Would you prefer to be massaged by a professional male or female masseuse?!


Question: Would you prefer to be massaged by a professional male or female masseuse.?
I ask this question because I went or a massage 2 days ago and my usual female masseuse was sick and the replacement was a male (approx 45-50yrs old). I didn't give it a second thought until I was on the massage table and halfway through the massage, then I started to feel uncomfortable. Not that he did anything wrong or inappropriate, the same as my usual masseuse.

I don't think of myself as conservative and it's totally messing with my mind that I might have some prudish tendencies.

Am I a prude for not wanting a male masseuse.?

Are you a prude if you prefer to have a female massage you.?Health Question & Answer

It doesn't really matter who you have a masseuse, as long as you are comfortable with them. I work a local massage clinic, and there are some people who prefer males, and then some that prefer females. We try to accommodate all of this. Health Question & Answer

i always have female masseuses (im female) and never thought about getting one done by a male. one day i needed one badly and the only one available was male. i went and he ended up being one of the best iv had. it was a little awkward for me but i ended up really benefiting from it and would go to him againHealth Question & Answer

Yes it was prudish and next time when you have it done by male, just relax and enjoy without some unwelcome thoughts.
The male masseur is just another professional similar to your GP or MD or the operating surgeon.Health Question & Answer

i used to be prudish about this too... but i found that the few massages i've gotten from male masseuses were among the best i've had, partly because they can usually exert stronger pressure on the muscles/ tissues and they have a more accurate sense of where to apply pressure. But to get the most from a massage, it's best to choose the masseuse you're most comfortable with so that you can let your body completely relax and get the full benefits. if i were a male masseuse i would understand why a female client would prefer a female therapist. it's probably no big deal.Health Question & Answer

I don't think you're a prude at all. Reality is that not everyone is used to physical contact like that with someone of the opposite sex, even if it's not done in a sexual manner.

As for me, I'd prefer neither because I just don't like being touched.Health Question & Answer
