Is it appropriate for friends to give each other foot and back/shoulder rubs, or is it something too sensual?

This can include Friends With Benefits

Well friend with benefits are already having sex so it's nothing really atypical for them. For normal platonic friends, it would show a sign of interest in more than just platonic friendship. Either way it's appropriate as long as both are single. Basically think of it, would it be seen as cheating or sus if someone gave or received a back/shoulders or foot rub to or from a friend while in a relationship? I think most people would think it is.

Except maybe if the friend is gay

[Fatoumamoud]

No. I don't touch opposed gender body. I don't have male friends but male colleagues.

It depends on the context.

My friend of 3 years just tweaked his back? Yeah, I'll give him a back rub. I'll make sure he feels like a yoga teacher.

My friend of three weeks just pulled her shoulder? Sorry girl, you're going to the doctor.

You want to risk ending up like Antoine Roccamora? :-o

[KostasKouvalis]

I don't know who that is

[DryGermanGuy]

Word around the campfire is that this character Marsellus Wallace had him thrown over the balcony of a four-story building for massaging his wife Mia Wallace's feet.
