How far can a massage therapist go in giving you a massage?

Like What parts of your body can they massage .How far can a massage therapist go in giving you a massage?
The massage therapist should, after asking whether you have had a massage before, tell you what a ';full body'; massage consists of. The breasts, genital area are definitely no fly zones. If you are seriously wanting this type of massage you would see someone who specializes in that area. Scalp/head, face, neck, shoulders, back, upper chest (pectoral muscles- like just under the collar bone) legs, arms, feet and optional stomach are the body parts that are massaged by a professional therapist. Unless you have asked them to avoid any of those areas.How far can a massage therapist go in giving you a massage?
No sexual contact is legally allowed in regular therapeutic massage.


It's one of the boundaries taught in massage training.


I hope you are not asking because something happened that you did not want to happen?





Actually what the first sentence means is the absolute legal limit.


REALLY, they should only go as far as you are comfortable, and you are perfectly ok to set your own limits, which they should respect. For example if you don't want your stomach massaged, or your thighs, or ANYTHING, you should say so. If they try to persuade you otherwise and go past your comfort zone after you have told them, then you should end the massage right away and not go back.
They can massage what you allow them to. A reputable massage therapist will avoid erogenous zones (those have nothing to do with massage anyway!) and will focus on key areas. If you have any issues with your body being touched in any particular area, just communicate that to the massage therapist, though I doubt you'll have any trouble and you'll feel amazing afterward.
Reputable massage therapists will question you as to what you are comfortable with and how undressed you want to be. I know many people who have massages and few have had even the slightest misgiving about it.
Since your asking this question, I assume you feel they went to far? Maybe they got confused on the instructions they were given. Maybe they liked you. Better talk to the manager.
one tip, mate - dont geta male person to massage you
