Should you wear underwear during a full body massage?

[Brian]

I don't know if I should or not. Do you wear underwear when getting a full body massage? If the masseuse is the opposite sex?

 

[Emmi]

I always do regardless of the masseurs sex. They will not be touching/massaging that area so there is no reason not to wear underwear.

Most massage thereapis who do full body massage prefer for you NOT to wear under clothing during the massage ...

When they go to do your hips; and buttocks ; the oils will get on the under clothing and stain them .

Also; if you are wearing Underclothing ; you'll have to stop the massage and lower them for the backside area ...

Thus; just strip on down and use the sheet /towel to cover yourself ....

SOME clients have worn BOXERS as they are easier to lower and then put right back up ... just an alternative to being nude or wearing briefs etc ...

Bra is optional, depending on your level of comfort. Underwear will need to stay on regardless of the therapist's sex. We don't massage there....

It is an option of comfort. Some people like to leave their underwear (panties/boxers/etc) on and others dont. In EITHER case you should be draped in those areas throughout the massage anyway.

A professional massage therapist will work with your comfort level, so never feel pressured to take off more than you want to. However, like someone else said, your clothes may get stained by lotions/oils and/or be slightly in the way when low back/hip work is being done.

In any event, the sex of the massage therapist should not matter in any event as they should both treat your sessions the same in terms of keeping you draped and keeping things ethical.

Again, as long as you are seeing someone truely qualified to do Massage Therapy, then they will know to keep your privates draped regardless of what you wear/dont wear.
