Wife has been badgering me to try this... I'm pretty open minded but as of yet have not given in.

Just be ready for some pretty rough treatment on your feet! She had me almost crying one minute then moved on to the "tickle me Elmo" spot on my feet that I could not take long!

I get spa pedicures all the time along with my very hot 15-year younger-than-me wife. Think my man card need revocation? Come and get it, biotches!

Anyone that disagrees has either never chosen to enjoy this guilty pleasure or is simply living in the past.

I go with my wife to get pedicures at a nail shop that serves alcohol. I keep telling her she needs to "make me" go with her again. Foot rub, Sierra Nevade, and an American Hunter. Not a bad afternoon.

I probably could have gone for a little less thigh in that pic though.

The wifey convinced me to try reflexology (foot massage)... Billions of Asians believe in massage as a healing treatment...

One of the reasons why it feels like they are trying to poke there finger through your foot is certain pressure points are not on the surface.. they are internal...

In any event its quite relaxing... you get a foot soak in hot soapy water.... while your feet are soaking you usually get a nice massage of your neck and shoulders..

Then they go to work on your feet..

After an hour you have happy clean feet!!

Some places are a little out there, like this one where you soak your feet in an aquarium first, and the lil fish pre clean your feet



In China many blind people get specialized training in massage...

With my wife in Hufie, the massuese commented that I had really big feet, not knowing that I was qwielo...LOL

The first time I did that(20 years ago), we were dating so my man card was questioned. the tickle me Elmo got me a nice boner and would not go away. I have flat feet, so a foot massage or flexology(Leg and foot message started from my old cycle racing days) is pretty normal for me if I have to stand for more then 8-10 hour days. One to two times a month. Except I have a man (my man) do the work. I feel the women is just not strong enough for me. Yes, I like it when they kick my ass digging into the arch and the bottom of my feet with their knuckle. it hurts, but after that, I am on cloud 9.

Even went to dinner with some Porsche guys and not one of them said a thing about the clearcoat on my fingernails.... prolly a smart thing!
You, my friend, are in the company of some real men. I was told real men do not notice these things. Now, their wives knew the minute you sat down on the dinner table. They just don't want to say anything and wish their husbands would do the same thing to theirs.

Well, after those last five or so posts on this thread I'm not sure I wanna contribute...but what the hell...

After hearing a few guys I know post on this I decided to go get a pedicure. Last time was in Thailand several decades ago and I enjoyed it then. All of the place was stocked with Viet Namese cuties...except the one I got. Yep, I got an older mamma-san from Saigon..really...but she was OK. There were a few honeys around to look at though just not mine. We talked a bit about Nam and how it's changed...blah blah.

The leg/foot massage was nice..really nice and i did not want her to go any higher...LOL...

I doubt I'll go back anytime soon...too spendy for what it was. Maybe six months when I need trimming.

Sorry if I confused anyone. The only time I had a Pedicure was the time when we were dating. I had to if I wanted to get some. Bit my lips and turned in my man card. I wouldn't dare to tell any of my friends. That was the one and only time. I am not sure if my feet felt any different before or after that? The massage, I really enjoy. That's better then an hour of neck and shoulder massage. That's because of my flat feet.

Mark, next time you have a chance, go and get one just on your feet. they wouldn't go any higher, even if you wish you dirty dog. It sounds like you enjoyed it, an hour will sent your feet to heaven.

I ask if he is going fruity on me, maybe I need to get pick him up a nice dress. He wants to know WTF is the matter with me, am I going soft in the head or something. I point out the toenails, and he tells me his grand daughter had come to see him and did it, what was he supposed to do, tell her no? Not like anyone is going to see it, and he totally forgot about it. It was pretty funny.

Back OT, yeah, pedicure, careful about their instruments, but the foot and leg massage bit is pretty outstanding.

Hey Doc,

How do you feel about these foot massages from a medical stand point? Great for a couple of days, then it goes back to normal. I have custom orthotics from my foot doc but I have never ask him about the foot massages.

I know, six year old thread.

For my birthday a year ago I was given a Mani/Pedi card for the local nail shop, bit of a goof card.

I am too cheap to pass up anything that may be of value...so I went.

Being a man and ****, I chose the pedi.

F me running, what a great experience. I go every two months now and the foot scrape alone is worth the $25 scooters. I just got back and may put on some smooth Jazz.

Come get my Man Card out of my cold, well manicured feet.
