Is this behavior inappropriate? Or am I too sensitive?
UPDATE - Draping standards are state regulated and clearly states that a clients chest should be properly draped regardless of gender unless directly working on that area. I can't believe how many non-massage therapists feel the need to comment on this post!! I feel completely justified not seeing this client again. Being alone in a room with a naked man presents certain risks that need to be mediated. Keeping clients properly draped helps keep a hard boundary, and by the way, it's the law! And any client who continually tests boundaries is a problem. period.
I had a male client who repeatedly kept exposing his nipples even after I re-draped him and said that it made me uncomfortable. (This was in response to him saying that he thought the draping rule was stupid and that most therapists don't care, and asking if his nipples was somehow offensive).
He was also not an ideal client for other reasons as well (talked so loud during the ENTIRE massage that other people in the building could hear him) and repeatedly lifted his head so that he could get his point across.
Am I wrong for not wanting to see this client again? 🤔
Edit- Thank you everyone for your comments and opinions! I feel I should give a little more context - I work for someone else who I believe thinks that I am overly sensitive and I don't feel like I have total autonomy. I am worried that if I "fire" too many clients, that I might lose my job, and there aren't really any other job opportunities where I live. I think the question I should be asking is how do I deal with firing clients and not losing my job? (I am technically an I.C. but I can still be asked not to work there). I did ask when I was hired how to put clients on a "do not book" list and never got a straight answer other than it was case by case and rarely happened.
