A vigorous kneading or rubbing of one person's body, most frequently the shoulders and back, by the hands of a friend or acquaintance. Usually exchanged between college or high school students with seemingly platonic motivations. Sometimes preceded by a light comfort stroke of reassurance.
Joe: "Boy, you look sore, Sarah. Why don't I help relax those achy muscles?" <Moves to place his hands on her shoulders>
Sarah: "No dice - I can see through your pathetic attempt at a college massage, Joe, and I'm not interested."

A kindly caress or pat on the back between friends or acquaintances intended to relax the recipient. It is most often employed to soothe emotions of frustration or worry. Though usually isolated from other physical contact and devoid of lascivious intent, the comfort stroke may sometimes form the beginning of a more sensuous college massage.
Christina: "Damn it, I can't believe that jerk ditched me for Yvonne!"
Blake: "Wow... Calm yourself. Here -" <Gives her a quick comfort stroke.> "Just take it easy, okay?"
Christina: "Boy did I need that comfort stroke. Now I can plan my revenge with a clear mind."
Blake: "Any time."
