I’m a newbie and I hate to appear as ignorant as I am, but it is what it is. I know there is obviously a big concern about LE, but my question is what would I be arrested for? For instance I go to get  a massage and pay the money that was requested for the service, I would assume that is safe? What are the things I need to be concerned about?

I've heard pussy compared to a lot of things, but never the signature smoke and grease smell of Korean BBQ.  I'll admit I love the stuff, even if I have to send my clothes to the dry cleaner.

Hey, on a serious note- one time my wife suspected me of stopping for a quickie on the way home, and I'll admit to being guilty as charged.  When I went to the bedroom to change my clothes, she sat on the edge of the bed and pulled my cock out of my pants and started playing around.  I knew damn well she was only interested in smelling it, but I did a thorough wash up before hitting the road and it saved my ass.  She wasn't interested in sex or anything else after she had her sniff, so I know it was just a test because she never behaved that way any other time.  So be careful out there.

but you should be aware that sex for pay is illegal in all but a few counties in the US. Follow moderate behavior, do not shout if you orgasm and only be concerned when there is a police car parked in the massage parlor's parking lot. Also check local newspapers to see if busts do occur. Certain towns are risky but most are ok. If all you get at the massage parlor is a massage, then have no concern, but if the massage girl is asking you to suck her nips while giving you a hand job or full intercourse, just make sure the door is locked and I am sure all will end happily. Also remember to wash your hands with soap before you go home to your wife or fiance as most cooch has a tell tale odor that we all love. Also wash your face if she asks you to go down on her! If you forget to take my advice and your wife starts sniff'en round, just say you had lunch at a Korean restaurant. It's an acquired taste but once you get your tongue all the way into it you will enjoy it.

I personally would never patronize a massage parlor, not to dissuade you if that is what you are wanting to do. And full disclosure, I am a big wimp when it comes to TOFTT and other hobby exploits that even have a hint of extra risk from, as legal said, a technically illegal activity, which hobbying in any form is in fact, except for a few counties as legal said.

The main reason I would advise a typical hobby date set up with an agency or independent, incall or outcall, over a massage parlor is that many more busts occur at those establishments. One happened a few months back in my region (Louisville). Not that you would stand to get in alot of trouble, if your name is on file with them there is still no proof you did anything illegal and the LE is not interested in going after the clients of a massage parlor anyway in almost all cases. Even if you happened to be there on the premises during the bust you would probably walk away as they took away the girls and the owners.

But if you are one to worry over stuff it would probably be something that would be on your mind,ey? Remember, massage parlors are much more public than two adults in a hotel room somewhere, the authorities, especially in places where the bible means alot,lol, will be more apt to move on sin and vice that is operating right out in the open.

That is my thoughts. I guess if I was to give you one bit of advise if you do go through with the visit is to ask the owners of the place if they keep up on paying their income taxes....lol...don't actually ask them that of course, but that is what is behind almost all  of the busts that take place of agencies and massage parlors in this country - tax evasion.

I disagree...there have been circumstances, at least in Virginia, where patrons of AMPs have been charged with "frequenting a bawdy place" (VA Code 18.2-347) if on the premises when the bust occurs.

You had to call a phone numbrer from the ad, tell your car color & the mamasan would see you park & admit you.  They also had you leave by a locked rear exit into a parking lot & hike back to your vehicle!   I wasn't impressed with the services & did not return.  Oh, & in the end it cost more between the house fee & the payment to the girl than I would have paid for a FS provider.  In my area there are indy Massage girls who will give a massage & HJ "Happy Ending" for half that.  Those I do see.

MPs that have signs are too high profile for me...  Periodically they are busted in my area...  The Police don't have to look for them...  they have a sign on Main Street.  They must get traffic or they would not be in business.

If my wife unzipped me and pulled it out to sniff, I probably would not be a hobbyist.

As I posted previously, another time when she was getting suspicious about my late arrival home after work, she fucked me on the spot to see if I could get it up.  I dodged another bullet that day simply because I was young enough to take on two women within less than an hour.  

But yeah, I was living on the edge and it finally caught up with me, albeit for different reasons.  I was taken down by a one in a billion chance sighting of me with another woman, 60 miles from my house in a town neither of us had ever been to!  I wish I could channel that sort of luck into winning the lottery, but my luck always seems to be of the bad variety.
