Yesterday I had another enquiry from a male asking if I did 'extras'. It's not the first time and, unfortunately, it won't be the last - it's all too common for my tastes and I'm incredibly lucky that I've managed to flush out prospective pervs during the enquiry process and not had to challenge it face to face.
Is there anything, as an industry, we can do about this? I had a google to see if it was reportable but all I came across were articles about "masseurs" that provide happy endings and the folk that visit them These enquiries are disrespectful and hilarious at the same time - but I'm very concerned (as a solo worker) that some perv turns up in my cabin and asks for a private massage, we shouldn't have to deal with that kind of nonsense.
I've been wracking my brain to see if there's something I can do - I thought about putting a notice on my FB page but felt it would just gather shock value rather than have any positive effect - although our massage lecturers warned us that these guys are out there, it's not something that's talked about in general public and my non-industry friends and family are always stunned that it happens at all.
