FH an I did that once... and we didn't like it. You are just both getting massages in the same room... It didn't make any difference if we were in the same room or in different rooms.
Whenever we get massages now we get them separately.
we did it once but it wasnt his thing... i dont hink we will do it again because he didnt like it... he preffer me giving him the massage... but this is my experience... i know other couples who love it
my fi surprised me with one today! we both loved it! yes, it was just us getting a massage seperately, in the same room, but good lord we both needed a massage with the wedding two weeks away! so it was nice to get one, and to know that he was right there, having a nice relaxing time too. so i'm all for it!
We have gotten couples massages twice and think it's not that great. Kind of awkward actually, bc I feel like your masseuse doesn't want to ask you questions "Is this the right pressure? How's your temperature?" etc.
Massages, in general, super thumbs up. (Make sure to let them know your pressure preference, etc. and you'll feel great for literally days!) Couples, meh. We'll do it separately from now on.
We've gotten a couples massage before and they're just ok. Personally, I love massages and I get them regularly (I have lots of problems/pain in my neck/shoulder area) but you definitely have to let the masseuse know what type of pressure you like. FI has only gotten the one massage and I keep telling him he should go in again but he wants to do another couples massage and I don't really think I want to do that again.
I always have lower back and shoulder pain and the hubby told me we should go do it, but for some reason the thought of a stranger rubbing on me just freaks me out. One of his cousins swears by massages, but hers is just one opinion, so it's nice to hear thoughts from all of you!
I prefer to have FI do it and I reciprocate of course, but there's only one place I'd even consider getting a massage done professionally and that's the resort downtown, but I think for the price I'd rather just have a good dinner for the two of us.
I'm scared to get one - I'm afraid I won't want to speak up and sound like a wuss!
R has gotten them before, and says they're okay but doesn't love them. I really prefer when he gives me massages because I have no problem saying higher, lower, more pressure, etc. Plus, it's nice. :)
My FI and I give each other massages all the time, but it is nothing like a professional massage. We did a couples one once and it was nice. In the same room gettting a massage at the same time. We talked a little bit, but for the most part just enjoyed. I LOVE the warm blankets you lie under, I wish I had one at home. I would sleep naked under them all the time (ok, not really,but I would think about it)
I've gone for massages many times and made him do it with me last year at a resort in mexico... he absolutely fell in love with it and we went for 2 more that week!! my mom got us gift certificates to go for xmas this year and we did separate things at the spa... he LOVES the hot stone therapy massages.. (i do too but i sometimes like to switch it up with something with a little more pressure...)
We've done it before and while the massage itself was lovely, I don't feel like it was a couples' romantic bonding experience or anything, since we were both facedown on separate tables.
I LOVE getting couples' massages with my husband. First of all, professional massages in general are pure heaven. Second of all, if you go to a nice place, they will often give you some alone time to relax together before and after the massages. There is a resort in our town we've gone to a few times, and their massage rooms have private balconies, so we can sit together before and after and just enjoy the relaxation. It is really awesome. :)
i haven't gotten a couple's massage but i love the regular massages! i had the same hang up about a stranger rubbing me down but honestly, i didn't even care once the massuse started because it just felt great. i figure since she's a pro, there hasn't been something she hasn't seen yet.
plus, you don't have to worry about the other person getting tired of massaging you. lol.
i asked my guy if he'd ever get one but he says he'd just prefer one from me.
we've done it 2x (plus one time where we just had apptmts @ the same time) I liked having it in the same room, but it's not that much better!
We did this for our honeymoon and then again for Valentines Day. He LOVES them, I'm not very comfortable with them. I think it's more a problem that I just can't relax. I'm too worried about being in the right position and then flipping over and all the questions they ask.
I've never understood couples massages, so we've never done it. We always just go separately. I mean, it's basically the same thing, but you're in the same room. I like massages because it gives me time to myself without pressure to chat, talk or think with anyone. I kind of like that I'm alone with just the massage therapist.
Once, on our wedding day. I'd recommend! But we wouldn't normally get one together - it was a special occasion.
I just had to comment, as I'm a massage therapist, for 6 years now. I find a lot of couples like the 'idea' of a doubles massage, especially for those who are first timers and are nervous. But really, most people don't talk to each other anyway, so its kind of a waste. Massage is a fantastic way to reduce stress, especially during wedding planning time. Make sure you speak up and let your therspist know about pressure, etc. Don't be afraid to. Its our job, we are there specifically to make sure you feel good. And don't be nervous about body image. I know a lot of people are. Trust me! We see all kinds of people, and to us, they all look the same!!! And don't feel pressured to make small talk. We are used to people saying nothing, or people talking the whole time. A good therapist should be able to read what your into. So, good luck, and enjoy!!!

Have you ever gotten a couples massage before? Or even just a massage for yourself? What was it like? Did you enjoy it and would you do it again?
