How do you see this scenario...which is very common in my area:Advertisement for a massage....$50 per hour.I called one to check it out.(didn't visit-just interested in the number of ads and decided to call)Her deal was $100 for a "sensual" massage and she would be nude and "take care" of you.So let's say you do that in her apartment or wherever she lives,does this constitute a crime?You're in her home,right? Is this transaction legal because you're in her home which is private property? Seems as though this is a popular trend....just wondering.

I've heard that the MO legislature has gone after massage parlors and "private" or "sensual" massages. I believe that in the state of MO, in order to advertise or give a "massage," you must be a licensed massage therapist (licensed by the state, much like a barber or hair stylist). It's actually illegal to give a "massage" if you're not licensed. To get around that, many "enterprising ladies" had taken the term "body rub" to do what you posted about. I've heard that the MO legislature actually passed a law classifing "body rubs" as massages, and are going after the "ladies" that way now.

Still, if a man and a woman (who is of age, of course) negotiate "time" together, then go to his or her place, if it's in the privacy of one of their homes, I can't possibly see how what they do is illegal, given the recent SCOTUS ruling... The best that could be hoped for might be a zoning violation, for conducting business in a residential area. But I don't even see how they could go after the lady for tax evasion, if both consider the fee a "gift." And if that's the case, then there couldn't even be a zoning violation... If it were, then birthday and anniversary parties would have to be outlawed.
