If you are new to massage therapy, it is likely that you will have some questions. Since people are often unaccustomed to massage therapy environments, you might feel embarrassed to ask your questions. Therefore, the following article addresses the five most embarrassing massage questions:
Do I Have to Be Naked?
People are normally unaccustomed to being nude in front of others. This is because they feel vulnerable and awkward, as though they don’t know how to act. However Massage Therapists are very used to nudity and are unfazed by it, since they are professionals and it is a routine part of their job.
Could You Avoid a Certain Body Part?
Many people ask for the Massage Therapist to avoid a certain body part. This is because they are embarrassed of this body part, or they view it as being ugly or in some manner unattractive. Massage Therapists are very used to this request and they do not mind avoiding a certain body part if it is the customer’s request.
Is it Customary to Tip a Massage Therapist?
It is customary to tip a Massage Therapist since they are providing a service.
What Am I Supposed to Do During a Massage?
Some people really feel that they don’t know what is expected of them during the massage itself. They don’t want to do the wrong thing. In actuality, most people merely close their eyes and do nothing but relax. If they want to talk, fine, but many people do not talk during a massage.
Is Sex in Any Way Part of the Massage in This Facility?
There are some establishments where sex does become part of a massage. However, this is not legal and it is not a true part of Massage Therapy. Be sure your Massage Therapist is licensed and then this will not be a problem.
The above are some embarrassing massage questions. From questions about sex and nudity to customs regarding tipping of therapists and massage therapy conduct, all of these questions have been asked before. Do not feel embarrassed for any question that you may want to ask. You are the customer and it is your prerogative to glean any information that you may feel you need. Just ask your questions clearly without embarrassment and you can get your answers and move on with your relaxing massage.
