Flashback: Time For a Cat Massage!

TresSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 04:00:00 -0700

Are you fluent in meow? This lady is! If you were, you'd know that petting is passé and what your cat really wants is a massage. Afraid Kittles might bite? Use a stuffed Tigger for practice, especially before you try any major "whisker alert" moves. But, really, I don't buy this woman has the touch of a fairy that she claims. This cat is drugged. Look at his eyes!

Right Touch? South Korea Reserves Job of Masseuse For Blind

CitizenSugar — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 03:00:19 -0700

If you find yourself in South Korea in search of a massage, if you visit a legal parlor, you won't even need a towel for modesty. That's because for the past century the job of masseur has been reserved for the legally blind. Just over 7,000 blind people with magic fingers work in 1,000 massage parlors throughout the country, but it's not enough to keep up with demand. A black market of massage has sprung up supplying another 150,000 to 700,000 illegal, sighted, masseuses who can face fines from $450 to $4,500 and up to three years in jail.

The stand off over the right to rub down has led to violent protests and suits filed by the sighted masseurs asking the Constitutional Court of South Korea to declare unconstitutional the blind-only law and a violation of their rights. A ruling on the matter could come next week.

To see both sides of the argument, read more.

One sighted and illegal masseur says, “It breaks my heart when I think that what I am doing every day, what I consider my calling, is a crime. We are not trying to steal jobs from the blind. We just want to share the market. We want to live as normal citizens, not as criminals.”

However a blind masseur is fearful of losing his niche saying, “I have a wife and two children to support. If I lose this job, I will have to beg on the streets. How can taking away one job from people who only have one compare with taking one job away from sighted people who have a hundred jobs to choose from?”

Should the government be able to assign one profession to a group of people? Is it discriminatory to those left out - and does it hamper the progress of those the law is trying to help? Or is it a perfect plan, matching abilities with their opposite?

You Asked: How Do I Blow Him Away?

DearSugar — Thu, 08 May 2008 17:00:00 -0700

Dear Sugar,

My fiancé is coming home in a week from being gone for a year at school in another state. I want to surprise him with the best night he's ever had. It needs to be completely unforgettable, but I don't know what to do. Obviously something sexy will ensue, but how do I start it? Dinner? Wine? What can I do to totally blow him away?

Dear Enticing Tisha,

It can be overwhelming to see someone who you haven't see in a while: Expectations run high, and there's added pressure, so I think it's a good thing to start slow and rev up. Set the mood with soft lighting, great music, and of course, you, in something cute.

Beginning with food and wine is a great idea, but instead of cooking a lavish meal, which can be very stressful, come up with some easy appetizers - cheese, crackers, cured meats, and fruits are great when served elegantly. Once you guys have reconnected, it's time to turn up the heat! Use some sweet-smelling massage oil and give him a complete rubdown from his shoulders to his toes or pull him into the shower for a steamy rinse.

When he's completely relaxed (and totally excited!) it's time to take it up another notch. Surprise him with a sexy new piece of lingerie. If he's into the more sultry look, choose something black or red, and make up your eyes to match. If he's all about classic beauty, find something light pink or off-white and tousle your hair. I'm sure that from there, things will pretty much take care of themselves! Above all else, it should be fun and stress-free, so only do what works for you guys!

Four-Handed Massage = Body Bliss

DearSugar — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 11:00:00 -0700

What's better than getting a massage from a professional masseuse? Not much, but how about two people massaging you at the same time? I honestly don't think it gets any better than that.

It's the ultimate treat for your mind, body, and spirit. Massage therapy enhances the function of your joints and muscles, improves circulation, relieves physical and mental fatigue and stress, and increases flexibility.

With a Four-Handed massage, two pairs of hands will glide over you with rhythmic well-choreographed motions. One therapist leads the movements while the other therapist mirrors those moves on the opposite side. It sure does sound like the perfect way to de-stress after a long week!

What's MORE Relaxing?

DearSugar — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 08:00:00 -0700

I love any and every kind of massage. There is something so satisfying about closing your eyes and letting somebody touch you, and not having to do a thing but enjoy it.

When it comes to intimacy with a boyfriend, getting touched in a loving and nurturing way is both a huge turn-on and a way to get me completely relaxed. While I have a hard time choosing between a foot massage and a back massage, what I want to know is which do you find more relaxing?

De-Stress With The Massage Deck

DearSugar — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 11:00:00 -0700

When I get stressed out, my body responds in a physical way. I can't sit still, my muscles get tense and I get a major headache. It's times like these when my mind and body screams, "I Need a Massage!"

Most of the time, I can't get an appointment with my favorite massage therapist and that's where the The Massage Deck ($14.95) comes in handy.

It features 50 easy-to-follow, artfully illustrated methods for giving and receiving the perfect massage. Each card gives detailed instructions on massage techniques (so it's okay if you don't know what you're doing), and tips for when to use essential oils and lotions. They suggest specific sequences for 10 and 20 minute massages so you and your partner can take turns massaging the other into a state of calmness and learning the important language of touch. Then who knows ... the massages may lead to other much more fun stress-relieving activities!!

A Fun Thing to do With Your Lover

DearSugar — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 08:00:00 -0700

I know I'm always looking for ways to spice up the action in the bedroom, so here's a fun idea you can try out. It's called "YOUR Turn - MY Turn," and here's how it works.

Choose 2 consecutive nights that you and your partner are available. If you want, you can even plan a 2-night weekend getaway somewhere.
Let it be your partner's turn first. That means for the entire night, they get to decide what you do to them and for them. Do they want you to make them dinner, and then have chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne in a bubble bath? Do they want a full body massage? Do they want you to dress up in a special, sexy outfit? Or do they want to choose certain sex positions they always wanted to try? It's totally up to your partner to decide - but you do have to make sure that whatever they're asking is respectful and not causing any pain or uncomfortable feelings.
Then the next night, guess what? It's YOUR turn. Do you want to go out to dinner and then come home and have your partner give you a 30-minute foot massage? Do you want to try using a new sex toy? Do you want to make love in the shower? Or maybe you want your lover to spend an hour kissing every single part of your body. It's totally up to you.

This "YOUR Turn - MY Turn" idea is great if you and your significant other have reached a boring plateau in your relationship. It'll bring back some of the fire that got you two together in the first place. Plus it gives you a chance to ask for things you might feel shy about otherwise. It's also a way to show your lover how much you appreciate and love them. Could you think of a better way to spend 2 nights?
