personally I wouldnt have an issue with them being naked but civered with a towel, I would not however like to have an ass staring me in the face while I massage, but for me personally its because I think I would get nervous then or if I seen a male got aroused and I have a tendancy to giggle when im nevous which would completely ruin the massage for the client

A friend of mine always takes his pants off AND wants a tummy massage AND it is VERY noticeable that he enjoys the massage, does annoy me a bit, as it gets in the way pmsl :), but he ain't a perv

I take it all in my stride Whitesnake, we do have a joke about it, and I still get paid lol 🙂
My husband would empathise with you there V! He's always complaining he doesn't get to sample the goods.
Thanks for the support, or understanding anyway. I was having a friendly poke, and it did get read - but with a pithy remark not to repeat here, so nothing will change ...? :confused:

Personally I only massage clients if they are wearing full outdoor weather gear preferably Barbo*r Jackets and Trews because they absorb the oil so much better and maintain the dignity of the client and myself.
LOL LOL

I have massaged both sexes in various states of dress and undress - it was invariably discussed as to what they felt comfortable with combined with the minimum to enable me to give an effective massage. Although I have never used my qualification in a business / paid sense but for friends and colleagues - my attitude to the males in particular if the situation arose - was - "if you can't lie flat on your front then that is your personal problem not mine" or words to that effect. Any unwitting response was dismissed in a light hearted manner.
I agree that if you are doing bodywork you should be expecting to see bodies but there is always a fine line between exposed for comfort and effectiveness of the treatment and nudity for the thrill or exhibitionism effect.
As for being exposed to a bare ass Holisticbabe - better that than some of the gruesome feet you see...euuuuuu
I think I forgot to add that this particular man wanted more that a no pants massage if you know what I mean.He wanted his privates massage!. I have no problem with the male body and not a prude nudety does not offend me what so ever. Its mean that seem to think that because we do massage we should offer them sexual favours. Thats not what am about think I didn't explain in my tread propally lol.:)

First off thanks for providing an amusing thread and livening things up a bit, always welcome:)
I don't think that men think you SHOULD offer sexual favours (it's not free anyway so not a favour); rather SOME men (and women) are prepared to pay for more than a straight massage. They think that because you do massage you COULD offer sexual relief/Tantra etc. That's why the 'perverts' phone and ask and presumably if you say NO they go away (except your friend that got phoned twice:mad:).

Have you tried hitting it with the back of a spoon Jojo??:D

Kevin, I use a spatula :p
When I was doing night duty nursing - any problems with tents in the bedding on male orthopaedics were solved with a quick spray of Right Guard deodorant under the bedclothes. Not sure why it had to be Right Guard - but it got Pavlovian in the end! (no - not the meringue!)
Lol right guard bet that would make it sting abit. A spatular is a great idea hows about a rolled up magazine.
A few years ago I was contacted by a gent who asked if I'd be comfortable giving him a massage while he was naked. After explaining that he could be naked, but a modesty hand towel would be used for both his comfort and mine he started breathing heavy and talking in such a low pitch I could no longer understand him.
He liked the thought of getting a massage a little too much... that's what I call a pervert!
I didnt think it was unusual to be massaged while naked.
I personaly do not have a problem massaging nude and undrapped it is actualy a lot easier to massage especially when doing the buttocks. There is nothing worse then worrying if you are going to twang the clients back side with his or her underwear when trying to massage that area and makes me even more nervous than seeing a nakid but looking up at me 🙂 Yes you do get the pervert who wants the happy ending and thinks if he asks just one more time that you will go oh alright then and the other one who wants to do his own hand relief but with you watching.... some strange folk! But there are the genuine ones who just like to be nakid and yes they do sometimes get a reaction but it is just a normal bodily function and as long as they do not expect anything at the end then I am perfectly happy to massage them. On the other side of this though is what other therapists think of what I do, when I say I will massage nakid and undrapped they look at ME like I am perverted and treat me like I should not be in the business so sometimes I feel I can't win. But in the end it is my clients that count and as long as they continue to enjoy my therapies and I continue to have a line I will not cross then that is all that matters.

Hi Kaspa. It's good to hear such an enlightened attitude. Keep doing what your doing and ignore the criticism from your less enlightened colleagues. It's not their fault. It's western societies fault. This has taught us that the naked human body is somehow shameful.
As far as erections are concerned, they are a normal reaction. We all get the thrill seekers. I'm talking about the genuine client looking for healing. I've had ladies leave a damp patch behind. There is no way I would consider them perverse. It's a reaction they had at that time and may never happen again. We are dealing with much more than soft tissue when we lay our hands on another human being and they will take from the experience whatever they need to. As long as the boundaries have been well established there can be no harm.
