I agree-I’d prefer a female as well-there is just something unprofessional about a male touching a female’s unclothed body unless it is sexual, and a regulation massage isn’t supposed to be sexual-am I the only one who remembers that movie “Full Body Massage”? Not exactly regulation...
So a man touching a woman in a sexual manner is “professional?”. ;-)
Also, insert George Costanza “I think it moved” here.
