This is kinda embarrassing, as you'd think I'd know all about this kinda stuff by now, but here's the deal: I've seen a massage therapist several times over the past year. She's mid-40s, Chinese, passable English. Average figure, pleasant face, cheerful personality--a Chinese MILF type. She always seems glad to see me and is very friendly to me, eg complimenting me on my body, asking me how much I work out, telling me about what's going on in her life etc.  She's the sole proprietor of her own business, which is very private; in fact when I'm there she locks the outside door and closes the door of the massage room. But she's never gone beyond a strictly therapeutic massage, although she doesn't avoid any area of my body except my genitals.  

If so, does she smile at you/

As I said, she's very friendly towards me. That includes frequent eye contact (when mine are open) and smiling, and I smile at her. I don't know about the verbal hint, because her English isn't very good and she may not understand what I mean.  

I'd say skip the  towel when you go face down.  Move it to the side & see if she covers you with it.  
If you don't want to be quite so overt, bring the towel up so it's to the line between butt & thigh...  leaving you mostly exposed.  If you want to be touched, spread your legs wide enough (man spreading) so she has room.  I'd expect so work on the inner thigh, right up close & personal...  maybe even some accidental brushes.  Some are only lightly flirty on the face down but it changes on the flip.  

And I think you'll find that her English will show signs of improvement once money is introduced to the conversation.

Thanks, good tips. I think the best in this case might be trying to bunch the towel up as you said, and see how she reacts. On the flip, she takes care that that the towel stays on. I have gotten aroused a few times, eg when she's kneading my glutes and upper thighs, but then she massages my feet before the flip so by that time he's settled down.

is the most telling...  That's not encouraging.  I'd mentally focus on her body after the flip to see if I could raise the dead...  if you can get a tent going it will be pretty obivious.  You could get just a bit naughty, reaching out to touch her leg or hip without being directly sexual.  If doesn't respond with a tease at least, I'd write this place off for HEs.

as I enjoy the massage.  Part of the problem here could be of my own doing... I've seen her several times over a year-plus and have been the perfect gentleman.  Maybe she's written me off as Not Interested!

If you are aroused, she'll not mistake you for uninterested.   Professional MT are very good at being in close quarters & not accidentally brushing you there.

I am in a similar situation as you. My therapist is asian, young and fairly pleasant to look at. She gives an awesome massage with her butter soft palms. We start off draped and then when she gets to thighs and glutes, she undrapes me and puts the cloth in between my legs to hide the junk. If I open my legs too wide, she closes them back lol! but she also runs her hand inside my thighs and sometimes brushes the boys.
On the flip, she drapes me again and then rubs around and very very close to the junk. she can see the pitched tent as she does this. After this she pulls up the drape to cover only my mid-section. She performs some assisted stretching on me and usually I get uncovered and she doesn't bother covering me up again. I am usually rock hard and she just ignores it. I always have my eyes closed while flipped as I find it weird otherwise. Maybe I will try the eye contact.
I am trying to work up the courage to just ask her for a release but like you, I dont want to risk losing a skilled therapist in the process.

Well, I didn't mention it before but I have a 2nd go-to therapist, Asian, 30ish, adorable in a GND way and truly a gem of a person.  One reason I love going to her is she rubs EVERYTHING... everything but THAT anyway.  This is important to me because lots of female massage therapists won't even touch glutes let alone dig into every part of them like this woman does. Also inner thighs, chest, abs - again often not touched by some therapists. She does this because she requires a reference from a trusted client before she'll see a guy; she's had problems before with guys expecting a HE and being aggressive about it, even getting up and leaving (and not paying!) when they didn't get one.

I think even non-HE therapists, US and foreign, get propositions all the time.  If you gesture, or inquire nicely, you'll get a quick answer and as long as you don't push it if she says no you'll be OK.

I was down in WPB on vacation and came across a gal doing massage from her home.  She was a MILF and built like the proverbial shit brick house, I was enraptured.

I wouldn't risk it in this case.  

I've been in similar situations a few times.  On the first visit I am always a total gentleman and don't really push the issue.  After I've flipped and she is massaging my abdomen or upper thighs I will smile at her and say something like "It's OK to massage everything" or "I like special massage too".  Gesturing to the area helps convey the message.  If she is standing where I can touch her, I will gently rub her back or legs and ask if it's OK to touch her.  Usually, based on their reaction I can usually tell if it's a go, a no-go, or whether I need to gently coax a bit more.  If it becomes obvious she doesn't do that (or at least not until she is comfortable with you and knows you're not LE), then just let it go.  One should never force the issue or get angry and demanding.

"total gentleman".  IMO rubbing a therapist's back or legs and then asking if it's OK to touch her is not being a total gentleman.  

By total gentleman, I meant based on the environment (suspect AMP) and situation (I'm nude with an attractive woman massaging around my semi-erect junk). LOL.

I feel strongly that leaving the towel off and just folded at your feet will certainly not ruin your relationship with the MT.  There is no reason for her to massage other areas if she thinks that you are content with just the professional massage.  It is normal for a man to get excited during a massage.  My take on it is that you just leave the towel off when you lie down.  If she starts to drape you, I would just say "I don't need that".  If she drapes you anyway, then all bets are off, however if she just throws the towel to the side, then you have a good chance of more happening.  I feel that this is a no-lose situation.  If she wants to stay completely professional, she will drape you anyway and nothing lost.  She does not want to lose a good client either.  Try it, there is nothing to lose!  This has worked for me many times.  If nothing else, it will be exciting to see how she reacts.

Positioning the drape...  is not the easiest for the recipient...  she'll decide how she wants it.  I woouldn't be surprised if most do use it as it gives them deniability for at least the back portion.  Doing a poor job of covering would be the way I went.    

Any update on where this has all led, inquiring minds would like to know LOL

... that I saw the therapist who was the inspiration for this thread today. What I did different today was take the towel (which was bigger than normal for some reason), folded it in half, and positioned it so it barely covered my butt. I also spread my legs farther than usual. She came in and started the usual small talk, and unfolded the towel and repositioned it for maximum coverage. So I figured that was that. On the flip, I was at half mast from her working on my butt and legs (nothing too close, just the result of pressure and friction) but she ignored the bulge in the towel.  

Well for what it is worth you were and are a gentleman.  I am sure that she very much appreciates that and if in the future something might happen so be it.  Getting a high quality massage is a very good thing.

You absolutely called it right.  You baited the line & she didn't bite the hook.  Not even a nibble.  She avoided anything flirty (my description), when she had the opportunity to brush up close & personal.   It you push, she will put you in your place...  but she might not see you after that.  

I used to be married to a massage therapist.  When she was in massage school they covered the topic of erections.  You don't mention it and it is a natural occurrence.  Pay no attention and just keep rubbing.
