Thank you for guaranteeing in both italics and a flat manner. I would have questioned it otherwise.
I apologize Redlemon. I hope you don't think I am attacking you. I don't intend to.

Interesting. I did read the thread. I am aware that people are offended by this. The point is that it is difficult to define 'offensive' in a manner that fits all or even most of any population. So it is difficult to justify being angry with somebody who may not see what they are doing as harmful or offensive. At least it is difficult to justify this to me, but this is obviously unimportant. It is still my point none-the-less.
As a side note; anybody can ask me to jerk them off. I'll likely decline, but unless you are patronizing me or knowingly trying to vex me, I won't get upset. This makes for a more pleasant humanity and a more efficient one as well, in my opinion.
It is unfortunate that your cousin would have to experience any negative emotions over something as mundane and harmless as a question. I hope, for this reason, that she is never asked to do such a thing.

I don't understand how this school of thought can follow the last. Should they get pissed or should they move on. I can't tell from your differing view points here. Isn't your cousin a legit therapist that should "...just get over[it]?"

I wish this were a more reasonable thing to ask. I agree, but as long as something is illegal, it can't be sold at face value. It must be disguised. Unfortunately for your trade, massage seems to work well as a guise for prostitution of sorts. If it were made legal this would be less of a problem. Just like car repair shops would be used for drug sales a lot less if it were legal to possess and traffic drugs. Not that either of those are the best plan.
Also, I'm sorry for this... I'm really not trying to be a prick. I'm a calm guy. If you could here my tone of voice you might be sure that this was all just for the sake of argument, but here goes.
I find it a bit odd that you openly admit being one of these horribly annoying people that misunderstand your trade. Doesn't you being confused about protocol and expectations of a visit kind of exonerate people posing questions about these things? Would it have been more offensive for you to ask what you were in store for and clarify or to have gone the length of the visit under the assumption there might be more?
Again, I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm sure you're a stellar person with which I'd agree on many points. Please don't take offense.
