Q: Will pretty much any massage place offer "extra services" if you ask and offer enough money?

I'm not asking because I intend to take them up on it. The opposite in fact. Call me a prude, but I'd rather the lady massaging my feet  didn't just "service" some guy 20 minutes earlier. I just don't really understand how to determine whether the massage place I'm at caters to that clientele too. Obviously, you don't ever seen "HJs" on the menu...

 

So...any thoughts?

Yes there are(some places that won't offer the extra servicies). I have read news that once several guys offered extra money for "extra service" but were rejected by the massage girls. Those guys got angry and hit the girls. Later the men were sued and sentenced and had to compensate for the injury.

"Later,..............injury." Good! A******S!! :(

No. There are many that would be deeply offended if you even asked.

The pink light places will do so. The others, be careful before you ask.

Related question: are legitimate massage shops open at midnight? I can't help but feel depressed everytime I walk by that one place. I find myself contemplating slave labor and the ethics of human trafficking whenever I go for a late night stroll.

Xpat.John:

The vast majority of the girls are there voluntarily.  Granted, they may be there because they are getting pressure from their parents to provide for them and pay for their brother to go to university, but they are there for the easy money, not because someone bought them.

 

Yes, there are some who are basically slaves, but it is a relatively small percentage.

To answer your question, there are lots, if not the majority of massage places that won't provide additional services.

 

Of course, as was stated by someone else, if they are open very late, they probably aren't one of the legit establishments.

Mr NiceBrice:

If I may offer a suggestion, before you go to a massage parlor, and so you have no worries, do stop at a pharmacy and buy a pair of surgical gloves, and ask the person giving you the massage to wear them before touching you, and end of worries.

 

Now, if you have to ask for "extra services", most probably the parlor does not provide therm, because those that do and are willing to, as soon as they get you "away from the crowd", will make a sales pitch to you.  So, if they do not, it is because either they dislike you, or do not offer anything else than a massage.

 

Now, if you really want one hell of a good massage, seek at the city where you reside a parlor using blind persons as workers.  Do not know why, but they do give a good massage.  I do get one maybe on a once per week basis,  and cheap too.

mArtiAn:

  I've been to those blind massage parlors, the pain was excrutiating. I was afraid to ask for extras, I thought they might rip my pecker off.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
