My early experiences as a massage therapy clie

[Jason King]

Please note - the following quote was by a member who has since removed himself from our boards:

Together with the deep breathing and the occasional groan, I have outward signs ... I need to find out if this was a reaction to my MT being female.  I tried male MT’s.  I had the same reaction.  It’s the massage, not the MT.

This is my (Texas-gal's) reply to the above quoted part of the original post:

Due to our more staunch society, I think it may be possible when people first begin to get massage, they are awakened to "touch" that confuses the system at times.  I would suppose that after a few visits with your therapist, be it male or female, your body will begin to work this out and you're sense of "sexuality" on the table, will diminish, and you will begin to be able to enjoy the massage in a more positive way.

When the mind begins to accept the massage for it's therapeutic work, I find the client gets even better benefit.

I have been told by a rolfer, that there are certain rolfing sessions which actually help one's ability to "express themselves" more openly with their partner.  Though, to be quite clear, it is not something that would become or should become an expression on the massage table.  

Keeping sexual comments, inuendos and outbursts out of the session, is always of utmost importance during massage.


Welcome to this wonderful world of bodywork.

I didn't delete it. Must not have liked me taking out the nastiness?

Which with this one post I can only think of one thing that was not so appropriate.

That is the ONLY part I edited out, I took out that PART of a sentence, and posted in red letters, "edited for relevance, please leave out details such as this. ~Seforum.xxxgnant" It had no relevance to what he was talking about or asking, and would have caused an uproar on the forum. No grief, no worries. ;D
