• Not criticizing it and it depends on whether you consider it “corruption”, but isn’t there a large underground market of sexual services via massage?

    I feel like it’s one of those things that if a cishet dude says they went to get a massage, it raises immediate jokes or suspicion.

      Pretty sure there is. Went for a massage recently, and ‘this is not a sexual encounter’ is explicitly in the terms of service you have to sign when making an appointment.

      • That’s kinda wild.

        Yeah, I mostly get massages when I travel outside the country and what’s a massage and what’s more than a massage is much more explicit in countries where prostitution is allowed. So, what’s expected is more obvious.

        If I’m in the US and have a girlfriend, always have to do a couple’s massage at least to start so she doesn’t think I’m up to something. Maybe I’m paranoid about it though.
