Male massages are primary a massage session between a client and a male masseur and are rising in popularity with the number of parlors opening up around the globe only catering to specific demands for these experts with magic hands. It is believed that a man's strong and capable hands are better suited to releasing tension from various bodily parts and thus better at relieving stress.
A massage may well have been looked upon as something that was woman-pleasure oriented or meant for the gay community, but with the evolution of the metro-sexual urban male who believes in looking good and feeling good in every sense, there is an acceptance about straight men of all ages visiting massage parlors for knocking some of the knots out of their system. Not only does a massage help work on stressed muscles and promote blood circulation, it also helps a man relax and free the day's tensions from his mind and body by helping the client achieve a sense of balance and peace through using stronger and effective techniques for inducing sleep, the ultimate relaxant.
A masseuse is a woman who though be well-trained in the various forms of massages or specializing in one particular form, but she is physically less likely to have the basic strength of men, who are more capable on the whole of exerting the strength and pressure needed on various joints in a man's body to rid him of the cricks than a woman massage expert ever could. Of course, we are not talking of the Swedish masseuse, but rather, women masseuse in general! Some men like a male massage expert working on them because of the added muscle power at their disposal so they are likely to get the tight knots of tension out of their system faster, others may prefer it as a fantasy-mode thing – especially gay men who enjoy it more due to associating it with a lover's touch.
Yes, there are homosexual masseurs as well as straight masseurs who service the otherwise inclined or straight lot of male clients in the various top-class as well as budget massage parlors that have sprung up in many tourist spots besides those that offer fringe benefits such as erotic massages or more intimate touching to the clients.
Many men come back to the male massage parlors for the choice of a sensual massage as they are allowed to build on the freedom and willingness of the masseur, but others are quite strict about the kind of services offered being only restricted to non-sensual relaxation techniques. Moreover, depending on the parlor one chooses, one may be required to shed their clothes or keep them on while the thrill factor for some parlors comes with some masseurs even working nude!
You can have a private massage session at home or go to a hotel, but the right ambience is necessary to get the right results of pleasure and relaxation from a perfect massage, so choose what you are comfortable with. And if all else fails, you can build up your own skills at massaging and exchange one with your partner!
