<p>Kris I agree with you. We as an industry are allowing pride and our own perceptions to interfere with just being what we want to be. The public and our clients wont understand the professional bruhah. At my place we are sometimes asked if we offer happy endings. We say no, that's not something we do here. They leave to ask somewhere else until they find what they are looking for. No big deal. The requests actually have decreased in recent years not because of a recognition of professionalism…</p>
<p>Kris I agree with you. We as an industry are allowing pride and our own perceptions to interfere with just being what we want to be. The public and our clients wont understand the professional bruhah. At my place we are sometimes asked if we offer happy endings. We say no, that's not something we do here. They leave to ask somewhere else until they find what they are looking for. No big deal. The requests actually have decreased in recent years not because of a recognition of professionalism but because they can narrow down their searches on the internet. My objection to general search engine categories of "happy ending" is that they lump all massage together or at least those that advertise asian modalities. If they did a better job of screening the listings it would stop ordinary ending massage from being asked as often for the happy ending.<br/>And don't think it is only men who ask. Women ask too. But confusion will exist until licensing is tiered 1) Medical Massage, 2) Wellness Massage, 3) Erotic Massage. I do not believe it should be licensed as prostitution. That should be reserved for massageless full service in my opinion.</p> I enjoyed that.

I enjoyed that. Your point of view will no doubt ruffle some feathers. I can't say that I agree with you absolutely, nor can I say that I disagree with you absolutely.<br />

I can understand why some will choose to get up in arms. Sometimes it is frustrating to address people's assumptions about my "reasons" for being a massage therapist. I was recently challenged by such a person, about my career choice, when they said,......<br />

I can understand why some will choose to get up in arms. Sometimes it is frustrating to address people's assumptions about my "reasons" for being a massage therapist. I was recently challenged by such a person, about my career choice, when they said,......<br />
"Come on. Be real. I'm quite sure when you were you were 5 years old and someone asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up, you didn't say that you wanted to be a massage therapist."....<br />
<br />
To which I replied,..... "When I was 5 years old, I wanted to be a princess and marry my grandaddy because he was so funny, let me drive the tractor, and was married to my grandma, who made great cookies! I became a massage therapist because I saw a need, for people like my young daughter, who suffer with chronic pain, and wanted to do my part in helping them to feel better about themselves and their condition and help them to have as many pain free days as possible. That's why I switched careers and began to do this. Not because I love sex so much, that I needed to disguise it and secretly be paid for it. There's a profession for that called prostitution and escorting."<br />

Normally, I find that not everyone is being sarcastic or disrespectful about it, they are merely repaeting things they have heard, seen on tv, or they have read about the 'worst-case scenerios' in some magazine or book. I have come across those that understand that there are 'the other therapist' out there that can make it hard for the real ones, so I completely understand why some people can become so irritated by it. Me, personally, I take it on a case by case situation but will support my industry as much as I can.
