I also felt kinda icky with another man touching me but it wasn't inappropriate just strange for me. I went to the same place for a prenatal massage with a female and that wasn't any good either, unfortunately! It's one of the most popular upscale spas around here so I've gotten gift cards but otherwise it wouldn't be my first choice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-male-or-female-massage-therapists#post-2093702 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 20:21:23 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2093702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a preference as long as they have really strong hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-male-or-female-massage-therapists#post-2093614 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 19:23:36 +0000 catomd00 2093614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Male!

But then I was 'forced' to have a male one time, and it was AMAZING. So, now I will request a male masseuse (if I ever actually get a massage again... my previous company paid for spa days once a year :( ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-male-or-female-massage-therapists#post-2093290 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 15:57:42 +0000 psw27 2093290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Typically I prefer a woman but I won't turn down a massage if only men are available.

A massage is a huge splurge for me and if I'm doing it I want to be totally relaxed.

I've had both, and it's totally not a fair generalization but the 2 worst massages I've ever had were by men (2 different therapists at 2 different spas). They were terrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-male-or-female-massage-therapists#post-2093082 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 14:53:04 +0000 .twist. 2093082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a preference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-male-or-female-massage-therapists#post-2093075 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 14:50:14 +0000 Torchwood 2093075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put prefer female, but I do agree with @sandy that men tend to have larger hands and it can be nice. But it makes me uncomfortable. DH will cancel an appointment if no female is available. He had a male once and was very uncomfortable. Which I find interesting because he is normally not type to care about that sort of thing. He told his gay coworker the other day that if he (DH) were gay, he would want to date him, went to Brokeback Mountain with a huge group of gay couples, etc. it normally doesn't phase him at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-male-or-female-massage-therapists#post-2092979 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 14:17:26 +0000 sandy 2092979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No real preference but slight preference towards men bc they tend to have larger hands that can apply pressure more evenly </p>
