I place this thread out of an abundance of caution, due to its subject matter. Alpha or Lynn, should you decide I am too much of a wimp, please feel free to move it.
In the New York Press, Unca Cece’s words of wisdom are found in the “Adult Services” section of the paper. Y’all may decide for yourself whether such placement is appropriate Being drawn to anything involving sex, I perused the ads last night, and admit to some befuddlement - I was unable to interpret what all the services on offer were (since the ads are offering illegal services, many of the ads use code words). In my never-ending quest to fight my own ignorance, I turn to my fellow Dopers for guidance. (and yes, I know I will get a few comments about my interest in the topic :p)
Please translate into plain English what services are really being offered by the following:
“Total Bodyrub”
“Relaxation Therapy”
“Body Rub & Roleplay Only”
“Hot Bodywork”
“Wrestling”
“Non-Mechanical” (used by a woman to describe herself)
If I come across any more, I’ll add them. (hehe, he said “come”)
Since most states and cities have laws prohibiting prostitution, prostitutes of both genders place ads euphemistically referring to themselves as “escorts” or “masseurs.” ("masseur for a man, “masseuse” for a woman.
You can tell the ads for legit massage therapists becuase they give streeet addresses with phone numbers, and they describe the services they offer, like Shiatsu or deep-tissue massage. Ads for prostitutes have only phone numbers and can be coy about what they offer, although the ads I’ve seen in the gay papers are pretty explicit.
“Total Bodyrub”-sex
“Relaxation Therapy”-sex with their socks off
“Body Rub & Roleplay Only”- bondage
“Hot Bodywork”-kink
“Wrestling”-wrestling
“Non-Mechanical” (used by a woman to describe herself)
I dunno, she’s not an android, maybe?
Not to mention that the NY Press has perhaps the lewdest ads of any real newspaper in NYC. I just don’t see why they bother to use all those little stars to cover up the nipples. It doesn’t make the slightest bit of difference, ya know?

Well this morning I woke up with a bad neck and back ache - probably from carrying around a 25lb. briefcase every day.
Anyway, I actually, right now have the Yellow Pages open to “massage” and was just wondering the same thing…
Here are a few gems from listings in the “massage” category:
“Specializing in total relaxation”
“New Beautiful Oriental Staff”
“Spring GlideRoller High Tech Tables”
“Beautiful Models”
“Special Chair Massage”
and the very popular “Body Shampoo”
Which I interpreted to be, just as Satan said: sex, sex, sex, and sex.
(I guess they’re not allowed to be as explicit in the Philadelphia area.)
And not what I’m looking for, at least not in the Yellow Pages.
Fortunately I noticed the next category was “massage therapists” which seem “legit” and what I’m looking for.
P.S. Anyody know of a good NMT in the Philly area?
