For many people massage parlors and companionship agencies are same as brothels—whether you visit one or the other, you get pleasure. But it first of all depends on a country, for example in such ones as Singapore, Australia, USA, Canada, UK establishments named as London massage, sauna or spa can cover up places providing intimate services…
Legislative system of different countries regulates the work of massage parlors in different ways.
In USA for instance in more than thirty states it’s required for massage therapists to possess some sort of license due to recent investigation that has shown massage parlors’ and spas’ being involved into companionship only masking intimate services with their names as salons. Some parlors do not provide intimat services but have an option of so called “happy ending” meaning manual or oral stimulation of genitals leading to orgasm. Many massage parlors prohibit a tantric masseuse to touch her female client regarding intimate aspect, but in some cases a further intercourse may be negotiated. The authorities are working on shutting down or making pay penalty the parlors that break the law.
In the East, Thailand is famous for its healthy Thai massage, but in Thailand it presupposes sensual massage. This happens due to human traffic when girls aged under 18 are sent to brothels where they live and work like in prison. Not only from Thailand but from several more oriental countries thousands of girls are sold to brothels by so called job brokers and finally most of prostitutes in Thailand are foreign women. Here brothels are masked not only by names of massage parlors, saunas and spas but even as restaurants and karaoke bars. Nearly half of all the prostitutes in Thailand are from Burma: straight from the border they are sold to brothels.
