Purple skin?
What the...?
A regular massage session turned out some unsightly bruises!
Was somewhat hesistant to try it at first. But the lethal combination of a pair of very good, experienced hands and the gentle advice coming out from its petite lady owner convinced me to give it a try.
There was no heat involved. Just a hand-cranked device that sucked up a portion of my lightly oiled skin and surrounding flesh. The contraption was then moved along my back... WITH my skin and flesh still being gripped in the suction cup! (It was somewhat painful during the approximately 10-min process, but I have a fairly good threshold of pain)
I was feeling rather good after the massage (probably due to the masseuse's very effective hand massage). But as I was window shopping later in the day, I felt a kind of superficial ache on my back.
Back home while I was wondering about my bruises, it suddenly dawned on me why the marks seemed so familiar. Think about it. Sucking the skin superficially - doesn't this remind you of the bruises that you get around your neck when your partner gives you love bites?
Made me wonder... the $38 "extra" I paid to the masseuse could've easily been replicated in the bedroom! *lol* ;)
(Thank God I didn't agree to signing up for this suction package!)
The actual tools that were used on me!
