Lisa, Benny Hill popped into MY head, too. (Sorry, Stephen!)
Rosemary, blackberry brandy is good, and if mixed with an additional shot of whiskey, it makes a Coon Dog...which WILL make ya howl.
Samantha,since this is the rowdy group, and I'm not ashamed to mention here that I have admired some very handsome musculature in the privacy of my own brain! With my mouth closed, of course...I don't think drooling is dignified.
As for underwear, I usually call them knickers, it gives midwesterners a giggle.

wow...in reading all this i'm actually surprised at how many of your clients keep a piece of clothing on. all of my clients completely disrobe. even the one that held out in the first session. i wonder if it has to do with the different types of clientelle we all have. or maybe a combination of us and clientelle. most of my clients are activey, mid 20's to mid 40's with a handful a little older. most are bike riders.
Stephen why do i have an image of Benny Hill MT in my head!!??? hahaha

Some of my female clients have been coming for years n years, so I like to turn it into a bit of a laugh by making them think I'm going to get undressed at the same time as them....... I then make like John Cleese as basil fawlty and say ..sorry.. sorry.... I was getting confused? and make my exit ...... .oh how we do like to laugh...................funny thing is I didn't seem to get such a laugh outa my male clients, so stopped it way back.

My standard phrasing is for them to "get undressed to your comfort level." Clients that are new to massage often want to know what is the "right" amount of nudity; I tell them that about half my clients get completely undressed, about half of them don't. The important part is that the client be able to relax.
When discussing what they may or may not want to leave on, I use the term "underwear." If a client wears her bra, I ask her if she would like me to adjust the straps or unhook it for a long stroke down her back. I generally ask after doing a couple of careful "speed bump" strokes so they can mentally compare and contrast what they have felt with what it most probably will feel like.

Gerry- I go the underwear route with a side note that I will need them to take their bra off to be able to get the full back massaged properly. Also, I think it depends on the age of the client. Some of the older gentlemen I work on, I automatically call them "skivvies". I always tuck the sheet into the top of the underwear when doing the back and this lets them know where the boundry line is established.

Holy Panties, seems I missed a lot while I was working! I have two clientwho leave their bras on every time, but remove the panties. Go figure. The have been coming for years and I always just move the straps out of the way when they're supine, and ask permission before I unhook the back when they're prone...I just have to assume they have their reasons, so I've just left it alone! Sheesh. It's sunny & cold here in MI today, good blackberry brandy weather!

oh and on a side note...the one client that left clothing on...actually left a tank top on and no underwear. go figure. she was more self conscious about her back than her gluts. :) but after the first session, all subsequent sessions she completely unrobed.
