What is Closer?

In our daily lives, non-sexual physical closeness between men is often rare. Closer was created to offer a mindful, grounded, and structured setting where you can offer and receive massage and conscious touch.

Led by systemic counselor Idán Sagiv Richter, the evening guides you through gentle warm-ups, boundary exercises, consent practices, and structured massage exchanges. Your nervous system will thank you!

  • ❖ Non-sexual space: Focused purely on grounding, relaxation, and connection.
  • ❖ Inclusive: Open to cis men, trans men, and non-binary people (TIN inclusive).
  • ❖ Consent-first: You are always in full control of your boundaries.

FAQ & Guidelines

❖ Is this a sexual event?
No, this is strictly a non-sexual event. While we value and celebrate sexuality, this space is dedicated to grounding, relaxation, and non-sexual connection. We ask everyone to refrain from genital touch and kissing. Natural physical responses (like emotional releases or erections) can happen and are completely normalized—simply let them be.
❖ Who is this event for?
Trans men are an integral part of these events alongside mostly cis men. We use he/him pronouns for everyone in the space unless specified otherwise. Respect and gender affirmation are foundational here.
❖ What should I bring & wear?
  • Clothing: Wear comfortable clothes that allow movement (e.g., shorts, tank top, and clean socks).
  • Essentials: A water bottle.
  • Towel/Sheet: If you tend to sweat, please bring a towel or clean sheet for your mat.
❖ How do I prepare?
Please shower before coming, and avoid strong perfumes or deodorants. Try not to arrive very hungry or immediately after a heavy meal. Arrive 5–10 minutes early so you can change and settle in before we start together.
