Here's why I posted what I posted yesterday about using the word "Masseuse" and other sexual connotations regarding massage.
There are websites out there, and most of them have the wrong information on them, listing places where you can go to get a "Happy ending." People with bad intentions add massage therapy business names to this website where people can go to find illegal Massage.
While some people might find this funny, please imagine if your name got put on here falsely, and you are a woman getting ready to give a massage to a man in a dark room who expects you to do things that are not legal. It's dangerous and not funny.
Every time you go into a dark room with a massage therapist, you have to have a level of trust and the massage therapist also has to have that as well. I am fortunate enough in my business to feel very comfortable with my clients, but I have been in a situation twice in my career where people have acted inappropriately and I have been lucky enough to be able to get out of that situation. We have a plan in place in my practice if anyone is in danger.
I trained to be a massage therapist in the Seattle area where they have a governing massage board and people who are very serious about making massage non-sexual. This is not a joke to me, or the women that I work with, and we ask that you please support safety in the rooms at all times. Someone's life depends may depend on it.
