Is there such a thing as a non sexual back or foot rub?

[Micko]

Providing you are not a masseuse, hooker or a podiatrist of course.

[Quark]

According to Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction, yes…Yes there is.

[Amerijuanican]

Yes

[Jessica]

Apparently yes, and I believe to most people it is a genuine yes, but personally I'd feel really uncomfortable about getting either of those things from someone I'm not interested in having sex with.

I got a full body massage from a professional a couple years ago and even that felt a bit too intimate lol. Not an experience I want to repeat with a professional or with anyone who isn't my sexual partner

[Undies]

So a hooker gives non sexual massages?

[Micko]

Sometimes

[OP1]

Massages can certainly be non-sexual, even if offered by a non-professional, but sharing a non-professional massage implies a high level of familiarity. Sometimes a "friendly" massage might be used as a method to try to lead into sexual contact.

The endorphin rush is slightly orgasm adjacent I suppose, but it’s more similar to getting your hair shampooed at the barber. Both cases I like em to go hard.

I’m not letting some stranger massage my feet though.

[OP1]

I think barbers sometimes insist on washing someone's hair before cutting it just to squeeze a few more bucks out of them. Assuming the person getting the cut has washed their hair in the last 4 hours or so.

[Meliai]

Anytime I get my hair cut I go with some oily, 5 day old unwashed hair lol. If I'm paying for a shampoo anyways

I really like getting my hair washed and cut sometimes. Gives me ASMR as long as the hairstylist has a relaxing personality

They often don't have relaxing personalities though. The small talk can be fucking tedious sometimes

When I pulled muscles in my back and shoulder, I’ve gotten massage therapy for treatment that wasn’t sexual.

I once had a male therapist work on my back, and a female therapist work on my shoulder. (Different times and incidents). I’ll admit I was slightly turned on when the chick therapist worked on me.

Because I have a bad back and pelvis and everything else wrong with my body, I get my wife to massage and stretch my muscles a lot.

I know a lot of the time I make a lot of sexual noises because I love the feeling of the pain while she does it.

For instance my favourite stretch is the most paniful but I lay on my back, one leg up, my wife takes my foot in the air and pushes my toes up (but really down if you're standing) and it gives the top of the foot and toes the biggest stretch and it hurts so much because you're body doesn't naturally stretch those muscles in that way, you have to manipulate that area, and christ.. It can hurt some days and I moan and carry on in agony and then finally when I can't deal with the pain I just burst out laughing which hurts more because I wiggle while I laugh which in turn causes more pressure on that stretch lol.

So yes, it's completely possible for that type of session to be non sexual.

Was the professional a man or a woman? Somehow it seems slightly less weird when its a woman imho

It was a woman. I didn't mind the back massage part as much, I actually thought I was just going in for a back massage but apparently I booked the full body lol. It didn't really feel uncomfortable until she got to my upper thighs. That is ..not a body part many people have touched outside of sexual partners

[Din Djarin]

Lol I just had to think of George Costanza getting a (normal) massage from a man. Of course George had issues (wtf care if it moves you insecure fuck).. :P

Meliai would you have go on with the unexpected full body if the professional would have been a man? (I assume not)

[Meliai]

that's a great episode haha.
Nah when I booked I was able to choose the masseuse and I specifically chose a woman. There was a male masseuse who was arrested here a while back for sexually assaulting his clients. I'm sure that's rare, and maybe not fair to pin that on all male masseuses but all the same, not something i'm comfortable with.
