In general, nothing about a therapist’s gender will tell you about the style or quality of massage they give. Some people are more comfortable receiving a massage from a person of the same gender, while others are comfortable with a therapist of the opposite gender. While no professional wants their services refused based upon their gender, they also realize that if you’re nervous about who is giving you the massage, then you won’t be able to relax and enjoy your massage. Please feel free to request whichever gender you prefer for your massage.
