Do you and OH massage each other?

[FedUpMumof10YO]

Just interested to see if you do this for each other on a regular basis?

If so, is it because they are in pain through injury, chronic illness or just because it's nice?

On average, how long do you spend?

Do you expect it from the other one or do they do unprompted?

Yes, infrequently and on request. Sometimes for therapeutic purposes, sometimes as a prelude to naughtiness. About 10-15 mins max, it's hard physical work and neither of us is a professional masseuse.

I’ve had relationships where we do and those we don't.

Some always had to lead to 'happy endings' but others just for the feel good factor. Rarely for a sore neck but never for illness (only because lucky enough not to need it).

My preference has always been to do it for each other without sex in mind

Yes, chronic illness me and DH shit posture. He is such a baby though and doesn’t let me actually work out any knots. So I get many more massages than he does because he can’t take it 😄 only thing is once he’s massaged me, his hands need a massage 😄

About half an hour to an hour if both do it for each other, if a foot massage while watching tv together or maybe back rub through clothes rather than massage

Yes we do but I like being tickled more than massaged. He does me more than I do him.

Mine does. He does my calves and feet after I've been running!

Yes, but dh is the type that wants it to lead to that ending, so I decline.

I need them though as my calves get tight from running and the physio has suggested I get them more often!

No, never.

DH doesn't like back or foot massages. I do though, so get them most nights for around 30mins. I have plantar fasciitis and the back massage is purely relaxing.

He gets many BJs to make up for it.

yes sometimes, although I know my boyfriend would want one every day if he could! have started using a massage candle oil which is a bit sexy - didn't know they existed until recently lol. anyone else used a massage candle before? i'm trying this one

No, I hate being massaged, I don't find is sensual or enjoyable in the least.

No we don't. I much prefer a back scratch!

No, I massage like Monica Gellar.

Mainly things like this, so every night I strip off my top and bra and lie half on half off the bed and Dh scratches my back, nothing sensual about it, just very satisfying. I scratch his head and his back and arms too. I massage his feet but usually foot cream because his feet have rough skin, I will also do his calves. Dh also massages my feet. Either of us can request it from the other and it is freely given. Never as a sensual massage sort of thing.

Yes, probably at least once a week - feet, shoulders, back, neck etc. It can sometimes lead to sex but not necessarily. Just nice to relax or to drift off to sleep afterwards if it's in bed at night.

My DH rubs my back everynight when we go to bed, it helps me fall asleep. Frequently rubs my feet and legs when we are sitting on the sofa. I give him a back scratch every now and then.

We often lie in bed scratching each other’s backs, have done for years. He tells me to ask for massages more often as we both intend to and often forget! A bit of both, therapeutic/pain relief and just nice and relaxing. No other connotations expected or implied, we have sex whenever, it’s not connected. Apparently he is unusual in my friend circle, not here by the looks of it!

My DH massages me, I don't massage him. Best case scenario. Also foot rubs are an evening requirement as he is well aware 😆

On occasion when asked usually due to pain. About 10 minutes though he's a lot better than me as it hurts my thumbs!
