Do males massage therapists ever feel uncomfortable massaging other men?

I read a lot about how male massage therapists face discrimination. Women prefer to be massaged by other women and most men prefer to be massaged by women.

On the flip side, I'm sure most straight male massage therapists would rather massage a women, however, do they ever feel uncomfortable massaging and rubbing another dude? Can he rub and touch him in places such as inner thighs and glutes and be comfortable with that? Can a straight male massage therapist be nurturing to another male? If so would he then really be gay?

I haven't seen this addressed anywhere.
