10 Embarrassing Massage Questions
from: Jessica ThomsonGetting a massage, no doubt, is an excellent way to distress
both your mind and body. But quite a few people avoid going for
a massage. The reason being, they have questions in their mind
which at times are unanswered and hence they shy away from going
to a massage parlor. Here are the 10 Embarrassing Massage
Questions that you want to ask, but may be too uncomfortable to:
1. Should I provide a tip to my massage therapist? If you are
getting massage done at a hotel or spa, providing tip is a
standard if you are satisfied with the services. While in a
clinical or medical setting tipping is not appropriate. If you
are doubtful then it's better to inquire about whether tipping
is customary or not. 2. While getting a massage, am I supposed
to undress fully? If you are having problem in areas such as
your lower back, buttocks, heaps or groin, fit underwear can
become an obstacle while doing massage. 3. What if I see I have
dribbled through the massage? The effect of the massage is so
soothing that people tend to fall to sleep and when they wake up
find a pool of dribble on the massage table or pillow. Do not be
embarrassed about it and do ask for a tissue. 4. When I undress
will the massage therapist be present? Request your therapist to
leave while you undress and lie down on the massage table. 5. At
the time of massage should I converse with the massage
therapist? Although few people wish to talk during the massage,
it is not necessary that you have to talk with the massage
therapist. You are free to relax by closing your eyes, which is
done by most of the people. 6. What to do if I get erection at
the time of massage? Some men avoid getting massage therapy as
they are worried about getting an erection but there is no need
to get embarrassed because it's natural for men to get an
erection at the time of a non-sexual therapeutic massage. But
your massage therapist is generally aware of this and avoids
such sensitive areas. 7. How can I know whether it is a genuine
massage clinic or not? Even though you might believe massage
parlors that provide sensual or <a

obviously seedy, but sometimes it is difficult to spot these
places. Therefore before trying a new spa or clinic certain
questions should always be asked. 8. The pressure is not much
deep, but I don't want to abuse the massage therapist's method.
What should I do? Communicate with the massage therapist openly.
Some of the efficient types of massage therapy are calm and do
not comprise of deep pressure or pain. In reality, extra
pressure can lead to seize up of muscle. 9. I don't want the
massage therapist to notice certain part of my body as I am
self-conscious about that. What should I do? People are
self-conscious for many reasons. But this should never keep you
away from taking health care whether it's doctor or a massage
therapist. 10. Should I request for a female massage therapist?
Some men are not comfortable in having a massage done by a male
massage therapist due to problem of getting erected, so they
prefer female massage therapist. While some women also wish to
have a female massage therapist as they fell more comfortable
with them. Thus, these are the 10 most embarrassing massage
questions which are always in the mind of the person while going
to a massage therapist.
