The 7 Steps this Male Massage Therapist Took to Make a Successful Massage Therapy Career—Despite Client Misperceptions
As a male massage therapist, I understand fully good the stigma and disadvantages of existence a male in this industry. Prior in my career I became privy to “the look” by clients.
The see of disapproval and despair.
The look indicating unease that random chance brought this unsuspecting client together with me.
The glance that always shot a dagger through me.
“Wait, a male therapist?”
“Can I earn a female therapist?”
“You need to report clients if the therapist is male. I need to prepare myself.”
“He improved be good.”
I heard these sentiments—yes, even that last one—often in my first few years as a therapist. Scenarios like this can be frustrating.

A Common Male Physiological Response to Massage
It is very common for men to get an erection during a non-sexual, therapeutic, complete body massage. While an erection can be indicative of being physiologically aroused, it does not necessarily indicate the presence of emotional or sexual want. Touch administered to any part of the body can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which can result in a partial or complete erection.

While the notion of lying on a massage table with a raised flag might feel mortifying, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Most professional massage therapists will likely understand that erections are a common physical response to intense relaxation and will do their best to put you at ease.

Erections can occur when something makes you think about sex or turns you on, but they can also occur spontaneously when you’re sleeping or when something touches the genital region.

Not to mention, like all massage therapists, I put up with a seemingly endless stream of "happy ending" jokes all. the. time. And while everyone thinks these jokes are hilarious, the reality is that every massage therapist does have to deal with a few sexually heightened moments with male clients over the course of his or her career. But let me just state that boners during massage appointments are totally normal. So to all the guys out there: You don't need to be embarrassed. There is no need to dart out of the room. Most massage therapists are professionals and won't just stare at your hard-on. We really don't want you to feel any more uncomfortable than you already are. So just loosen -- and know that we are not judging you. That said, there are some lines that shouldn't be crossed. What execute I mean by that? Let me break it down for you There Is No Need For Present And Tell Wow sir, I see you have an
