No, you do not.
You leave your underwear on.
Yes you can be nude for a massage.
You do not have to be nude. And, in fact, it is illegal to be nude during a massage in the US. You may be disrobed, which means having all your cloths off. But, you are covered very professionally with a drape so no private anatomy is exposed.
You leave your underwear on during massage. When I've had a massage I've always been naked.
What do you mean by nude massage? You are expected to LEAVE ON YOUR UNDERWEAR (as in underpants) when you receive a massage. A professional massage therapist will know how to drape you with the sheet/blanket so that only the part of your body being worked on is exposed.
Generally you are nude, but you can wear underwear, especially for women who are menstruating.
There is no such thing. During a professional massage, you leave on your underwear and you are draped modestly with a sheet and blanket.
In the US, there is no such thing as a nude massage. It is illegal in all 50 states. You must be covered with a sheet or towel and are never nude. You may, however, be completely disrobed and covered with a sheet or towel. That is how most people get their massages. And, we never call it nude, or naked!
NO. You are expected to LEAVE ON YOUR UNDERWEAR (as in underpants) when you receive a massage. A professional therapist will know how to drape you with the sheet/blanket so that only the part of your body being worked on is exposed. Swedish massage is primarily for relaxation but that does not mean you aren't being worked on by a professional therapist.
Yes you can wear cloths during a massage. In most all Asian bodywork therapies, like Thai massage, Acupressure, or Shiatsu, the client is fully clothed throughout the massage treatment. Also, for Western modalities, if you are having a massage for the first time, your therapist will be very understanding if you wish to keep some, or all of your clothing on. On a final note: You are never NUDE, at any time, during a massage treatment. You are always covered with a drape. And. only one part of the body at a time is uncovered. By-the-way, this process of keeping the body covered and uncovering the parts getting massaged is called draping. Draping means the use of a drape, it has nothing to do with whether something is covered or not. It is the system, process, and procedure of making a professional statement about the level of formality in the client/therapist relationship.
Yes. It's common in spas. Make sure you have a towel around you though...
Yes , of course.
