Erotic Massage & Conscious Touch for Queer Men is a 5-day immersive training for queer men–identifying people. This course explores touch, presence, and sensuality as skilled, consensual, and embodied practices. Through a deep dive into anatomy, diverse massage techniques, and daily embodied practice—including giving and receiving two massages a day—participants build confidence, sensitivity, and range in both giving and receiving touch.
This training is designed for people who wish to offer massage and sensual touch professionally, as well as those who want to deepen intimacy, connection, and pleasure in their personal and relational lives.
