They presumably must have a somewhat different perception, or they wouldn't touch me themselves. OTOH, most of my existing romantic poly relationships include little (1-2 times/year) or no sexual intimacy at all, so perhaps the gap in perceptions isn't wide. And I'm certainly not flirted-with-intent or pursued among friends, even casually.
To lose that view... I suppose I'd need counter-evidence. Two of my partners like me to hold them, and I often feel more attractive and interesting when I'm with them. Socially, though, around here in CA my impression is that I'm considered an also-ran, if not a booby-prize.
Even as a paid service, there must be more-pleasant and less-pleasant clients to touch, massage-wise...
