Yeah I do this. But do keep it under 5 seconds and never touch bare skin, that is very homosexual indeed and your friend will get creeped out.

These are good guidelines, within which it is acceptable.

Also, if on a rugby pitch your shoulders are wrecked from drills, you may give/receive brief massages from teammates while in line for next railroads drill.

it's only inappropriate if you or him or both get aroused

If somebody at work just started touching me un-provoked I'd be seriously ****ed off, gross invasion of my personal space.

If I knew a guy who was trained in sports massage and could get this damned knot out of my back and asked him to - yeah, cool, why not.

The first scenario is no less freaky than someone walking up to you and starting stroking your hair - i.e. weird as ****.

Would you give a guy a foot massage?

I'm not sure anybody else got the Pulp Fiction reference.

And totally inappropriate imo. Guy starts rubbing my shoulders in the office will end up with sore nuts.

I don't see how giving him sore nuts is any less gay

My friend whose into sports therapy etc sometimes gives me massages...and damn they feel so good...no homo though!

Nothing wrong with it. I think its a bit weirder out of the fitness industry, but still fine.

There are some days I'd really appreciate a shoulder massage at work, whoever it came from.

Tummy did, but other than that it looks like a poor show.

It's okay, as long as neither of you are wearing budgie smugglers.

Randomface74 · 27 Aug 2011 at 10:43

hell no it's not alright

If someone tried that on me in the office then they would receive a kick massage unless I knew them and they were sports masseurs.

I had a fella give me a massage in Mauritius, I think it has to be like that due to their religion or something. Anyway the Mrs was in the same spa room having her massage... I fell asleep during mine and as I snore really loud, it made the man stop and look at my Mrs as in what to do

I remember him doing smoething to my eye area and thats it, ended up waking up with the Mrs not happy as I was making a right racket.

It could be perfectly innocent, but of course he could just be getting you used to close physical contact with him before he gets a bit more intimate
