Lonely Hearts Club...toss them out...not worth losing your license/certification over some perverts needs and wants! Chances are they are undercover and looking for an out to toss you into the the slammer! I have seen it happen here in CA..pretty scary..and the pervs...I always check out Americas Most Wanted..just in case they are on the run and stopping in for some R and R before they do something bad to someone else or creepy for a better word...yes, these guys/gals mostly guys are creepy..and prey on massage places that are inexpensive, just for their own pleasures..and it is sick and inhumane...STOP THE CREEPERS>>>
The best thing you can do for yourself is stop dwelling on the possibility of getting unwanted calls. That which you resist, persists. The more that you think about the potential for "creepy" calls, the more that you attract those callers to you.
The Law of Attraction is real; put it to work for you. Focus your
thoughts and words on the types of clients you DO want to have and how you want those interactions to feel.
I follow my own advice, and in four years of working full-time as a massage therapist (including three years self-employed), I have had exactly ONE call from someone looking for sexual massage and absolutely ZERO incidents of inappropriate behavior on the table.
Peace and blessings to you.

We provide a service to the public, providing Massage & Hydrotherapy. We are licensed by the state for those purposes only. If a person is looking for "sexual or sensual massage", we do NOT provide "those other services".
Clients are screen on the phone, when they call in. They are explained that "we do NOT provide any sensual or sexual massage".
When our Practitioner arrives, Clients are again informed that "there is NO sensual or sexual massage" on our Interview sheet. Clients fill-out a form with our Policy written on it and sign the form. They pay up front, prior to the start of the Massage. Practitioners call to check-in at the beginning of the Massage, and they check-out at the end, at the hotel front desk.
If a Client violates a Practitioner, verbally (by soliciting for sex), physically (by any grabbing or unwanted touching), or by any another means, the Massage is immediately terminated, NO money is returned, and the Client is arrested. If this happens, Practitioners are paid as if they completed the Massage.
All our policies are written, and they are carried out. No hassles, no problems.
When you get a call, ask the person "what are your goals during the massage? Are you looking for relaxation or do you have pain that you are hoping to have treated?"
This way they will get the point you are a serious massage therapist. Also, you could ask how they heard about you, or who referred them to you.
It's also like taking a brief history on the phone.... give them instructions too...avoid alcohol, drink plenty of water the day before the appointment, eat a small snack, nothing heavy before the massage.
