Erotic Massage: Legality, Pricing and What to Expect

Erotic Massage: Legality, Pricing and What to Expect

by

“Erotic massage” is not one service. In some countries it is a licensed massage with
sensual elements; in others it is a euphemism for sex work; in a few it is explicitly illegal. The
listings, the pricing and the legal position differ by city, not just by country.

We have written about the term, the law in several jurisdictions, how the pricing works, and the
health questions people actually ask. This page groups those articles so you can start with the
right one instead of a country page you did not need.

We are not lawyers. The legality pages describe what we could verify about each
place, with dates; they are not advice and they go stale. Treat them as a starting point and check
the current local rules.
