Today I did my part to help Michigan's economy and support career changes by getting a massage at the Ann Arbor Institute of Massage Therapy (AAIMT). This was my third or fourth massage at AAIMT. It was my first massage with this particular masseuse. She is a truly gifted woman of small stature. I mention her stature because she, like many small-statured female massage therapists, seems to really get excited by working on a muscular body. I am no body builder but I have some left over musculature from working out. It has been my experience that small-statured female massage therapists see large muscles and think they can go to town. The therapists put their all into working my legs. It hurts during and feels great afterwards.
I think massage is S&M for the non-adventurous. Basically, it goes like this:
--------------------------------
Oh, this hurts. Breath deeply. Oh, yeah. Oh, oh, oh. Breathe. Oh, she is killing me. Ooh. Breathe. Breathe. Oh, she is really killing me. Ooh, ouch, ooh. Ouch. God, I do not think I going to make it through this. Oh, this hurts. This is painful.
Oh, we're done. When is your next available appointment? I cannot wait.
---------------------------------
Everyone should treat him- or herself to a massage. It requires no reciprocation except for a tip. You can tell the massage therapist exactly what you want and they will do it. Wonderful.

I've only been once, but I enjoyed it quite a bit as well. I think I went into with too high of an expectation, but it was still pretty nice. Too bad we don't have an institute here!
