Here it is…

British scientists say they’ve solved a mystery that’s been puzzling scientists for years – why can’t people tickle themselves? The Daily Telegraph in London reported Monday that the secret lies in the cerebellum, the region of the brain that monitors movement.
Researchers at University College London found that the cerebellum detects self-inflicted touch ahead of time and tells the rest of the brain to ignore the resulting sensation, spoiling the fun of self-tickling.
The UCL team used magnetic-resonance imaging to scan the brains of 16 volunteers who were tickled by a machine and by themselves. The robotic tickler was far more effective because the brain wasn’t able to sense when the tickle was coming.
The team then tried letting the volunteers tickle their right hands by activating the robot with their left hands. When the researchers delayed the movement of the machine by a few hundredths of a second they found the volunteers still couldn’t tickle themselves.
But when the delay was increased to longer than one fifth of a second, the self-tickling worked.
UCL’s Dr. Sarah-Jayne Blakemore says the brain’s downplay of sensation to self-touch is a survival mechanism that’s evolved so the brain pays proper attention to stimuli from potential predators.

Really please do explain more as the internet is very conflicting on this matter... I am deeply intrigued as I had up till now never came across this massage having been part of Sunah? I'm not exactly a massage supporter but this sounds most interesting. :@:

Cupping therapy - Wikipedia
It is a Sunnah, and in a hadith that that Cupping is the cure of many diseases. Took my mom for cupping a month ago…2 sessions done. All i know is that since it’s the sunnah…it HAS to be worthwhile

Hehe yaar long story short I was only lucky/unlucky enough to be massaged twice in my life and both experiences scared me witless.

I know it’s meant to be relaxing and everything but take a proper Hamam someday and while it’s good I have known the Bastinado to be less painfull… the second time I ended up getting very annoyed by the Faujee Malshee and it almost became a bloodbath… I have an eternal fear of Massage these days.

You wont believe it.. I’m not gonna name names, but back in 08 I was supposed to be working for some top Politicians and you would not believe the stuff they got up to… Thoubah Thoubah I assure you though gentlemen I am a good boy.

here you go

standard precautions (clean or sterile techniques) are used in all medical procedures, including lethal injection. This protects the person inserting the IV, and anyone else handling “sharps,” and is not just for the benefit of the person being executed.
