STANDARDS OF RESPECT

In order to encourage an evening of great massage and sharing, no one on or off the table should endure anything that doesn’t “celebrate touch”. While on the table, let your masseurs know what you want, what you don’t want, and how they can help you enjoy the experience. When giving massage, concentrate your attention on the man on the table. Check in with the person you are massaging and make sure he is getting the most out of the experience.

In order to heighten the experience for all participants, we ask that each masseur give as complete a massage as possible. Both masseurs should work together but neither should skip any facet of the massage. The demonstration massage at the opening of the evening is an excellent guideline for what should be covered by each masseur. The order in which parts of the body are covered is not as important as the thoroughness. There is, however, one exception: genital massage is part and parcel of the experience. It should not be skipped by either masseur; but at the same time it should not be the focus of the entire massage. When working on the back, do not work under the person unless he explicitly agrees and only go there carefully. When working on the front, do not proceed directly to the genital massage. Go there gradually, address other parts of the body, be careful, and be gentle. Above all, be sensuous.

In order to achieve a high level of sensual touch and erotic energy for the whole group, we encourage touch both on and off the table. During a massage, the person on the table may touch or caress his masseurs as long as it is mutually acceptable, unobtrusive, does not interfere with the massage itself, and is done in a caring, sensual and respectful manner. During breaks members should also feel free to touch, hug and caress each other. Again, it should be done in a respectful, caring and sensual manner.

In order to facilitate the friendship and mutual trust our goals require, we hope that you will participate equally with all members. Celebrate Touch welcomes men of all races, ages, sexual orientations, levels of experience, and physical size and shape. Intent is much more important than looks or experience. We also hope that you will respect the privacy of others. You may share as much or as little information about your life outside the group as you wish. Feel free to give contact information to any other participants: do it discreetly, but do not expect everyone attending will be interested in outside contact. The name and number you provided in your initial contact with Celebrate Touch will be kept confidential and not given out even at another member’s request.
