I had one of those deep tissue massages yesterday and now I hurt. Blah. I'll have to make another appointment soon and get one of those massages that don't hurt the next day.

Ever had pleasure hurt so much?

AW. A very nice place!
I'm often stung by pleasure,
e.g. when walking down a blvd, spotting a fancy diner, thinking about how delightful it would be to chow down there...if only I had the loot :(

Next time, take an ibuprofen or something first. It'll help. :D

The only professional massage I had wasn't painful enough. De-stressed me, but little else.

I made the same mistake, and suffered for days. Never again. I haven't even wanted a regular massage since that experience.

Cheering you all on!
You guys know you can tell them if the pressure is too much, right?

Also drink lots of water afterwards. It will help.

C'mon baby, make it hurt so good.... :)


I generally just get a Swedish with trigger points somewhere in the middle, so there's nice-feeling stuff before and after. Relaxes and undoes at least a few of the knots. I bruise too easily for deep-tissue. Massage therapists actually do appreciate it if you tell them what you want and when the pressure is too much. They have to guess otherwise.

And I second the water.

I've had pleasure lead to pain five times, and the pain lasted *much* longer than the pleasure (at least there was a 9mo delay).
