Is Erotic Massage Legal in all Countries?
In most of the United States, erotic massage is considered a form of prostitution, and is therefore illegal. Massage as a practice in the US is heavily regulated by respective state boards, almost all of which prohibit any act deemed inappropriate for a therapeutic setting. For example, Section 29.1(b)(5) of the Regents regulations on massage practice in New York state prohibits “immoral conduct,” which is defined as massage of genital areas and massage of a client who is not properly draped for massage, or by a massage therapist who is not properly dressed. A licensed massage/bodywork therapist is, in fact, required by law to stop practicing the moment he or she suspects that the client would like something more than a good neck rub, shoulder work, etc. While there are erotic massage services available, they advertise discreetly, and rarely mention the full extent of their services.
However, as these regulations are mandated on a State level, there is an exception. The state of Nevada allows (but seriously restricts) brothels, and thereby, some establishments there are known to offer erotic massage services. In addition to this, local newspapers will advertise the availability of escort services and “sensual massage” which, most likely, mean some sort of erotic contact. In addition to this, Canada, depending on province, allows certain forms of prostitution and erotic massage. One can find any number of “massage parlors” licensed or unlicensed in Canada. The unlicensed parlors, as they typically do not employ licensed therapists, offer specifically erotic massage.
Outside of the American continent, an array of erotic massage services, are legal to the point of being regulated industries. Amsterdam is famous for its red-light district, which includes not only coffee houses in which one can purchase and consume marijuana, but also legal prostitutes. The Dutch government registers its sex-workers, allows them to join unions, and gives them access to social services. Indeed it goes so far as to require STD testing for the health of the workers and clients. Although recent legislation has put a freeze on the development of any more red-light zones within the country, the sex-industry seems to be alive and well there. One would assume that something like a good old fashioned, and legal, erotic massage would be simple to procure there.
Among other nations, Japan, Thailand, and New Zealand stand out as havens for erotic massage. Because Japanese law is famously lax regarding prostitution, prohibiting only full on coitus, there is quite an array of erotic services available legally. For instance, one can go to a “soapland” club, in which he or she (for a fee) is lathered in soap and “serviced.” The Japanese government actually regulates these and other (non-coital) sex services. New Zealand also openly allows a regulated sex-trade; wherein one can go to a massage parlour and receive any kind of massage service. Similar to the Dutch model, the country attempts to ensure the health and safety of their sex-workers, and ensures that full on prostitution only occurs in licensed brothels.
Of course there are plenty of nations in which erotic massage is highly illegal. Most notably, Chinese anti-prostitution laws have a zero tolerance approach to any kind of sex-work for money, mandating the death penalty for “organizers” of prostitution rings. Apparently, one will not find his “happy ending” in Beijing.

Adult dvd – Erotic Visions $14.99 Watching erotic films is a wonderful way to spice things up, but there are a billion X-Rated films out there how do you choose? How to find something that both men and women will enjoy? All of the box-covers out there on the so-called ‘couples’ films look like they were made last yearthen you play them and SURPRISE! It’s circa 1980: big hair, bad make-up, cheap hotel rooms with ugly bed spreads and bow-chick-a-bow-bow playing in the background! All of them promise attractive people, sexy sceneryeven (gasp!) the holy grail of porn; a story line, but I’m sure we’ve all encountered this disappointment from time to time. The other women-friendly ‘story’ films we’ve been carrying are the ones by Candida Royalle. They sell well for us, but we’ve had a lot of requests from customers who want women-friendly films that are more current, and ones that men will like more than Candida Royalle’s. Cameron Grant is a producer who has been out for awhile and made his producing debut with Andrew Blake on a movie called Hidden Obsessions. His films are high budget; filmed in beautiful, exotic locations, all of the actors are gorgeous, the music is an up-dated, sexy, jazz style. These do have a bit of a story line and I still say that with a grain of salt but what works here is that there is generally less dialogue than other films, so the acting seems better. They are explicit, like movies in the general market, but women like them more because they are so beautiful. Usually one film will cover a variety of subject matters and venture into all aspects of sexuality, so even if a person isn’t interested in the particular arrangement in one scene, the next one might be completely different, plus everything else is so attractive on the screen it seems to be easy to watch. These movies are SEXY!!! All of the movies would be very easy to sell at home-parties, because the variety of subjects in each film would cover a broader audience. Working in the stores, I’ve often told men these are a ‘safe bet’ to bring home to their partnerespecially when she hasn’t seen many movies, or hasn’t liked any of them in the past. A series of short erotic stories, that covers many different types of sexual situations. |

1-900 $33.91 Theo Van Gogh’s outrageously frank 1-900 is a lot more than just talk. Two lonely professionals meet through a sex-line and begin a weekly rendezvous via the telephone. It turns erotic, funny, frustrating and even sinister, as they become increasingly attached to one another. Despite the initial rules of the game–the two can never meet, nor even know one another’s identities–neither partner can help wishing for more intimate contact. 1-900 is a provocative and sexually charged exploration of the boundaries of imagination, fantasy and power. |

100 Percent Erotica $56.25 A collection of very erotic, unrestrained and up close adventures. Stories viewed from different aspects, showing that sex can be eagerly enjoyed by both the young lithe bodied swingers and those amongst us with the more fuller figure and the experience of age. Very erotic and stimulating it certainly is, but the art of sex is treated with the respect and tenderness that the subject deserves. The dialogue, though explicit, is not gratuitous and is in keeping with the passion of the moment. If you only ever read one book like this in your lifetime; make it this one. |
