A couples massage is a shared experience designed for two people where each person involved receives a relaxing massage from a therapist. The massages are provided at the same time, in the same private room, but in different massage beds (one per person).
The massage therapists start both massages at the same time and coordinate the treatment for the couple to ensure both parties get the same shared experience. The ambiance tends to be relaxing, dark, and calm in order to make the most out of the experience.
1. You’re trying something new. Even though trying new things might be scary, doing it with someone you love (be it a partner, friend, or family member), can make you feel braver. After all, you’re doing it together!
2. It lowers stress and anxiety levels. Who isn’t relaxed after a massage?
3. It encourages intimacy. Couples massages imply having a private room all to yourselves. And given the state of vulnerability both of you are in (being partially uncovered while being massaged) is an amazing way to create a bond and encourage intimacy. Whether it’s your best friend or the love of your life, you will have something to talk about when you walk out the door.
4. It’s quality time together! It provides a chance for both parties to spend time together without having to worry about making conversation or dealing with problems. It’s, quite literally, time together that both get to spend completely relaxed.
