Issue with forward massage therapist (1 Viewer)

Never had a massage.

:shrug:
pretty amazing... unless you're ashamed of your body and need to wear undies.
Not at all. I've always been in good shape. Just never something I considered doing or felt the need for. And I've worked in mostly strenuous jobs throughout my life, never office work.
They're not bad at all. I'd never order one and go by myself, but when my gf and I go on vacation she usually books us a couples massage. I like to go with the unique styles like the hot stone massage. I always leave thinking why don't I do this more often?
Yeah, we travel a lot and stay mostly at Four Seasons or similar and never use the spa service. Wife isn't into it either. I guess if she was, I'd give it a shot. Glad she isn't though.

my wife isn't into it either, though she got us a couples massage for our anniversary. I go monthly for the training benefits. Before these past few months the last time I had gone was a few days before the bar exam.

 
I can present a before and after view of the underwear/no underwear thing.

No underwear 100 times out of 100. It's a better massage on both your leg/thigh/glut area as well as your lower back. It just is.
:confused:

The only thing my underwear cover is basically the cheeks. Thighs and lower back are both plenty accessible. And don't therapists usually massage the glutes over the sheet anyway?

WTF.

I'm not ashamed of anything. I go for the benefits of flushing out all the lactic acids in my muscles and to be less sore and more flexible. Two weekends again I played 10 softball games in one day after doing cross fit the night before.* Could barely move the next day. Got a massage and just a few days later I was back to blowing up the infielders' feet three days in a row at softball worlds. Massages are great for sports therapy. I wear underwear so the therapist focuses on her business rather than getting the wrong idea.

*####### right that if you're gonna call me out I'm gonna start bringing up my softball ability.

Underwear (boxer briefs in my case) on, they tuck the sheet in your waistband when they are working on your back. That, and the bottom of your underwear, create basically a barrier to the massage. They won't go lower than that line on your back, and they won't go higher than the bottom of your underwear when you're on your stomach and they are working on your legs.

Underwear off there are no barriers. There's nothing dirty about it, but the long strokes that make a good massage don't have to stop at a predetermined point on your back or legs. Especially your legs. They will work all sorts of muscles almost up through your hip.

It *is* a better massage.

You're fat and move like Frankenstein... 'Wrong idea' as in connecting jumper cables to the bolts in your neck? And seriously, 25 lbs overweight while doing crossfit and softball (cough, buIIshlt, cough)?

It helps to at least have younger quick guys in the outfield.

It's also weird how you really don't notice. Things started to not fit so much anymore, but I needed new clothes anyway and could afford it so, over time, I transitioned in an all new wardrobe. Since I got married I stopped caring so much about my appearance and gains in the gym. Instead I'd just go and use it as an excuse to go out to eat afterwards. I play mostly golf and softball so stamina really isn't missed.

Honestly, it's taken multiple people at these larger softball tournaments who I haven't seen in a couple of years to call me out on my weight to make me realize how much I've gained. Stepped on a scale afterwards and :o

 
I don't really understand the whole "i'm married now so I don't have to care about my appearance" philosophy. I would be pissed if my wife felt that way.

I have had two couples massages. The first one I didn't really know what to do, so I just kept my boxer briefs on while the female massaged me. The second time we got a massage I stripped naked and had a dude give me a massage. Didn't weird me out or anything at all.

OK, the underwear discussion is getting ridiculous. I've gotten probably 20+ massages a year for the past 20 years. So maybe 400+. And I wore underwear with the first one. Because I didn't know any better.

Wearing underwear hinders the therapist's movement. They've seen thousands of bodies. Don't be so hung up on yours. Relax and let them do the work.

Definitely no underwear. If your massage therapist happens to see your massive erection when you roll over, she will take it as a compliment. In fact in some countries it is considered a grave insult if you don't have a boner during a massage.

Slow-pitch catcher? Dude.

 
Never had a massage either. Never even had a thought to get one. This thread has not changed that opinion.
You're a fitness nut. Go get a deep tissue massage. Seriously.
Eh, I really don't like being touched (in a non-sexual way). Obviously I'm cool with shaking hands, hugging, etc, but the thought of someone rubbing me down doesn't thrill me. I realize that this is not a normal point of view and most people enjoy massages, just not my thing. When I'm feeling really crappy from working out, I'll soak in a hot tub for awhile. That seems to do the trick.

Never had a massage either. Never even had a thought to get one. This thread has not changed that opinion.
You're a fitness nut. Go get a deep tissue massage. Seriously.
Eh, I really don't like being touched (in a non-sexual way). Obviously I'm cool with shaking hands, hugging, etc, but the thought of someone rubbing me down doesn't thrill me. I realize that this is not a normal point of view and most people enjoy massages, just not my thing. When I'm feeling really crappy from working out, I'll soak in a hot tub for awhile. That seems to do the trick.
as far as you know.

seriously- if I could have a massage every second of my life, I would. and for fitness people... they're the best- hot tubs are nice and all... but not in the same ball-park for muscle relief.

and another secondary reason for no underwear... the oil. unless you want oil-stained underwear.
