Massage Parlors

Hello All. I have always shied away from Asian massage parlors as I feared the ladies might be victims of trafficking. When I see an independent provider, or one from a reputable agency, I am confident they are willing participants. Am I wrong in this belief?

I wouldn’t put money on it.
Independent more likely ok, agency, I wouldn’t trust Asian agencies at all.
Asian escort from a reputable non Asian agency, probably ok.

Yes it's better to not racialize the situation ...

Trafficking happens everywhere.

My apologies, I didn't intend to be racist; It just seems that most of the parlors I see online have Asian providers who come and go at a rapid rate., at least these are the ones I have concerns about.

Not blaming you. Society has built lot of unconscious bias like these.

Indies are less likely but not completely immune to it (if they have controlling partners/pimps). Well-reviewed and veteran indies are gonna be mostly safe in this regard. I don't go to agencies bc I'd rather the woman take all the money and I like to support independent contractors.

If this is a concern and it's strictly asian parlours that generate this response in you then there are non-asian MPs that might be a better fit for you where the ladies are generally either european or latina. Having said that, no race is immune to trafficking, and it's best not to overgeneralize, but rather to examine the characteristics of the service you use rather than the race of the ladies you see.

It's interesting because it made me think that (on top of the AMP) in Europe there is a similar bias for Eastern europe ladies as well (Melanie, if you read us, cheers).
