BuzzFeed ^ | November 26, 2017 | Katie J.M. Baker

On May 2, 2015, Susan Ingram lay facedown in the dark at her local Massage Envy in West Chester, Pennsylvania, one of the franchise’s nearly 1,200 spas nationwide. It was her seventh session with James Deiter, a massage therapist whom the spa had enthusiastically recommended. By now, Ingram trusted Deiter, and she closed her eyes and relaxed as he worked her muscles.

If you read the article closely it appears the chain provides women with “happy endings” as part of the experience. I guess some of the women were less happy with their endings than others.

Why are some people so stupid to think they will enter a massage parlor that while they are being rubbed by the hands of unfamiliar members of the opposite sex, that nothing sexual can/will occur?

Because “the law” says so? Because a “corporation” runs it?

HA!

180,000 others loved it, and didn’t say a word. :)

It is all business as usual,and was going to be with single payer health and gun confiscation...(if The Beast got elected)till Mr. Trump came along. They had big plans for us. The forgotten Americans have spoke loud and clear. All that is happening now is why the hate and fear Trump so much.

Merely an hysterical paroxysm to release pent up sexual tension. I don’t know why everybody makes such a big deal about it. Geez!

Back in the day the only legitimate way to get a massage was from a member of the same sex. Opposite sex could be construed as prostitution.

Modern liberals and precious snowflakes have forgotten (or want to forget) that human beings are sexual creatures, and all that that implies.

It’s simply the normal consequence of the effects of progressivism on society.

Mixed messages about sex and sexual behavior in a context of permissiveness are core aspects of progressivism.

All of progressivism needs to be reconsidered.

Starting with a recognition of God and God’s Law.

A case study of the history of any perpetrator or victim, bar none, would reveal a personal story of how progressivism wrecked their lives.

And a direct causal link from progressivism to the above referenced sort of events would be demonstrated.

Best case in this for me is that their business drops off, and they lower the prices. This could be a good thing.

Excuse me , I am old school . I do not think it is appropriate for a woman to disrobe and receive a ‘massage’ from any non-related , non-relationship males . Need a message ? work it out with your husband , boy friend or significant other . Not some commercial male masseuse . And what is in the minds of any man that wants to make his living massaging unrelated naked women ? Seems like a no-brainer ; don’t go there . Can’t find any related person to give a massage? Get a hot tub , or some sort of in-home relaxation spa device . Or...same sex issues not withstanding ; females massage females and males massage males . If any hanky-panky develops in that arrangement report , on sight , immediately . Don’t go home crying and try and report over the phone later .

I’m a member and I’ve never had a problem there. I’ve had a couple of male massage therapists, but I stick with females now because the men were (believe it or not) too chatty.
