First Time Ever: A Masseur Used Gloves on Me

[+ 7829V]

I’ve been hiring masseurs for several years now: sensual, erotic, therapeutic, at spas, at resorts, men, women, you name it. And never, ever has a masseur used latex gloves to massage me. Until recently.

It struck me as odd. Maybe it was a germaphobe thing or just a personal quirk, but it felt unusual.

Has anyone else experienced this before? Or is it common and I’ve just been lucky that it never happened to me until now?

Here’s the post about the masseur who used gloves:

You’re definitely a better person than me. If I see gloves, they’d better be for a prostate massage… otherwise, I’m out the door.

The feel and sound of gloves squeaking against my skin would ruin any massage experience, therapeutic or otherwise.

Weird!

Unless the provider was playing nurse or doctor...

Against all of you?  Like. . . against your shoulders and back?!  Against your calves and thighs?!

Yes, gloves the entire time, everywhere. Shoulders, back, legs, even calves and thighs. Nothing bare-handed at all.  Definitely a first for me, and one I never want to repeat.

I would have walked away immediately

In legit physical therapy it's not uncommon, but hiring sensual it's outside the norm. If it was for the protection of the client, say if he had a last-minute cut or burn on his hand, I would expect a simple disclosure with the option of free rescheduling.

I hope they weren't gardening gloves.

I agree that he might not be in the right line of work. There's no way I'll allow it. I don't pay to feel like I am a Petri dish full of germs. That's not going to fly with me.

I hope that if this happened to me that I would first ask why the guy was using gloves.  If he told me he detected something on my skin that he was worried was contagious, I could tell him that my dermatologist hasn't mentioned anything but that I would get it checked out.  I'd then give him a very small amount for the small amount of time he spent with me and I'd be on my way.  Assuming my dermatologist confirmed his suspicions, I'd contact him again to thank him and ask to hire him again, with a generous tip, if he was so inclined. If he told me he just does it as a general precaution, I'd leave without paying him anything.

yes I must admit the first thing I thought of is that perhaps you had/have some kind of skin condition the provider was worried about?
