Best Answer

A lady who 'does massages' is correctly referred to as a masseuse whilst a gentleman performing the act is referred to as a masseur. These are the traditionally used European terms from the 19th century when French was the politically correct and fashionable language.

Unfortunately, in today's sterile world of social correctness, many people use the term 'massage therapist', which tends to distance the fact that massage involves two human beings and that the human touch is a large part of the therapy.
