As a gay person there can be something very comforting about knowing you’re in a safe space for gay people, whether that’s in a club or a barbershop, even having a massage, there’s a certain ease that can be found. Sometimes it can be safer for the masseur to be upfront about their sexuality, too, even in this modern age there is a lot of fragility as a result of toxic masculinity which can put the masseur in a dangerous position.
When you get to freely live your truth it can create a more enjoyable experience for everyone, being able to express oneself will allow you to focus more on the matter at hand, your relaxation. It’s not necessarily a gay-only environment, many gay masseurs have over 50% straight clients, but as is a big part of true relaxation, being open and honest is paramount.
Some gay clients may only want to be massaged by another gay person because, for one reason or another, they know they won’t be judged while in an exposed and vulnerable state.
