Why Somatic Bodywork is Beneficial for All Men

A question I often get asked is…

‘Is it common for men to seek out a deeper, more sensorial experience from another man?

I see men of all ages and backgrounds. Many lead busy professional lives and are looking for a space where they can truly decompress. Over the years, I have learned that the need for restorative, intuitive touch is universal, regardless of how one defines their lifestyle.

Whatever your background or lifestyle—whether you are looking for deep relaxation or a professional reset, there is so much more to enjoy – when receiving a massage from another man – than just physical relaxation and personal discovery. Male clients often tell me that a massage given by a male masseur is firmer and more assertive than when given by a female masseuse. They also say that they feel more relaxed and less anxious about physical reactions and able to focus on the deep release.

Men understand men both physically and emotionally; we know what we like ourselves so can empathize with others to give the same. Naturally, a male masseur will understand another man’s body better than any female masseuse, but what surprises most newbies to male-to-male massage is the pleasure of being nurtured and cared for by another man. Men are programmed to give and receive restorative touch. For a man to give another man supportive touch and for it be accepted is a sign of approval and acceptance. Younger men seek approval from older men. Older men seek companionship and trust with one another. The more intimate the touch is the more trusting the connection becomes. The flow is simple: with connection comes relaxation, with relaxation comes a heightened physical awareness, with awareness comes restorative release, and with release comes total contentment.

So whatever motivation you have for wanting to experience a massage from another man – be it exploration, connection, muscle, stress and tension release or simply pure escapism to recharge your batteries – I promise you that the massage you get from me will be one of the best you ever have.

After 10+ years as a professional masseur I feel I know as much as there is to know about the male body and relaxation. Or maybe you want to ask me for help with intimate wellness and performance vitality; whatever your motivation, I will tailor-make the perfect restorative massage for you, giving you the best experience possible.

I look forward to welcoming you.
