I had my first Swedish massage this summer. She did something strange, though. She pulled on my hair and tugged at my ears. I think she was doing that to…. “eliminate the cares of the world in the little bubble that is now floating out of the room, down the hall, out the front door, into the sky, to a land far, far away.” After that awkward moment, the rest of the hour was awesome!

How odd…my 1st massage was by a Jamaican too…only it was a he & he was rather soft spoken. For my second I requested a female, but she called in sick so I got some strange guy that had ‘an alternative style’ that was just weird. Weird.

You’re very dark and mysterious in your picture, Charles.

Hi All,
Sitting at the front desk, waiting for today’s mail (gave the school secretary the day off) -- - anyway…

I personally have had two massages -- the first, by a rather large and very powerfully voiced Jamaican woman back in 1995. All I remember is that she said, “Git yu undressed and up on da table!” so I did.

Second, last year by another female who pretty much just rubbed my shoulders and it was rather painful -- Deb had the same gal but I think enjoyed it more.

On another note, I have a serious case of Settlers of Cattaan withdrawl! Can anyone PLEASE help me out there??!!

At the beginning, I always say, “sorry if I fall asleep.” Translation, don’t talk to me, otherwise, this is weird. I prefer not to make small talk when I’m wearing a blanket/towel and being poked by a stranger.

I also prefer female if only because then I don’t have to worry about the man being a) creepy or b) really good looking. ‘Cause obviously, those are the only two options. Ha!

I suppose it would get boring after awhile massaging pieces of meat and muscle… :\

I think I would be more comfortable with a woman… although, if I had a knot like Lauren did, a man might get it out better :\

Naw, Just sometimes from work, really what I need are new shoes, and that’ll take care of that!

Thanks for your concern though ))))

PS…If you do try a female…let me know if that’s less weird, or more weird. Either way, tell her not to talk. (I pretend to be deaf so they don’t talk to me)

HA! I LOVE your picture!

And way to step out of your comfort zone! I hope Kevin got rid of all your knots…because then the uncomfortablness really is worth it. I’ve had 2 massages in my life…and like Deborah…I too have thought “This is weird.” Yet wonderful!

I have always had a female. One time I told the receptionist that I would take male or female, then I was nervous while waiting thinking that I might get a male and that would be weird. But then I got a female which is also weird. Every time I get a massage, at some point I think, “This is weird.” But they feel so good, so I keep going back.
That’s my story.

Are you often in a lot of pain? That doesn’t sound good….

You’re doing well, Daniel-san. Next, we’ll try a woman therapist and see if that’s any easier for you.

My mom has gotten a massage, and she loves them…
I totally should have gotten one while I was in Peru… it would have been way cheaper..But I guess if I’m a lot of pain, I can always ask my Dad for a massage…
