When it comes to massage, ask yourself what you are comfortable with and make your choices accordingly. Most men request a female therapist, probably because they're more comfortable being touched by a woman; on the flip side, women tend to choose male massage therapists, perhaps for the same reasons, or because they believe men are stronger. But the fact is, strength really doesn't matter: A good therapist uses body weight, not muscle, to practice massage. It's simply a matter of your personal preference.
