We therapists don't think anything of boners, particularly if the client doesn't make a big deal of it.

Edit: Yes, I was using general terms, and no, I'm not a doctor, so if the physiology is wrong, I'm sorry. This is what I was taught, and I'm open to constructive criticism, so please give me a chance to redeem myself before you say I'm not fit to be talking about massage. Please disregard any explanation given by me on the physiological response of the engorgement of the penis.

The way I was taught, therapists are made sure to have conservative draping techniques (the way the sheet is folded and tucked over a client) so the client is comfortable, able to relax, and does not take anything more from the touch than a professional tissue manipulation to benefit the health of the body.

If the guy is being lewd, I'm able to end the session. I've never had it happen to me yet, but I've had to talk to a couple people about the way they were talking in-session. I'm in a vulnerable position, as is the client for that matter. If either of us does/says anything on the sexual side and the client has an issue later, all the officials have is the words of each of us, and the client has more weight. I try to protect myself professionally as much as possible. It's really easy for me to lose my license.

Not at all. ^ ^ It's probably the most-asked question, and a very valid one. I never get tired of answering it, and always have something to add to it if people want to keep talking.

Most guys are super embarrassed that they got a boner, if it happens, and usually the therapist is the calm one in the situation. We're trained to look at the body as a body, not as a sexual object.

A mistake people make is using their muscle all the time. Give your hands a break and use the fatty pads of your forearms to just kinda lean on the person in front of you. You may have to sit up more, but using your weight to bear down on the person gives good weight to the stroke without any energy spent on your part.

Other than that, make a fist, and pinch your first finger's first knuckle with the pad of your thumb. Use the tip of your thumb to go after pesky knots instead of using your fingertips. Saves your fingers, and the position really supports your thumb.

Hmm... I work near a naval base, so I get lots of lonely military guys when the subs come in. It's kinda funny sometimes, because a guy will casually mention it inquisitively, testing the waters, but I can tell he's actually interested. I feel for the guy in a way, and it makes me smile a little because there's no way in hell it'd happen. I let him know it's totally professional, and if he wants to have that done, he needs to find another woman, in more or less words. Usually it doesn't come to telling him off, and I'm usually mid-massage, so I just turn the subject and act like it never came up, partially to save him embarrassment.

I don't get the question/comment about happy endings often, really. I think I haven't had anyone mention it this month, though I do get a lot of return clientele, so most know me enough already to not ask silly questions haha.

I see a couple really good questions were just posted, and I'm getting ready for work now. I really wanted to post this notice so people know I see their interest and I'll return it, but duty calls! Thank you all so much for showing interest, and I really look forward to talking to you all. <3 ^ ^
