What's your opinion on a client "directing" you during a session? Not asking you to go beyond your limits or trying to speed things along to the fun stuff, but letting you know how he prefers to have what you're doing done to him.  

I'm trying to please you; please do tell me the best ways to do that. It's better for everyone that way!

in hobby life as well as regular life good communication makes everything better, unless you find a very rare mind reader.

Personally as a  Physical Therapist and Massage Therapist I feel it is important to ask about what the client is looking for and any troubled areas and we go from there.  For me in this area of work its all about the client.

They "tell" me either verbally or with body language what they like or dislike....and I respond in kind.  I have several "casting couches" just for that purpose.     Does that make me the "Assistant Director"?    lol.    

...I've found that Ladies are very receptive to my ideas and likes. Take this bloke, for example. See how the professionalism of the Provider leads this shy first timer into having his desires fulfilled!

Active participant please!!!

Now that's just fucking hilarious!

Just kidding...  

It's clear to me that I wasn't being unreasonable in a recent massage session. The provider and I simply had different definitions of "service." (None of the massage providers I've reviewed...)
