Why is "couples massage" appealing?
At some other companies, you can get your massages together in the same room.
I do not understand the appeal at all. If I'm receiving a massage, I want it to be all about ME. I don't want to think about anyone else. If there's someone else receiving a massage in the same room, that will interfere with ME.
Please help me out here.

Years ago when my hub & I were getting massages regularly...we tried it both ways. In all honesty, I found that a massage does more for me when it's one on one & all about ME and my trigger points. (Whoa this sounds sexy)
The best type of massage I've had was Shiutsu in Sausalito Ca. and it made me feel so healthy, strong and enlightened. I was totally blown away! I had that one from a very talented Chines lady, 1 on 1. The only time we did couples at the same Spa, it was distracting and just not as intensely healing as I wanted given the setting and professionals on board.
There is so much to gain from body work! And there are many talented people out there that can help people find healing in this way. I never felt compromised and I suggest more people try massage. As for couples using massage...it's a great way to bond and help eachother feel happier, healthier and close. IMHO the couple part is best at home or in a cozy hotel room awayfrom all distraction... together 1 on 1!
