That is just flat wrong. In Texas, massage is regulated by the Texas Department of State Health Services. From the TDSHS website:

"'Massage therapy' means the manipulation of soft tissue by hand or through a mechanical or electrical apparatus for the purpose of body massage and includes effleurage (stroking), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (percussion), compression, vibration, friction, nerve strokes, and Swedish gymnastics. The terms 'massage,' 'therapeutic massage,' 'massage technology,' 'myotherapy,' 'body massage,' 'body rub,' or any derivation of those terms are synonyms for 'massage therapy.'
Practices in massage therapy include the use of oil, salt glows, heat lamps, hot and cold packs, and tub, shower, or cabinet baths." (Emphasis added.)

From scanning ads, the real difference appears to be about $25-$50 and the freedom to post. Body rubs seem to cost less than full body sensual massage, and can be advertised in venues where anything hinting of more complete sexual service is prohibited.

I'd say the best thing confused gents can do is research the individual lady and see how HER menu defines what she offers.

Therein lies one of the "problems" ... "confused gents" are often treated disparately based upon YMMV of the "individual lady" and the disparate treatment can by YMMV for a variety of reasons ... including, but not limited to, the "individual lady" wishing that her +++ not be discussed in this or any other forums. So it's not. Then there is the "old fabricated" review.

In the pre-internet days it was "word of mouth" pretty much and the value of the information depended upon the quality of the "mouth" doing the suggesting.

I didn't want anyone to read what you'd posted and rely on it to their detriment.

If a fellow can't tell what a lady sells by her reviews, posts, profiles, ads, and website, I'd say pass her by and buy from a lady with more clarity associated to her name. There are numerous enough choices that it shouldn't be a discouraging effort.

i agree. I honestly planned to come back and correct that but couldn't remember where i posted it. I was reminded about it in this very applicable "foot spa" alert thread.

This is my field. Body rub = plain rub and tug. Nothing sensual. And you are clearly not being massaged. Fbsm is sensual. Teasing. Sexy. I expect to be aroused throughout the session not simply the last five min. I don't expect licensed quality but expect more than just smearing oil on me. It needs to mimic a real massage even if it can't quite reach its effectiveness.

I've found a very short list if people who can give a quality fbsm. But I'm always looking. I have a regular but I'm tired of driving over an hour one way to see them. Neither one of these includes a bj by default.

Your expectations are irrelevant...and the direct cause of the problems this provider had with this service...

Is that for me? I hope not. My expectations are actually the only thing that matters when I'm spending my money.
