Great article and a massage therapy idea

[Alonewith2cats]

So I came across this article on the internet.

And I really like this idea from the article.

"For my single girl-friends, I recommend receiving massages from men. Men who have gone through massage therapy school usually have very strong boundaries, and are superb for providing healing touch. This is the easiest way to receive masculine energy in a safe environment."

My current massage therapist is a female and she's good. She puts me to sleep every time but in my mind I've thought about how I would prefer a male massage therapist. Then I would ask myself why and how silly I am for thinking like this. What difference does it make as long as the massage therapist is licensed and good? I shouldn't have a gender preference. Besides most women prefer a female massage therapist. What's wrong with me? Why am I feeling the opposite? But after reading this article I don't feel so strange about this. It's simply a craving for masculine touch and it doesn't have to be sexual. I remember way back when I had a male massage therapist, instead of being put to sleep like my current female massage therapist does, he relaxed me to the point of feeling half drunk. It was wonderful.

For some reason, this made me smile.

They also have people you can hire to snuggle with for this same reason.

Nothing sexual. Just someone to hold for a few moments.

I really just want hugs every once in a while. To me that is like saying "Hey, I don't find you too appalling to physically embrace you for a few moments". And that makes me feel good.

You can get this for free.

The only reason I won't do this is because it's about as scary as on-line dating. I just wouldn't invite someone I don't know to my home to cuddle in case he might be a rapist or a serial killer, you never know. I wouldn't want to pay for cuddles, I think people should get those for free, then you really feel you're not too appalling to physically embrace, but I will pay a good massage therapist. One thing I would do if there was such a thing in my city is attend a cuddle party but there are none in San Diego, I checked. I don't think California is really a cuddle friendly state. Most of the cuddle parties seem to be in other states.

I agree. Cuddles should be free. But beggars can't be choosers, I suppose.

You could start a cuddle party. Start a group on Meetup.com and see if there is interest. Might be others who want to join in!

I'm too shy, don't really know how to organize events, and I wouldn't know where to have it. So as my first time at a cuddle party I'd be more comfortable attending one than starting one.

Understood. Sounds like a male massage therapist is right for you.
