Will my boyfriend really like going to a spa?
You may be surprised how much he'll love it. Whilst sometimes just getting your boyfriend to a spa is the hardest part, getting him to leave at the end may prove just as tricky!
In the UK, the rise of the metrosexual and the idea of male grooming has been more of a gentle ascent than a vertical take-off. But men are learning that spas are a great leisure and health option, too. And one that won't make him the butt of his mates' jokes.
Some guys are shy about going for a romance ritual or couples treatment, worrying that candles and massage might all seem a bit strange or embarrassing, or that they will be expected to be too demonstrative in front of strangers.
For some men (and women alike!), just to do absolutely nothing is a strange concept. Your man will have to get his head round the fact that he won't be watching TV, kicking a ball about, reading the paper, or checking his mobile phone messages. Just relaxing. For many men, this idea of complete passivity seems odd. He needs to be ready to surrender himself, and his only previous experience of that may be undergoing a medical examination.
If you're booking a spa experience, choose his treatment carefully. He may feel his masculinity is under threat by an afternoon spent being strewn with rose petals. And he may not be wholly responsive to the idea of having candles inserted in his ears.
Then there is the delicate matter of what might politely be called involuntary arousal. Might the experience of being rubbed with essential oils in a darkened room result in him revealing rather more pleasure than is quite appropriate to a stranger? Trust us, he's likely to be far too polite to let his thoughts wander in that direction. Having a professional massage will hopefully be a sensual experience, but it won't be a sexual one.
Rest assured, as soon as those candles are lit and the aromatherapy oils are gliding over his body, he won't be embarrassed at all. He'll love it.
