MASSAGE
LONDON AND SEX - NOT INTENDED FOR SEXUAL AROUSAL Although the word "massage" has been used as a convenient cover-up for illicit sex, Massage Therapy - as a health profession - is never intended to provide a sexual experience any more than a gynecological examination, a prostate examination, or a discussion of sexuality between patient and sex therapist is intended to lead to sexual involvement between client and therapist. And while sexuality is an important aspect of the human experience - something that should be widely researched and responsibly discussed around the world - the boundaries of sex and sexuality lie outside the realm of any professional-quality massage practice. Mistakenly and so
sadly, consumers of illicit sex are often led to believe that
massage therapists are only happy to put up with the sex needs of
their clients. Most massage therapists, however, couldn't be further
from practicing massage with some kind of an underlying sexual
agenda. Even (or especially) when massage is indicated for the treatment of a sexual problem or for recovery from sexual trauma, the professional boundaries remain clear and unequivocal. Massage Therapy is not intended for sexual arousal whatsoever. While massage involves the manipulation of soft tissue, it does not involve the client's or patient's private parts. Private body parts should be covered by a sheet, a towel, or by the client's clothes at all times. Indeed, most people
understand that they cannot act on a sexual urge regardless of the
circumstances under which such urge occurs. If you've read nothing
else on this website, please be aware that sexual behaviour between
client and massage therapist - physical, or even verbal, or even by
gestures only - is unacceptable. Mental health experts agree that, in general, an individual who feels compelled to break work-related boundaries is likely to come with the emotional baggage of low-self esteem and control problems. And understanding such emotional problems doesn't make an inappropriate sexual behaviour more acceptable. Whether during the
massage session or even just via phone inquiries,
professional-quality massage therapists - like other health
professionals - have every right to work without the nuisance and
abuse of the misguided sexual intentions of perpetrating,
misinformed individuals.
