"If someone has been sexualized inappropriately in this situation, injury has occurred"

Well, you have said that ALL sexualization in this situation is inappropriate so let me illustrate a hypothetical:

I am a male getting a massage from a female. I believe that I have a right to my own beliefs and feelings and so does the therapist. At some point in the session I get slightly sexually aroused (at the level of some fleeting sexual thoughts and a bit of warmth in my loins). I tell her about it and we laugh a bit over it.

I tell her I was not damaged in any way. I was not hurt; I was not injured. I truly am not injured, and I am not a liar.

My question to you is this: Can you accept my assertion that I am not injured? And will you honor my assertion as the truth?
