\"Man<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve received a gift certificate for a massage as a birthday or Father\u2019s Day gift<\/a>, or just want to get one and have never pulled the trigger, it can be a little scary to think about a stranger rubbing your at least semi-naked body for an hour or more. It\u2019s sort of an awkward scenario when you really think about it. <\/span><\/p>\n

There has to be some unwritten rules about the whole experience, right? Indeed there are. <\/span><\/p>\n

Your time will be far more enjoyable \u2014 for both you and the therapist \u2014 if you\u2019re aware of this code of etiquette. Below are 8 things to keep in mind when going in for a massage. <\/span><\/p>\n

Quick prelim point: do you choose a male or female therapist? <\/b>This can be a hotly debated topic among men. If you\u2019re straight, does having a guy massage therapist make you gay? Is having a woman akin to cheating? The answer to both is no. It just comes down to preference. Anecdotally, most guys prefer women therapists, but certainly not all. I was honestly a little worried during my first massage that it would feel weird having a woman besides my wife touching me, but it\u2019s really not at all a sexual thing. It\u2019s about relaxation, not seduction. That said, if it\u2019s a problem for you, there\u2019s nothing wrong with having a guy give you a massage. Try out both, and see what feels more comfortable. <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Take a shower beforehand. <\/b>If you were a massage therapist, would you want to be touching someone who had just come from the gym? Or from mowing the lawn and doing some landscaping work? No thank you. Get rid of the stank and arrive clean and fresh. <\/span><\/p>\n

Your therapist will probably also be rubbing down your feet and hands, so clip your sloth nails before you go in. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Arrive early. <\/b>Before a massage appointment, you\u2019ll have to fill out some health background paperwork, and also talk with the therapist for just a couple minutes about what you\u2019re looking for. Showing up right as your appointment starts means you\u2019re actually shorting yourself on massage time. Fifteen minutes early is perfect, especially if it\u2019s your first time. If you become a regular, 5 minutes early will be just fine. <\/span><\/p>\n

3. Turn off your phone. <\/b>Nobody wants their phone to be dinging during what\u2019s supposed to be a relaxing 30-90 minutes. Even a vibration is often noticeable in a quiet room, so go nuclear, and shut the dang thing down. Probably needs a break anyway after being on for a few months straight.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Undress to your level of comfort. <\/b>This is what the therapist will typically tell you before beginning the massage. They\u2019ll leave the room, allow you to undress and get on the table, and place a sheet over your lower extremities. You\u2019ll either undress to your underwear or down to the nude. It\u2019s really whatever you\u2019re comfortable with. You\u2019re not a prude if you keep your underwear on, and you\u2019re not a perv if you remove it. But it is easier for the therapist to work without a cloth barrier to truncate their movements (especially true if you\u2019re wearing big, baggy boxer shorts), so you really should remove your undies if possible.<\/p>\n

Even if you decide to go nude, your family jewels are never actually exposed. Though you\u2019ll be asked to turn over during the massage, therapists do some nifty sheet work to keep everything under wraps as you do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s normal not to feel comfortable removing your underwear the very first time you get a massage, but you\u2019ll probably feel more comfortable in doing so on subsequent visits. Remember that you\u2019re dealing with a professional who sees human flesh day in and day out, and won\u2019t find small glimpses of your buttocks weird, sexual, or at all interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Communicate. <\/b>Something uncomfortable? Let the massage therapist know. They\u2019ll usually ask at the beginning what kind of pressure you want; if you don\u2019t know, tell them that, then be sure to communicate whether you like what they\u2019re doing or not. In this type of setting, it\u2019s not at all personal. <\/span><\/p>\n

You should also communicate at the beginning if you don\u2019t want a certain part of your body massaged. For instance, I don\u2019t like my feet being touched (because they\u2019re ticklish, and I just don\u2019t like feet), so I always let the therapist know before we start. <\/span><\/p>\n

That all said, do you need to make conversation?<\/span> Feedback is okay as just mentioned, and some small talk is acceptable as well, but you certainly shouldn\u2019t feel the need to chat. You can if you want, but it\u2019s also totally fine to lay there in relaxing silence, close your eyes, and just enjoy the experience. In fact, falling asleep is common, and your therapist won\u2019t be offended at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. What about bodily functions? <\/b>It\u2019s not uncommon to pass gas during a massage. You\u2019re super relaxed after all, and sometimes it just happens. Even though you\u2019ll probably be embarrassed if it happens, no need to be, and the therapist will ignore it. <\/span><\/p>\n

While your therapist won\u2019t mind a few toots, they understandably don\u2019t want a gas bomb going off in the typically small massage room. So if you\u2019ve got a lot of gas or need to use the bathroom, it\u2019s okay to pause the session and visit the restroom. Same thing goes for needing to pee, or simply blow your nose. It\u2019s okay to call a timeout.<\/span><\/p>\n

While not common, some men do get an erection during a massage. It\u2019s nothing to be embarrassed about (again though, you probably will be). Know that it does happen, and that your therapist will just ignore it. I had read about this before I got my first massage, and was so scared of it happening that there was no way it was going to happen. <\/span><\/p>\n

7. Don\u2019t ask about sexual favors (or even joke about them).<\/b> Duh. Just don\u2019t do it and don\u2019t even make a passing joke about it. At best, you\u2019ll offend your therapist; at worst, you\u2019ll be kicked out, and for good. <\/span><\/p>\n

8. Leave a tip. <\/b>It\u2019s pretty much expected to tip 15-20% these days. You can give your therapist cash directly (or leave it at the front desk), or you typically have the option to add it on to your credit card bill. If you\u2019re using a gift certificate, bring some cash to use for your tip, unless it’s indicated that the tip has been covered as well.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
