Well, there's the rub. What would the exemption look like? We hereby exempt all personal service providers whose service involves touching and who can show a strong and firmly held conviction that touching, when that touch could theoretically result in the arousal of the client, is morally repugnant. How's that? Crafted nice and tight and on point.

More generally you could make an exception for personal service providers who's service requires touching but who are not considered medical personnel.
