For xmas i was given a gift certificate for a 1 hour massage and a spa pedicure at the most expensive and reputable salon in Sydney, rang them and they would prefer i was naked for the massage. I'm not concerned, i just wanted to know. If the therapist is experienced enough they are practically magicians with the towels and if Mr Happy became happy, no-one with be any the wiser. If naked was a problem, just get heavier towels.
I would never expect the therapist to be naked, unless of course i was visiting or expecting a different kind of massage.
This is of course from a male point of view (not many men will answer this thread) and me being a gay man, all I want is to leave feeling good/relaxed, i'm not looking for a happy ending.
If I were female and someone called me asking if they( the therapist was gonna be naked) I'd refer them to an establishment offering that kind of service and i'd expect a referral fee. Maybe you should set this kind of thing up with a less reputable establishment and make money from referrals.

Rolleyes no towels and no underwear!!! - 03-01-07, 06:07 PM

when i first opened my salon i had quite a number of calls (i htink form the smae men/man?) asking whether i accept male clients. he went on to say he didint like being covered with towels etc. i also had another man ask if he had to wear underwear and when i replied yes he said he didnt own any and couldnt see the point in going out buying any. it is of course upto each client and therapist as to the limits that they accept. i personally declined to offer massage to any of these men. i think some men try to shock you when they phone up. remember, you are the therapist, with the knowledge, you are well trained and it is your call. only perform treatments on clients that you are comfrtable with. some therapists may offer this service and i feel that this is ok as long as the therapist is happy in their conduct. hope this makes sense.
it may be as well to find someone in your area who can offer this type of massage so that you sound professional and can refer them onto someone else.

hi, thanks for replys

well keep thinking wether or not to do men....not sure if hubby is ok with really but there are more men ringing than woman at the mo, is this mormal?

hope im adversising ok...my web is where i get lots of calls and im in yellow pages. I havent had any funny calls yet but if a man calls i get a bit nervous but i do ask questions. I do want to do men as men need massage just as much as woman and sometimes even more so depending on work.

do many of you do male massage if if they call what sort of questions should i ask besides....

why are you wanting a massage?

Surprised male clients on the increase?!? - 03-01-07, 07:36 PM

hi
my client base is now split 60-40. 60% are female with the remainig 40% male clients.
when i first started out in my business , if a male client rang i would tell him that i would have a chaperone present in the waiting area and this would put most weirdos off.
safety is a very important factor when working alone. i am very fortunate that my salon/clinic is below my flat so i just pretend that my boyf is in upstairs. it is important to feel comfortable with the clients you are treating. if you dont then this may come across through your massage.
it is important that male clients have asscess to massage. go with your gut instinct. if they are starnge during the consutlation, just be professional and tell them that you dont feel that you are able to treat them and ask them to leave.

good luck

when i used to work at a health spa i had this english bloke in for a massage, he was there for the day with his thai wife, anyway, the spa was designed with thailand and the east in mind and alot of the treatments have thai related names. So this guy was in for a Pattaya back massage, when i got him to my treatment room i explained to take his t-shirt off, leave his trousers on and lay face down on the couch while i waited outside. when i go back in the room he is stood by the couch with his top off trousers are still on thank god! I just thought that maybe he didn't understand my intructions so i asked asked him to lay on the couch face down and i began the massage.
While we were chatting i noticed that he had put £3 by the sink, thats nice i thought tipping me beforehand he must have regular massages. After about 5 mins he tells me that that he knows thailand very well cuz his wife is thai and the place Pattaya is mainly known for the sex trade so he thought a Pattaya massage was a massage with extras!!! He said that he booked it to see what happened. I sort of laughed it off with him and explained that weren't that kind of establishment. I finished his treatment early cuz i wanted him outta there!! After he had gone i went back in my room ro tidy up and noticed he took the £3 with him!!!! The dirty cheap perv, he thought i was a hooker and he was only gunna give me £3!!!!
The manager of the spa told him he wasn't allowed back.

why are you wanting a massage?
I seem to have more men than women come for massages and I too have started to wonder whether its something to do with my leaflets (how they are presented maybe). I hadven't had anyone odd come and only have male clients when my husband is home for safety reasons.
I surpose all you can do is sound and be as professional as possible and most people will get the right idea.
It would be a shame to be put off by the odd bad experience.

A few months ago, local salons here were being harrassed by a male requesting body waxing, then as the therapist walked into the room to start the service he would expose himself & run.... We were really looking forward to his call & arrival as we had our capture all worked out.....

Around the same time a local therapist here was sacked for playing I'll show you mine.
Apparently the subject turned to body piercing & when said therapist mentioned where else she has adornments, the client asked to see!!! So she obliged & carried on.
Unfortunately though the client rehashed the complete episode at the reception desk on the way out!!!!

Im sure that after a few of these types of phone calls you'll have your words chosen for a polite to the point response.

PMSL I can see you all now waiting to capture him !!

If he calls again tell him that you do a naturist massage but although you are not naked for the treatment you can dress up as Bill Oddy if he prefers.
