Court Finds 'Happy Endings' To Be Legitimate Massage Procedure

Looks like a protracted free speech legal battle is gaining steam. With the contempt ruling now Senate lawyers can file a lawsuit against BP. I suspect though this will be one of those dragged out long legal battles so shouldn't have much immediate impact of our hobbying. But, just out of curiosity, what other advertising venues are out there? Legit Craigslist w 4 m posts have dried up after their troubles a few years back (yes, many providers still reply to m 4 w posts though), City Vibe seems hardly used anymore and Eros seems too expensive for most providers besides the big travelling agencies to advertise on. I know our beloved USASG has implemented providers ads but that really hasn't taken off yet.

For those of you that don't know what is happening below is an example from Framingham but there is also legislation moving forward at the state level. There abound to be changes in bodywork behavior.

Looking for a tool to help police, Framingham is the latest municipality writing regulations to close the loophole at the state level and require practitioners of bodywork. Which is different from traditional massage. To register with the local Board of Health. The new rules would allow for unannounced inspections, prohibit sexual activity and provocative advertising and require therapists to have certifications, documentation and to be "properly clothed. ".

Framingham regs went into effect around the beginning of 2016 (December or January, wasn't it?) Waltham is the latest casualty. Its regs go into effect on the first of September. I've seen proposals in a few other cities. These municipalities are following the lead of others like Arlington who got tired of the proliferation of bodywork shops and concerns over trafficking. Many smaller towns which don't have too many shops ignore them. The regulations for bodywork are pretty much the same from city to city, with a few outliers. In each case, the shops which are serious adapt by getting licensed, usually for massage, which is regulated by the MA DPL and is actually less oppressive than the local boards of health. The shops in Waltham are already preparing, at least the smart ones are. Yes, we will lose providers there, but, like Framingham, they will come back. There's too much money to be made.

With the municipalities stepping up with regulations which are relatively uniform, it's unlikely the Commonwealth will increase its purview. I don't think this is Armageddon for the hobby, just an inconvenience.

After all it has for 3,000.

Years in one form or another!!

Its been the news all day and I'm sure if you haven't seen it you can google it but the two girls are married and the one named crystal used to post on CL back I want to say 2009 - 2010 . Not sure if anyone remembers or met her back but I do and thought I'd post it here just to see if it brings back memories to any of you who might have seen back in her day of CL prostituting.

[QUOTE=MrNewton;3114818]Were these the two girls who see to do a 4 hand massage in Quincy?

I used to see them both then just Tiffany after they had a falling out. They were using fake names at the time. I actually became friendly with Tiffany after she left the hobby. She has long since retired, remarried, and has a nice career.

The girls may not even know they are being targeted or watched.

Thanks on the heads up on the article.

Funny thing about the headlines and the actual story, they don't relate to the headline at all.

Now, I am not saying that the headlines are false. Just that the article doesn't explain anything about the Nashua police cooperating and coordinating law enforcement activities with Mass. Police departments.

Instead, the article explains that personnel from hotels / motels in the various communities met with FBI and Mass. State Police, who gave a presentation on what to look for to spot prostitution and human trafficking activity. Nothing on joint exercises by the Nashua Police Dept with other police departments. Actually, the article doesn't even mention the Nashua Police Dept in the body of the article. Just pointing out the obvious.

So with all the busts recently it's gotten me thinking. I usually rely on the other review site for info. But how common does everything think it may be for LEO to create fake reviews to get people. I go both ways here. While it would seem smart to do so, would they really go that far and spend that time and energy when they really just want to shut the pimps and traffickers down? Just thinking.

No matter whether your guilty or not the newspaper will have a field day smearing your name. If you are found innocent you'll hear nothing clearing your name.

Will LEO lie to arrest you? You bet your ass they will. They get the newspaper to print the allegations, post your name and picture and it sends ripples of "OH SHIT" down the line.

If your spider senses go up think hard just don't get hard.

We all know that LEO reads Backpage and USASG. If you think for a minute that they don't use these sites to their advantage you really need to wake up.
