The Gay Masseur

Even though some peo­ple are uncom­fort­able with receiv­ing a rub­down from a gay mas­sage ther­a­pist, it is easy to under­stand why so many are com­plete­ly relaxed with it. Plen­ty of men (gay or straight) pre­fer going to a male masseur, whether the masseur is straight or not. Many men wor­ry that they might become aroused dur­ing a ses­sion. And the woman may not under­stand that it is a phys­i­cal reac­tion and not per­son­al­ly arousal toward her. Many women in the med­ical field know this about male anato­my. How­ev­er, how they may react to it social­ly is based on them. Either way, most women in a clin­i­cal set­ting don’t want to deal with an embar­rass­ing erec­tion. It is for this rea­son that many men pre­fer to go to a pro­fes­sion­al fel­low man. Even with a straight man, you may not run across a super straight une­d­u­cat­ed type and he may think you are turned on by him.

Some straight men may be uncom­fort­able going to a gay mas­sage ther­a­pist, but in the same token, many gay men may be uncom­fort­able get­ting a mas­sage from a straight masseur. Many gay men turn to masseurs that are also homo­sex­u­al, but they can be dif­fi­cult to find since many mas­sage busi­ness­es do not want to spe­cial­ize but keep their book­ings full by not address­ing this male dilemma.

How­ev­er, the ben­e­fits are worth doing a lit­tle detec­tive work to find a place that they are com­fort­able with. Those who are straight can enjoy a rub­down with­out the stress of wor­ry­ing about sex­u­al con­tact. It is thought that when a straight man can get a good mas­sage from anoth­er man it reduces feel­ings of inse­cu­ri­ty and it can also increase self-esteem. There are some psy­cho­log­i­cal ben­e­fits to good phys­i­cal rubdowns!

Going to a gay mas­sage ther­a­pist has its ben­e­fits to a gay man too because the ele­ment or fear of feel­ing ostra­cized or out of place dis­ap­pears. The entire point of a mas­sage is to com­plete­ly relax, but this is very hard to do when you don’t feel like you fit in with the rest of the clien­tele at a place or even with the staff, for that mat­ter. Know­ing that you have noth­ing to fear with your spe­cif­ic masseur can real­ly alle­vi­ate anxiety.

It is rec­om­mend­ed that every man, no mat­ter what his sex­u­al ori­en­ta­tion is able to expe­ri­ence the sat­is­fac­tion of receiv­ing a ther­a­peu­tic rub­down from a straight or gay mas­sage ther­a­pist in a non­judg­men­tal and social­ly pos­i­tive atmos­phere. Whether that means hav­ing a gay or straight man giv­ing the mas­sage, the choice should be up to the client. Thank­ful­ly these days there are many excel­lent resources on the Inter­net for find­ing a masseur in your area that will be able to cater to any of your needs with many dif­fer­ent types of ther­a­pies and tech­niques, whether you choose a straight or a gay mas­sage therapist.
