i agree. i feel it would be a bit of a distraction. and even more so if he's cute. ;)
i am curious to hear from those that have done sessions without draping to get a sense of how that felt.
We must drape in WI. and I must admit, I'm pretty happy about that!!
Sounds like you handled the situation the best you could, by explaining your feelings. He can look for someone who is happy to oblige assuming your state allows. No one wants to 'turn away' business but as you already stated...if you are not comfortable, you won't be doing your best work.
It really is as simple as that in any situation. If something has made a client uncomfortable they won't be happy and if WE are uncomfortable we aren't doing the best we can for that client.
Clients choose different therapists for different reasons and having to pick because of draping, or not, is just another choice they have. You'll have PLENTY of clients that pick you because it is a standard that you set for yourself.
That's just my 2 cents!!!
I'm just surprised by all the people who don't know what the draping law is in their own state.
Whether it is the law or not, I wouldn't do massage without a drape. I normally use sheet draping, although I have used towels for people who complain about being too warm covered with a sheet.
As for being distracting, what if the (cute, or not) man in question was the most well-endowed person you've ever seen? Are you going to avoid looking at that? Don't ask for trouble.
the "cute thing" was just a joke...just for the record. :)
