Do you prefer a massage or a cuddle ? Benefits to both I’m sure given circumstances and your need?
If I’m paying …. Massage
ohmygosh the exact same question is on the massagecomfort site /s
Either one for me, as you mentioned both have their respective benefits. I would consult my cuddling partner on their opinion and come to a mutual consensus.
I usually do both and like receiving both.
Both
Yes.
👍 Cuddles with some massage action
👎 A massage with some cuddle action
For me it depends on my primary reason for being with the other person. I mean, if my cuddle partner wants to participate in that sort of thing I'd likely be into it. But if my massage therapist all of a sudden wanted to cuddle, I'd likely want my money back and would be out the door.
Also, @OhioMike 🤣🤣🤣
We do both and separate
@quixotic_life put it well
@quixotic_life I agree with you. 😂
Both!
Can I interest anyone in a massage then cuddling? It'd be nice if there were more people near here to talk and meet up with.
Perfectly happy with both.
I’d take a good cuddle over a massage any day!
I love giving and receiving both. North of Detroit, hmu!
I prefer cuddling because it is rewarding for us both and is mentally and physically relaxing. A massage is more for just me, and when I go it can get slightly painful when they work out those knots since I exercise a lot. So it is not as relaxing to me. Of course, I've always love to give them as well, but I'm just not a pro at it.
100% Massage. Relaxation or Swedish (regardless of a workout), med to light touch. Energy healing feels amazing also. LMTs know how to touch the body yet everyone knows how to cuddle. Both are therapeutic. Massage 💆🏽♀️ hands down!
@quixotic_life absolutely 💯 correct!
Both. Why not? However, not just casually. I’d prefer actual medical/therapeutic trained/based massage for legit arthritis. Then, the cuddle for genuine therapy benefits as well. Friend to friend is great but the real deal makes all the difference.
Why to choose? 😉
I discussed with a cuddler how good massages are, and he somehow thought that meant I was prepared to do a full body massage. I found out that was the main thing he wanted when I told him I my hand was hurting to much to massage him that night.
@EmpressBlaze
Massage 💆🏽♀️ hands down!
I see what you did there.
Lol @Unscented_Lemon 😁
@quixotic_life totally agree a cuddle with some massage action is perfect.
Also, if I’m sore from work or something l take massage. If I’m more mentally sore, I’ll take a cuddle
Cuddling is a shared experience where both are ideally giving and receiving at the same time. But to me, giving a massage is also receiving, though not in quite the same way. I think of it as a meditation. When i'm in the zone, tuned into the reactions of the one I'm massaging. The thing is, cuddling after giving a massage is somewhat difficult, for me anyway. It was an exertion, so my muscles are still humming, i'm a bit sweaty, and I need some time before i'm ready for the different type of sharing that is cuddling.
Well, being here it might not be surprising that it’s cuddles. But I wonder if maybe I’m less interested in massages because everyone I’ve been with is smaller than me, and can’t really massage me. I’m a guy with fairly broad shoulders. But I do give good massages.
My cuddling partner and I are planning to do both next week.
Yet to cuddle but damn a good massage is hard to beat
After having just had a massage by an amateur… I think I may just want to cuddle unless you’re professionally trained if you’re going to actually try and go and get knots out. 😂
Light massaging/caressing is fine, but anything beyond that, let’s leave to the professionals. 🙏🏽
Fair enough.
@CuddlelessinLB you have a good point.
