As a Massage Therapist for over 20 years, my take on this might be a bit different.
It depends on my goal for my massage. If I know that someone is more expert in a given modality (type) of massage, I will go to them, male or female. When I needed some comparatively focused work, I went to one of my massage teachers- a guy- because I knew this was one of his areas of highest expertise. When my daughter developed knee problem, I had her see him rather than the ortho guy who just wanted to cut up her knee. (She is doing fine with no surgery which was put as a 50/50 chance or helping).
If I am going for a relaxation massage- aka Swedish or "spa " massage- I will typically go with a female because- on a whole- female therapists will usually have smoother, more flowing presentation of their massage strokes.
@ahhang, I saw the question, but I didn't want to answer... If it's ultimately necessary to get a massage, I would prefer to get it from a male. The reason is the same as by QueenOfBaku.
Cause from my previous examinations or massages being handled by a female. Sure they have soft hands, but they put way too much pressure than it needs to be. That it sometimes causes discomfort.
That from a male, they already have strong hands and are more gentle when touching.
Two other possible reasons about the females' touch feeling "heavy", both being related.
1. Female fingers are typically more slender, therefore, a given amount of pressure- especially when doing "point work" can feel more intense since it is concentrated in a smaller area than with males' fingers. 2. Ditto for their whole hand when doing effleurage since mens' hands are bigger than those of women. Here's an example: Let's say that two therapists- one male and one female- each press with 35 pounds of pressure (easily doable by either). A female hand can be as small as 20 square inches of less. We do the math to find that she would be applying 35/20= 1.75 PSI of pressure. A male hand can be 28 square inches or more. We do the math on that one and find that he would be applying a mere 35/28 = 1.25 PSI ! That said, I had a particular female teacher who was about 4'8" and about 85-90 pounds sopping wet. Because of her extensive knowledge of pressure points and leverage, she could easily cripple someone in a heartbeat if she wanted to, or she could float a stroke like a feather on the breeze.
Same! Honestly I get shy sometimes around women too, not as if I liked them or anything! I feel it would go better with a female giving me a massage because I’m sure she knows where to massage more than a male would no offense to you males.
@PeytonVB It's fine getting shy sometimes. You feel it would go better with a female giving you massage. But you will never know🤷♂️ when a male knows better where to massage 😉
At the end of the process, you can only love it. Even you might have felt, “oh shit I shouldn't have done that”.

Definitely a female, wouldn’t feel comfortable if my Johnson got hard during a massage with a guy. He may think it was him and not my super high sex drive.

I prefer to get a massage from a woman because I don't get a massage for sexual reasons and woman are usually more gentle than men which makes the massage more relaxing
Girls judge a lot more harshly than guys, if a model like woman was touching me I'd feel super insecure and would constantly think about assets she has that I don't etc whereas with a guy I wouldn't care so much plus I'm about average not horrible to look at but also not a gal you'd brag to your friends
That's why you should be careful when you're drinking, but that's a lot different than a massage, you can also masturbate to a pic on fb does that mean you don't post pictures of your holiday or beach days no
Ofc there's nothing wrong with homosexuality,, but i imagine a straight man wouldn't really be comfortable having a guy seeing them in a vulnerable position
I prefer a guy. Guy presses more on the muscles and have much more power. Girls especially Asian ones start to get tired especially that i have muscle cramps often due to ptsd.

I don't really care, but probably a man because I like my massages to be firm and I need strong and big hands for that. If it's a female with strong and big hands it's also fine though.

A woman. It's not even a sex thing, I just feel like women have softer hands. Even though i know that male or female can both deliver the same quality massage.

No dude will be rubbing my inner thighs, thanks though.
@ActiveSh1tter I've seen you reply to multiple comments like this one calling them out for being "homophobic" but it's just preference lmao, *especially* when someone is straight and isn't comfortable with that
It doesn't matter. If she felt threatened and saw your boner she has legal grounds to have you arrested. She wouldn't let you off unless your were tall and handsome.
Recall that guy who slapped the reporter's butt, he got arrested. These days being sexual with women in any way will get you into prison unless they find you very attractive.
I have done many whole body massages with people fully dressed. Of course this won't be quite as relaxing, but I've done them. If people wear either very tight clothing or very loose clothing, it's not a problem. Of course, if a lady wants and erotic massage, the clothes will typically go, although they may certainly have a sheet/towel as desired. It's kind of strange, though - - - licensing in my state requires the therapist to provide draping for the client. However, the law does NOT require the client to actually USE it! lol
I've been a Therapist for over 20 years and am comfortable working on just about anyone except- people who don't bathe, people who come late and don't call ahead (they don't respect my time), extremely anorexic individuals.
