Sorry if this seems long winded by my question needs a preface……

My wifes friend from work is a massage therapist. (a legit one, not the kind you hear about on Television cop shows) She is super cool. One of those “free spirit” type women who is very kind and simple to be around. The first time I met her was when my wife set up an appointment for her to come over to the house to give me a massage. She is good at what she does and I admire anyone with that kind of talent.

During the time I was on my back and she was working my quads, she performed a long stroke from the knee all the way up to the hip. In the process, she managed to rub against my penis which was resting on my thigh just below the hip. It caught me off guard since most massages I've had, the therapist stops that stroke 3/4 of the way up the thigh and doesn't go all the way to the hip under the drape. Well wouldn't you know it, that brush with my “manhood” caused my stuff to arise. I had no control at that point. Next thing I know, her hand is directly on top of my semi erection (which is draped with the sheet). It was like she was leaning on my hip for balance but my thing just happened to be there too! She was basically holding it in her hand through the drape. I thought for a second that maybe she was trying to hold it down. I don't know. It was uncommon for sure.
Neither one of us acknowledged it at the time but when the massage was over, and I was laying on the table under the sheet and my wife and her were sitting on the sofa next to the massage table, we’d this “knowing” glance at each other like, “did that really happen?” But nothing was said.

I guess my question is for any therapists out there. Or if anyone getting a massage has experience this, chime in.

Do you therapists normally continue a stroke all the way up the leg, under the drape, and up to the hip bone? Have any of you had this type of thing happen where you have unintentionally touched the clients penis? It that just something that happens from time to time?

What keeps me guessing about the whole thing is that she already knew my penis was in that spot when she initially brushed it, so why would she place her hand right there on top of it to balance herself?

I have not said anything to my wife about it. She probably wouldn't be bothered anyway. But I think I want to schedule another massage! :)


Answer:
I’m a Licensed MT myself. And I actually had an accident while performing a massage on one male client. He was runner and needed some attention to his quads. As I was doing a long stroke from the knee to the hip, although he was fully draped, somehow, and i have no idea how it happened, and it was really embarassing because this was not my intention at all, i brushed against his member. It still makes me uncomforatble to think that it actually happened. He didnt say anything and either did I, and he has been back since then for professional massage, so he probably knew it was an accident. As for placing my hand on his “hip” for balance after that? No, I actually steered clear of the hip and moved on, so I didn't give the wrong impression. Accidents happen I guess, and I'm sorry it happened to me and it may have to your therapist, but what she did following the brushing might have gone a little far, possibly intentional.

Answer:
Well since none of us were there it's hard to state what happened… I think you should schedule another appointment and see what happens

Answer:
AS a Nationally Licensed Massage Therapist and Massage Therapy Teacher for over 6 yrs…this definitely wouldn’t be tolerated in my class. No, MT is to ever massage under the drape and go that close to male or female anatomy! Let alone holding it! ANd for the MT (Massage Therapist) to touch any private areas is grounds for Ethical violations with the National Massage Board. It is unfortunate that there’s Always a MT that Ruins it for those of us who are Professional Therapeutic Therapist. I have massage Professional Baseball Players and always maintained professionalism at ALL TIMES. I would not get another service from this therapist again ever. and if you want you can report this abuse to the local authorities for Unethical practices.

Answer:
I hope it was a mistake… and I also hope that you wish to schedule another massage because they’re pleasant and not to satisfy your member… I'm sure your wife would take offense to the latter. Ideal of luck…

Answer:
I have the ability to tell you that It is never acceptable to touch a clients genitals - in fact it is illegal, even if the client states it is alright. Men sometimes do get reflexive erections during a massage but that’s not an invitation to touch them in a sexual way. Massage therapists have spent many years legitimizing their profession. Therapists (and in this case I use the term loosely) like your wife's friend do a great deal of damage to those of us who have spent many hours studying and working hard at becoming healers. We’re tired of the “happy ending” jokes made at our expense. I am not a masseuse and I don't work at a massage parlor. I am a nationally certified Licensed Massage Therapist and proud of what I do.
She’s wrong and if you allow it to happen you are wrong as well.
