When I was thirteen I had pneumonia, spent two weeks in an oxygen tent, and it was touch and go. I spent more than a month in the hospital and only got to go home then because it was Christmas. Anyway, some of my school friends came to visit me including a boy on whom I had a crush. I remember being self conscious about lying in a bed dressed in pajamas in his presence. To me, pajamas and beds were sex related and verboten. Like I said, I was thirteen. I could not differentiate a medical situation from a sexual situation. Eventually, I grew up.

Seems to me that a prospective masseur who can't make that distinction or is preoccupied with the fear that his clients can't make that distinction is stuck in puberty.

As for this freedom of conscience thing, I don't see a difference between what you've described and just plain freedom.
