Ethical Statement

Ethics

Autonomy

We will protect your autonomy in never forcing our will or worldview upon you. We understand that everyone has different levels of boundaries and will respect without judgement any decision you make about participation.

Diversity

We respect and aim to work with everyone's diversity provided it does not have any detriment to others.

Fairness

We will treat all clients/participants fairly, honestly and openly in all communication whether that be via e-mail, or face to face. We aim to be balanced in our views and judgements and take into account both the needs of the individual and of the group. Our aim will always be to discuss any issues in an open and supportive manner. Any issues you experience during a training/event/workshop should be raised at the time.

Personal Responsibility

We recognise we have a duty of care for all clients/participants. That said, it is your duty to ensure your own personal safety. You will need to ensure you are mentally, physically and emotionally able to engage in the practice. If you have any concerns, you should always seek appropriate advice before undertaking any practice. If you have any specific questions, please contact us to explore this further.

Professional Standards

We are committed to continuous training and research to improve our quality as a masseur, coach and teacher/facilitator. As a Tantra4gaymen trained masseur, coach and teacher/facilitator we attend regular professional supervision. Where an issue is raised and we do not feel competent, we will tell you so and direct you to adequate support.

Respect

We appreciate that everyone has their own worldview, ideas, beliefs, anxieties, ways of sexuality, and personal boundaries. We will respect you as a person and always mind your expressed boundaries. You are equally obliged to treat your masseur, coach or teacher/facilitator with this level of respect.

Safety

We are 100% passionate about safe and ethical practice. In all of the exercises / practices that we offer we strongly encourage you and provide you with information and items to promote safe practice. It is your personal responsibility to ensure your own sexual safety throughout massage, coaching, or event. If we observe unsafe practice, we will invite you to amend your practice safely and immediately. If not adhered to you will be asked to leave the massage, coaching session, or event. As a masseur, coach and teacher/facilitator we actively keep ourselves informed about the latest guidelines relating to safer sex practices.

Trust and Confidentiality

We will act in accordance with the trust you place in us. We will treat all personal information about you as confidential, including the very fact that you attended a massage, coaching or an event. If we meet you in "real life", we will not make any contact unless you take the first step. We only divulge private information to authorities when it is legally required.

Well-Being

We are committed to promoting your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. We will avoid any kind of exploitation either sexually, emotionally, financially or by any other form.
