Poppinjay : brutal drubbing...mind if I borrow that? It's got a nice ring to it.
Just to back up redlemon in his experience, I knew a male massage therapist who was asked to 'finish me off' by male clients very regularly. At first he used to laugh it off, but he became very disenchanted with it over time. I think there's a disconnect here between reality and fantasy. The concept of being 'finished off' is all sexy and fun and stuff, yes, but it's largely a fantasy and doesn't have a place in the daily working life of professional massage therapists. I'm skeptical that many people would be able to laugh it off for long and it has nothing to do with prudery, it's about personal space and respect.
