They will never touch breast/nipple. Rarely the stomach. When laying on your back they will massage your neck and as much chest maybe as a handspan's length. They do arms, legs, feet. Never stomach. This is for a classic swedish. There are other styles, but that is what I am referencing, the most common.

When you're on your stomach, they do full back, and roll the sheet down to cover you bottom, right above crack. Much tension is sometimes held in the buttocks, so taht is why some of them will massge there if you are OK with it - but never inappropriately or in a sexual way. They actually do your body in halves -- all of you is covrered with a sheet except what they are working on. So if they are working one leg, the other is covered. The uncovered leg is uncovered toe to butt cheek, or perhaps to thigh if that is your comfort level.

I never wear undewear during massages. Too restrictive in my opinion.


That said, if you are uncomrotable about a massage therapist getting into personal territory, in the beginning of the massage, when they ask are there any areas to avoid or things you should know, just say "Yes, please avoid massaging chest, and any area between upper thigh and lower back."

They won't see anything because you stay covered in that section, and even when you turn, they hold the sheet up so they can't see while you flip.

You never wear underwear?? At least a few days in a months right?

No really, never. I started going commando to play volleyball years ago (spandex uniform), and realized it was pretty annoying and unnecessary the rest of the time too.

You know some posters are trolls?

Wrong. I get massages regularly at places like the Four Seasons- never some shady place that would offer happy endings. They pretty much always say to take off as much as you feel comfortable. Technically, you should take it all off and a professional masseuse will use towels/blankets to keep you covered the whole time. I would never wear my underwear unless I had my period or something.

And I've never had my breasts massaged either. I don't think that's standard...

Have just booked one for next Friday, ( Thanks to the IL's for a Christmas gift card)
Im just curious if others tend to keep underwear on or go naked.

Did you ever feel like you made the wrong choice?

No underwear! Try it you will see how relaxing and liberating it feels!

I have never had a massage where they touched my breasts. That actually shocks me that they would do that. I do wear my underwear during a massage but not a bra.

OP, It wasnt about being asked to remove underwear, Ive never had that happen. I just wondered what the norm was.

Anonymous wrote:I am modest and never wear underwear for a massage. One of the key areas that I need them to work on is my upper buttocks, as that is where my muscles really tighten, and underwear would impede deep massage in that area. And, a good masseuse knows how to work the sheet to "protect" from private parts getting exposed.

I could've written this exact response. I did wear underwear the first few times I had massages but then I read an article about how it's perfectly acceptable to be totally naked for a massage and I've never worn undies since.
