    Hi
    Need advice on this.I want to go for a massage back and shoulder are tight and achey and I saw this particular guy who does massages,/sports/holistic/deep tissue ect .He says hes acredited with ITEC which is great .But his massage also has a "happy ending" as in hand relief at the end of the massage .
    I am in a relationship but if i went to this guy for a massage (who seems to be professsional) and had the "full" service as it were would you it be classed as cheating ?

    Does it matter what we classify it as?

    Why not talk to your other half about it?

    If they say it's not cheating/no issue in which case fire ahead guilt free.

    If they say it is cheating/a problem for them, then don't do it.

    If you would rather not mention it to them, then you probably think yourself your doing something wrong and it'll be up to you to decide if it's worth it.

    i went for a full swedish massage from a lovely lady last week. i had a happy ending as in i was walking on air after the hour. i feel so much better after it.

    why would you want a hand job after it if you were in a relationship? strange. actually why would anyone want a "happy ending"? you will have a happy ending when you get all your muscles all worked out and kneaded.

    +1.

    The fact that you need to ask here whether it would be cheating is proof that you're not sure your partner would be ok with it

    Very surprised any accredited massage therapist would offer that service and i would imagine it could compromise his accreditation.

    Well yes thats what I thought ,hence my reason for asking the question in the first place..
    To all those that replied ,ta much ,it was just a question I threw out to get peoples reactions.
    And no I didnt go and am unlikely to do so either.

    Well you've got a dirty mind, don't you. I mean this "happy ending" could turn out to be something completely different.

    Imagine if you went in there, got the massage and then said;

    "But what about the ****?"

    "You what?"

    "The ****, you know, the "happy ending" in your advert."

    "Erm, no. That was just a pun on feeling you get when you're finished getting a massage and your muscles aren't as tense."

    *Awkward Silence*

    So you think it is professional or acceptable for a masseur to sexually assault his clients after their massage? I would think someone offering this service could not last long and if accredited as you suggest they are NOT offering any such service after each massage.

    Your interpretation of this happy ending is somewhat smutty and suggests the masseur is nothing more than a prostitute offering personal services while most people will see it differently especially as this person is properly accredited.

    I'm sorry but as you may know from my posts on here, I don't get offended easily; but the fact that you equate getting happy endings with sexual assault is absolutely ridiculous.

    In sexual assault there is no consent
    When happy endings are advertised and agreed to, it is all consensual.

    By the way, I don't agree with an 'accredited' masseur giving happy endings either

    We all like happy endings but I am sure that is optional. I am also sure if it is just a massage you want you could go to another professional who isn't an escort.

    But good luck with it.

    Yea, that's far from sexual assault. It's akin to prostitution (or may indeed be a form of it) but its consensual and certainly the customer/John is not a victim.

    In fairness, that's not his interpretation of happy ending - its commonly accepted slang for a masseur who masturbates a male client at the end. See also rub and tug.

    He never commented on whether it's acceptable, he just stated what happy ending is understood to be.

    You might disagree with it, but there is nothing wrong with his use of the phrase in that context in my book.

    Sweet Lord,.............
    As was mentioed by another poster.A Happy Ending means getting a hand job,that's it in a nutshell .
    As for equateing it with sexual assualt ,well thats just complete and utter nonsense and insults and belittles those who were actually sexually assaulted.
    Whether you agree with it or not or believe it or not (and you obviously dont) the masseur has an ad giving his qualifications ,he also if ones wants offers happy endings.
    Now admittedly "happy endings" are not thught in class but some (not all) might offer it .
    I actually do know of a fully "professional" masseur who is acredited and did on 2 occasions offer a hapy ending .Yes it wasnt professional ,but some clients do rise to the occasion and this masseur offered to er,, relieve the tension..
    He is by no means a prostitute.

    Fidelity and prefessionalism issues aside, this looks to be a really good service - you get a good massage, and you get off with the help of a man, in a safe and clean discrete environment. It might be just the thing that married bi men like myself could use to dampen the bi desire without risking their marriage.

    So your wife would be ok with you getting a handjob off a prostitute? And make no mistake, anyone providing such a service is a prostitute. They're selling a sexual service

    I support the legalisation of prostitution, but deluding yourself that availing of their services is not cheating on your partner is bull****. If your partner is ok with it, that's fine, but they get to decide what is and isn't cheating, not you
