When I go to a spa, which is seldom, I just go with the rules. One straight masseur I go to says in his ad drape optional. Of course I said no drape. I think a drape restricts to flow on long body strokes and just takes time readjusting the drape. The first time I went to another straight masseur at his house I just started undressing in front of him and he said I guess you don't need a drape. Most masseurs that have their on studio could care less about the drape.
