More About Me (Therapeutic Directory)
Current Status
Danny and I (Campbell) bought our house in Asheville, North Carolina in 2021. It's 3 minutes from the (Omni) Grove Park Inn for those of you who get up here or better yet live here. Prior to that we lived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for 20 years in a number of properties.
Massage exchange is something I enjoy and am very grateful for. Dan doesn't participate and is likely not to be around during exchange sessions. He has other, wonderful passions.
I'm a fairly lean, muscular, hairy guy who now goes to the gym about 3 times a week and PT the other days of the week, with the goal of maintaining what I have and building back what I've lost during Covid and 7 bionic surgeries. I've loved a variety of sports over the years, and have paid the price for that love. I like to think that just as I get relief from massage, that I can reciprocate to others. It's an incredible healing tool, spiritual, transformative ... depending on the connection of the partners and the space you're in.
A Massage Partner
I like a man who takes pride in his body, expecially if he's disciplined enough to meet physical challenges. I like the natural smell of a man, showered with natural soap, but no strong deodorants, colognes or other perfumes, please. With regard to a partner, I'd much prefer a very hairy man to one that shaves his body; and I'd like a partner that, in any case, cares about oral hygiene. On occasion, I've invited a partner to shower with me or squeezed some toothpaste or took a swig of mouthwash and shared it. It may be awkward at first, but then again it may turn into a kiss.
Massage Environments
Massage environments may include a dimly lit room, the sound of water, candlelight and calming, soft music. Hot towels, hot rocks or other niceties are great, but the most important ingredient in any massage is the silence between two men. Think about that first touch, and the intention accompanying it.
Initial Meeting
I like to meet a partner over a cup of coffee or a drink and ask them about themselves and about what they like, want and need in a massage. If they ask, I'm happy to reciprocate. An initial meeting is important, as it lays the groundwork for the massage. It's an important time to create some social ease, feel each other's energies and begin building rapport. It's also the time to identify personal boundaries.
Warmly,
Campbell
