There are men who aren’t comfortable with a man massaging him because if a man touches another man, even if it’s for professional reasons, that automatically means someone is gay.
Sexuality – Some people view touch as only being sexual, so having a man massage your back or legs might seem too sexual to feel comfortable. Part of this also stems from homophobia.Judgement – Is he going to judge your cellulite? Stretch marks? That your body isn’t of Victoria’s Secret caliber? That you have scars? That your muscles aren’t perfectly toned? That you have body hair?.There are a few main reasons why men and women shy away from a male massage therapist. But is it saturated with women because more women are interested in being Massage Therapists? Or is it that the stigma of seeing a male Massage Therapist that prevents males from pursuing careers in Massage Therapy? Now granted, over 80% of all Licensed Massage Therapists are female, so it’s an industry saturate by women, much like nursing. The vast majority of the time, men and women will wait to schedule with a woman over a man. Most women prefer to be worked on by a woman, and most men prefer to be worked on by a woman. There is definitely a bias when it comes to the gender of a Licensed Massage Therapist.
