The human body is a mystery. That’s a given. We don’t know what makes us fat, and we don’t know why we hurt a lot of the time. We don’t know how often we should sleep, and most of us don’t know wha that bump near our elbow even fucking is.
But we do know being rubbed feels good. Do we know why? Not really. People will say that you’re softening the connective tissue between flesh and muscle. Others will tell you, it relaxes the muscles themselves. And still other damn hippies will tell you that simple human contact in a relaxing environment is what your chakra, or spirit craves. But it works, and we know that. Hard, soft, fast, slow massages done by someone who knows what they’re doing feel amazing.
But getting a good, inconceivably helpful massage is more daunting than it sounds. You get in your car, go to a strip mall, and pay a stranger to take you into a back room, undress you and then rub you down with the intimacy of a lover mixed with the distant separation of a dental hygienist. You pretend it’s not arousing, and they pretend they don’t notice you moaning and erect. OOR they do, and you’re offered a “release.” I don’t know which is creepier. I mean a brothel… you know what you’re getting. But these places don’t exactly have an a la carte menu for the extra stuff if you’re even the kind of weirdo to be down with it. And how do you know if you’re down with it, unless you’ve tried it?
For my money, get a partner that knows how to give a good rub and leave the parlors to the sleaze bags and old bachelors… and women.
Or am I wrong? Do I maybe not know what the hell I’m talking about?
Possibly. You tell me.

Massage is a good process that make us comfortable & your Idea is great that we should keep a partner that will rub our body & we should leave parlors thanks for sharing this awesome Idea @writesbackwards

Right? That's what I'm saying. Although, everyone I talk to that goes and gets them professionally done, swears by them.

Copy that, but do you go to a parlor, or get one from somebody close to you?

Well, I agree, it's more pleasurable to have your significant other give a massage, but what if there is NO signifiant other? Actually, massage therapy has many, many HEALTH benefits. Stress relief, deeper sleep, improved immunity, better digestion, improved flexibility, limits depression, and the big one for me (because of a certain condition) increases circulation (especially in the legs). Finding a good therapist in a reputable establishment is preferable to going to some sleazy place where they may or may not have questionable intentions. I also know how uncomfortable the first time may be, but once you find a good therapist and keep the same one, they become your friend and no longer a stranger. My opinion on the subject and you know what they say about opinions.....everyone has one! Good post though, makes us think!

Thanks for the input. And yeah, I know, sometimes there isn't someone around willing to spend an hour working out knots :)

No matter where and no matter who, it is important that the massage can be called the oldest and most effective way to improve health and prevent many diseases, without exaggeration. It is used at all stages of medical rehabilitation, resulting in muscle tone, restoring the body after injuries, reducing body fat and relieving stress.

For sure, but isn't it strange that when you really examine it, we don't really, REALLY know why it works? We know human touch is good. We know rubbing muscles relaxes them. But I just find it so fascinating, that it's so inexplicable.

Or you can have robot or the chair that massages you to massage you, if you feel being rubbed by other people is weird.

Used a chair in a public mall one time. Wasn't terrible, but certainly not as relaxing as it could have been. But... single guy with a massage chair in the living room. Seems like you can never explain away the creepiness to any guests that come over, you know?

Depends on the type of massage parlours you like to visit, haha. I personally love a food remedial massage every month or so. I work on a computer and develop some serious knots occasionally because I forget to take breaks and my posture is shitty.
I could ask my wife to massage me, but she doesn't have the training to really do the kind of deep tissue massage that I need in my shoulder and neck area to get rid of knots and at the same time, not accidentally paralyse me.
A good massage from a trained proper professional is great, I would avoid those dodgy Thai massage places and massage parlours attached to shopping centres and malls (unless that's what you're into).

Food remedial massage? Tell me more. Is this like having some great food WHILE getting a massage? hahaha

Hahaha. At first I was wondering what you were on about, I thought you made a typo and then I re-read my comment and realised that my phone autocorrected good to food. I've never had a food remedial massage, but I would imagine that if such a thing existed, the cream they rub on your skin might be a sugary cream that tastes delicious, but leaves you feeling quite sticky.

This is a very good topic for a very good discussion. I think touch is the first form of communication that is taught at birth. We hold, tickle, bite and nibble babies in an effort to show love and affection. As adults we seek that same form of communication but it tends to only fall into the category of sexual behavior because we are now ADULTS..!! lol haha

We may not know what makes us fat but we can know. I was in Vietnam but decided not to get any massages. But in theory, it sounds tempting but it is better between a male husband and a female wife, biologically, literally, totally, completely.
