"it might too easily take on a "sexualized" atmosphere that would disturb his sense of propriety"

There are those who fear a "sexualized atmosphere" because they fear their own impulses and are unable to exert a civilized control over their behaviour. Of course, most people understand that sexuality is fundamental to our nature while honoring the principle that acts of intimacy must be based on mutual freedom and free will.

Qualified persons conduct their professions under ethical codes which give their "propriety" social parameters. It just so happens that many procedures such as surgery, massage, physiotherapy, breast examinations, or prostate palpation require some degree of nudity and touching. Failure of people in any of these professions to follow ethical guidelines by self discipline without discrimination against patients or clients is a commentary on either an insufficiency of training or an arrested maturity. There is something wrong with, say, a chiropractor who refuses patients because he fears his ability to conduct himself in a professional and mature manner. Having said that...those who are aware they are professionally unqualified to work without discrimination SHOULD discriminate against clients or patients until such time as they have received more adequate training or have overcome their lack of impulse control.
