AIBU to not want a massage from DP's friend?

[PsychedelicSheep]

DP has kindly paid for his friend to give me a massage, he is properly trained but doesn't practice professionally, it would be at my home. The thing is I don't think I want it from him and would prefer someone I didn't know and wouldn't have to see again. I'm not sure that I'm gonna feel very relaxed and it might be something I endure rather than enjoy which kind of defeats the point of a massage? At the same time I don't want to appear rude to him or ungrateful to DP 😕

Ive met the guy and he seems like a nice enough bloke (if slightly odd in a harmless way) but I'm just not sure I want him massaging me! Because he's DP's friend I feel like I'd be so focused on what I looked/sounded/felt like that it would just be an ordeal!

Am I being weird do you think? Or a rude ungrateful bitch? It's not like me to have hang ups about stuff like this but I'm definitely really feeling like I don't want this massage from him. Would you feel uncomfortable in this situation do you think??

is it like a full body one?

reminds me of the Friends episode where monica feels weird letting phoebe massage her in the end she likes it so much she makes sex noises

they are very West Coast (I don't mean Bristol) and don't see it as odd.
it's a bit like Meet the Fockers.
My poor SIL has been really mortified about it in the past.

😄

Well when DP had his he was stark bollock naked so I guess it would be

Ha, yeah I'd be paranoid I'd be making too little noise, or too much noise, or the wrong type of noise! The loop of thoughts in my head throughout would be insufferable!

Your partner let his mate massage him while he was naked?!

eyelevelgrill we are in Bristol! (Is it obvious?)

CockacidalManiac - yep!

He didn't touch his willy though, I asked!

It's just so intimate, I would be tense and rigid as a board throughout the whole thing, just from sheer embarrassment. I am quite an awkward person anyway.

Wasn't there a scene in a comedy, I think it was the Bridesmaids film, when one of the characters accidentally comes during a massage? Now that would be embarrassing .

did he have a towel draped across him at all?

I'd get him to do a head, neck and shoulder massage and have a quiet word with DH.

Naked? What? Should this be in the sex topic, it's getting very weird now. Will your husband be watching and what on earth are you agreeing to?

It sounds like the opening scene for a low budget porn.

How does one accidentally come??

CockacidalManiac - he had a towel yes.

Was it a very small towel or a big towel?
Asking for a friend.

Ewwwwww. Just. Ewwwwwww.

It's not you being wierd - it's your DP.

What the hell is this thread about ?

YANBU! Have you told dp you hate the idea?

i'd be worried about making too little noise or too much noise

I didn't think you were supposed to make any noise during massages? I remain mute but maybe I'm doing it wrong then.

Definitely no to sex noises during massages

YANBU - I would not like it either.

I think it's too intimate, I only go to female massage therapists, but I do go to people I know because I run and swim and a lot of people who do exercise seem to do courses in sports massage - so I have a group of people I can ask when I want to have a massage - and get mates rates. But they are all female.

I don't even like my hair being done by a male hairdresser. I am obviously weird.

Fuck knows, I've only ever had one massage in my life!

I have told him I'm not keen yes. He said it's up to me but it's free so I might as well. Clearly we have very different attitudes to this sort of thing! I told him to tell his friend no offence but I'd feel more comfortable with a stranger thanks all the same!

I should say - I do not lie there naked! I am under a blanket and definitely have knickers on, although they may undo my bra to get to my back. If they are going to concentrate on my back and shoulders I keep my trousers on too.

God, no way would I be comfortable being naked/almost naked and getting a massage from one of DP's friends!

No chance!
