TIL. I didn’t know that about the word masseuse. Not that I talk about massage therapists on the regular, but now I know.
Comment on People who get "happy ending" massages, is there like a common keyword or process?
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks agoInterestingly, my previous go-to massage therapist told me that “massage therapist” was the preferred nomenclature, and “masseuse” carried sexual connotations.
My go-to is very professional, but that doesn’t help me with emergencies.

I agree - that’s been my experience too.
Guess I grabbed “masseuse” because it’s shorter, haha

My wife is a massage therapist and she says the same thing. She hates the term ‘masseuse’.

Well, tell your massuese I said hello.
(my silly and stupid joke is to imply that she does not fulfil your needs so you go to a masseuse, but it’s supposed to sound like I’m calling your wife a name she hates. Yes, yes, explaining the joke ruins, but look, it’s just a bit of silliness, okay? :) )

Upvote for explaining the joke, or I would’ve missed it!

It was a shitty joke :)

My friend also dislikes the term, but that’s because he’s male, and it should be masseur, or massage therapist (preferred).
