OK, so he has the belief that the practice of massaging
potential (by virtue of gender and sexual orientation)sexual partners*
is harmful**.

Is that correct?

*I'm assuming that "potential sexual partners" is the criterion. Although maybe not because then he would be massaging lesbians without risk. So just what is the criterion?

**And with regard to harmful, harmful to whom or what?

Let's try to pin this belief down specifically.

Based on this belief, then the stand he is taking is to broadly speak up and educate the world that it's harmful and get the common practice changed? Or is his stand confined to refusing inappropriate (per his belief) clients in his own practice?

The risk is both social opprobrium and legal, correct?

His conscience bothered him because the conventions of society seem to be to just keep quite...It is based on his concern for being forthright in his behavior and ethics of operation...that is a matter of conscience

Or is the matter of conscience the principle that honesty requires us to speak our beliefs rather than remain quiet? If so, is that only when one is aware of a danger? Or based on some other criterion?
