I have only had a couple of massages but that to me was inappropriate and it also would not surprise me if it was against the law.

I've lost count but I've had 10 to 12 massages in Las Vegas and what you described has never happened to me.

I have lost count of the massage therapists I have visited now but the first therapist I ever went to did this so I thought it was the norm for a long time. On my first visit she told me draping was optional. It was warm so I didn't bother.

Since then I have often wondered why other therapists always ask me to slide in under the towel. I am there for a rubdown and don't care but I always find myself wondering if they are going to remove it but they never do.

The person I go to now doesn’t bother anymore. I have been seeing him for two years and he knows my comfort zone and moves the towel around for better access so I am often fully exposed.

Most guys will get an erection when their thighs are worked over well. It's a natural consequence of the process "at least for me". I don't worry about it anymore, I’m just there to have the knots worked out and I'm not shy. I also request stretching and a big body towel really gets in the way.

As long as she didn't touch you anywhere inappropriately I wouldn’t worry about it. It's rare to find a therapist who is comfortable with this; it’s defiantly not standard practice.

My best advice is to go see her again and leave a big tip...

"It was a massage parlor,"

She was probably not a LMT. Most states have strict draping laws. LMT can lose their license. In some states, the massage can be done without draping if both parties agree. I'm sure it occurs from time to time when a client has seen an LMT many times and is comfortable that they are not their for a "happy ending" massage.

I don't know what laws govern practices at a salon that offers massages.


I have had regular massages at high end salons in my city for years. While I have only ever had a female masseuse my level of comfort WRT nudity was always first and foremost on the agenda of the masseuse.
