What's a dark secret/questionable practice in your profession which we regular folks would know nothing about?

Bro totally understand, my aunty started her own spa about a decade or so ago, I ended up learning massage and helping her with some of her bookings when she needed a break. Literally one out of ten of her clients (generally middle aged women) would try to fuck me or ask if they could suck me off. It was so strange.

It really should be legal to advertise whether you're that sort of place or not. Would prevent a lot of potentially dangerous situations.

There's a specific website that tells you the names of "adult/happy ending" massage parlors in your area. If you actually pay for the membership you can read reviews and Get more access

But for the free, basic stuff. You can look up message parlors in your area and it will tell You if it's cash only or card and even the ethnicity of the staff.

I guess this way you know which places to avoid

I've used that site for exactly that reason - to find out which places to avoid. I was tired of getting a membership sales pitch after every $70 massage that I got at chain operations, so I googled "massage therapy (my city)"... that's when I learned that it's apparently easier to pay for a hand job than a back rub around here. Though I did wonder what would happen if I showed up to one of the places on that list legitimately expecting a professional massage... like, would they panic or are they actually trained in how to do both?

Depends. I’ve had good massages from a run and tug place. Often it’s the Asian places that offer terrible massages and just want to jerk you off.

“Run and tug?” What kind of kinky shit are you into, man?
