"Thus far, no one has ever asked me that"

From discussions I have had from other massage therapists, you just haven't been doing it long enough. It is only a matter of time. :0 Ew!

Heh. Well, I think people are rarely that direct. I think Gabe misses the point of subtlety. ;) I've had people make allusions, but nothing too bad..

Well, we do get specific training around this. In fact, it involved role playing.. which was actually kind of hilarious.

The basic steps are:

-remove hands
-step back
-address comment/movement/behavior
-state clear boundaries

From there, it's up to you whether you immediately end the session or continue. For me, it depends on WHAT was said/done, and how the client reacts to my direct communication with them.

I double-dog dare you to print that out and hang it in your massage room.
