massage parlors
Definition
- Massage parlors are commercial establishments where customers can purchase a massage. Some massage parlors are legitimate businesses offering a wide range of massage and spa services; however, other massage parlors offer erotic or sensual massages and operate illegally by having masseuses (far more prevalent than masseurs) provide sexual services in exchange for money, mainly to male clientele.
