I regularly went to a gym in Jakarta and tried the massage service since it's cheap compared to the western. One of the masseurs was male and I confirm with the author that it's hard for heterosexual men to perceive subtle actions taken by gay instructors/masseurs. Initially you attribute certain behaviors to cultural differences but luckily I realized why the masseur kept asking to continue selling his service to me. It felt very awkward for me too and obviously I skipped any future massage in that gym. I give my respect to the male author about speaking up. You can see easily how dumb some of the commenters are in this thread failing to recognize the value of that article.
