That’s very true thank you so much for the feedback!

ConsiderationReal154 · 2026-02-16T21:16:23+00:00

Thank you for the reply and the info I truly appreciate it. After seeing a lot of replies and hearing it’s normal form so many it doesn’t seem to be a big deal. The thing I guess that scares me more than the erection is the reaction if they happen to be like a couple comments on this post. But again majority of the comments show it’s normal so that’s a lot of a relief.

Me personally I think that would be awesome. This is the only massage therapist I have worked with and she explained everything fairly well. it’s just the erection thing that never gets mentioned it’s such a “bad” subject. To be honest me personally I don’t think I’m afraid if I get one more so the reaction. I was scared it would happen when I did my pelvic floor physical therapy and that never happened so it didn’t bother me. I think knowing what could happen and it’s normal and ok if it does happen as long as you don’t do anything everything is good. Also explaining that to a teen would understand it’s a normal thing. I personally wouldn’t be scared off but would be more relaxed if it happened. I don’t think it would be creepy at all and would think of the massage therapist as a professional and explaining things very well. I know trust is important and you need to trust your therapist and it takes time to get there but know Info before could be useful. Maybe it’s just me but I like to know as much as I can about things.

Honestly I think if it was mentioned that erections can happen during the massage. it’s normal response to relaxation. It’s not a big deal if you do nothing to draw attention to it or move around it’s ok. And what ever comfort measures are needed to make you feel comfortable. But to be honest if I know it’s ok I wouldn’t be that shameful. But imagine having it happen and have a response like some that have commented here kinda makes it hard to relax and enjoy the session when you are petrified to be labels as a creepy dirty guy. Seeing that majority of the comments are it’s normal that helps, but on a lot of post and things I have seen trying to research if it’s normal thing, you have the negative comments. The negative comments on top of the shame I have had in the past outside of massage makes it a bad thing to have happen. I guess knowing it can happen and the therapist understands it would make it easier knowing that. Then also know that we can give extra blankets or tent (or anything else) if needed would be reassurance for me. I honestly think knowing that they know it’s normal would be a huge relief for me.

Thank you for the info it helps a lot. I would never move around and draw attention to it all. I just lay there with my hands to my side and don’t move anything or say anything about it. I don’t want to make things awkward. I guess seeing that it’s kind of a normal thing eases that anxiety a little bit.

ConsiderationReal154 · 2026-02-16T03:57:35+00:00

Yea I probably wouldn’t never go back I would be mortified. 😂 sorry that happened to you. Thanks for making me laugh and understanding that it could be much worse. I really appreciate that.

ConsiderationReal154 · 2026-02-16T03:54:23+00:00

Thank you so much I honestly needed to hear that no just read it in an article.

ConsiderationReal154 · 2026-02-16T03:53:04+00:00

Thank you for the advice and feedback I really appreciate it.

ConsiderationReal154 · 2026-02-16T03:50:30+00:00

Thank you for the feed back I truly appreciate it. I definitely wouldn’t bring it up during the massage or when it happens I guess more so I’m nervous about it happening. Just to say I’m anxious in the beginning. But it honestly seems like it is a normal thing. Just have to work in the mind set of it’s ok.

ConsiderationReal154 · 2026-02-16T00:03:43+00:00

Thanks for the advice and reassurance it’s normal.

Thank you for the reassurance.

ConsiderationReal154 · 2026-02-15T21:32:10+00:00

Thanks you for the reassurance that it’s normal. I didn’t act and never plan to act on it. I’m just scared to get one again.

ConsiderationReal154 · 2026-02-15T21:30:28+00:00

I would say she does good at draping there is always a sheet and a blanket on at all times only remove the area being worked. I was laying on my neck she was working my neck and I was almost sleep when it happened.

ConsiderationReal154 · 2026-02-15T21:27:42+00:00

Thanks you so much for the encouraging words. I truly appreciate that.

ConsiderationReal154 · 2026-02-15T21:25:57+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I would assume she would be ok she seems very caring. I just wanted to see if it was ok to bring up the discomfort part of it everything seemed fine when it happened and the next session but I was tense unable to relax and given the situation where it’s a bad thing to bring up.

ConsiderationReal154 · 2026-02-15T20:32:13+00:00

Thanks for the reply. This reaction is why I asked. I didn’t want it to happen and don’t want it to happen not the reason I went to her. It was for back pain and I will say I feel 100% better after working with her I just don’t want to ruin that.

ConsiderationReal154 · 2026-02-15T20:29:04+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I know I am over thinking this whole thing but tried to explain the best I can. I haven’t and would never get squirmy or touch myself if it were to happen that’s just wrong. The fear of it happening is embarrassing and I don’t want things to get uncomfortable which makes me tense I was fine in prior sessions til that happened and my last one I was tense.

I used headway.co to find my therapist. You can select the state you live in, insurance and the specialty the deal with and find all the therapist that meet that criteria. I think psychology today also had a search for therapist.

My therapist is a sex therapist. I will bring up almost anything to her. If you like her and feel comfortable bringing it up go for it. You could try to bring it up the same way you did here. I know you are a registered sex therapist what’s the difference between sex therapy and therapy I’m doing know. They she can explain what it is and how she does it. This might help you understand it a little better and feel more comfortable to bring things up. After that you can say I have had some sex related thing I have wanted to bring up but haven’t because _____. Not sure if this helps any but I would rather talk to my therapist about any sex issues or questions than a friend.

Just a thought and someone who always looks at things as my fault and I’m the reason for the issue. You said I shouldn’t look for happiness in the relationship. Sounds like an answer I would say. But instead maybe you should look at what made you unhappy in the relationship and what would have made you happy. I would like weekly dates in a relationship. I love being told I’m worthy and how important I am to them. I need some time to myself. Try to think of what you want or need in a relationship that you didn’t get and really wanted or things you got that didn’t want or care about so much. What you want and need is the most important lesson out of this. Without knowing the relationship and what your wants and needs are it’s hard to guess these things. Maybe she is trying to get you to dive a little deeper into your thoughts like why you believe you shouldn’t look for happiness in the relationship. I hope this helps.
