Your Options for Getting a Nude Massage at a SpaBy Phoenix Delray Many people have some issues with getting a nude massage at a spa. Spa etiquette varies by spa, location, and even country, and while a nude massage is a normal, everyday occurrence in some places, it may not be in others. Being naked to get a rubdown is normal, but not required. Although many people dont feel comfortable being naked in front of a stranger, for the most part a massage or body treatment is done in the nude. Modesty should always be respected, however. Spas especially in North America may recommend that the client is nude for the massage, and even then, spas in North America use draping techniques to cover a person during a massage so they arent really totally uncovered anyway. In contrast, spas in Europe are more relaxed with being naked, and draping techniques are usually more lax there. A Swedish massage usually has the client being nude. Usually the client will walk into a very private room with dim lighting, take his or her robe off, and will get on the massage table in between the sheets, all without the massage therapist being in the room. The therapist should always knock before entering the room as well. If at any time the therapist is in the room when you are taking off your robe, you can always ask them to step out while you get comfy on the table. The technique that is used in spas in North America is called draping, and with it only one part of the body is exposed at one time, and that is the body part that is being massaged. If she is working on your leg, only that leg should be exposed. Your private area should never be exposed. Although womens breasts are never exposed or massaged, the buttocks sometimes are, so dont panic if you feel some hands on your cheeks! The buttocks can be massaged through the sheet if you prefer, just let your therapist know this. It is important to remember during a nude massage that it is you who is in control, and you do not have to be completely naked in order to get a massage. You can wear underwear if you want to. The comfort of the client is the main factor in any massage; if the client cannot relax, there really is no point to the massage. There are many styles of massage that do not require any nudity, so if you are just not comfortable with getting a nude massage, ask about options for a Thai massage or some reflexology work done instead.
