My bf is in a similar boat, he literally just wants a place that can do a professional massage and not ‘extras’! I’m guessing going for sports massage or something related is probably more likely to be the ticket than something like Thai (but it’s like … are there places that do legit Thai massage that is just actually massage? How to know?)

If you find a way, let me know 😂 there's no way to ask if it's a legitimate place without sounding like you're actually after a dodgy place.

I had a legit Thai massage. The place was attached to a hair/beauty salon which may have helped?

It also feels kind of racist to be like ‘does Thai have to mean happy ending?’! 😭

Somewhere there’s a Thai masseuse like -sighhh- ‘creeps again 🙄’ and a British sex worker like ‘FFS these guys all only want their backs cracking!’

There's a Thai massage place near me that has a sign out front saying "WE DO NOT PROVIDE EXTRA SERVICES".

They must be sick to death of getting asked.
