Male Massage Should Be in Line With Ethics



The point of this article is not to call for a war against these so-called male masseurs. The only real problem I have with this is that it seems to be male prostitution masquerading as "male massage hangzhou". These are in violation of the ethics of the massage board, and while I don't mind that necessarily, I do think this kind of advertising makes it more likely that legitimate massage therapists will be bothered more by clients looking for sexual services. Many Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs) already have to deal with clients that are looking for sexual services. Doing a search for "male massage" and finding what is essential a directory of men offering sexual services might confuse people who aren't aware of massage licensure and law.

The positive that I see in "male massage suzhou" is that it leads us to question our values about sex.  In some countries, for instance Holland, prostitution is legal and managed.  As a result, they have fewer problems with sex workers getting STDs as proper safety precautions are taken to protect both worker and client.  A lot of money and manpower are saved, too, because law enforcement doesn't have to constantly make arrests of prostitutes and their clients, and courts too are more free to handle more serious cases.  But probably the best benefit of legalization is that there are much fewer problems with underage prostitutes, and human trafficking also declines. 

So there is evidence that legalizing prostitution can actually make a lot of changes for the better in a lot of ways.  You could certainly say that selling sexual services seems to be a lot less destructive than manufacturing bombs, for example.  I see in these "male massage in suzhou" sites the potential for positive transformation. But unfortunately, they are making things harder for real massage therapists who want to help the client with (non-sexual) healing. We've seen the effects of denying our sexuality- just look at the recent molestation scandals in the Catholic Church. To me, it's clear that these members of the church tried to repress their natural sexual urges with devastating results. People want to have sex, and if you can get past the fact that it's not always (or even usually) as cut and dry as as getting married and having sex with one member of the opposite sex for the rest of your life, we can perhaps start to look more honestly at the sexual aspect of being human.
