Issue with forward massage therapist (1 Viewer)

[Ned]

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.

The MT I see is a friggin' miracle worker. During a DT massage, it's not all that enjoyable. But the benefits afterward are worth double the pain you experience during the massage.

She is looking to escalate her services to escort and is fishing for clients. Hence the change in location.

Is this specific comment a copy and paste from another thread or am I having a weird case of de ja vu? I know I have read this somewhere.

No copy and paste. Just my weirdness. I had to go to a physical therapist for a bad back when I was fat and I would break out in a cold sweat at the thought of, and during the session. And she was mainly stretching my hamstrings and stuff. Stupid I know.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Has the next appointment been set?

Need a blow by blow account.

 

[Zow]

No. Dealing with fertility issues at moment so this is going on the back burner for safety's sake.

You're not alone. It's weird to me that people are comfortable laying on a bed naked letting a stranger rub all over them in a non-sexual way.

Never had a professional massage and definitely wouldn't have one in the buff, but I'm kind of a prude.

Maybe going nude would lead to some special massaging of the region and help with the fertility issues. Seems like a plausible excuse if the wife found out.

 

[Zow]

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.

It's a selfish approach and not a valid excuse. But, to say you don't "understand" this suggests you have no common sense... or you haven't gotten married (look, I thought the same way you did too back when I was in great shape and plowing girls I didn't care about). Two huge factors you're overlooking:

1. Pre-marriage, any normal person (this excludes you, Dentist) wants to bang as many hot chicks as possible and/or find the best possible wife he can. Looking good helps that. Now, I no longer give two ####s about what other girls think of me. And, my relationship with my life is just frankly good enough that she's going to love me and wants the secks the same regardless of whether I put on a few pounds.

2. There isn't the "free time" to spend taking the time it takes to stay ultra fit. Or, in other words, doing so becomes a lower priority. For example, for me, back when I was not married, I played some sort of high intensity sport (basketball, roller hockey, flag football, soccer, etc.) or did cross fit every single day of the week. I did this mostly at nights or during the days on the weekends. This was easy because I was dating girls I just didn't care about spending a ton of time with (i.e. you put in just enough to make sure the sex is flowing). When I met my wife, I actually was then with somebody I enjoyed spending time with... regardless of whether that time was spent in the bedroom or not. So, since I like spending time with her, the natural trade-off is that the physical activities drop off... and, instead, I'm spending time with her going out to eat, making dinners, sharing a bottle of wine, watching TV, etc.

 

[James Daulton]

So you're in awesome shape for someone you don't care about, and a tub of goo now because the women you "love" will stay with you anyway. Strong logic. And you said yourself its eating that's making you a lard ###. You have time for 10 softball games in one day but not time to eat right?

Your getting older and don't have the same motivation now. Even though you should have more motivation. Poor wife, sold a bill of goods.

I'm not a tub of goo. Shall we begin comparing gym statistics and other athletic endeavors? I'm pretty confident I can still hang. Also, "time to eat right"?? WTF are you talking about? Timing isn't the issue there. The issue is solely choice of what I eat... and my wife has been right there with me in making the "bad" choices. We've both put on some weight since meeting each other. We're both at fault. We're both making the decision to jump back on paleo.

"Your" out of your element here, Donny.

Suggest to the wife that a three way would get your boys swimming like Phelps. It would make for a hell of a conception story...

Didn't mean to rile you up brah. I'm sure your softball exploits are quite impressive. I was simply putting it out there that your wife deserves your best, not some random softball groupie. I'm trying to lay out some experience here for you, not trying to get into a kippling contest with you.

I have played some sort of sports my entire life and worked out as well. I have never had a really meaningful relationship like the one I have right now. I have gone from about 205 lbs ,10% body fat to about 190 lbs and can barely see my abs. And it has all happened within the last two years. I don't play basketball anymore cause I would miss dinner or whatever else we would have going on and I don't stay on a consistent enough schedule to really take weight lifting / cardio seriously anymore. Before, I would always have time to do whatever I wanted cause I just texted whatever flavor of the month I was on just enough to sleep with them. I would schedule my day around nutrition, staying fit, and looking good. I still work out now some, but just not enough to be on an elite fitness level. I spend more time and money on dates and wine rather than supplements and protein drinks. I have someone I can spend time with on a regular basis so my working out takes a back seat. This is the norm for most of the guys I have ever known.

Sure. I get letting up on the gas, aging, slowing metabolism and other sorts of things. I don't think anyone expects anyone to never age or have any body changes. I think you are kind of a poor example in defense of Woz. Maintaining abs takes enormous discipline/effort. You are talking about LOSING weight and adding a little body fat. I highly doubt you are "out of shape" now. Perhaps, less muscular and less defined, but still in relatively fantastic shape.

Woz is an entirely different situation.

I am not a fitness freak and have a fairly average body composition. As I have gotten older things have obviously started to change. But, I can't imagine allowing my body weight to increase by 10-20% in a couple of years just because I found an awesome girl who I love so much that I have no energy left to keep my weight in check.

For all I know, Woz's wife loves him just the way he is...hey, if it works for them, fine. I can simply speak for myself and would be pissed if my wife adopted the philosophy that just because I love her she can let herself go. I think that is bull####.

Maybe you could go to the gym together instead of getting fat? Been married 15 years and I'm in better shape than ever, so is my wife. It can be done if you get past the excuses and prioritize. But then, exercise is our main stress relief.

 

[jon_mx]

Can we get back to talking about sex with the massage therapist? TIA.

 

[Papa Georgio]

I'm almost 45 and still have upper abs showing pretty good. One of the reasons my first marriage failed was because she let herself go and I was afraid to tell her that. Stupid logic. Now she's a knock out and a workout fanatic. I thought telling her meant I was shallow but I am shallow and not telling her was me being a coward.

Physical appearance is important, don't let yourself get so comfortable you forget that.

Back to the massage, since I have never had one I have really thought about this and if I could just go naked. I would struggle, I mean even if I had some hell hammer going on I still think I am too modest.

That's because you're thinking about this sexually and not as a medical / health treatment. Or you're just hung up on nudity.

If my doctor needs to have me turn my head and cough, I'm not insisting I keep my drawers on.
