In many countries and regions, particularly Toronto and northern England, brothels advertise themselves as “massage parlours.”
However, while both offer some form of 'sexual services', the two are not always the same. Brothels always offer sexual intercourse. Many massage parlours opt for a range of sexual services, most typically masturbation by the massuese or massuer.
In northern England
Manchester, which has been called the “massage parlour capital of the UK,”[citation needed] has over 80 parlours openly advertising sexual services in the local newspapers and online. Reporters for the Manchester Evening News state that the police generally ignore these brothels, focusing instead on reducing street prostitution.
On October 12 2005 the Evening News reported that “A self-confessed pimp walked free from court after a judge was told police had ‘turned a blind eye’ to organised prostitution in massage parlours in Manchester.”[1]
A number of high-traffic websites feature customer reviews of parlours.
The success of the parlours in Manchester has led to a rising number of parlours elsewhere in northern England that follow the same business model.
In Toronto
 |
A Toronto Star investigation[citation needed] found that while Toronto massage parlours cannot openly advertise sexual services, about 75% do offer them. A typical scenario is that after a male customer has paid about $40 to the parlour management for half an hour (only a small amount of which goes to the staff), he enters a private room where the masseuse pressures him into buying ‘extras,’ ranging from topless massage (about $20) to “full service” (intercourse, $100 or more), directly from her.
