Nope not at all. They kinda teach you that the "rub and tug" places give RMT's a bad name and that it is disgusting for society etc. We even went over some of the asian places downtown and other students were laughing saying how they knew this place or live near that one. It's basically holding back RMT as being taken seriously because there's always a sexual undertone attached to it. Altho to finish my course I had the bf in for massage several times and did sexy things with HIM lol. I always snagged the rooms that were private and had doors the instructors could knock on. HE had happy endings lol, but I know a few of the girls were asked for things during their session, and those individuals were marked as such in their paperwork so that future students knew what to expect.
I was presented with the erotic part about 8-9 months later after graduating when I met a girl off pof. Invited her over for some drinks and I guess she felt compelled to share what SHE did for a living as I said I took massage therapy in school. She made it sound so easy and nice, making about $1000 a week at the parlour. I was like "whaaaa?!!! Men pay you for that? Don't you have to work in Toronto or some other big city?" Yep, I was brand spankin new to everything when I started. Wasn't even aware such places for white girls existed outside of Vegas lol. Really blows because I had so much spare time during school I could have been working and practicing at the same time!
