Male massage therapist. Should I remain strictly professional, or accept extras for the cash/business?

Answer 1

Depends on where you do business. If you go to peoples' homes then not as big an issue as if you have an office. If they want a more intimate massage you need to decide up front if you want to do that and essentially be a prostitute.

Answer 2

Remain strictly professional. You want to keep your business going - not sunk by rumors.

Answer 3

Strictly professional, anything else may be seen as Prostitution.

Answer 4

If you want to be taken seriously as a masseuse then stay away from anything like that. But if you need that money and you live somewhere like the UK where it's legal, go for it.

Answer 5

This is something you should be asking your lawyer. If and when you get busted, what penalties will you face in your jurisdiction, and do you think those penalties (including possibly registering as a sex offender) are worth it?

Answer 6

Accept extras. Extra money never hurts anyone

Answer 7

Keep your dignity
