How often?

[Green Man]

How often do you give your significant other a one-hour massage? half-hour?

 

[Marlee]

Whenever my hubby asks for it...which is hardly ever (we talk and joke about this all the time). Once a month maybe. Usually an hour...specific upper body work mostly. He sits in front of a computer for a good part of the day, and really needs massage more often than he asks for it. I refuse to nag though, just let him come to me when he's ready (crying out in pain, lol). He enjoys it and normally falls asleep but at the same time he doesn't want to seem like he's taking advaneforum.xxxe. He also gets regular chiropractic care, so that helps tremendously. If he asked more often, he'd get worked on more often...he knows how I feel about it. When he does ask, I moan and groan...just kidding...when he does ask, I'm honored to work on him. Although, he likes to tell everyone that I never work on him. He's a keeper : .

Great question.

My chair lives in my living room, so he gets in it pretty often. I work on his shoulders almost every morning, his hands and arms nearly every night. I get him on the table once or twice a month.

about once a week...I do hubby, the kids and the folks...usually a few friends too...

Wow, thanks everyone.

and wow

...when he does ask, I'm honored to work on him. Although, he likes to tell everyone that I never work on him. He's a keeper : .

Great question.

Sounds like YOU'RE a keeper

Pearl, will you marry me?

Wahoo! Great to see you back barefoot!

I'd work on hubby weekly if he'd let me, but, he isn't so into massage. And he's a therapist! :shock: But, he loves acupuncture.... I can't do THAT though!

Wifey gets it once a week, sometimes more if she's really tense. She does graphic design and is at the comp all day, so her neck and shoulders get pretty cranked up.

It's all part of the deal we worked out while I'm in school; significant outlay of cash and cut in income in exchange for....Unlimited massage!! It works out well for both of us.

My hubby can get a massage whenever he asks.
He doesn't like to ask and sometimes when he is really hurt I have to BEG HIM to let me work on him. :

I would say he gets worked on about 1-2 times a month, but mostly spot work. Full massages only every few months.

He says that he doesn't want to take advaneforum.xxxe of me.

I try to give him once a week.

My hubbys says "he doesn't like to be rubbed" LOL When he recieved his first hot stone massage from me he sang a different tune. So, whenever I do work on him all I hear is moans and groans of oooooo and ahhhhh. I work on him whenever he asks but it's never a full hour or even 1/2 hour. We have a 3 and 4 year old. So, it's just not gonna happen unless they are at GrandMa's.

My daughter, 4, is always asking for massage and I work on her whenever she asks or as soon as possible after her request. I keep trying to explain to her I can't work on her in the car, kids!

Steph!

As far as getting the table out and doing a full body, my wife is only after that about once every two months. When it comes to groaning and pointing at a single area like a shoulder, low back, thigh, or foot and basking for twenty minutes, that is a near nightly occurrence.

My GF usually asks me to massage her back and/or legs for "a few minutes" once a week or so. "A few minutes" usually turns into 30 min to an hour. I specifically do not make overtures toward sex during or even after the massage. But I wouldn't tell her no if she asked Seriously... when I'm done with her she is so relaxed... it's a wonderful feeling to give that to someone...

My SO gets frequent spot massages, almost daily. She needs more frequent full body work than she gets at the moment, I try for at least once a month. She is riddled with TPs, so massage is not an easy process. She used to say "ow" alot, even when I wasn't using much pressure. Now we use a pain scale so I know how deep to go and where to concentrate more. Its gotten much easier.

okay, everyone has made me feel soooo guilty..my husband gets massages on birthdays, valentines day, anniversary's..etc.. when I am home i rarely want to drag out my table and give a massage..for some reason I feel more energetic giving a massage at the shop then at my home!?! maybe thats psychological...I mean, yes, I will massage his neck and shoulders and feet etc...whenever..but as far as setting up my table etc..i am ashamed to say it does not get set up too very often.. I think after reading all of your posts, I will try a little harder and put forth a little more effort...who knew? :roll:
