To rub or not to rub? That is the question. A massage can, and should be, completely relaxing, refreshing and reinvigorating. But when you are allowing someone to get that intimate with your body things can get a little weird! From happy endings to BITING?! These stars have the strangest massage tales...

Supermodel Crystal Renn, 36, had no idea that getting an innocent and relaxing massage, can quickly escalate to a very uncomfortable situation. According to Allure, she once said: "It's always weird when you go and get a massage in another country and they think that massaging your nipples is the norm. I would say that was a Thailand situation. No, thanks!"

In 2013, K-pop star Se7en, 38, found himself in deep water after getting involved in a huge massage scandal. According to reports, he was doing his mandatory military service in the South Korean area of Pocheon, Gyeonggi, when he decided to leave the camp to visit an illegal massage parlor. Three years later, in 2016, he took to Instagram to defend himself. He wrote: "It was mentally stressful to ponder from yesterday where to start. I have let myself believe that fans will someday find out the truth. But, apparently, it turned out to be my fault not to have explained myself earlier. I was reluctant to speak up. Media reports had people believe that I had visited an illegal massage parlor to receive a sex service. It's not true. I first visited two Thai-Chinese style massage parlors that day but they were closed. "Then I visited another place where I could get a massage by a blind masseuse. But then I realized people might misunderstand me being here for an obscene reason, so I left the shop.”

In 2016, Justin Bieber, 28, made headlines after the New York Post newspaper revealed a very bizarre moment that took place while he was getting a massage at New York City’s AIRE Ancient Baths.

Former WWE superstar Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson added cupping to his massage routines in preparation for shooting DC Comics superhero movie 'Black Adam'. A practice that dates back to ancient China, cupping is a method of treating pain after exercise by placing a glass cup on the skin, creating a vacuum which draws up the tissue. As the glass cools, the skin contracts, encouraging blood flow. J

Best known for her roles in the TV series ‘In Treatment’ and ‘Orange Is the New Black’, actress Uzo Aduba, 42, has had some awkward fan encounters whilst getting rubbed down. Speaking to Allure, she spilled: "After I ran the New York Marathon, I went to the spa to get a massage, and the woman who was rubbing me down said, ‘I love ‘Orange Is the New Black.’ And I don't know if I want to hear that while I'm on the table. I don't have clothes on right now!"

Kim Kardashian and many other celebrities are fans of a lymphatic massage. The treatment focuses on giving the recipient a flat abdomen, with the rubbing riding you of any retained fluids. Lymphatic masseur to the stars Rebecca Faria described the process by saying: "Imagine that you are a sink. The pipes of the sink would be your lymphatic system, and the drains would be your lymph nodes. Every time the sink gets clogged, it gets full of water and trash, and nothing can flow. The same thing happens with our lymphatic system. We have our lymph nodes, which are like the drains of the body and they get overloaded, by either emotions when we are angry, when we have anxiety, or things that we eat, like processed food. Or lifestyle in general, like not getting enough sleep, not drinking enough water. "Every time you put your body under a stressful situation, your lymph nodes can get overloaded. And then at some point they can almost get blocked. They can get slowly more blocked, which will make your body retain water, because it won’t be able to flush all that inflammation. It’s exactly like in the sink."

Denise Richards, 51, and husband Aaron Phypers, 50, are the definition of open-minded. In a 2019 episode of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’, Denise left her castmates speechless by revealing her man had tried a “happy ending” massage… that she had booked for him! Speaking to Teddi Mellencamp, Lisa Rinna, Kyle Richards and Camille Grammar, Denise said: “He’s the only guy I had ever been with that had never had one. I was like, ‘You have to try it..'"

Professional massage therapist Dr. Dot, has multiple celebrity clients and previously spoke to Megan Cahn about some of the techniques she uses during her sessions. One technique, believe it or not, is biting! She explained: “I have many special techniques, but my most controversial one that no one else does is the biting method. Only a small selection of people do it, but it’s definitely a celeb favorite. It is Sting’s favorite.”

The former Destiny’s Child member experienced a very uncomfortable moment while trying to relax on the massage table. Kelly said: "I went to a spa, and I remember them asking me to get completely naked, and it was the first time that I had my butt massaged. And I was like, 'This is way too invasive.' I must admit, they weren't going crazy. But that was the first time my heinie was rubbed."
