What is your opinion on going for a massage? I go for a massage once a week and I have a great massage therapist. I know that some christians dont like the idea of going for massages as it could lead to sexual stuff but what is your take on this? Have you ever had one before? My theory is as long as you find a good professional therapist, then its all good. I always feel so much better after I get a massage!!

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My personal opinion on it is "meh" because I don't like being touched. But for anyone else, I don't see any reason to avoid it or anything.
My family has this thing where we massage everyone when we gather. I give back/shoulder massages to relatives but I don't receive them since my touching thing. I also give them to friends and acquaintances so I see massaging as sort of a "hello how are you doing" thing. Maybe that's weird, I dunno. It's looked upon in a positive way in my family and personal circles.
My aunt is a licensed chiropractor and gives massages and adjustments to the general public. She makes lots of people feel a lot better and helps alleviate pain from a lot of her customers. She taught me some ways to treat my wrists to relieve carpal tunnel symptoms. I think it's a very positive thing to people who are ok being touched and enjoy it.
I don't see how they could lead to anything sexual unless someone was purposefully making it sexual. Sort of the same way that someone could make food lead to sex if they wanted

I personally don't think I'd like a massage.
I don't see anything wrong with massages for Christians. Not all massage therapists are like that. If a Christian was to come across one who is, simply leave and do not return to that particular person.

I believe that if a person can maintain propriety in their thoughts and actions while receiving (or giving) a massage, it can be a fantastic stress release. I choose not to give or receive them myself, because I do not trust myself to maintain that propriety.

I would probably get one if I didn't have to pay for it but not from a man unless I was married to him.

Oh good grief! I'm sorry but anyone who says massages lead to sexual desires most likely has their own problems! There is nothing wrong with a massage. I assume even most of the inexperienced message therapists have guidelines and rules. If they didn't, they wouldn't stay in business very long. If you are uncomfortable at any moment, you can get up and leave.
Don't let other peoples dirty minds convince you otherwise of something very innocent.
