An experienced massage therapist will plan the session to address your needs and desires. In a standard massage session, you will be draped with a sheet or a large towel. You may choose to be totally or partially unclothed under the drape. As each part of the body is being massaged, it is uncovered. Genitals and women's breast should be covered at all times.
Many people prefer to wear their underpants during a massage.
Feel free to ask about the draping method to be used, and let the massage therapist what you are comfortable with. Some forms of massage, such as Shiatsu and seated massage, may be performed with the client fully clothed. Some people prefer silence, especially during a massage for general relaxation, while others like more social interaction. Always feel free to give the therapist feedback on anything causing discomfort. The therapist may request feedback from you, especially when addressing a specific problem.
