China my love says he toasts my courage and that he’s done guasha once but doesn’t want to do it a second time because it hurt too much.

The guys who guasha’d us asked how hard they should do it, and my Chinese friend said not hard, so maybe that’s why it didn’t hurt very much. The lines are really faded now only a few days later.

Actually, most bathhouses have a male and female side…so if I really wanted to participate in this cultural experience, I could. But, for the record, I don’t really feel like I’m missing out…mostly because the response myself and other foreign ladies have gotten to body shape and size when I’m fully clothed tells me that I might not want to subject myself to an unclothed version of that experience.

Yeah, I’m probably a cultural wuss in this area…but considering that if I could easily go get fire-cupped or guasha’ed without having to have the full bathhouse experience, I’d probably rather do that. :)
