Massage Parlors

Hello All. I have always shied away from Asian massage parlors as I feared the ladies might be victims of trafficking. When I see an independent provider, or one from a reputable agency, I am confident they are willing participants. Am I wrong in this belief?

I wouldn’t put money on it.
Independent more likely ok, agency, I wouldn’t trust Asian agencies at all.
Asian escort from a reputable non Asian agency, probably ok.

Yes it's better to not racialize the situation ...

Trafficking happens everywhere.

My apologies, I didn't intend to be racist; It just seems that most of the parlors I see online have Asian providers who come and go at a rapid rate., at least these are the ones I have concerns about.

Not blaming you. Society has built lot of unconscious bias like these.

Indies are less likely but not completely immune to it (if they have controlling partners/pimps). Well-reviewed and veteran indies are gonna be mostly safe in this regard. I don't go to agencies bc I'd rather the woman take all the money and I like to support independent contractors.
