strange massage

This is not a stealth boast and is meant to be fairly light hearted, before I'm shot down in flames. On holiday at the mo. Thought I'd book myself a massage. Had massage this morning - was quite good and being massaged by hot Spanish man made it all the better. However once I opened my eyes after the hour, I saw he'd been massaging me wearing blue disposable gloves(!) I thought it sounded a bit strange at times. I'm no supermodel but am size 10 fairly well presented lady. AIBU to be offended he massaged me in gloves??!

I'm a massage therapist

He's probably got an infectious skin condition or allergic to some products.

Maybe it's an EU policy (political glovedness gorn mad) which will spread to the UK and ruin our massages if we vote to stay in! Is this an issue for Brexit? Grin

Here's my masseuse and the pole he uses to massage me with. I can't work out if it's my size or because I'm over 30. Confused

I'm 😂 at this thread!

Shouldn't the guy have let you know he was using gloves? What if you were allergic to latex or something and woke up after your massage covered in hives. Shock

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 08/04/2016 14:40

"and being massaged by hot Spanish woman made it all the better."

AIBU For being jealous about hubbys massage?

I had this once. It was like being rubbed with plastic bags. I was too polite to say it felt bad and endured it for a full hour. Massage and gloves are a big no, I think.

ShowOfHands · 08/04/2016 14:45

I'm a size 8. My masseuse wears one glove and a nose peg.

Only joking. I'd never get a massage. Unless they've changed it and it isn't a stranger rubbing you.

SurroMummy13 · 08/04/2016 14:45

It's probably due to health and safety.

RudeElf · 08/04/2016 14:47

show just one glove? What type of massage was it exactly? They brian from hull kind? Wink

NeedACleverNN · 08/04/2016 14:50

That's alright

I had a massage one

She sat the other side of the room and told me to imagine she was doing it.

ScrambledSmegs · 08/04/2016 14:50

How did it sound strange? Was it squeaky?

BolshierAryaStark · 08/04/2016 14:51

CosyNook still don't get why her being a size 10 would make her more pleasant to touch than say a size 18? Does one become repulsive to touch as they get bigger? I think not Hmm
Rude has it, definitely didn't want to catch the smug...

Dotheskankyleg · 08/04/2016 14:52

Just one glove? did you look to see if it was Michael Jackson Grin

ExpandingRoundTheMiddle · 08/04/2016 15:01

Or what was happening with the ungloved hand Shock

NeedACleverNN · 08/04/2016 15:03

Or what was happening with the ungloved hand shock

Where do you think the cream came from? Wink

CosyNook · 08/04/2016 15:04

Did he look like this

ExpandingRoundTheMiddle · 08/04/2016 15:04

Oh dear lord....

BitOutOfPractice · 08/04/2016 15:05

This is a completely different scenario from the one I expected from the title. Were you expecting a massage or a Wink massage OP?
