Who enjoys Massages?

[the_bob_delusion]

I'm currently in Boracay and massages are roughly less than $10 AUD/hr so I was told by everyone I should get them. I've had one every day. Don't get me wrong, It's OK. But people make out it's the best thing. Half the time I'm in pain. I can think of better things to do in an hour.

Depends on the type of massage.

I occasionally go to a Thai massage place ($20 for 20 mins in Surry Hills as a comparison Bob) and that is painful.

When I go to Thailand the massages are $8 for a hour, I have to ask them to be gentle with me. 🙂

Feel so good afterwards because the hotel beds are so hard in Thailand, have not come across a soft bed yet,

Bob, what are you doing? You are in Boracay and your posting here?

Forget about Australia and the world, just become a Borcayian for a while.

I've never had one from a person, i did have a cat that gave them to me years ago. but the cat would go to sleep on me in the process, and shed

Are you really there?  Or hallucinating?  Massaging the grey cells? 

If you are there, who are you conversing with.  Any decent debates?

I don't like them at all.  I had a series of massage treatments for a frozen shoulder a couple of years ago and didn't enjoy any of it one bit.  Even neck and shoulder rubs, I can't stand them.

A friend gave me a voucher for one for my birthday - I gave it away 😐

Mr Elephant and I have a massage once a month.  It costs considerably more than $8 - 10 (though we do get some back through our private health cover). Our masseuse is Australian - of Dutch parentage - and specialises in remedial massage; many of her clients are sports ethusiasts or do heavy manual work. It can be a bit painful and I wouldn't want one every day but it certainly loosens up the muscles and  keeps the old limbs working reasonably well

I've never had one but we do seem to have a lot of *ahem* massage parlours popping up around here lately. They are usually called something like exotic Thai.

I have no problem with prostitution but I do wonder sometimes whether the masseuse knew what they were being sponsored for.

Sponsorship Manipulation perhaps?
