I hate the idea of a couples massage!!

Why does my wife think this is fun or romantic to have other people touching us separately. It doesn't sound relaxing to me at all. She can get a massage by herself or I'll be happy to get one by myself, but why insist on getting them together?!?! AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!

But, I suspect they aren't getting a couple's massage at that kind of establishment.

by towels, it will be a great time to talk lovingly about all the intimate and personal details of your relationship! Don't mind the two total strangers standing over you - they've heard it all before...

I'd even get one with some Fox news maggot in the same room if they didn't speak .My wife when we can afford it go to a "foot" massage place where a room full of strangers get massages listening to woo muzak and I love it.

I'll go in your place . I do agree with you that the woo factor might be severe but hey it's a massage .

lets wait for happy ending jokes

I mean...

I've never done that, but at this place I help out in sometimes(yes, I massage people sometimes when I have time and for fun), what they do is they put the massage tables/beds real close together. This place had those large beds that can act like a large chair, which they can tilt. Two masseurs would come, usually women(since the guy generally would not want another guy touching him or touching his lady). It doesn't really deviate from their regular method, other than being able to change masseurs during the same time. It also allows the masseurs to figure out who is better at what part, and they concentrate on that.

I don't know what that place offers, so think of it as an enriching experience. Though you're right, when getting a massage, I don't want to talk. I just want to doze off.

I was wondering what kind of "message" you would object to....
After getting clear on this, I just thought I'd comment that a massage is supposed to be a great, comforting, relaxing thing. I'd say that if it seems to be neither comfortable or relaxing to you, then your objections should certainly be heard. Maybe you just need a little more time to get used to the idea. (And now I will retreat to my quiet little den and hope you guys hash it out happily.)
