I've had several massages from both men and women. My first massage was from a woman. She started with me laying on my stomach and as her delicate femine fingers were working on my body, I couldn't help but get hard. Through the rest of the massage, I was ah uncomfortable, and embarassed. When I had to roll over on my back, even though I was covered, I'm sure she noticed. I thought I would never have another massage.
Then I got a gift certificate on father's day and decided to try again. I scheduled the appt. I workout out hard before my massage, when I went to the spa, I surprised to see a man waiting for me. I thought, what the hell, I'm not going to freak out on this guy, so stripped and got on the table.
It was quickly evident that this guy new what he was doing, he spent a lot of time working on my sore muscles and using a lot of pressure to get the kinks out. He seemed to know, without me telling him, where the sore spots were. And the main thing is, I didn't get a hard-on when he massaged me. I left feeling relaxed and calm.. I've gone to the same guy several times since. A lot of times he's booked up so I go somewhere else.
My experiences with male massage therapist has always been positive.

Loved your story! Wow, the things we go through for our spouses. Hope you managed to get your knots relieved by some other means . . . maybe a massage from your wife. :)

Seriously know how you feel same thing happened to me in a hotel after a 12 hour flight a few weeks back although it was more a case of the fact I couldn't work out if it was a man or not rather than it actually being a man.

I hasten to add that I stuck to just the back and declined the full body!!!! ;o)

@Chadwicks: I probably would have argued with my wife more if it wasn't a gift from her. I think she got the clue this time and hopefully won't force another dude upon me like this...maybe next time we'll be able to schedule it better so we can both enjoy it!

@ bgabrees:I can't say that I'll ever do it again!

@ A Husband: Very true...I wasn't too comfortable with another dude with his hands all over my wife, but once he began talking about his wife, I felt better.

This happened to me and my wife once. We went and I was going to be massaged by "Rocky." Rocky was a small, super skinny, eighteen-year-old-looking kid. I tried to stay focused, but I just couldn't.

And I had to do it for my wife. She had a girl, and would have been absolutely uncomfortable with another man touching her, so I took the fall. Can't fault a woman for not wanting any man but her husband touching her like that.

I wrote about the couple's massage experience here.

Dude - I would be like you and could not enjoy it. Unlike you, I would not be man enough to go and get the manssage. There's no happy ending here. Thanks for the entertaining post@!

You truely have my simpathy. I have never gone to get a massage because of the internal turmoil that has to be overcome.

My wife tried to talk me into one one time, but when the topic came up of a man vs woman massause - lets just say the conversation got heated. The was no way in hell I was letting another man put his hands all over me and no way my wife was letting another woman do it. So, being at an impass - I opted out. End of story.

You are definitely a braver man than me.

Hi,
I'm a first time visitor (applause). Very clever blog you have here. I wonder if you have coined a new term-manssage...I like it. This reminds me of a travel show I watch where this guy Anthony Bourdain got a "manssage" in Norway. The male masseus inexplicably came in wearing a loin cloth, sat on top of him and gave him a massage. He says he's still mortified by that footage. By those standards, you got off easy. It was really sweet of you to suck it up for your wife, though.

@Brillig: I find myself "thinking" my way through things more often so I can put something up here on my blog - funny how that works!
@Morethan: Thanks for stopping by! Haven't seen you in a while...and no...IT didn't move :-) And thank you - I never meant for this it be a heavy-hearted or mean post.

Did IT move? LOL

You had someone comment..."In the interest of being a better Father and Husband, really look at what cultural and societal influences are causing you to feel this way so that you can change your perceptions and better society in the process."

To appear to be an excellent husband and father already...you'll be just fine.

Hahahahahahahahaha. Holy crap, I'm dying here. I'm imagining my husband in the same situation-- he wouldn't survive it with the grace that you seem to have. Hahaha. But it's AMAZING what sorts of things you can go through if you just think to yourself, "I'll be able to write an awesome blogpost about this when it's over..."

@Xbox: Man, you're right - I just can't win. Probably a good thing that I didn't go into the massage with beer goggles on.
@Ben: Glad you stopped by and I appreciate your comment. Bruno acted very professionally...I never said otherwise. I realize that the massage wasn't a sexual experience and I really just wanted to make light of the situation. As I grow as a father, I'm becoming more aware of how my perceptions will influence my daughter's life...but it's all a learning lesson.
@James: Thanks...glad I could help!

Tyler, so glad it was you and not me. Way to take one for your team.

Ben Englisch — Tue, 13 May 2008 16:27:21 -0000

To Tyler and anyone else who has reservations about receiving a massage from a _professional_ masseuse, you really need to take a step back and question why this makes you uncomfortable. This is Bruno's job and he is going to approach it with the respect that any professional would. You can't request a female nurse to give you a prostate exam just because you don't like the idea of a man's finger in your ass. This would simply be absurd because a prostate exam isn't sexual. And neither is a professional massage at a spa.

In the interest of being a better Father and Husband, really look at what cultural and societal influences are causing you to feel this way so that you can change your perceptions and better society in the process. What if your daughter grows up to be gay? Would you want her to live in a world with such prejudices?

@Babbo: If I'm ever in Wisconsin I'll make it a point to stop by...thanks for the offer!
@Dad of Divas: I appreciate the comment - thanks for stopping by! I was very uneasy and from what I can tell, I'm not the only guy that would be uncomfortable.
@Selina: Oh boy - I feel for your boyfriend. I but his Mr. T wasn't too excited to be massaging another dude either! Thanks for stopping by.
@Joel: Thanks for the bookmark - hope to see you around.
@Jen: That is kinda weird...when we left, the guys handed us their business cards and that's about it. I might have punched the guy if tried to give me a hug.
@Tom: Good idea! It wouldn't hurt to surround myself with some manliness.

"Maybe if I went into the manssage after a few beers I would have been more relaxed!"

Woah...easy there now, you don't wanna be TOO relaxed ;0)

...you just can't win eh?

Tyler - you poor, poor dude. I can't stop laughing. I'm sorry, man. Okay - quickly, get yourself a copy of Delta Force or Silent Rage or at least the first season of Walker, Texas Ranger, and get absorbed in watching Chuck Norris kick butt. While drinking some Newcastle. That'll man things back up for you good.

I can't say my husband ever encountered a "Manssage". I'm sure he's thankful for that. However, your story did remind me of a massage I had one time that left me feeling a bit, um, I don't know- icky? Is it normal for your massage therapist (woman) to hug you after the massage and then send you a note to your home thanking you?????
