More Than 180 Women Have Reported Sexual Assaults at Massage Envy

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.

I have used my local massage envy dozens of times and they were very professional and there was not any hint of anything like a happy ending being offered. You can ask for only a male or only a female therapist...and my impression is that almost everybody prefers female therapists including both men and women customers. For myself and my wife it is the same...and it seemed the people behind the desk had trouble filling up the male therapists' schedules.

The only beef I had with massage envy is they aggressively market their discount every month massage program...which turns into a hassle not unlike joining a gym if you don't want to use them.

This chain seemed to specialize in men giving women “massages”. IE it wasn’t a legitimate operation.

This is sort of like the cigarette smoking issue. If you watch movies from the 30's and 40's, everybody over the age of 12 is smoking...and many are admitting that cigs will kill you. Then they sued, years later.

Sign at massage parlor says:

• Disrobe;
• Meet your young masseuse;
• Lay down in small, low-light, private room;
• Spread your legs; and ,
• Have a happy ending.

Then they sue...later.

Apparently some of these therapists have three or more arms.

In October 2015, Danielle Dick was assaulted at a Virginia Massage Envy when her therapist grabbed her by the scalp, placed his hand over her mouth, then put his fingers in her vagina.

yes and there should only be women doctors for infant girls on up to old ladies and men doctors for infant boys on up to old men - or - according to your thinking all people should look to their family members/relatives for help with sick symptoms too.

Massage Therapy is a nobel profession just like many others. It’s not massage “parlor”, or male “masseuse” if any of you would take time to actually get to know anything about it. And just like their are plenty of bad people i n other professions their are women and men in the Massage Therapy field that are doing wrong by their clients/customers
