  1. I wanted to bump this and see what others think about this. I haven't gotten a massage in a while and was considering doing so. While reaching out to one, I asked about vaccination status of the masseur, and he said he wasn't comfortable answering. I didn't push, but I didn't move forward with scheduling. 

  2. When I book a massage at my gym, no one has ever asked me to confirm. They have a policy, if you need to cancel, you must do so within 24 hours of the appt, otherwise they charge you for the hour. I often book a week in advance because I need a specific time, and I've come to know how popular that time slot can be.

     

    I never understood a need to confirm an appointment with one man working on one table, although some customers seem to have a constant issue with commitment.

     

    The act of confirming is added work for both parties. Depending on schedules, it can create a lot of back and forth, most of which should be unnecessary. Maybe for certain customers confirmations are necessary. If I were a MT therapist, I would be turned off by a customer asking for a confirmation call. It would suggest to me that the customer is a flake and not reliable.

     

     

    I typically would agree. He confirmed the first appointment we had, and when I scheduled earlier in the week, he said he would confirm everything the day before. Most massage appointment I've had involved some sort of confirmation, but I don't personally need a reminder (I'm not forgetting I have one scheduled. Haha.).

  3. I scheduled with someone for today (I’ve seen him before). We discussed time, but both agreed we’d confirm the day before. I texted him last night, and once again this morning (was supposed to be a late morning appointment). Am I in the right not to go? At this point, I probably wouldn’t even make my train to get there on time, but am looking for validation.

  4. I have a Massage Envy membership. The guy I see regularly is great. Always a fantastic (fully therapeutic) massage. He also sees clients privately (sadly, he’s referenced in passing the only time he’s asked a private client to not come back was when the guy tried some touching, was asked to stop, but then continued. Guess my guy won’t be showing up on RM or MF. Haha). But, seriously, if you can find someone you like, you can get a good massage at a decent price. Can be a crapshoot, though.

  5. Question for everyone. I’ve seen someone who offers a shower before/after the massage, but the majority have not. For the most part, it hasn’t been needed. Also, most of time, I’m taking public transportation into the city, so there’s some walking between a station and where I’m getting the massage. If it’s crazy hot/humid out, is it kosher to ask if a shower before is ok? I would think the masseur would prefer to not touch someone sweaty. I wouldn’t want to be presumptuous/out of line.

  6. For me, I just look at it as something different. I'm married, and while we have a monogamish agreement, I don't really have interest in full experiences. I love getting massages, even when they're just therapeutic. If there's a connection going on there, and there's sensual touch (and maybe kissing) and release, it just enhances the experience. Admittedly, I'm surprised with even myself because one of my biggest concerns with any activity outside of a relationship is fear of over-connection, or it taking away from the relationship. I think I've done a good job at compartmentalizing (if that's the correct term to use here) and enjoying the physical and sexual pleasure for what it is. I've fooled around with some friends recently too, but I know who I want to share every intimate aspect with.

     

    That being said, if this (or any other) activity is detracting from your life/experiences in any way, I think it's a great thing to take a break and do what's best/healthiest for you.
