Thus far they really haven't buckled to any pressure from any government body.  CL is another story..

Cl does require a license number in some states however they don't check if it's legit so a lot of good that does...
In order to place an ad in the city pages here they require your massage certificate and licensure information as well as ID to prove you're of age, I advertise there too at times but prefer online because the paper doesn't generate as much response since more people are online than reading the newspaper.
Personally I don't think a license requirement stops anyone but the therapeutic only practitioners from affording their businesses.
Would of made more sense to legalize it all & go from there as it's not practical .

Excuse me if this has already been discussed, but I'm sure most of us are aware of the new legislation on massage providers in the city of Minneapolis.  Basically, it seems as though you either must acquire a license from the city, OR be working at a licensed facility.  From poking around and looking at the application, this is no easy task.  
   
 Regardless of the rationale the city has for requiring this, what are the body rubs / FBSM massage providers going to do?  
   
 -apply for and get the license?  
 -quit the business?  
 -work UTR and hopefully not get caught?  
 -Move to another suburb/city?  
 -other?  
   
 I'm super curious, as I would think it will be REALLY easy for the city to enforce this legislation, especially since the means of advertising these services are pretty public.    
   
 I also wouldn't be surprised if BP and/or CL get pressure from city to provide a license # in order to post in the massage / body rubs section.  
   
 Just wanted to start a healthy discussion here, as I'm a huge fan of FBSM and prefer it greatly over FS (yes I have my reasons )  
 

There are cities that when they start regulating "massage" parlors.. The Parlors just start switching wording.. We don't offer massage but touch therapy, reflexology, etc.  Some will even refuse you service if you ask for a "massage".

The results being the same.. my nekkid body getting rubbed before some extra service play at the end.

Places that did not require it until now ... Most cities and states around the country it's required however there are still massage/body rub ladies and BP still allows them to post.

Most of the Lake Lyndale girls that were any good have left and are working when they can moving around place to place in the warehouse district. Not available as much as they have been but probably for the better. Some of the NE girls are saying they are something else like mentioned above so I guess they are safe - they just planned ahead.

Move around and/or choose the location of their incall very carefully and don't advertise it.

Were suppose to have escort licenses in MKE, but they are impossible to get. Arizona too. They can kiss my ass with all of this BS legislation.
