I like it hard and deep, just as most of you do, or should.
Why spend so much for anything less? When you pay $1.50 per minute or more, tip extra, for such sensuality and relief, it should be memorable, right? I think so.
Yes, I’m a true believer in massage therapy. As a retired disabled veteran, I can’t afford it often. But once a month or so, I visit Jo, my therapist, to be beaten on like a slab of aging beef. Think Rocky Balboa without the breakage. Jo’s an artist of flesh.
There’s archaeological evidence of massage in many ancient civilizations, including China, India, Japan, Egypt, Rome and Mesopotamia. In the Middle Ages, Avicenna, the Persian medic, excelled in the logical assessment of conditions and symptoms, and spotlighted pain relief, including massage.
Massage therapy became popular in the U.S. in mid-19th century. American athletes helped popularize it in the 1970s, and by 2024 it’s estimated massage therapy is a $20 billion global industry, $12.5 billion in the U.S. alone.
And if I don’t have bruises afterward, I’m disappointed.
