I recently started school for massage therapy and I’ve heard a few men say thing such as, "I would NOT want MY girlfriend being a massage therapist" i just don’t get it haha. Must be an insecurity thing?

There was a warning on one today when I went to the mall, and I thought it was very odd. I can understand pregnant women and people with disabilities not being advised to use one, but "menstruating women" ?

I wish I did — then I’d be living in the most beautiful album I’ve heard in a long time. Wrap your fleshy, meaty, pink mind around that one, b*tches!

Payback Time

When You Were Doing Cocaine

Seriously, this is like therapeutic massage sessions or medicinal marijuana for your EARS. I love it.

Thoughts (on either the music or my incoherent ramblings)?

BQ: Recent discoveries?
BQ2: Favorite "calming" album?
Btw, I couldn’t find my personal favorite track off the album on YouTube. If you get the chance, try and download/listen to the song "Backroom Deals" — it’ll be worth it.

Don’t get me wrong; I want a professional massage, and none of that happy ending sexual stuff. My girlfreind gives great sexual service to me, so it is not sex that I’m looking for. I just want a quality massage from a trained professional

But my massage therapist must atleast look like a human being. I don’t want to be given a massage by spotty creature with rashes all over her face from planet I don’t know where. How the hell am I supposed to relax when this alien has her hands all over me. I can’t use the "I’m not feeling well today excuse" because she is already in my house right now, and I’m typing this question from my room while getting ready for the "relaxing" massage.

My plan is to tell her straight to her face that she is ugly and I don’t want a monster giving me a massage. Then I’ll tell the monster to get out of my house and don’t waste my time again. But are there any better and nicer ways to get rid of the creature from hell?

I am 5’3" and my table is 29" wide. Is that even ergonomically practical for someone of my height?

Do you think it was purchased for a discount because it was reversed from the usual " First Come , First Served"?
I did not notice it myself– my wife seemed to pick up on it while driving by. She thought it was strange

I am wondering if anyone has had any trouble with this I think just from researching this is my problem. Can anyone give me their symptoms and how they either got it fixed or do you just deal with it.

My symptoms:
*Can only sleep on my right side at night with a pillow between my knees and one propping up my chest in fetal position. This is the most comfortable way but not pain free. If I sleep any other way I will be so stiff when I wake up it is almost impossible to get out of be very painful almost to the point of tears.
*Pain down buttocks on right side and through thigh. Kinda like sciatic nerve pain hurts to walk may last for a minute or hours.
*Pain in mid and lower back daily but mostly just annoying not really bad painful. Most of the time feels like stiffness.
*Sometimes alot of lower abdominal soreness.
*Pain and stiffness at very lower back right above the buttocks but on either side of the spine not on the spine.
*Cannot lie on the floor on my back or stomach too painful. If I try I have to try to pull myself up on something to get up.

I am not obese or overweight. 5"7 157lbs. No accidents or injuries to my back this has gradually gotten worse over the years I need to see a doctor I agree but if I can fix it at home that would be great. Also, it has not gotten to the point that it stops me from doing things.
Almost forgot my hips also get sore and stiff as well.

My wife and I went to a sandals for our honeymoon and the only part we enjoyed was the massages and relaxing in the pool. We are looking for an "all-inclusive" spa/resort in the USA where part of the all-inclusive includes a daily massage or treatment of some sort so we arn’t shelling out a few hundred a day on massages. Also daily meals and drinks would also be included. Do places like this exist? If so please help me find them.

Do you feel that there is a difference?
And have you ever heard the term "myomassologist"?

Ok so im thinking about taking an 8 month massage therapy course at a local career college (I live in FL). From what i understand, this school provides its students with certificates. Im not planning on making this my career, i just thought it would be a good idea to have a skill like this on the side while i get through college. But even though this is a side thing, i still want to be able to find a good job….its a pretty big investment of time and money to get through this program and i will be making a lot of sacrifices trying to balance regular college, massage therapy training and a job.

So my question is: Is there a real difference between the two? Is a certified MT less likely to be hired than a licensed MT? Can i go through this course and be able to do well on the exam that will allow me to practice massage therapy? Or does none of this matter as long as I pass the exam and by doing so i am automatically licensed??

basically i need someone to explain this whole "certified vs licensed" thing to me…..THANKS I’d greatly appreciate any help or advice i can get

im a licensed massage therapist and this is a discussion im having with a colleague.. we have found tons of answers about "charging a fee" but none about "for tips" or "donations" we know its all "un-ethical" but are discussing what exactly is ‘illegal’.. i cant believe i cant find this info anywhere.. thanks for your info

We have come up with a possible solution.

1) Go to school and pick up a new trade (maybe a 1 year cosmotology or massage therapy program??)
2) Attend functions and parties with other people in your field (I crashed a party that a dental student was having for her class…met a lot of professionals)
3) Go out on dates with people you meet at functions…*even if the person is not someone you see yourself dating, still go out with them and have a good time* (no intimacy until after you finish school…avoid kissing)

We figure that while you are bettering yourself and working on YOU, men that you are networking with will have a chance to see you from a professional point of view first (building respect), then have a peek from a romantic point of view (hince the sexless dates). If you wait till after graduation, you would have had these connections that have been tested by time and patience. Picking up a trade for a hobby is possible for anyone and its faster and cheaper than people think, especially with financial aid.

What do you think??? Of course its not FOOL PROOF, but aint it better than meeting people at the club and and hoping they see you as more than a peice of meat?

What has worked for you??? Come on ladies, lets band together and find the answer!!!
Thanks! But those are STEPS!!! you have to do all three!
Why was that "overboard"? did you read my steps…
it simply says to add value to our lives and to go out and meet new platonic friends for a year…

Ok, I’m a guy and I’m 14… I absolutely love women…. It often comes to me that it would be exciting to kiss a guy… I’ve tried watching gay porn,I got an erection… I also engage in regular and anal masturbation… Oh, and I’m also muslim… The muslim law is that Masturbation in forbidden and that if people find out you are a homosexual, the punishment, according to the Islamic law… You are thrown off a high hill or mountain… then you are stoned to death… And before the thought of bisexuality came to me, I would say to myself: "Hey he looks pretty handsome" (in a non-gay way) I’ve fantasized about sex with guys before… and It seems pretty fun for some reason or the other… and I really want to kiss a guy just to see if I really am Bi but it’s a sin in islam to kiss a girl that is not your relative before marriage and and to kiss a guy a guy on the lips, I also sometimes a get an erection just playing gay with on of my best friends… (I’ve massaged his butt, tried putting my hand near his crotch), But I look at girls like all the time but I don’t go around looking at guys as much as girls , I’d say a 7:1 Ratio I’ve never really like a guy before… My parents really hate Homosexuals… So like every time I’m around my parents, I don’t think that I could be because…. They’ll kill me… They told me that only gay people wear skinny jeans…I wear skinny jeans, that’s why…. And if I may be Bi, I would only be able to tell me non-muslim friends because I know they’ll accept it… I asked one of my muslim friends how would he react if I was gay, he told me he’ll hate me…and like every night when I’m in bed I fill up with pain and rage and I feel like breaking something… Please help me!
