| Mojo, as a person of faith in a tradition that discourages extra- marital interests, should not place himself deliberately in situations where he might be stimulated to impurity of thoughts, or so stimulate others. Therefore, he has reason, as a matter of conscience, to avoid potentially sexually charged situations, whether the person being stimulated is himself or his client. This is, of course, a matter of scruples, and not central to his religious profession, but it does legitimately touch on conscience as formed within such a religious tradition. Therefore, with the exception of therapeutic situations where denial of treatment might constitute a serious problem for a patient, the state has no reason to dictate clientele and forbid the masseur from acting according to his scruples......... |
