My experiences with having a massage have been limited. Most of the massages I have had in the past were for physical therapy. I got ultrasound and a few nurses that had chiropractor experience kneaded my back for medical purposes. My ex-girlfriends and my ex-wife also gave me massages as well. I have never been to a massage salon. I thought those were mostly for women as part of beauty spas. At the mall where I work nights and weekends, there was a display with various vendors selling products. One vendor was a beauty spa and advertised massages. I asked if they did massage for men and they said yes and the price seemed affordable. What is the deal with these places? I don't want to pay upfront and then have some man come in and no thank you because I don't want a massage from a man. I want a female masseuse. Do I wear a towel and do they do a full body rub down? It's not a massage parlor/escort sort of place so I don't want to do anything inappropriate. Do they avoid rubbing where I have my towel or is it full body? I did get a massage at a bachelor party the guys went to a strip club that had women that did massage. It was nice but I could only take my shirt off and had to leave the shirt on my arm. I told the girl who massaged me that I might check out some place like a spa because it was great. It is mostly to ease tension and I do have some lower back pain but not pain enough to do physical therapy. I think getting a massage now and then would help for stress relief. Do you get massage on a regular basis? How does it go? What are the rules? Obviously asking the masseuse out on a date after work would be taboo. I would prefer men's answers but women can also reply. Again, please do not confuse this with escort massage because that is not it.
