A (not so) friendly reminder that these types of requests are considered sexual harassment and you WILL be blocked, reported, and your details saved and shared with other local massage therapists.
Iāve been very fortunate that my BS radar is pretty good and I can spot these types of requests a mile off. But that doesnāt stop them from coming to my inbox every now and againā¦
If you are looking for these types of services, stop wasting our time and your own. There are avenues for that. Massage therapists are NOT the avenue.
I honestly despair
This is the kind of crap we deal with when we offer massage. Iām pretty sure Iām not meant to have a controversial opinion on social media as a business
But I could not careless because when we choose to offer services to men this is what we get. Now I know itās not all men and I run a gender neutral salon because we never want men to feel unwelcome, unless you are James here and I really want him to be uncomfortable. I also wonāt applaud the men who donāt make us feel uncomfortable, because thats called been normal.
But guess what in 15 years of the salon been open not one women has made us feel uncomfortable, not one have I had to decline a treatment to. For men.. around 20% get declined before even getting to the salon.
Itās the reason I have lone working policies, itās the reason my team are taught safety measures and how itās ok to walk straight out of a treatment if they do not feel safe
And yet again itās the reason I have another therapist who no longer feels safe taking male massage clients.
How dare you make us feel like this, how dare you make women feel sexualised just going to work or unsafe
Iāve had men tell me they were just joking when they put s**t like this on forms. Like how?? How is making young women feel unsafe funny? Or is that how you get your fun??
And for those that donāt know this is pretty standard behaviour in the industry.
Imagine if we didnāt have pre questioners like this or James here wasnāt so confident with his requests.
We have also had friends book appointments for people (this may well be the case here) and if it is seriously get rid of those friends because you are enabling the sexualisation of women going to work
This has been passed on to the police and I will publicly shame every person who attempts to make my team feel uncomfortable every again
And if anyone wants to massage James groin let me know and I will hook you up
