Many men reach out to me asking, "Who is in the INTOUCHMEN group?" Since we do not share members' details publicly, I want to clarify who we are and what kind of men we are looking for. First thing to know, we are a carefully curated group. Some people are a fit, others are not. This has a lot to do with timing. We are seeking different men at different times. We try to be as inclusive as possible, yet our space is small and our dynamic depend so much on communal energy and b

Touch is one of the most basic ways humans connect and heal. Yet, for many men, the experience of touch remains limited or misunderstood. I have spent over 20 years working with men through bodywork, learning how powerful and transformative touch can be when approached with openness and respect. My goal has been to create a calm, playful, and sensual environment where men can explore touch without pressure or confusion. This post shares why men’s massage and bodywork deserve

Meeting other men and creating a space where we can relax, learn, and explore our bodies is more important than many realize. The journey into sensuality and trust through touch is not just about physical connection; it’s about building a community that supports each other in reducing stress and deepening self-awareness. This group depends entirely on the participation of its members, and as the motivator, my role is to create a fun, curated container where we can all safely

My journey into understanding the male body began with art—painting and photography. What started as a simple passion for capturing the male form soon revealed a deeper curiosity. After one photo shoot, I realized I had no real understanding of the body beyond its surface appeal. That moment sparked a 20-year exploration of the male body, its meaning, and its connection to wellness. Now, I return to photography with a fresh perspective, offering personal photo shoots for the

Exploring the desire to connect physically with another man can feel confusing when you have identified as heterosexual your entire life. Yet, this yearning is more common than many realize. At INTOUCHMEN, we believe that touch between men is a natural, enriching experience that goes beyond traditional labels. This post explores how men can safely and joyfully explore their bodies and emotions through men's bodywork, tantric massage, and men's massage, all within a space of

I’ve spent years exploring different healing practices, from yoga to touch therapies, always seeking spaces where people can genuinely connect with themselves and others. Along the way, I noticed a troubling trend: the rise of toxic positivity, the pressure to share feelings on demand, and wellness "coaches" or group facilitators who overstep their roles. These trends often do more harm than good, especially when they try to force emotional experiences or impose their own ide

Erections are a natural part of the male body’s response system. Yet, many men feel awkward or uncertain about them. At INTOUCHMEN, we believe that getting hard should never be an issue or a source of shame. Understanding how erections work and embracing them as a normal, beautiful part of male anatomy can change the way men relate to their bodies and to each other. Celebrating the natural state of the male body How Erections Work in the Male Body The male penis becomes erect

When it comes to men's massage, tantric massage, or sensual massage for men, one factor stands above all: clear communication and consent. Without this foundation, what should be a relaxing and enjoyable experience can quickly become uncomfortable or even unsettling. Both the giver and receiver of touch must openly share their preferences and boundaries to keep the session respectful, fun, and aligned. Why Communication Matters in Men's Bodywork Men’s bodywork involves physic

When I first started exploring men's body work and massage, I quickly realized how diverse men's bodies truly are. We often hear about body types—ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph—but what do these terms really mean? More importantly, how can understanding these types deepen our appreciation for the beauty of diversity in men's bodies? At INTOUCHMEN, we celebrate this variety by encouraging hands-on experience with different body types. Moving from massaging an endomorph’s

When men reach out to me as a massage educator, one of the first things I notice is how they ask for touch. Some want sensual or tantric massage, while others immediately request sexual or erotic bodywork. This difference is more than just a preference—it reveals what they truly seek and whether I can meet their needs. Understanding the distinction between sensual touch and sexual exploration is essential for anyone interested in men's wellness and sexual wellness. It helps s

When I was invited by a well known sex focused men's group in New York City to lead a workshop on men's bodywork I decided to take a different approach. Instead of emphasizing sexual touch, I wanted to explore how touch could deepen connection and healing beyond physical intimacy. What happened next surprised everyone. The workshops sold out quickly, and the men who attended were amazed by the power their hands held—not just for pleasure, but for communication, relaxation, an

Nudity in a group setting can feel intimidating, especially for men who often carry insecurities about their bodies and penis size. At INTOUCHMEN, we understand these feelings deeply. Many men hesitate to be naked around others because of self-consciousness, but our experience shows that embracing vulnerability in a supportive environment can transform those fears into confidence. Cardboard boxes travel on a conveyor belt within a warehouse, highlighting an effective packagin

When you enter an INTOUCHMEN gathering, your eyes immediately scan the room. You notice the men around you and start imagining how their touch might feel. You might already decide who you think you will enjoy receiving a massage from and who you won’t, all before their hands even make contact with your skin. This natural tendency to judge by appearance or vibe can limit your experience. What often happens next is surprising: the person you least expected becomes the source of

Finding safe spaces where men of different ages can explore the art of touch and bodywork together is more than a wellness trend. It is a vital practice that fosters connection, healing, and growth. Men’s wellness benefits deeply when men come together in supportive environments that encourage conscious touch, mentorship, and shared learning. These spaces break down stereotypes and build a brotherhood that spans generations. Why Safe Spaces for Touch Matter for Men Men often

When I first started working with men's groups and exploring men's wellness, I noticed something about the language we use. The word coach often comes up, but I find myself drawn to the word guide instead. This choice is not just semantics. It reflects a deeper philosophy about how I see men's work, especially in spaces like Massage and Bodywork, men's yoga, and men's meditation. A guide helps someone walk their own path, while a coach tends to shape someone into a predefin
