Different states have different laws regulating massage, so you would have to check out the laws in your state, but I would think that only the masseuse, not the client, would be open to liability for practicing without the needed licenses, etc.
Many states allow masseuses or massage therapists to travel to their clients rather than having the client come to them.
As for a hand release, this could be construed as a sexual act and therefore subject to laws regarding prostituion, however, I know of at least one jurisdiction up here in Massachusetts that looks the other way at that as long as it goes no further. It's a gray area, definately.
Talk to the provider or read her site with regard to how payment for services should be made.

With the lack of local decent massage parlors, I've been looking into outcall massages to my area.
One, are they legal?
Two, do they need to be licensed; am I at fault for not seeking their license and paying money?
Three, is there still a gray area about the hand release, as that is the most I would seek. I think you could not pay extra for HR as that would be illegal?
Four, should I treat it as any outcall and leave money in envelope and never bring up subject of money?

(I can only comment on the scene in Phoenix, but expect the same is true elsewhere.)
In recent years, many jurisdictions have adopted licensing as a means of managing the "problem of prostitution." Massage is a recognized medical treatment, and it is not is not illegal to have a medical professional visit you in your home. Unfortunately, advertising a therapeutic massage is one of the age old methods of provider meeting clients.
If she claims a license, it usually means one of two things:
1) She is a legitimate health-care provider. She will be fully dressed, and will do your back and joints a world of good! These ladies would be highly insulted, and rightfully so, if you suggested any hanky panky.
2) Unfortunately, some unscrupulous ladies who use this license to misrepresent themselves. They advertise as a provider, but have taken out a license from the local authority. More-than-likely, once you have paid for her services, she will tell you that what you want is illegal, and jeopardize her license.
3) If you want an incall sensual massage, look for a legitimate, reviewed, TER, provider!!! Most ladies can provide the massage you want, and it will save you money searching for one that will meet your needs.

Having spoken to many men that have had a "massage" from an untrained woman I can tell you that they were not pleased. In some cases these men were hurt because she did not know what the hell she was doing! I will quote a client of mine "The massage this girl (another provider) was pathetic....it was basically a young bimbo slathering oil all over me...I really needed the massage aspect of the session. She went RIGHT for the genitles and really had no idea what the word "sensual" meant! If you're going to pay 125-150 you should be able to expect a REAL good massage in addition to release!
Outcall massages are perfectly legal. Massages with a HJ are not! Prostitution is typically defined as "sexual services", not "intercourse". Feel free to check the RCW's in your area, but I'm willing to bet the definition is written broad enough to make what you seek illegal.
Two, licensed? Not many licensed practitioners will risk their licensed status and future income to make an extra x-$ by adding in that HJ.
Yes, treat is as an outcall if you do this.
*Also, not a lawyer*
RESEARCH the reputation of anyone you invite into your home please. Have fun and stay safe!
that you post this on Legal Corner BB and be a bit more specific as to where you are located - country, state and local laws vary widely - what is ok in Virginia Beach may be outlawed in Vegas....
There are a suprising number, I would guess close to 50%, of the women massage therapist who provide HR once the feel comfortable with you. They may also do regular and have a practice, but generally the rates for sensual massage with HR are 3-4 times those for plaiin vanilla massage...signs to look for: websites that show pics of the masuesse-is she young, attractive, and although not nude, wearing a sleeveless shirt that shows cleavage? When you first go, strip naked, but use the towel to cover yourself..but whenever the run near an erogenous area (lower belly, thighs, rear...remark..that feels good...but be subtle..if she does HR, once she feels comfortable with you she will make the first offer.but may take a second visit. Does she wear a bikini/halter top? Does she work in an environment where there is no chance someone else will walk in and interrupt...i.e. better luck with sole practicioners that group practices. With these as guides, you'll have no problem finding licensed masuesses who are attractive and provide HR; and, with luck and familiarity, she may go further and go topless, strip, let you stroke her body as she massages you. Or best yet short of FS, she may give you a stomach massage while leaning over/straddling your face. Just play it cool...wait for her to initiate the first move. BTY...higher than market rates are one of the best signs more is provided...e.g. 100, 120 per hour when clincians charge 40-50.
