Massage Therapy Etiquette & Addressing Physical Concerns

Question
Hi,

If it's ok to rquest a massage without any draping. Oh and are erections a problem, since they can't be helped?

Thank you,
John.

Answer
Hi John,

Most massage therapists will drape because we don't want to expose more of the patient that needs to be exposed.  If you request not to be draped there is an extremely good chance that your request will be denied.

True erections can't be helped. If you do happen to have an erection during a massage treatment and the therapist does notice then the treatment will stop until you calm down. However if you are seeking massage for sexual pleasure then I suggest not going at all because that is disrespecting both yourself and the therapist.

Let me know if you need anything else.
