couples massage
Couples massage
is one of the hottest services at the spa right now. Two people are massaged in
the same room, at the same time, by two different therapists. It can be a
husband and wife, girlfriend and boyfriend, same-sex partners, or even moms and
daughters sometimes or best friends.
What Happens During
Couples Massage?
Couples massage is a massage that takes place in a couple’s
suite. At the very least this is a room large enough for two massage tables.
Some spas, especially big resort and hotel spas have elaborate amenities for
couples with fireplaces, pedicure chairs, steam showers and lounging beds where
you can relax together after your treatments. See the couple’s suite at The Spa
at Mohonk Mountain House in upstate New York. Some romantic spas, like Alvadora
Spa at The Royal Palms in Phoenix, have three different couples’s suites to
accommodate the demand.
As for couples massage etiquette, it's fine to talk to each
other through the massage if you want, or be quiet the whole time. It's really
up to you.
What Are the Benefits
of Couples Massage?
Couples massage is a great way to introduce a partner who
has never gotten a massage before in a way that makes them feel more
comfortable the first time. Some men are apprehensive about getting a massage
because of the nudity involved, and to have their wife or girlfriend there is
reassuring.
Men usually discover that therapeutic touch is very relaxing
and restorative. Once they experience a couple’s massage, they are more willing
to book a massage on their own.
It can also be a good choice if you're traveling with
someone you don't get to see often enough -- a sister, girlfriend, mom or best
friends -- and you want to spend as much time together as possible.
Is There Any Downside
To Couples Massage?
Some experienced spa-goers find it distracting to be in the
same room at the same time with anyone else during a massage. They prefer to
get their massage alone and then meet up afterwards.
The potential problems come if you have different
expectations and needs during a massage, particularly if one person wants to
zone out and the other likes to talk.
It helps if you know how much the other person likes to talk
during a massage -- a lot, a little, or not at all -- and whether it's a good
match for you.
