livingonthe beach. I agree, it’s pretty smarmy…besides being illegal.First, let me say that I am definitely no prude. But… There are people who actually advertise in the “therapeutic” section, offering “massage”, when it’s really about sex. As a legit massage therapist, I find that particularly offensive. Friends have asked why I don’t advertise on CL. I did once…got too many requests for the proverbial happy ending in the responses. I also found a man, advertising massage for women only, was upfront about not being licensed (totally against the law toadvertise massage w/o a license), was located according to him on 35th SW, up near Swedish Automotive/Mars Hill, etc., area.He out and out talked about providing a “sensual” experience for women. Nice euphemism.

Of course, there are many men who will argue that it should all be legit, that it’s the most normal thing in tthe world – sex – and why not let the prostitutes get paid well, and tax them. And, of course, they also think that I should be more than willing to supply that happy ending for them..that it’s just part of the massage feel good experience. Yeah, right.
