RE: naturist massage
Hi,
In any earlier posted I did point out that too often us "BRITS" with our Victorian attitudes too often associate nudity with sex .... perhaps one day we will not ?.
But take another slant on this ..... by being naked then there is nothing to hide, what you see is what you get ... no mystery .... no wondering what I would look like out of my massage uniform ..... by being naked the titillation of being clothed is removed ... if that makes sense ...
Besides the people who are my customers are normally from the naturist community and being naked in the company of other is ... natural ....
Julie 🙂
RE: naturist massage
hi Julie, yes i tottally agree with you, very good point - we should go with what we feel , and if thats being naked then so be, nothing wrong with that.:):D:)
RE: naturist massage
Ifind that a small number clients who are having a massage from the clothed therapists get the "wrong idea" just the same as they do with the naturist massage, some just do not know how to handle touch, they think that touch = sexual. most are able to just relax and enjoy the full mind and body stimulation that is a massage without relating it to sex
RE: naturist massage
Hi all
I have just been reading this thread and have to agree with whoever said that us brits still keep our victorian principles with us to this day. There is nothing wrong with nudity, even for a massage. Myself, I prefer to be massaged naked as I feel more relaxed that way. Adam and Eve were in the buff until they did wrong and then they became concious of their nudity. Perhaps it is because we are to concious of our own bodies.
When I did my I.T.E.C. course in London we were expected to strip off for the massage. We were of course covered by a towel for the massage. Some of the girls were a bit uncomfortable with this but by the end of the course we all took it in our stride. Incidentley we were taught to massage around the breasts which I dont think many schools teach today.
RE: naturist massage
Yes, Julie, we agree with you too - both wife and I have received naturist massages and we thoroughly enjoyed them.
RE: naturist massage
Seems to me we Brits do have 'body image' problems. We worry too much about what other people will think. I had a face and neck treatment at my beautician yesterday and took my bra off - far more comfortable than undoing and leaving it. She massaged my neck and shoulders and upper chest and I said I did not mind her going further. Towel was pulled down and she massaged the whole of my breast area as well. It was a lovely feeling and the only thing that made me keep the towels on the rest of me was that the room was not too warm. Having had massages done the 'proper' British way and some with me naked- I opt for naked every time. It feels wonderful to have no clothes digging in or twisting and no towels itching me.
There was an article in the latest Good Housekeeping magazine with 5 normal women shown naked - one showed her mastectomy, covering her other breast. They were women of various ages who had born children and were happy in their skins regardless of shape or size. Now that is how we should all have the confidence to be!
RE: naturist massage
Hi all,
I know there are naturists out there who do like a good massage and like to be naked and undraped. However,a word of caution.This is another way for a bloke to ask if you do extras. I get them occasionally and if you ask a few questions you soon realise that what they want is you naked and extras!!

RE: naturist massage
Looks like Wendyehoff has joined the 'lets tarnish all men with the same brush' attitude which is becoming rife through alot of recent threads.Wendy said in her thread 'you soon realise that what they want is you naked and extras!! .I looked on your website,sorry i would gladly receive a sports massage from you but icertainly would not want to see you naked.Thosewho were looking for extras would know where togo i can't see guys turning up at salons or therapy roomshoping to get lucky unless your number hasbeen advertised in an adult section of a local paper.

Scorpio - please see my response to you in the other thread.

I think that your post above is insulting to Wendy and irrelevant. As I said in the other thread, I've had some weird requests and often want to say 'Look, I'm a 47 year old mother of two grown up children, etc. etc., but these people aren't normal and I think get a kick out of making the phone call - not sure all of them would take it any further.
But these dodgy calls have nothing to do with what the therapist looks like or where they advertise. These people are just plain weird.
But they are in the minority and no-one is saying that all men are like that, but when, as a therapist, you get a call from a man you have never spoken to before, you have to be alert and aware of possible dangers.
Incidentally, in my experience, very few women use a therapist they've found in the Yellow Pages - they would far rather have a recommendation.

I looked on your website,sorry i would gladly receive a sports massage from you but i certainly would not want to see you naked.
Scorpio,
What exactly does this sort of personal attack on a fellow HP member add to the debate? Would you care to share a photo of yourself so we can all make a similar value judgement about you?

RE: naturist massage
Oh my God I am really shocked!!!
I do thousands of leaflet drops for my business and advertise inthe appropriate sections of the local press but yes occasionally I do get phone calls asking for a naturist massage as I'm sure other professional therapists do.Some use the words naturist massage to disguise what they really want.I was just trying to say that with a few questions you can weed them out.
I certainly do not have a problem with male clients who are at least50% of my sports massage business and they are all happy with the professional service I provide. My looks have nothing to do with it and I am insultedand totally gobsmacked by your comments!
Frankly I find your post insulting and very unprofessional and I will say again that your comments about my looks arecompletely irelevant.
Also just a thank you to everyone else for your comments.
Wendy
RE: naturist massage
I've just had a look at your postings to other threads Scorpio, which really aren't very nice. If you can't say anything constructive then I'm sure I speak for other HP members, don't say anything at all. You just slate people all the time.
