Massages: Awkward But Definitely Worth It
(Relax friend)
As a guy, if I were to tell you I went to a massage parlor, and was fully satisfied, you'd look at me as if I were some pervert.
Well I'm not but to avoid the question, I never go, which is a shame. Massages after and before your workout will always DRAMATICALLY improve your performance, and reduce muscle pain the following day.
Don't believe me? Lance Armstrong takes advantage of a good massage any time he gets.
So how do you get a massage? Again, as a guy, you'd probably be hard pressed to find someone to give you one, but if you're not afraid to head over to one of your sports therapy places, I'm sure a guy in a white coat will be happy to knead away at your back.
Trust me on this. The 3 mins of awkwardness is nothing compared to how you feel afterward.
How often do you get massages? Is it harder for a guy to get massage?

it is worth of messaging
I wouldn't know if it's harder for a guy to get a massage (since I'm not a guy) but I've never been uncomfortable getting them. I've had people be weirded out by that fact - "What? You're not uncomfortable to get naked in front of someone you don't know??" Nope. It's a professional capacity... I love them. And, I love getting them in an un-professional capacity when I'm in a relationship.
Massages ... are heavenly.
I love massages and I don't find them to be awkward at all. Giving or getting them doesn't phase me.
OMG massages are AMAZING. i've been itching for once. i was going to go this weekend, but didbt have time. i really want oneeeee!!!!!!!
I get one every other week at my chiropractor. I love them! They aren't awkward because I'm a girl, and my masseuse is a girl, but I think it would be awkward if my masseuse was a guy. Especially since I'm married.
i love massages! I try and go once every couple of months, but it sometimes doesn't happen that often.
I only get massages on special occasions. My brother gets them sometimes as well and he does not think it is awkward or such a big deal.
With insurance, I can get massages for $10!!! It definitely feels awesome. I dunno about getting one BEFORE a workout because it is like static stretching... it could lower performance. I can see if doing a world of good after a workout though.
thats a great tip for my marine!
i go for massages only when i'm going to thailand. they're cheap and awesome! in singapore they're pretty expensive
i only got a massage once and i was so shy about it. i was like "why do i have to get naked for this?".lol. but seriously afterwords i felt so relaxed that i feel asleep. they used napa valley champaign grape seeds & some peppermint glycolic cream; it was a bit pricey but damn it was worth it
I love getting massages. I used to work in Administration at a massage therapy school and scored a couple free massages. I've had both male and female and I don't have a preference. I don't find it awkward at all I love it.
I could understand why guys would think it would be awkward, but have they ever had a massage? Don't knock it til you try it!
My friend gives another bloke massages in our Spanish Class. =D
My hubby gives me massages whenever I ask for them. I'm just lucky I guess.
