Does your DH/DP give you a massage?

[TheHouseOnBellSt]

Mine doesn't. Hardly ever and I might be a bit of a hypocrite here because I'm not exactly falling over myself to offer him one either but I think it's because even if I did, it would be all take, take, take.

I need more rubs! Dammit! No money for professional treatments.

Mine offers me one most days (he's a gentle, loving soul) unfortunately for me, he's like a ham fisted truckasaurus, the man doesn't know his own strength! He's strong as an ox and I bruise like a peach, not a good combination! Plus I'm not overly keen. He had a go at a sensual, slow rub down once, he sat on me and nearly winded me, followed up with what felt like an audience with Hulk Hogan. Love him, he's a trier though! He's an 18 stone bodybuilder and will sit and brush my hair for hours!

I'll give him one every once in a while when he's been training hard and his back/shoulder muscles are tight, my hands end up sore and the whole house ends up smelling like mentholayed liniment! (He's literally just asked me to rub his neck! Ha)

Lovely BF massages me every time we're together. It's blissful, he has great hands.

XDH would never massage me other than an occasional disinterested squeeze or two of my shoulders if I begged him to. He also never liked being massaged himself so I assume couldn't see the point of it.

Yep, mine does, he's great at them. He massaged my back through a lot of my labour with DD as well, I had wee bruised by the end. His hands must have been knackered!
