Valentine's Day is tomorrow. Many spas will be busy with couples massage services.
As a massage therapist, I have a public plea when it comes to couples massages...
Please keep your
"𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙨"
"𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙"
"𝙄'𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙖 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜"
"𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚"
as well as your jealous / insecure
partners at home!

It seems like the majority of couples massages that I do typically involves a wife (or girlfriend, side chick, etc) who is grinning from ear to ear, beaming with excitement about going to the spa for a couples massage while her partner (typically a husband, boyfriend) is visibly annoyed. It is obvious that he has been dragged there against his will.

He walks in moody, arms crossed, and heavily sighs. Before the massage starts the massage therapist asks him questions regarding health and areas of pain or tension. He just shrugs, rolls his eyes and gives vague responses such as:
"𝙉𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙨, 𝙄'𝙢 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚."
"𝙄 𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩𝙨. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠."

Meanwhile the wife, girlfriend, etc shares a grocery list worth of issues and preferences to her massage therapist. During the massage she is relaxed and is enjoying the session, he lies on the table stiff as a board. He can't wait until this is all over.

I want you to know something... comfort and consent are major components of massage therapy. For me, I find it uncomfortable and awkward to massage someone who does not want to be touched. Maybe their reluctance could have been from a past trauma. When someone doesn’t want to be touched, their nervous system stays on alert causing the muscles to contract and stay tense. If the nervous system does not feel safe, the body can't relax.

If you drag in a reluctant partner, you will likely spend your entire massage wondering and even looking over at them to see if they are enjoying it. You know what that means? That means you are NOT relaxing.

If your partner doesn’t like massage or spas, that’s okay. Book a solo spa day for yourself or bring a friend. You can also look for local "couples massage classes" where you can be taught how to massage your partner.

On the subject of jealousy and insecurity, it's even more awkward when someone has a partner who is insecure. Ironically, sometimes it's the insecure partner who booked the couples massage. They will come into the spa with a bad attitude and glare at their partner's massage therapist. They will even spend the majority of massage looking at their partner and will shoot eye daggers at the massage therapist watching their every move.

On behalf of all massage therapists, we don't want your partner. We're just trying to do a job. If you need to, you can have the massage done in separate rooms.

Another alternative: check to see if there are local couples massage classes or read books, watch video tutorials on the subject.

Massage should feel like a gift not a hostage situation, a chore, or a surveillance operation. It works best when people choose to relax.
