I’m firmly in the belief that unless it’s something your partner has agreed is ok and even endorses it’s cheating. Personally if my wife told me she wanted a massage with a happy ending I would be more than comfortable with her getting one, and it would be hypocritical of me to feel otherwise as I’d happily have one myself.
I know for her though it would be a hard boundary, so it’s not actually something I’ll ever do as I know she wouldn’t be happy with it.
If hubby did ask if he could have a happy ending massage i would say no way. Any sort of intimate sexual experience outside of our relationship i would consider as cheating and i would never agree to that.
I have never had a happy ending from a massage, and think it may cross a line within our relationship. My wife and I regularly get massages from a local shop, each with our separate masseuse. Having a professional and on going relationship with our people means a certain degree of trust and limits. I would never ask my massage therapist for a happy ending, as it would change the dynamic between us. And the thoughts of my wife’s therapist touching her privates also crosses a line that should not be traversed.
But, a funny thing that comes to mind. If we were away on a vacation, and each were getting massages, and a happy ending was given, it might be viewed differently, because this would be with someone who we would have no relationship with and never see again. Strange !
From what I understand, real massage therapists don’t do “happy endings.” If a place does offer sexual services, it’s usually an illegal brothel disguised as a massage parlour.
So my feelings don’t really matter here. If my partner wants to to go waving their bits around in a shady “massage parlour”, instead of asking for intimacy? Then they’re probably the wrong partner for me.
Like I say, from what I know (admittedly not much, but probably enough) it’s strictly no-no on licensing in UK/US/EU. So it’s either in Asia/Africa/Middle East, where I’m not sure what the laws are, or it’s an unlicensed premises.
