Change those Frickin' drapes!
Nah, for real...never had the suction, but a real massage is no joke. Enjoy, and beforewarned- you may be SORE tomorrow.
i guess its called "cupping"
its totally painless. something about Qi!!!
i am fine though guys. dont send me records as get well gifts yet.....
is that your aunts room?
nice hickeys
When done correctly (no bruises-related), a professional massage can be absolutely wonderful. The best one I had was at the Mauna Lani Bay in Hawaii. I should get one soon since I've been working really hard lately.

Yes, you can.
Cupping is not part of a normal massage though. What kind of massage did you get in addition to the cupping? Shiatsu? Thai?
I thought you maybe just passed out on a large pepperoni pizza.
there was some pain but it was almost an awesome pain. the cupping has sort of a sunburn pain while its being done. but totally painless afterwords.
the whole experience was next level.
Nevermind. Need to clean my screen.
she just did the cupping in addition to the massage. im not sure what kind of massage it was. i have been getting these back pains sort of like a pulled muscle. and ive never had a "real" massage.
having your girl rub your back doesnt count haha
this was about an hour and focused primarily on my upper back and neck and then chest and under arms...
some of the pressure was WOWWW
ill take the drapes down now
that looks like the worst sunburn ever.
Damn, I think you're enjoying his half-nakedness waaaaay too much.
where grown men criticize your drapes.
hah
OH FUCK! THAT is what you call an unrecoverable snap.
Well played sir. Well played. Although, I have to say that I really think you should be more concerned by the anti-drape folks.
One time she was doing an acupuncture treatment on my shoulder and when she went to leave the room for the half hour or forty five minutes I told her I was cold, so she grabbed a blanket and wrapped me up a bit. Ok, now I'm comfortable. Ever get an acupuncture treatment? It makes me fart, something to do with the Qi moving around and bad energy leaving the body or something like that. Plus, you can't really move with all the needles in you so you just have to lay there instead of jumping up and flapping the smell out of the room with a pillow. So after a little while I'm wrapped up in this blanket and let a couple out, and now it's getting to the point where she should be coming back into the room. So I let out the biggest one of all, and sure enough I hear her coming up the steps. Damn. She came in the room, I'm laughing a bit, she says something like "oh no, you were farting weren't you" then takes the blanket off and gets smacked over the head with the heaviest dutch oven in creation. Poor thing.
I get a massage every payday. I got hooked back in 2000, and since then, I've been getting them on the semi-regular (those several stretches of unemployment meant ixnaying on the assagemays). They definitely help quite a bit. I used to walk around with a perma-shrug without even realizing it; now, my shoulders are actually down where they're supposed to be. And I don't stoop over as much as I used to, either.
I thought only superstitious asian parents did that "cupping" shit when they're kids are sick. Nice to know it's a legitimate massage technique now.
I'm probably splitting hairs here but I don't think it's really a "massage technique." More like a form of Eastern medicine one can get while also getting a massage. Cupping is still fairly unconventional outside of Chinese medicine; it's not like your average massage therapist would ever be trained in it.
