Embarrassing Massage Question

[skyhawk]

OK - I'm sure I've gotten your attention, and believe me, this is a legitimate question here.

I've never had a massage (land or sea). And while I am not a gorilla, I do have some hair on my back (jeez, can't believe I'm telling everyone this). Is that a problem with the oils and stuff they use?

Not a problem, they're trained to deal with all types of body / body hair and you'll have a lovely relaxing massage, enjoy, and if you're really paranoid you could always get it waxed.

Dh is extremely hairy....he'll kill me for writing that! He wanted a massage for the longest time but was always too embarrassed. On our last cruise, I signed him up for one, since the appointment was so close to the sign up time, if he didn't go he would still have to pay for it. He LOVED it. He's already planning on making his own appointment on our next cruise. He said the woman was very professional and didn't even look twice at him. She made him feel real comfortable.....and not in THAT way LOL

If you want to try it, do it on the cruise.

not a problem at all. you will love it. they will just work the oil into you and your hair will not get in the way at all.

This post has me cracking up. My DH is pretty hairy also and I really had to push him to join me in the REAS package. I should show him this post..lol.

My hubby is hairy too! He does fine with the massage. He does tell the massuese to use a lighter touch in certain areas.

His biggest problem with the massage is that he sometimes talks too much!!!

Ask them to shave it off!

Bring a razor and shaving cream, just to see the expression on their face. What if they say yes?

Sorry for the visual. "Back" to our regularly scheduled programming.

I think the term for men getting back hair waxed:
"manscaping".

I offered to wax hubby's back and he just refuses!!! Yeesh, what we WOMEN do to be smooth..the PAIN we endure!!!

Here I thought this was going to be a getting naked question.

Dh is on the hairy side, getting hairier by the week. He had no problems w/ his massage last time. However-- he was wondering if people are supposed to take their clothes off, or stay in their bathing suits which is what we did, being big American prudes and all...

Dude, you don't want to do it yourself. Let someone else have the pleasure of doing it for you. They have places like dayspas or salons and they will do it. I may go for the hair I do have back there before the next cruise in January.

I can't even believe I'm reading this never mind responding to it .

I'm no gorilla but like alot of men, I do have backhair. I absolutely HATE it! My wife said she'd wax it for me..."it won't hurt" she said !!

Well, after that experience, she bought some Nair product that you literally rub on and 5 minutes later, wash off. PAINLESS!! The downside is you have to do it monthly but it's well worth it.
