OK, on behalf of any Massage Therapist and more specifically male Massage Therapists who are "legit" I have to say to the ladies:
1) We are not checking out your body while you are on the table.
There is plenty of work for us to do and, while we do not have doctorates, we are focused on giving your muscles a chance to recuperate a little from the stress of your life. We have seen every type of body before, there is no reason for you to be embarrassed or to think that we are giving a second thought to your form. We are not there to "check you out."
2) Please do not proposition us!!!
All men are not dogs. We are not all trying to have sex with whoever will let us! The marriage proposals happen WAY too often and are a little unnerving. Meanwhile, saying "will you have an affair with me" (or more bluntly descriptive versions of the same sentiment) is just weird!
3) Please let the professional in the room set the nature and level of bodily contact
What does this mean?
First, my body belongs to the LORD and to my future wife! PLEASE DO NOT GRAB ME!!! I understand that at certain points during the massage, my "masculine parts" are closely within reach, but THAT IS NOT AN INVITATION FOR YOU TO "HANDLE" ME!!!! It is rude. It is not what I'm there for. And, it is technically sexual assault!
Second, if I say get under the sheet, GET UNDER THE DAGGONE SHEET!!! I don't need you to uncover your breasts for me to be able to massage your pectoral muscles! I don't need you to flash me for me to be able to work on your thighs and gluteal muscles. I will uncover what I need to uncover and nothing more. I do need to uncover parts of you while I am working on you, but let me do it!
4) Please don't broadcast the occurrence of any biological reactions
If you have an orgasm, I am happy for you, but that was NOT an intentional result of my massage. Please do not loudly share that with anyone who is in my office when you leave the massage room! And if you have multiples, PLEASE don't give me a nickname because of it!!! That is just wrong! (and it is embarrassing) I have a name, please call me by it.
OK, I think I'm done.
Please ladies!!!
Help us to overcome the stigma that prostitutes have given to the massage profession. A Massage Therapist is an Health Professional. We do accept tips, but sexual favors are NOT TIPS!!! We are not whores, please do not treat us as such. Thanks!
