First time massage - male or female therapist?

[Dee]

I'm getting a massage for the first time next week and I have the option of either a male or female therapist. Any suggestions? Also, any tips?
FYI I'm a girl

Female. But then again, it doesn't matter as long as you can request for the best massage therapist in the crowd.

Tips:
1. If you are kinda shy or self-conscious, then choose someone who is also female. It might perhaps lessen the stress and allow you to relax more knowing that someone is of the same gender.

2. If you think you can handle a more vigorous (but then not all male therapists) and a heavy pressured massage, and you are prone to relax more with heavy pressure choose a male instead. But then it does not guarantee that all male therapists have exert more pressure doing massage.

3. It does not matter what gender, whoever is available at the time of your arrival.

The bottom line is whatever works for you and are comfortable with.

Hope this helps a little.
