@ TheOtherTink: Sorry for the rant that follows this, maybe I'm over thinking it or just in too serious/tired of a mood to be posting this late at night, anyways here just a (rant) of some thoughts, don't feel like you need to read it or take it so serious if you post was playful (which I'm thinking it was playful).
I don't think that faking it, is a good idea. I mean it might get some relief from the current inept massage, but what about the future? What if you like the guy, if he thinks he did a good job this time, then he's going to want to do it again (thinking he's good at it) and you're going to be put in the bad spot again. Or even if it's a one time thing, and you don't think you'll ever see the guy again, he's going to now think he's good at it and try his bad messages on someone else, letting him ruin his chances with her and putting her in a bad spot.
Wouldn't it just be much much better, to stop him and teach him how to do it correctly? Then he understands he has some learning still to do, you hopefully can get a good massage out of him (or at least better one) after teaching him a little, and hopefully put any future partners of his in better spots.
And yes I know, the big problem is that guys don't listen... I get that, but once you put a naughty girl into the picture where he might get something out of it... normally they start listening a lot better (or you know.... get kick the f out)...
Don't get me wrong, there is probably a time and place for "faking it" (as a man, it's hard to type that, but it's probably true, (ie, not in the mood, the man's (thin) ego can't take it at the moment, etc)) but I think guys needs more teaching moments from females as well, as it seems a lot of the guys teachings have come from other guys... which, how do I say isn't always correct or smart to attempt with all women, and I believe a woman's viewpoint could be better.
That or maybe I'm just over thinking it and attempting to be way to serious when it's way too late at time...
Sorry for the rant everyone
This deserves a Thumbs up Zolfie and as Moderator I can do this..........Ser
