Do also go out to have body massages at massage parlors??

Nope, just like you I never tried to go to any massage center. My brother does it all the time. Most of my friends too. Most of them have asked me to go there and have a massage so I can feel relaxed. But nope I told them I can't because I know that I'll feel ticklish and I am afraid the masseuse will just get annoyed at me if I react every now and then. I am not sure if it is a want or a need. If I do go there I would think it is just a want. But for most of the people I know I guesss they feel it's necessary to go there since they usually complain of feeling back and body pain - I do feel it too but still I really have no plans going there yet. Maybe I might try one day but not for now.

It's not an issue about being conservative or not. Massage is not a taboo. Massage gives relief after hard days work. Maybe you were only focusing on the bad side or bad report about massage parlors and the likes. I don't go to massage parlor- but have my regular body massage at home with a masseuse (woman who practices massage) Have a good day

My daughter is a physical therapist. When she was in her earlier years of school, a couple doctors opening a new physical therapy building asked her to go to massage therapy school so that she could teach the parents to do massages to their children who were hyper active. They felt if they could teach the parents to do this, this could cut out some of the medications they were giving the children. My daughter did massages to finish getting herself through college. Many people, including my daughter now, go to get messages on a regular basis because they are so relaxing. MY daughter has done massages on me and they feel so good that your entire body is so relaxed and rested that you feel like you could just lie there for hours and relax. I'd say for many workers or even moms (who are workers) is is something that is not needed but sure does help. And it would be nice if they all could have a massage when they are worn out and stresssed out. They are great!

Massages are wonderful. I love having a massage. I live next door to a small shopping center. There is a massage parlor almost next door to me and I treat myself to a massage two or three times a year. My birthday is coming so I will be buying myself a massage as a present. I have tried different types of massages. This coming tme, I am thinking that I will request a 90 minute Swedish massage with hand and foot reflexology. I hope that one day you can get over your modesty and experience a massage. They are really good for you.

Massage really helps a lot to feel better and eased back pains.I never experienced to go into a spa or any massage parlor to have massage but I have massage once in awhile at home with our sister,she know how to do Swedish massage so everyone in the house do have free massage once in awhile when my sister is in the mood.

It has many benefits but I prefer not to go to any body massages parlor. I just can't imagine myself to be touched by someone I do not know. Like you I haven't tried it even at once in my whole life. This is weird but some people are comfortable doing it but for me I'm not.

I would love to get body massages, but I just don't have the money for it.

One year, as a gift, my husband paid for a massage at a salon/spa. In my country the term "massage parlor" tends to mean something a bit unscrupulous. Anyway, it took me a long time to be brave enough to use the gift certificate. I enjoyed it and the masseuse made me very comfortable and relaxed. I will go to a chiropractor,which is a doctor that does body manipulation. It is not as "luxurious" as a massage, but it is more useful to me. My chiropractor taught my husband some things that he can do that help me with some painful issues. I like it better.

There are massages in parlours...and there are massages in Clinics by a Registered Massage Therapist! Massage parlours are totally different! A RMT Clinic, in Canada..is someone that has been to school for 4+ years, and has studied the entire musculatar/skeleton system as well as the cirdulatory system. The schoolingis in-depth..and they receive a degree, and Government sanction...and can be prescribed from a Dr. as part of recovery on on-going therapy! My daughter-in-law is an RMT! I have had several perscribed massages...but never a "fly by night" massage! Cheers!

I have never had a professional massage. It sounds wonderful but I don't have money for such things. I think if I had a real aching body I might try it out. I have found that acupuncture really works and seems amazing.

As far as I know, our muscles need massage from time to time. Muscles are made up of a large number of strands that can get disoriented when excessive pressure is applied. Someone needs to re-orient these strands in order for our muscles to function properly. I had some massages before but I don't frequent it, it's costly.

I just want to ask how come you can relate massages or touching you by strangers for being conservative? Sorry I can't see the point but then what if your body needs medical attention that doctors will really touch you even the sensitive areas? Meaning to say if someone massage your legs then that could be a bad impression for your family because they are conservative? In my case when there are lots of promo, discounts, especially from groupons I really tend to have body massage and it releases my stress.

I do not go out to massage parlours, I usually call them to come to my house. It is not necessary a need since you can do without it but it just a form of relaxation or sort of exercise.

I have tried it once only. I was quite nervous because I have to take off my clothes except for my underwear. I was uncomfortable because somebody will touch my body. Nobody had touch my body before. After the massage, I feel so relax. I know there are many benefits that it can give to us. This is also a great way to relieve yourself from stress. This not a need. I guess more of want. Happy mylotting!

I have never gottan a body massage and probaly never will. I could use one and have one done on a regular basis just to relax me! Unforuntely I never seem to have the money to do this! If I could I would go to a chiropractor's office where they have a licensed massege therapist.

I seldom have it too. Indeed a massage is important to have a better blood circulation. At least we do it once in three months I think. Ask a male worker to have your body massaged.

I agree with you about that a massage is not something a person really needs. If someone does not feel good, maybe they should work out regularly. I do like sports. I am very healthy now.

I think it's alright for one to go to massage parlors and you know, get some relaxation after hard week's work. I go to massage parlors but not regularly like our housemate, only when I really feel tired and think I could use some massage. Massage actually relaxes the body from stress and it improves the quality of sleep. I think it's alright and equally important to pamper yourself once in a while. As for you not having a massage yet, ever, I do understand that you have been brought up by a conservative family, and it's fine. I think now that you've grown up, you have the choice to open yourself to the many pleasures of life, you know, just the right amount, and never excessive. It does require coming out of your comfort-zone, so it means you need to exert effort. If your curious, it wouldn't hurt to try it. It's not bad at all. Remember, you'll never find out how deep the pool is if you just look at it.
