Mushrooming Massage Parlours

Pick any classifieds section (of ANY newspaper) and stroll down to the "Health" section and the number of advertisements for Massage Parlours would bafffle you a lot, as it did to me!!

A few of them, hand-picked for this blog readers :-)

"Unwind yourself. Massage your senses. Awaken your soul"

"Luxurious Female/Male. Massage to relax and rest your body. Keralites for good body work"

"Special relaxation packages available with male/female massagers"

"APPRECIATABLE FEMALE/male. Home/hostel. Free pickup/drop"

Note the stress on Keralites in all the ads and also the Male/Female tag :-) And many ads were poorly worded, for eg. "Appreciatable", "massagers" et al!

My point - Why operate brothels in the name of Ayurvedic massage parlours? Another time to take stock of the situation and legalise brothels and massage parlours - so that such things don't happen in dark! If legalised, we could also prevent exploitation of youth/children who are forced into this profession.
