It may be rude or offensive to ask, but does a massage session include a “release”?
It is not rude or offensive to ask, though my short answer to this question is “no.” My experience is that more than several people have asked me the same question. It seems for some people to receive a massage is sexually stimulating. Besides the fact that I have not professionally been trained in such a field, the Texas State laws and Code of Ethics for Licensed Massage Therapists explicitly prohibit LMTs to conduct any sexual activities with clients during a session. To keep my relationship with you professional, I would like to stick to the rules. After your session, I will leave the massage room so that you can have your own private space and time, basically for you to relax, reflect the session, and put back on your clothes. As your time and mine allow, it can be more than a few minutes; and it is up to you how you use this time. As you are ready (or the time comes), I will meet you outside the massage room.
