    I've never heard of taking papaya enzyme. What does that do?

    I have always wanted to get a massage. But I don't like people I don't know touching me.

    get your husband to do it, they actually do short courses on how to give a good massage and if its your husband it doesnt matter if you both end up aroused

    Because sometimes I just want a massage and he has never been able to do that.

    I am pretty familiar with different massage techniques, but not sure what this one is. Is it just a regular massage with aroma therapy? I don't think that is anything special. but if there is something different about this treatment I'd love to know, so I can schedule and appointment.

    Indian head massage is amazingly relaxing ... I don't potentially have "fox mulder like evidence" to back the claim that massage is medically helpful, but in any event it has helped me in stress busting in past, and I continue to use it (self-massage);

    how can anything that reduces stress not be medically helpful?

    It has to be true, I just don't know any med journals or articles or paper work expounding on the same.

    I go every year on my birthday and sometimes at Christmas. It's money well spent.

    Well if people drink hard liquer it reduces stress but it isn't healthy for humans. Taking drugs also reduces stress but also isn't a good thing to do .

    but those are things you're putting into your body. Massages are external. And unlike when you use an external tanning bed, nothing about your body changes. (unless you get the happy ending) Its just a rub down.

    You didn't make that point clear enough to me, sorry, I thought you meant either injesting or inhaling were also included in your "how can anything that reduces stress not be medically helpful?" question.

    They call it "super big finish" here...

    errrr.... I've heard.

    Look, I have a 21 year old boyfriend who is ready for "happy ending" with the merest hint of sex. I have to pry him off with a crow bar on most weekends. Why pay little asian girl for sucky-sucky (me ruv you rong time), when I have it (and a pretty damned good "it") at arms length.

    Your connection is flawed. Those use chemicals which can, themselves, cause long term harm. Therapeutic massage has been shown to help muscles grow after a workout, reduce stress, increase blood flow to fatty regions (helping them to be burned off by the body) and lower blood pressure, all of which are extremely healthful.
