I'm Sorry If It's Elsewhere, Reviews?

When is a Massage Review an Escort Review?

A good body massage with a Happy Ending, Massage Review, no problem.

If she throws in some Oral.

Maybe some kissing.

Let's you have a good and intimate feel.

Where does it become more than a Massage?

[NickyBobby]

It’s a grey area really. Some reviews of parlours that offer full service starting with a massage. I would personally put massage plus light sexual services as a massage review, and anything that involves penetration as an escort review

[RandomGuy99]

It's always a massage review as you booked them for a massage.

[DastardlyDick]

I think we had a similar discussion quite recently on this.
For me the criteria are that if you booked a massage and got that plus a shag, it's still a massage review. If you booked for full service sex and got a massage as bonus, it's an escort review.

[puntingking]

For me, if it take place in a massage shop or if the main part of the session was a massage then it should be in the massage section.

However, if you see a full service independent sp who does a massage the last 5-10 minutes then it should be posted in the escort section. 


But I suppose it is down to the individual reviewer to decide for himself. 

[Kimeen]

I always understood that if the shop or SP advertises only massage then it is a massage review irrespective of what actually transpired. Until recently the massage reviews were hidden from non members so that gave SPs who were advertising massage only but doing more some privacy. That was important as these SPs often work from published addresses on the high street. Now that massage reviews are open to all I don’t really see the point of a separate massage section. Despite multiple discussions on here with the mods and even head1 I still don’t understand the rationale for opening up access to massage reviews. The discussion always gets side tracked into the changes necessary for the online safety act but nothing in that act stops this site from keeping massage reviews private to members. The change to open them up was a conscious decision made for some other reason that has never been shared as far as I have seen.

As above I thought the reason for a separate section was to attempt to protect the SP from prying eyes in the massage section that was previously members only. It wasn’t 100% as a combination of accounts set up to view and members leaking info led to some issues but it wasn’t better than nothing.

I guess if all the site is viewable with the aid of a VPN then it makes the seperate section just a way of dividing a “shop” experience from a indie/agency experience.

if the main part of the session was a massage with added "extras" then it belongs to the massage section. 

If however, you went to a place with the main part of the session spent without any massage involves then it belongs to the escort section. 

I for one, think it is great that we have a dedicated massage section

I'd 100% agree with that assessment 
I do think that you have to be careful in what you disclose when posting a massage review as some girls may offer more than a happy ending without the boss/ owners knowing and with many of them having access to the massage section can read what goes on. If a Service provider advertises sex as the main event with a bit of a massage thrown in then it goes in the escort review section . This is how I would see it.

[TomTank]

I'd say it's more to do with how they advertise than what actually transpires.

If they promote themselves as massage and you have to ask for extras it's the massage section.
Mostly Thai places but the occasional non-Thai.

If it's obvious from their website, or other stuff, that they offer all sorts, even if they call themselves a Massage Parlour, then it's the escort section.

I think it's very rare that the proprietors don't know what goes on, certainly for Thai and Chinese massage shops anyway, but they want plausible deniability if it becomes public knowledge.

Indeed. At one Chinese massage shop, the manager/ owner knows me by sight and talks enthusiastically about the new girl(s) of the week, complete with hand gestures to indicate bust size. I imagine if I was a complete stranger she'd be far more circumspect.

For Chinese shops yes, but not necessarily for Thai.
It depends on the area.

e.g. All the Thai shops in Liverpool offer extras.
       Chester and Wirral have mainly legit establishments with very few Thai shops offering extras.
        However individual ladies have occasionally offered extras at the risk of being  sacked if the proprietor found out.
