naked or not
I just had a massage here in Casablanca. All male setting and also a wet setting. Water flowed freely. The therapist were in whatever underwear for the day as was all visitors. Massages were down on open tables in the center of the room. Scrubbing with rough pads. A brownish gel rubbed in. A decent massage too and reasonable price. I would have been fine with totally nudity for everyone like I found in St Petersburg Russia bath , but Muslim countries maintain a modesty that forbids total nudity exposed even in an all male setting.. I was even told to stand behind a curtain to change out of my wet briefs
I give massages in the OKC area. I'm a nudist, so I never wear clothes when I give a massage. Just makes more sense to be nude. I don't have worry about ruining my clothes with oil and it is cooler and more comfortable. I like to keep the room warm for the person receiving a massage since they are naked and laying still. I'm getting a workout when I give a massage. Even naked, I work up a sweat.
In the State of Illinois, a licensed massage therapist cannot "expose" their client's genitals and are required to do draping, which I feel detracts my energy. Clients are not required to wear shorts, but it seems many therapists feel less vulnerable if they do. Once trust is established, draping and nudity may be less relevant, but that takes time and money.
Due to the combination of budget and modesty laws, I don't like to get a massage in Illinois.
