Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable: Erections during a massage or wax service
“Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable,” a mini-series discussing common occurrences in the massage and wax room that are usually uncomfortable to talk about. Our first topic is erections during a massage or wax service.
Erections are a part of human nature, and its occurrence during a wax service or a massage session is normal. An unintentional erection is not seen as inappropriate behavior; it is the actions in response that can make it a problematic situation. Those actions include and are not limited to:
making sexual comments, gestures, jokes, and requests
sexually moaning
humping the massage table
trying to touch the licensed professional
An erection is a physiological response to touch, and it's nothing to be embarrassed about. As a licensed professional, I understand that an erection doesn't always translate to sexual desire. As long as you, the client, remain relaxed and calm, I simply ignore it.
