Telegraph (UK), 2023-5-15: Everywhere you look there are hair salons offering shampoos and head massages for a handful of New Taiwan dollars, while reflexology and back massage for NT$10 can be had on almost every street corner.   telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/05/15/war-taiwan-residents-seemed-in-blissful-denial/     (PS: massage in regular hair salons is cheap, tips may be free, and massage time is short; but massage in massage parlours usually cost you NT1,000~2000 for two hours)
New York Times, 2021-3-21:
In Asia, massage is legal, normal and necessary. In America, it¡¦s stained by sexism, imperialism and sex trafficking.  ¡§Aren¡¦t they all sex parlors?¡¨¡C  (nytimes.com/2021/03/21/opinion/atlanta-shooting-asian-massage.html?_ga=2.4229488.2143597131.1619676290-916182465.1606396806)  
However, in Asia's Taiwan, erotic/porn massages or
rub-and-tugs are everywhere, even including some blind massage (worse in 10 years ago).   US state government - Trafficking in persons report, July 2021 and Jun. 2020: Taiwan traffickers also exploit persons with disabilities in sex trafficking.   BBC, 2021-5-20 named Taipei's WanHua district "Taiwan's red light district, home to tea houses and massage centers"   (news.yahoo.com/covid-19-went-wrong-singapore-232207544.html)  TIME, 2021-5-20:  a Little Secret Tea, Broke Down Taiwan's COVID-19 Defenses. "a little secret" implies tea houses and massage centers are legal and normal on surface, but are secret porn business  Even in some regular traditional massage businesses, some masseuses or female therapists rub customer's groin area (they use the term "®üÃä", "Hi-bian") while giving full-body massage, some go further to offer "happy ending" for tips.  So, you better select a place with reputation, e.g., "¤»¬P¶°" ( http://www.footmassage.com.tw/)  or 5 star hotel's massage salon / barber shop.

¡¹ WebMD:  Used as a complement to traditional, Western medicine, massage can promote relaxation and reduce cancer symptoms or side effects of treatment. It may help reduce pain, swelling, fatigue, nausea, or depression, for example, or improve the function of your immune system. Massage helps relieve depression and anxiety.
¡¹ Michigan State University : Ancient foot massage technique may ease cancer symptoms.  Reflexology is based on the idea that stimulating specific points on the feet can improve the functioning of corresponding organs, glands and other parts of the body.
¡¹FoxNews: Cancer patients feel less distress after massage therapy, study finds.    
¡¹America Cancer Society: While massage appears promising for symptom management and improving quality of life, available scientific evidence does not support claims that massage slows or reverses the growth or spread of cancer. A growing number of health care professionals recognize massage as a useful addition to conventional medical treatment.

Those parlors in ZhongShan district usually use secret code "0.3¡B0.5¡B1" to name their service, "0.3: means NT3000 for hand job, "0.5" means NT5,000 for blow job, "1" is NT10,000 for (S) sex service, some pure traditional massage or SPA shops also offer hand-job service, to get NT2500 a lot easier than hard-work massage. https://tw.appledaily.com/local/20201225/G5X6NBZAPJDINEDLPZKHFDVE5E/     https://tw.appledaily.com/local/20201225/KF6JYZ247ZDPNGGSDW5PMHAU5U/

Basically, there're 3 types of massage services in Taiwan : traditional massage, barber shop massage, and Thailand (or some South-east Asia countries) style massage parlors.  The latter two are more erotic.  Traditional massage could work out your tension, increase circulation, activate the right energy points (¥Þ¹D), and alleviate pains, if you get the right masseuse,  some massage workers in traditional massage shops offer "extra" service for easy money.   Having massage in Taiwan, pls. note :

¡´ health vs. fraud  / A story in Washington Post, 2021-3-31, said in the US a very poor neck massage - physical therapy referred by physician costs over two hundred US dollars for 45 minutes.  Taiwanese masseuse costs you only about 1/10.  United Daily News (8-23-2018) reported that, according to the law, any Taiwanese masseuse without MD license declaring they offer "therapy" instead of massage, or what they do have curative effect (e.g., lymphatic detoxification, cure plantar fasciitis, pathological massage) will get penalty fine.   EBC TV (ªF´Ë¹qµø, ¹t¤Ñ¨|¼Ö,  9-30-2018, "Hello Doctor"):  There's one case scraping (¨íÚ¯) improperly caused paraplegic problems ......  massaging improperly may cause LDH, Erectile dysfunction, Gatism, stroke.......  Taipei City Hospital (Renai branch) 's M.D. in ±d°· Magazine (12-4-2017) said the main difference between massage-naprapathy in medical clinic and various style massages in massage shops is that the clinic will find out your pathogeny (cause of disease) and give right treatments.  CTS, 5-4-2018, reported a Taiwanese person with hyperglycemia/hyperlipidemia/ hypertension almost die for having massage in Taiwan.

¡´ crime  / BBC 12-13-2019: The back-cracking Thailand massage has been added to intangible cultural heritage list by UNESCO, however, the form of Thai. massage in Taiwan is different.  Mirror (Ãè©P¥Z) 5-14-2019: Recently, lots of East-South Asian young girls entered Taiwan to be prostitutes ...  you may see them in Thai. massage parlors, as well as in some traditional massage shops.  Some underworld (gangsters) own both erotic Thai. massage and traditional massage business which may do something as well.    ¡³

       Yahoo headline 11-27-2017 ( and Chicago Tribune, CNN, USA Today, etc) : Massage Envy, a behemoth in massage therapy, is facing hundreds of sexual assault allegations, because massage has "built-in risk" , "just like there was opportunity in the priesthood, there's opportunity in the massage room... your guard is down completely".   Washington Post (11-27-2017): "ONE incident is too many".   CNA, 2021-4-23 (cna.com.tw/news/asoc/202104230056.aspx) reported a male massager fooled a young girl client that there are some energy points (¥Þ¹D) in breast and private part, then successfully sexual assaulted her.  Liberty Times, 2021-4-16 (news.ltn.com.tw/news/society/breakingnews/3502055): an old (age 57) masseuse lured a male client in about same age as her son into sex transaction.   Taiwan's CTV(¤¤µø), 2021-5-13, 7:20am: a good-looking masseuse's throat was cut by a sharp knife...  .    CTV¡BCTS(µØµø·s»D) TV News at 9-3-2019: a girl college student was separated her legs and was sexual harassed while having massage in tourist-site Xi-Mun-Din area,  TVBS News reported a similar case, suspiciously, was found in a  famous brand ¡y§õ¬±½÷²Ä¤G¥N¡z("ºÃÃzµTÁ¶©Ê«I" for details - https://news.tvbs.com.tw/local/353431).   Apple Daily (Ä«ªG¤é³ø) 12-16-2019 : a masseuse in Xi-Min-Din (¦èªùËm) foot massage shop did "kiss" "outrageously" a lady-customer's private part when she was sleepy during the session, the high court can't give him heavy penalty for lacking of evidences¡C CTV (¤¤µø·s»D) evening news, 5-19-2017, 19:07:  a female customer was hurt and was drew blood by a masseuse's "needle" .   The Liberty Times (1-8-2016),  a masseuse in a popular night market (RaoHe Street) did sexual assault (by fingers, and kissing) to a cute house wife...  I personally have unusual experiences of " doze-off " during a massage session -  in an obscure storefront.
       
Hence, please keep in mind to select 5 star hotel's or best-reputation massage shops for your perfect safety, the popular or crowded ones may not be clean ones.   Besides, having body massage in a private room is much more risky than foot massage in an open space.    For similar reason ( poor Taiwan administration),  Taiwan's most famous Toxicology expert & professor Yin M.D. (ÃC©v®ü, U. London ) advised that "Minimize the times of dining out to protect your health ! Taiwan's massage costs you more than all-you-can-eat buffet in 5 star hotel like US Sheraton or Shangri-La's, about NT1000 for 2.5 hours' lunch.  (Taiwan's traditional massage asks about NT800 per hour, Barber massage NT1100+ per hour, Thai massage is cheaper, usually NT1000~1200 for 2 hours, but tips NT500 ~ 2000+ for "extra service", by contrast, massage price in Thailand is about NT200 per hour, in China may even cost you less;  Some barber massage shops near Westin hotel, Sherwood hotel, EVA hotel were closed in recent years,  in Oct. 2018, two massage shops next to Sheraton hotel was closed )  uneven ps1: the female masseuse might naturally touch customer's groin near end of massage therapy,  and provides 40 minutes "service" starting from Japanese $7000.

Ecstasy in massage ?  particularly full body massage in a private room


CTV (中視)Taipei2022-7-7,  youtube.com/watch?v=-2h7dcrc19Q

The ecstasy method is constantly updated,  be careful !
n
M.D.¼B§B®¦ says, at least three different kinds of ecstasy:

1. Rapidly volatilizing liquid Armonia :  In high concentrations, it will cause an instant nervous system response. Rapid volatilization affects the central nervous system, causing loss of memory or temporary loss of some control, and even fainting
2. Liquid anesthetic (²GºA³ÂÃÄ): it will only numb the part, not dizzy

3. Gaseous nitrous oxide(氣態笑氣): it has the same effect but currently cannot be transformed to a liquid
n Police advise:  should you encounter this situation, move the medicine to toilet paper or towel, then enclose it in a paper bag, and hand it over to the police... not  in plastic bags as it may be corrupted
n solution:  in the first place drink a lot of water or inhale pure oxygen to help metabolize poisons

¡@

PS: The possibility of having massage by illegal or immoral masseuses can not be ruled out.

¡´ business is down -  even before CovID-19 broke out.  EBC(ªF´Ë) TV News at 8-2-2019 reported that many massage businesses in must-see tourist-site Xi-Mun-Din, such as <¨¬±j/ Simon massage>¡B<¬Ó®aΤ¨½ / royalbali>, etc prove keen competitions in the field,  in the past years 70% of customers were Korean and Japanese tourists (next were from HK, Singapore and local people), now drop about 50%.  Taking low-price strategy only leads to destructive competition, or useless at all, because there's no crowded visitors to come. Around end of 2019, top brand <6-star Foot Massage Villa Spa> (¤»¬P¶°, http://www.footmassage.com.tw/)  on Chuan-Ann E. Rd. was closed already......  All these most likely proves previous strategy, so-called "premium services" not working well  ――   CTS evening news (2-15-2019 19:15) reported that Taiwanese massage business are leaping at the chance to attract Japanese customers by upgrading to premium services  ――   Apple Daily (12-28-2018) reported that the number of Japanese tourists to massage shops is going down, because of a sudden dramatic decline of massage price in Japan, even cheaper than Taiwan's price.   Besides, according to TradingEconomics, the average amount of Japanese net salary in Nov. 2018, NTD91,109.27, is about double that of Taiwanese, NT46,542.   In earlier years, three main attractions for Japanese tourists were National Palace Museum, steamed bun and cheap massage, according to a Japanese writer's essay in Apple Daily at 12-28-2018.

The Guardian 2021-5-16 (theguardian.com/world/2021/may/16/lockdowns-and-panic-buying-in-taiwan-as-covid-cases-rise): ...the district of Wanhua, where a cluster of at least 100 cases so far has centred on hosted bars and teahouses connected to the sex work industry.  But,  Next TV news 2021-5-18:  Many foreign laborers from Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, etc entered Taiwan by the name of care-taker but actually illegally worked at these porn parlors in Taipei's Wanhua district, now have escaped to their boss places in southern Taiwan to avoid corona-virus test... some massage parlors ignored ban placed by gov. and still run business.  UDN 12-2-2018: Taiwan's ¡§New Southbound Policy¡¨ results in "fake tourists, true prostitutes", the number of foreign prostitutes hits top ever, some of them 'work' for massage parlors (some use sound-translator to communicate with customers).   (2018-10-28): young Vietnamese work as skin-care masseuses at day time, as street girls in ®ÛªL road & lanes after 11 pm.    According to The United Daily News (7.27.2014) and Apple Daily News (4.12.2014), many massage parlors in Taipei  run porn business.  Prostitution in Taiwan are, firstly, Thai massage parlors (¡u±¾¦ÏÀY½æª¯¦×¡vªº«ö¼¯©±(©Î¾i¥ÍÀ])), second, call-girls controlled by agents, thirdly, individual working studio or so-called one-woman brothel (¡u¤@¼Ó¤@»ñ¡v).    Some massage business set their market-positioning to be Thai. massage parlor as well as Traditional massage shop, so as to earn one way or another, hence some refine young house wives made more than NTD 100 thousands per month.     at 5-5-2016 reported "nude massage" advertisement  Apple Daily News (April 12, 2014) , according to what the reporter saw -  massage girls in Taipei all do prostate-care sort of half-package sexual service  (³£·|±q¨Æ³QºÙ¬°¡uÄáÅ@¸¢«O¾i¡v¡B¡u²O¤Ú±Æ¬r. ¡vµ¥¥b®M©ÊªA°È). Most girls in Thai. massage parlours and erotic luxury barber-shop (or namely, "massage fashion center", "spa massage", "audio-visual massage", "skin care studio", etc, or in Chinese "µøÅ¥²z®e, ®É©|ÓVÀ£·|À]" ) might offer some manual stimulation or whatever release the most tension, a happy-ending for customers.  Some masseuses in traditional massage businesses will rub your upper inner thigh muscles, and might go further for tips or for routine customers.

The China Times (1.19.2014)  : The massage became most popular business in Taiwan,  this sort of salons were opened  more and more in recent years for Taiwan's bad economic.  The China Time Weekly (6-2-2016): The 1st floor of Taiwan president Ma's apartment is a traditional massage shop.   Apple Daily news (Dec. 25, 2014) reported a scholar's study ―  the reason that barber shops and massage parlors in Taiwan offer "something extra" to "horn it up"  is Taiwanese people's sexual repression and men's "needs"/hormones (ps: but many Taiwanese customers do it just for "entertainment" and casual fun-fun - ref. to Next magazine 2015, No.722  ).  Most masseuse in Thai. massage parlors are mainland Chinese women, they are more powerful and more "open" than Taiwanese women.   If Taiwan's Thai massage parlors all get together in one street, that'll be a "China Town" in Taiwan ―  definitely the most special China Town on this planet.

Some massage houses are so popular (e.g., Foot-Massage Spa Villa) that customers flock to it, you may need a reservation in advance (just like Michelin one star restaurants in New York ), otherwise will be in a queue for service.   
Taiwan's media equated Taiwanese (foot) massage with National Palace Museum (exhibiting ancient China's treasures)
both are Taiwan's major attractions,  therefore, "Taiwanese massage" certainly deserves to be explored and studied - on the web-pages following top-rankings records below.

Basically, there're 3 categories of Taiwanese massage:

¡·

¡¹ (1)  barber-shop massages:  

        ¡´  1-1.   high end /   Taiwan¡¦s democratically elected representatives came

¡@

They, also namely "massage fashion center", or "spa massage", "audio-visual massage", "skin care studio", etc, or in Chinese "µøÅ¥²z®e, ®É©|ÓVÀ£·|À]", offer good quality of massage as well as luxury environment and atmosphere -  customers have private room, comfortable barber-chair, heart-delighted music, freezing air-condition, and a cable TV,  basic price for pure massage is about NTD1000~1300 per hour, other services including nail care, pedicure, hair-cutting, expert foot massage, etc cost you more.  You can select pretty massage girls aged 20+ (very few under 20), or senior masseuse usually with better massage skills and stronger muscle, energy, to do Zhi Ya («üÀ£) ¡CYou may experience pampering and motherly energy in here, but, most of luxury barber shop massage businesses are belong to "erotic massage" category.

¡@

  "Zhi Ya" means "Acupressure",  is manual pressure applied to a specific slightly depressed point (pressure points) on the body with fingers/hands.  However, only a few or very few massage female are willing to do acupressure and squeezing/rubbing guests'  muscles harder solely by their fingers for the whole session, instead, they elbow customers' muscle, or even foot-step on guests' back and legs, to save their own energy.  To my experience, they still are better than the blind masseuse called by 4 star or 5 star hotel (reception counter).  Please note, some masseuse may try to twist your neck like Turkish bath way, inexperienced masseuse may hurts customer.    


In Taipei City, basic massage expense range is NT1000~1300 (USD35~40) per hour, USD70~80 per 2 hrs., tips optional. (New Taipei City is cheaper, about NT400 for half hour)    In most barber shops, the customers, may just like an ancient emperor, having several girls around to serve you
  e.g., one or 2 masseuse do zhi-ya on your body & foot, another one does facial treatment and a manicurist does nail care, etc for you.   In this sort of barber shops, customers usually lie supine ( in contrast, traditional massage usually start from lying face-down ) on the barber-bed for being massaged, so that some evil masseuses are harder (still possible) to do anything tricky (e.g., daze customers by chemical ... for a moment) "after you".    Better select a shop with reputation for your personal safety.

     

According to ETTV news ("ªF´Ë", 9-10-2014) and The China Times' <Want Weekly< ("©P¥Z¤ý", No.041, 2015), the daughter in law(½²¨Ì¬À) of Dr. Lien Chan (³s¾Ô1936-), former vice-president and chairman of Guomintang (or say KMT - ruling political party of current government), loves Sakura barber-shop massage house located by Dun-Hua Ren-Ai circle,  ETTV news also reported that  lots of very influential VIPs, glitterati, love coming here, many BMW and Benz (worth many billions dollars) are parking at the front ,  TV stars like ¤Ñ¤ß¡B«J¨Ø§Â was here, etc, however, my Sakura experiences in last year were just OK, not perfect.  Their price is just little bit higher than other barber shops, NT1300 for 60 min.,  NT1950 for 90 min.,  NT2600 for 2 hours, doing a facial( °µÁy)costs you NT1400¡Bhair-washing (¬~¾v) NT500¡BFoot cuticle repair(­×¸}) NT500¡Bear-pick(«õ¦Õ) NT450¡Bshoes-polishing (À¿¥Ö¾c)NT150¡B hair-cutting(²z¾v) NT600¡Bmanicure (­×¤â) NT350.   Massage salons in 5 star hotels (see section 3 below) cost you much more.  A massage girl told me Sakura is a "higher class" place.

¡@

In recent years more and more red Chinese girls have been 'imported' to massage businesses in Taiwan.   More likely there're 'something' (out for a drink, etc) you can talk about with some masseuses  ...  The client may bit paw some masseuses while massaging.  The Liberty Times reported at 3-17-2008:  The module of sex trade in here is client buying masseuse's hours (paying take-out fee to the massage center) in advance, then take the girl out to hotel for love hog things.   The paper of Central Police University (Hsu S.Y., 2009) or Chung Hua University (professor Liao YihHsing,  2012) : The price of "take-out 2 hours" is about NTD 800,   the price for "vanish the cane" is usually NTD3000 One masseuse told me they don't have good reputation, but some of them still married a right guy (usually means a rich man).

      ¡´  1-2.   low end /       Older fellers, not the classics.         

¡¹

Recall a kinda "out-of-bounds" film <American Pie - Book of Love> , a very experienced prostitute, elderly Monique, dies while performing fellatio on a high-schooler.   In Taiwan, you got a lot of chances to try a Cougar in out-of-date barber shops.   The age gap might be a lot bigger than that of Trump couple.

Some barber shops having large black or almost opaque or obstructive door-height windows as front facade (to prevent viewing what's going on inside or how massagers look) offering sex transaction are hard to survive in Taiwan, there're only some (about 10+) "old fashioned" barber-shops in Taipei, e.g., around Yan-Ping S. Rd. & Han-Kou St. (and in Kun-Ming St. , Bo'ai special district "³Õ·R¯S°Ï" -  Taiwan Presidential Palace zone -  by contrast, erotic massage studios in the US,  typically, are not found on main throughfares, but in out of the way locations ),  doing pure massage for NT700~800 per hr., or/and do "half-package" ("half"  means 'hand job', "full service" means going all the way) for about NT1000/hr. ~ NT1600/90 min. ( price varies,  taking-out "full" service price bargains) by middle-aged (usually 40, 50+ some even outdated up to 70+) Taiwanese ( some are house-wife style, some others are terrible-looking floozies with fully made-up or even a belly-bag) and by chance a few red Chinese "house wives", few aged 30 ones (Mar., '15, Fall, '18), in small-sized barber-chairs of a preserved-in-time cramped working unit separated by a sort of office furniture screen, or cotton curtain, or a window door ― the darkness builds an invisible wall for protecting each couple's little privacy,  these sort of nostalgic (since 1970+) barber shops transport older guests back to their younger age, but still are less competitive than Thai. massage parlors.   In Sept., 2018, an old-brand barber shop namely "¸s·Ý" in Xi-Mun Din  ("¦èªùËm", a popular tourists district) was closed.  For bad business, some old style bright-light barber shops in Bo'ai special district offer dry-humping or even more.    

¡¹

TVBS 3-17-'08 reported, the prosecutor thought there's no wall and door to separate each barber chair, so it's hard to conclude there was any sexual intercourse done in front of many people probably over there, and therefore no one was charged. (news.tvbs.com.tw/local/163408)¡C He 'forgot' something dim lit or even dark light for the desired effect However, the Liberty Times reported at same day that a customer had sex with a massager on a small barber chair, their 'room' was separated by just some cotton curtains.  Apple Daily reported at  6-6-2003,  some porn barber shops are close to Taipei police station (within 100m), their massagers are older than their mom, price is NTD 1500 for half package, NTD 2000 for full service. 

¡@

In old style dancing halls you might find a lot of older women too.

¡¹

¡´ pic.:  the main difference between Thai. massage parlors and dark barber shops is the latter one has more older Taiwanese massagers looking like passing through all odds or vicissitudes, and a barber pole at front of the shop, their regular clients probably are older men.     In contrast, prostitutes in some legal places (e.g., 14 houses in TaiNan City ¥x«nªFÂ׸ô¡B·sÀç¼t«eµó) aged 30+, NT 800 for 20 min., 500~1000 for 30 min. ( ref to Apple Daily Ä«ªG¤é³ø2-13-2019) are cheaper and, maybe, safer.

¡¹ (2) Thai. body massage parlors:      eXotic + eRotic 

¡@

Thailand massage, or namely, Vietnam, Cambodia ... such some South-East Asia countries.  Thai. massage parlors have long had a reputation as fronts for prostitution, most, if not all, of massage girls are sex-workers.  
¡·

     Wikipedia's interWiki  wikisexguide.com/wiki/Taipei (April, 2021): There are Thai. massage places all over Taipei and in most massage salons you do have a good chance to find extra services. Wikipedia's interlink WikiSexGuide points out ( Mar. 2015) that there are Thai massage places all over Taipei and most places you have a good chance to find 'extra services'.   In contrast to so-called "astonishingly affordable" price USD 50 plus tips per hour in N.Y. (New York Times, 2021-3-21), about USD25 per hour in here ―  tips for "extra service" is not included.

¡@

The China Times (Jan. 13, 2015) analyzed those massage parlors without room-door-locks are not running erotic or porn business, but if this news-report is correct, probably there is no erotic-porn massage parlors in Taiwan.   The truth is Taiwan's massage parlors were very aware of the legal boundaries, and already exploited a legal loophole to run business ―  keeping each private massage room's sliding (side-pull) door closed but unlock (or set a small window on the room-door), so as to be in a legally "public area" status, in practice, no one passing by will open the door to disturb "business" inside.  Taiwanese police and prosecutors certainly can see all these tricks even with an eye blind,  they just play deaf-mute on porn trade.  UDN (3-16-2016) : recently, Taiwan prosecutors less likely charge the crime "Offenses against Morals" to strip teasers inside a room with door locked or just closed.  A widely known prostitute (©x¨qµ^, eventually she killed herself ) blamed that Taiwan's officials only deal with tiny little fishes, and let go sharks with connections ("¬U¤l´z³nªº¦Y"), this reminds me Taiwan's official propaganda commercial to the U.N., using the analogy of a tiny-little-fish-sized whale in a dollar-fish bowl to a poor isolated Taiwan.

¡·

     Typical Thailand style massage suppose applies deep pressure, and pulling, bending, stretching the body, and manipulating body into a variety of yoga poses.    The major difference between Taiwan's traditional barber shops and Thai. massage parlors in Taiwan is Thai's cheaper decoration and cheaper price     NT900~1300 (about USD35) for about 2 hours (about NT600~800 for 1 hr) on a tami style, very thin flat mattress on the floor in a single room (a little tiny cubby hole couldn't be tighter) doing body massage (Zhi Ya),  or about NT1200+ for 2 hours on just a hard bed of a single room doing "Essence Oil Massage"/"Aromatherapy"(ªoÀ£).     New Taipei City costs about same as Taipei City's.  Some Thai. parlors around Hua-Xi St. cost bit more, NT1300 for 100 min.  , they provide massage by Vietnamese girls.   

¡·

    Most massage-girls in Thai. massage parlors came from China (mainland),  particularly Fujian province (Fukien)       it's something weird, because according to statistics equal distribution     suppose be equally allocated to 20+ provinces of China.  Do Fukien specially love this job?  Workers usually are widows (married to Taiwanese) or a wife of bogus/sham-marriage ( aged 30-45, few are aged below 30),  some others came Taiwan by using the law, e.g., in the name of "Principle of Dependence on Relatives"  or by using legal loopholes, e.g., short term travels in the name of doing aesthetic medicine, minor cosmetic/plastic surgery, stow-away, etc.  Most Thai masseuse have rather plain (or worse than plain) look, you (very) hardly find anyone of them being as refined (or pretty) as the massage girl Shiao-Maam ("¤pÆZ") or blind massage girl Do-Hong ("³£¬õ") in the communist Chinese-French film <Blind Massage> which swept Taiwan's 2014/2015 Golden Horse movie awards  (ps: lots of Taiwanese blind female masseuses called by motel/hotel offer hand-job or even "hard-core" sex service),  Comparatively speaking, these red Chinese in Thai parlors are (far) less pretty-looking, worse breeding(±Ð¾i), less feminine temperament(·Å¬X¤k½è) (some are not only men-like tomboys but also sort of shrews) than those Taiwanese chicks and compensated dating  (´©¥æ) working girls being kicked out of Taipei's sex industry by former president Chen about 20 years ago.  Their best interest to serve is money itself.
     
      Only a few parlors attract or solicit customers by aged 20+ communist Chinese girls (e.g., rear of Taipei mainstation, Min-Sen W Rd. cross Sin-Sen N rd.), or by young cute Vietnamese girls - most are younger ones (e.g., Yan Ping N. Rd.,  or around Hua-Xi St. ), or by quite young Cambodia girl (e.g., Gin-lin Rd. cross Min-Sen W Rd.), etc (data Dec. '14),  or Ba-Da Rd. near  RaoHe market (Aug. '18) ,  or even by the poofter masseuses  (e.g., near Nei-Chiang St. cross Kun-Ming St. / running their business by keeping a low-profile
without a signage board at front-door so that passengers hardly find them).   The largest erotic-massage base filling with Vietnamese women is in Da-Li district and Tai-Ping district of Tai-Chung City (middle Taiwan).   Many parlors in Wan-Hua Dist. hired more or less Vietnamese aged 30+ ( Aug. 2015).

¡·

     Generally speaking, Thai. parlor's massage skill / performance is worse or much worse than Taiwanese barber-shop girls'.   Most of them can not or just don't want to spend too much energy on doing hard work by their fingers, some of them said Zhi Ya too hard may causes dim-sighted or Uterine Prolapse (20 years ago, a major news reported mainland Chinese masseuse is so "professional dedication" that eventually caused Uterine Prolapse, but probably not any more in Thai massage parlors nowadays! ),  they prefer to earn easy money-tips by "half-package" (hand job) services (another benefit for them is some guests may leave sooner) usually ask NT500~1000 depends ( full package - sex service, about NT2,000-3,500 ).   They usually don't seduce customers by rising lips, a tender half-smile or  flirtatious glance.  Adjusting dim light 50% turns all the masseuses into beauties, their octopus fingers and hot body language (or direct randy words), are their well-trained skills to boost clients' "demands", then the "preys" are blinded to make a pass at them then toy with them.    Those female seem to be totally "women's liberation" - not bound by old school, one university-graduate girl was waiting in lobby for her mother has "job" done (just like Japanese film < Muddy Riverªdのªe> ), that mother later tried to persuade her daughter to do the "job" for the customer.

¡·

     This sort of parlours are everywhere in Taiwan, in Taipei, most of them are located in Zhongshan District (around Min-Sen E. Rd. (Sec.2), Min-Sen W. Rd., Min-Chuan E. Rd., Chang-chun Rd.,  Gi-Lin Road, etc) , Da-Tung District, WanHua Dist. (Kun-Ming St.), also you can easily found some in sec. 4, Ba-de Road and sec. 5, Nan-Gin E. Rd. , Hua-Shi Street night-market tourism area...... (Tea houses in  lanes connecting Hua Xi St. offer different kinds of sex transactions )

   

      Few massage parlors advertising themselves "ancient/traditional Thailand (medical) massage therapy " are decorated with Thailand stuffs and some specialist/expertise diplomas, the Thailand aroma smell greeted customers since customers went through the entrance door.  Their women masseuses spend bit more efforts and energy than erotic Thai parlors',  they all (almost all) look like middle-aged next-door house-wife's stereotype      bit fatty shape and not pretty face, even man-like old "tom-boy", in spite of their unattractive condition, some of them still are willing to offer more or less "extra service" for tips, or give customers their phone number in a dim light room, for instance, a parlor in Min- X. Rd .   Most of them are mainland Chinese or immigrants from communist China, maybe few of them are Thailand skilled teachers, multi-racial girls.  

¡·
     If you like new experience, very few massage shops  (e.g., Min-Zu W Rd cross Da-lun St.)  use hard-working Vietnamese (both Northern and Southern Vietnam) only, most of them are middle-aged, skilled masseuses. 
     The name "Thailand" seems has already been
stigmatized in massage field,  but,  few Thai. massage shops solely hiring Thailand middle-aged women are de-stigmatizing toward the dirty name.  In there, most Thai women do massaging with more forces, more mechanical without an emotional hand, and are proud of their "well-trained professional tech." .  These shops usually don't offer sex service, and don't have private room for individuals, instead, a large room separating with long cotton curtains.   However, Thailand masseuses love to talk each other loudly in their own Thai. language while working, so sometimes or most time you may need an ear-plug to keep a peace of mind.   This sort of shops are located in, e.g.,  Shin-Sen South Rd. cross Jen-Ei Road(¤¯·R¸ô), Nan-Gin E. Rd. cross Jien-Guo North Road (Section 2),  Min-Chua E. Rd. cross Son-Jian Rd. , the one in Shi-Choun St. (WanHua Dist.) has few private rooms for zhi-ya service (closed '18) .

Taiwan travel advertisement

¡@

pic. : Taiwan's travel advertisement in middle East, a phony or inappropriate piece?


1) Even massage parlors in Taipei's 5 star hotels are not greenish at all,

let alone enjoying

being purified by the forest's unpolluted atmosphere, besides,  u probably won't see Buda-arts

 decorations appeared in many Western hotels.
2) If "full if green" functions analogical juxtaposition as adjective/adverb

 (e.g., studies show

  forest bathing strengthens the immune system), it's an ad for massage itself

(not exactly for TW),

  tourists' 1st choice will be "leading brand" in massage field.  Most Taiwanese massage

 parlors got tiny & crowded space, some basement smell ... or maybe some gas radon

 or sweet germs inside? not know how often they clean the filter of air condition?
3) probably not too easy to do "Buddhist meditation" there because next room

may be noisy. 
4) Nude body to appeal tourists? NCCU professor in Middle East advised it's no good.

 Gov. expressed Dubai chk the pic. already.
5) Not a clever or creative design just like almost all ads made in Taiwan.

¡@

Wikipedia's interlink WikiSexGuide (Dec. 2018):  One can find prostitutes in massage parlors, spas, salons in Taiwan.  Although prostitution remains illegal in Taiwan, over 100,000 prostitutes are working, and over 2 million clients pay for sex.   Apple Daily 12.25.2014: the percentage of porn clients of all Taiwanese adults ranks world No.1. 

¡@

How's Taiwan's prostitutes ranking? Are they pretty enough to turn u on?  Most working females in massage parlors are "dama" (middle-aged aunts) from communist China.  In China, clients can have very young (aged 20+-) and fresh prostitutes in the price of USD30 or so, which is a lot cheaper.

(3) Traditional massages:     hard-work massage, suppose
¡·

       Traditional massages usually do not offer naked sexual services as Thai massage parlors do,  although some may offer something additional, or even more -  according to the Liberty Times (1-8-2016),  a masseuse in a popular night market (RaoHe Street) did sexual assault (by fingers, and kissing) to a cute house wife who was naked, while doing "Essence Oil Massage"/"Aromatherapy"(ªoÀ£), another case was happened in Taichung city, a masseuse did similar things (ravaged her pubic bone and private part) to a aged 60+ female principal, and hence was charged  sexual intercourse by using power, and was sentenced to 16 months by Supreme Court (9-27-2016, Liberty Times) .  Taipei prosecutor office thinks Aromatherapy doesn't need to be total naked (Around the same time, a very popular TV soap '¤Ñ¯u¹J¨ì²{¹ê' of Communist China made an old-fashioned country-side aunt feeling ashamed about stripping herself naked to do masseuse's Essence Oil massage as a funny punch-line ), Taipei women police office advised better coming with a friend together and choosing a female masseuse.    Besides, CTV news (5-19-2017): a woman customer was pricked by a needle for bloodletting while being massaged.     News and cases prove the quality of Taiwanese massages varies.   Having an all-you-can-eat buffet in 5 star hotel restaurant (lunch at Sheraton, Shangri-La's, etc ) costs you about NT1000 in 2.5 - 3 hours,  same money gives you traditional massage in, usually, 80 minutes, barber massage in about 60 minutes, are those masseuse women ranking  5 ~ 2,1,0 star? or do they have related diploma ?

¡@

       The number of "traditional massage" workers in Taiwan is up to 100 thousands (Apple Daily, June 2015).  Customers usually expect massage-girls functional, instead of 'ornamental'.   For your best interest, customers/clients may test the therapist or masseuse if they have basic knowledge, e.g., massaging calf (back side of lower leg) promotes blood circulation and enhances metabolism to keep us from illness, or some important body-acupoints link to which organ ? e.g., pressing san-yin-chiao may releases menstrual pain, pressing zuo-san-lee is good for our immunity system..., then you can know your massage worker is a skilled teacher or just a cheap labored coolie - who may hurts your health.    Quite some M.D.s in ªø©° hospital co-worte (May 2013) <A Manual Acupressure¹ï¯g«ö¼¯¹Ï¨å>, a guide book with pictures,  can be your ref. to learn pressing certain acupressure for certain illness as well as to test the massage-girl assigned to you. 
       Traditional massage's  price in Taiwan is OK, but massage in China is cheaper,
Discovery TLC Samantha Brown kept yelling too cheap when she enjoyed massage in mainland China, some city's (e.g., ZhuHai - near Macau or Macao) street-side masseuses only ask rmb20~30 per hour (brokers pass phone-card in street, massage-worker to your hotel room), some country-side girls work very hard too.  So, I always push Taiwan's masseuses press harder and harder - to keep Taiwan's competitiveness.

¡·

     ¡·  5 star hotels:

          Many 5 star hotels in Taipei (The Grand Hyatt, The W Hotel, the Shangri-La, Regent, etc ) offer high class body treatments (massage) fit for royalty, e.g.,  the Shangri-La's health club is at the 6th floor,  Grand Hyatt's beauty salon is at the 5th floor, they provide many & various business items, e.g., Hyatt hotel hair care (11 items, e.g., prof. permanent, NT3000~5000), hand&feet care (5 items, e.g., foot whitening and peeling, NT1200), body treatment (8 items, e.g., full body aromatherapy, NT4500 per 2 hrs), and facial treatment (6 items).
          Beauty Salon of Hyatt Taipei has 2 small massage rooms with 2 masseuse on staff ( Taiwanese, 10+ yrs experience, not Hyatt employees, Hyatt outsource massage business to
outsider company, most 5 star hotels run massage business by the same way - outsource to a subordinate unit of cosmetic products inc, etc, ), customers are requested (optional) to wear a small paper under-pant for essence oil massage.    Today, the masseuse massaged me by using lavender lotion (free charge) imported from USA, and did not put too much pressure on my body, because, she explained, business-class Westerner travelers usually only want muscle relaxing or/and lymphatic drainage, they don't need very hard pressure on muscle or acupoint, however, the room is perfect in privacy (most traditional massage houses in Taiwan don't have very private or complete-wall room - hence lots of noises from next room ) for a completely relax/rest or a nap for their very soft music (sounds like Bandari's ) and dim light.  When my hour was up, the masseuse cleaned my body with hot towels.  No tips needed in here.   (Nov. 2014)
         If you are 5 star hotels over-night guests, usually the hotel (I tried EVA Air hotel in Tai-Chung City, ps: 2015 AirlineRating.com: EVA Air ranking world no.7, Asia no.1 ) you stay can call a blind (or
the visually disabled) female masseuse for you, with economic price.   EVA Air hotel in Taipei provides fingers pressure (between medium and hard) for whole session.

Chinese massage, Thai massage likes to do Yoga style pull & bend & stretch your body/muscle tendon/sinew, Chinese style massage mostly do Zhi Ya (press by fingers) and squeezing, rubberingThis shop declared by ads. on the net that they are ambitious to break through the 'ecologic environment' of current market, and to clear masseuses' reputation (objective is to be respectable massage-girls as Euro. masseuses are ).

¡·

     ¡·  <6-star Foot Massage Villa Spa> (¤»¬P¶°)  http://www.footmassage.com.tw/ is another widely-known massage house here in Taiwan,  the branch in Nan-Gin E. Rd. (section 5) got most number of workers - 80 ~ 100 or so, they do all kinds of traditional Chinese/Taiwanese massage items ( e.g., ¡» cupping therapy©ÞÅø¡B¡» Scraping - a popular treatment for sunstroke by scraping the patient's neck, chest or back ¨íÚ¯¡B¡» Reflexology¨¬疗¡B¡»­á¥Ò¡B¡» pedicure«d¸}¥Ö) as well as foot massage, essence body massage etc,  price starting from NT200 up to NT2600+,  Whole body massage including service charge is about NT2400 per 2 hours, oil massage costs you NT3600 per 2 hours, private room (TV, wash-room, lock door, 2-4 beds, etc ) costs NT200 additional (but no reservation allowed), here suggest you make a phone-call reservation for a  masseuse, heavy-work massage girls usually work at night time.  In here all masseuse and masseur wear mask while working to protect customers.   My experience in here is : the girl is very polite, attentive, and did an excellent job for every second on Zhi Ya"/"Acupressure"  manual pressure to a specific point/ muscle  tendon / Meridian / sinew (µ¬络) with fingers/hands.

       ¡·  Hua-Shi Street (µØ¦è) tourist night market has turned "Snake street" into "Massage street", you can find cheaper-price (whole body massage about NT800 for 1 hr., NT1400~1600 for 2 hrs., one store offers min. price only NT400 per hr. - you walk out of Hua-Xi Str., turn right, about 100m. distance) traditional massage houses in there as well as lots of Thai erotic/porn massage parlors around there.   Hua-Shi Street was widely known for its very-cheap-price sexual transactions with underage/teens 20 yrs. ago, are they still up to the same old?  Most lonely ones may enter lanes around or Thai. parlors for cheap sex trade.   How about traditional massage houses?  Recently (middle '15) I randomly chose 4 samples out of 10+ traditional massage shops in Hua-Shi street,  2 of them can offer "half package" sex service (ps: try 'phenix', I saw a cute Vietnamese with reclining posture in the lobby couch for selection ),  the other 2 did something bit "extra"  to me while doing 2 hrs. body massage, most masseuse are aged 30~50 women from local and red China, usually red Chinese are more willing to work harder for more money, but both sides some workers may have work-ethics problem,  or Taiwan has not been up to int'l level yet -  they don't give full efforts by fingers, etc.  A Chinese saying: 'just one bite can tell a bad egg', however, one bad egg can tell other eggs in the box are bad too?    
¡·
      
 ¡·  Another known tourist district, Shi-Mun Din (¦èªùËm, e.g., Kun-Ming St. etc), has many massage houses aiming tourists, a number of parlors of them looking like regular massage house, offer sex service with cheap price - about NT500 tips for half package, NT2000 for full package.
¡·
      
 ¡·  Lee B.H. massage chain-store (§õ¬±½÷) is another masstige (mass-popular) product positioning & marketing fragmentation massage house in Taiwan ―  economic price (whole body massage NT1200 fr 1.5 hr ~ NT1350 fr. 2 hrs. / Nov. 2016 ) and worth the value policy, Gi-Lin branch (red Chinese  masseuse aged 30-56, 2~3 beds in each very simple & basic decoration room) probably is better than other branches (¦èªùShi-Mun headquarter has more Taiwanese workers ), however, according to my limited experiences ( with 8+ massage girls there), most of them used their elbow (or/and feet) for half (or more) session ( don't use their fingers for hard pressure),  as for service manner, comparatively speaking, is worse than that of 6-star Foot-Massage Villa Spa (just like flight attendant's service).   Others may be better, I don't know, they have lots of massage girls.
      
¡·
        ¡·  Shih-Lin Night Market /  3 brands are in here,
               (1) Fly-Far is different from almost all other Taiwanese massage parlors in 3 aspects (middle 2015):
                     <1> Customers (unless familiar customers) are requested to pay before having massage service, so that you can't change the package ordered
 (e.g., you are not allowed to cut 2 hour massage ordered shorter, say 1.5 hour) if you are not satisfied with masseuses, the room,  noises, air-condition, masseuse's cough, etc.  This is quite different from almost all other massage business in Taiwan.
                     <2> Fly-Far owns 4 branches (very closer to each other, all in Wen-Lin Rd.) with different
positioning & marketing fragmentation, so as to earn both low-end and high-end customers.  However, customer can (may) order branch No.3's (higher price) masseuse to serve in branch No.5 (lower price, NT 1080 for 1.5 hrs. ), branch No.3's decoration is same or better than branch No.2's ( No.2's suites in 2nd floor are separated by just a simple screen, but No.3's suites are separated by wooden "wall" - although those are not  "completed" walls giving you complete privacy - you may still hear noises , cough next doors ), but No.2's price (NT2000 for 2 hrs., NT1500 for 1.5 hrs.) is higher than No.3's price (NT1200 for 1.5 hrs.).   According to my only twice experiences, the massage ways in higher-price branch is about same as those in lower-price branch.
                     <3> There's no store 4, because "4" is an unlucky number in Chinese culture, according to a masseuse's phrase.


              (2) Teacher Gee (or "Chi") 's lobby looks bit messy, particular in floor 2 and 3, Maybe that's the way to earn more money, because Fly-Far's massage girl told (may be just a joke) me some customers avoid their store No.2 or No.3 because they guess good decoration probably costs them more money, therefore they selected Fly-Far store No.1 or Teacher Gee.
             (3) EverGreen (¸U¦~«C)/ No private room, cheaper price (afternoon price : NT1000 for 1.5 hrs), some massage women are aged 60-70.
             PS: Two new shops were opened around here in June 2018.

¡·

       ¡· Shin-Ann («H¦w) massage house (http://www.«H¦w«ö¼¯¤¤¤ß.tw/ ) is the most widely known blind massage place, with price NT600 per hour, I tried one branch in Shin-Ee Rd., the fat and strong body masseuse can not do strong zhi-yi (hard finger pressure), another one looking cool, slender was doing shoulder massage for a Westerner.  Blind massages usually can be found in large hospitals (e.g., ºaÁ`), with same price NT600 per hr., but according to studies, lots of germs/virus were found in the air over there.

¡·

        ¡· Teacher Deng (¾H®v³Å,  http://teacherdeng.com.tw/s?p=sfmr&n=2 ) is another widely known chained massage store with about 20 branches in Kao-Hsiung, Tai-Nan, TaoYuan, Sin-Chu, etc, both  Zhi-Yi and Oil (oil price not included) body massages ask same price, NT2200 per 2 hours.   Being different from Lee Bin Huea stores, Deng's don't like to use communist Chinese masseuse, in their Gin-Lin store, only 2 from red China.   Their spacious hall lounge decorates traditional wooden sculpture arts, but the very bright-light massage rooms are not furnished very stylish (at least not suit my taste).

¡·

        ¡·  Raohe St. Night Market ,  Taipei Circle

       At least 5 massage houses in RaoHe Street, if my memory served, the house at No.100 has very private rooms with simple locks, No.107 is blind-people massages, some others are in No.99 and No.52.  I look around (not paying too much attention) in Taipei Circle last year, I saw lots of Thai massage parlors there, and only one traditional massage.    

¡·

        ¡·  TomHua St. business circle

       Around 5  massage houses in TomHua(³q¤Æ) Street, totally about 8 including lanes there.  Be careful about "puncture discount" NT1000 for 1.5 hours (Nov. 2016),  you get no discount if you don't have cell-phone for some codes.  There're a few massage houses ( one blind massage) in LinJian (Á{¦¿) night market.


    
¡· ¡·  6  Diao Tong  business circle : this place that Japanese tourists favored has around 10 massage shops, including barber massage and traditional massage shops.

¡·

¡·    ¡·   ´þ©M°ó  : Popular to tourists.  Here is filled with Japanese tourists before 16 pm, Korean tourists after 16 pm, usually.  The body massage price for int'l tourists is about NT700 for half hour, the masseuse serving me said they don't have higher income per hour because the travel agents taking some "commission", local customer price is NT1000 per hour, the masseuses are proud of having "higher class" customers (Sakura masseuses said so too), but customers wanting strong pressure may not like their fingers  -  probably they use their feet, and may not be very heavy (some are slender or skinny) .  I only tried once at Oct. 28, 2017, so, no idea about others.

  ¡·

         ¡·    Di-Hua Street (­}¤Æµó): Knife massage reported by LA Times (2015) can be found in here, you can have 5-minutes free try, call 0938-514-588¡C  Oct. 29, 2017

¡·

      ¡·    Nom-Ann, De-Hui Street (¼w´f, ¹A¦wµó etc  ): this area has lots of various massage shops.

¡·

¡·
      
A Japanese expert in massaging, ²L¤«¶©«Û, expresses in his book <¹Ï¸ÑªoÀ£«ö¼¯±Ð¥»> that Oriental massage emphasizes pressing by fingers, however, most masseuse I met prefer to use their elbow or even feet most of time, because, either they don't have such 'muscle' to do a heavy job or just want to save some energy to earn more money, while dealing with a stronger-muscle customer like me.  Besides, Even in some regular healthy massage center, you may have chance to get  "something" extra, but If you prefer pretty face and good shape, probably better try Taiwanese style massage barber shops, you may have more chances to see young and pretty dolls (more likely not fresh enough) in some shops there.

ending:

Taiwanese massages really have competitiveness?

  1. Many masseuse are just Coolie doing hard manual work.   You may give a quiz to some masseuse or massagers, e.g., only one acupuncture point, but many reflex points at bottom of each foot.  One mainland Chinese masseuse told me she can't pass my examination about acupressure (Acupoint, Meridian, etc) is because she is an illiterate person (can't read Chinese language).

  2.  Mainland (communist) Chinese masseuse like to laugh or say Taiwanese masseuse can't or/and don't work too hard Indeed, most red Chinese are willing to work longer and harder, for money.

  3.  Japanese expert in massage ¤é¥»²L¤«¶©«Û's book <¹Ï¸ÑªoÀ£«ö¼¯±Ð¥»> points out: Western massages usually use palm (¤â´x), Eastern massages usually use finger-tips(«ü¦y) and finger-pulp(«ü¸¡) etc.  According to my experience, most masseuse in Taiwan, no matter Taiwanese or communist Chinese, don't use their fingers a lot, most of time they use elbow or even feet if you need harder-press.   Business Insider (June, 2015) ignores Taiwanese massage while introducing Taiwan's tourism & travel.

  4. Most or almost all traditional massage parlors (except 5 star hotel massage salons) decorated not well, or too basic, simple, crude, and not private at all, you may hear noises from next "unit" (not "room", usually units are very close, and are separated by just a cotton curtain) sometimes or most of time, not to mention enjoying oriental Zen atmosphere or Chinoiserie chic decor.

  5. Discovery TLC Samantha Brown was too happy about price when she enjoyed massaging in red China, in contrast, Taiwan's price is not so competitive, and Taiwan style massage is not as creative as those in China.  China offers too many subterfuge or "cute" selling-points, e.g., "The Secret of Honourable imperial Princess consort Yáng " in XiAnn (¦è¦w¡u·¨¶Q¦m ªº¯µ±K¡v) and various spa items, e.g., almond frosting-surface spa, fruit Punica granatum spa, Paeonia suffruticosa flower spa. (¨d¤¦§ö¤¯¿i¬âspa©Î¥Ûºhspa).   Taxi drivers told me Chinese tourists won't do massages in Taiwan for money's sake.   Taiwan probably is not competitive with some other Asian countries -  Asia Travel channel (¨È¬w®È¹C¥x) at 3-3-2018 8:20pm introduced a massage shop in Thailand with various items and low price - about NT500 (less than USD 20) for 2 hours.

  6. work ethics in Taiwan.   besides, some masseuses had wet-cough or coughed up phlegm.     One masseuse told me they just want to survive and make money while facing politics.

  7. You want playgirls ? more choices in China, more cool and fresh looking in Korea, more expensive in Japan.  just common sense!
  8. Tourists may be confused erotic/porn parlors and traditional massage places, although Taiwan's major media reported that, unlike foreign massage businesses or barber shops, many local massage businesses  tried to add "something extra".   It probably is not too difficult to even get a blind female
massager who is willing to give or sell you a "half-package" service (~2016).

    

  Lots of Taiwanese famous & rich people love to enjoy massaging, e.g., former president Lee §õµn½÷(by «ö¼¯®v¦¶¯À¤ß)¡B former president Ma's mother ( Huang massage shop at 1st floor of his apartment), former PM Dr. Lien ³s¾Ô(¦¶¯À¤ß)¡BVIP politician Song §º·¡·ì(¦¶¯À¤ß)¡B KMT politician leader³s³Ó¤å©d½²¨Ì¬À(°·±d¥Í¬¡À]) ¡BKaohsiung mayor (now head Control Yuan) Chen °ª¶¯¥«ªø³¯µâ¤]¾a«ö¼¯´_°·¾i¥Í(<Apple Daily>, 9.9.2014)¡Band other top ranking politicians like Ãö¤¤(¦¶¯À¤ß)¡B³¯«F¦mµ¥¥ß©e»P¦h¦W¥x«n¥«Ä³­û¤Î°Æijªø(±s¤â°êÂå¾i¥Í·|À]http://www.e111.com.tw/)¡B Ò\¿ô­õetc (ºû¯Ç´µ¾i¥ÍÀ]»PÄåªá¾i¥ÍÀ])¡B§E¬F¾Ë(©ú²´«ö¼¯®v)µ¥ (ref. to <Want Weekly ©P¥Z¤ý>,2015, No.041-page22). You Wang (¤ý¤S´¿) to L.A.¦Ê¯ó°ó massage shop each week (<Apple Daily >, May 2016)

  

    About 20 years ago, Taiwan's current leader laughed at the US's having taken a  "hypocrite" way to treat erotic/porn business issue, nowadays, Taiwan is a  "hypocrite"  (or, suspiciously, even as an accomplice in the criminal structure) too  ―  Taiwanese government play deaf-mute on sex service everywhere.  Apple Daily News (Nov. 5, 2011) reported by its head-page:  the sex industry's annual value of production is at least NT 6000 million (USD 200 million)  2014) reported a huge prostitution base is Taiwan police station's neighborhood, but policemen gave "pass" to it, everybody got away with illegal transactions (ĵ§½®Ç´N¬O¤j²]¸]¡Aĵ¹î¤]¤£§ì) Apple Daily News (April 12, 2014) , according to what the reporter saw -  massage girls in Taipei "all do prostate-care", "Lymphatic drainage", equally half-package sexual service  (³£·|±q¨Æ³QºÙ¬°¡uÄáÅ@¸¢«O¾i¡v¡B¡u²O¤Ú±Æ¬r. ¡vµ¥¥b®M©ÊªA°È).

Prostate cancer risk reduced by sleeping with many women, but increased with many men

Compared to men who have had only one partner during their lifetime, having sex with more than 20 women is associated with a 28% lower risk of one day being diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to researchers at the University of Montreal and INRS - Institut Armand-Frappier. However, having more than 20 male partners in one's lifetime is associated with a twofold higher risk of getting prostate cancer compared to those who have never slept with a man.

Marie-Elise Parent and Marie-Claude Rousseau, professors at university's School of Public Health, and their colleague Andrea Spence, published their findings in the journal Cancer Epidemiology. The results were obtained as part of the Montreal study PROtEuS (Prostate Cancer & Environment Study), in which 3,208 men responded to a questionnaire on, amongst other things, their sex lives. Of these men, 1,590 were diagnosed with prostate cancer between September 2005 and August 2009, while 1,618 men were part of the control group...   full text pls. refer to    www.nouvelles.umontreal.ca/

Harvard University  : Frequent Ejaculation May Reduce Prostate Cancer Risk     May 19, 2015 (ref to MedicalDaily)

Men who ejaculated at least 21 times a month reduced their risk for prostate cancer by 20 percent compared to men who ejaculated four to seven times a month. 
 It's important to note frequent ejaculation was associated with incident prostate cancer, not risk for what researchers consider lethal prostate cancer. 
Research from the late 70s that found mortality risk was 50 percent lower among men who had frequent orgasms (two or more per week), even when controlling for other factors such as age and smoking.

Reflexology is based on the idea that stimulating specific points on the feet can improve the functioning of corresponding organs, glands and other parts of the body.

... reflexology¡¦s effects appeared to be primarily physical, not psychological.

¡¹ FoxNews: Cancer patients feel less distress after massage therapy, study finds

¡@

The stress-relieving benefits of massage have been well documented, but a recent study shows that massage may have more profound benefits that just relieving stress and relaxing tight muscles.  

The study, published in the journal BMJ, looked at the benefits of massage for brain cancer patients. To be expected, these patients often suffer from neurological problems, which affect their physical functioning, their cognitive abilities and their psychological well-being. 

They also have to deal with the progressive nature of their illness and difficult treatments like radiation, surgery and chemotherapy. Brain cancer patients typically report a high prevalence of depression and other mental disorders.

In this study, 25 brain tumor patients who were classified as ¡§distressed¡¨ received a massage twice a week for four weeks. At the end of week four, the distress scores for all participants were below the threshold for experiencing distress. In other words, the factors leading to their diagnosis faded away.

¡§This is more significant than I would have expected,¡¨ said Dr. Keri Peterson, a spokesperson for the American Massage Therapy Association.

What¡¦s more, the issues these patients reported as ¡§concerns¡¨ for them prior to the massage were no longer worrisome by the end of the four weeks. At the baseline assessment before the massages began, at least 75 percent  of participants reported the following items of concern: sadness, worry, fatigue, nervousness, pain, sleep and getting around. At least 50 percent reported concerns with insurance, fears, depression, dry or itchy skin, work, transportation, eating, constipation, tingling in hands and feet, and nausea.

At the end of week four, only 50 percent of patients reported concerns with fatigue. All the other sources of concern were felt by 40 percent or fewer of the participants. For example, while 100 percent of participants reported sadness at the onset of the study, only 40 percent reported sadness after four weeks of massage. The reduction in worries led to improved emotional, social and physical well-being.

However, when the massages were discontinued, the improvements began to fade, although they still scored better than before the study started.

Cancer patients have nearly twice the risk of developing psychiatric distress compared to the general population, and the benefits of massage may extend to those with other types of cancer as well.

Peterson said it¡¦s important to go to a licensed massage therapist. You can find one through AMTA's website. Be sure to tell the therapist what your goals are, Peterson added. 

A massage to relieve back pain is different than one that will reduce stress and improve one's well-being

What is the evidence?

While massage appears promising for symptom management and improving quality of life, available scientific evidence does not support claims that massage slows or reverses the growth or spread of cancer. A growing number of health care professionals recognize massage as a useful addition to conventional medical treatment. In a 1999 publication, the National Cancer Institute found that about half of their cancer centers offered massage as an adjunctive therapy to cancer treatment. Some studies of massage for cancer patients suggest that it can decrease stress, anxiety, depression, pain, and fatigue. These potential benefits hold great promise for people who have cancer, who often must deal with the stresses of a serious illness in addition to unpleasant side effects of conventional medical treatment. While some evidence from research studies with cancer patients supports the use of massage for short-term symptom relief, additional research is needed to find out if there are measurable, long-term physical or psychological benefits.

Meanwhile, most patients do indeed seem to feel better after massage, which may result in substantial relief. A 2005 review of research reported that massage therapy has been shown to reduce pain and anxiety in randomized controlled trials. Large, well-controlled studies are still needed to determine the long-term health benefits of massage.

A special type of massage called manual lymph drainage (MLD) is done as part of Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT), which is used to treat lymphedema after certain cancer surgeries. CDT also includes external compression garments, special exercises, and skin care. This treatment is usually done by lymphedema specialists rather than general-practice massage therapists. Studies suggest that outcomes of this 4-part treatment can be very good if started early enough.

Are there any possible problems or complications?

People with rheumatoid arthritis, cancer that has spread to the bone, spine injuries, osteoporosis, or other bone diseases that could be worsened by physical manipulation should avoid physical manipulation or deep pressure. Manipulation of a bone that is already weakened by cancer metastasis could result in a bone fracture. People who have had radiation therapy may find even light touch on the treatment area to be uncomfortable. A few people have allergic reactions to lotions or oils used during massage, and this may be more common among patients receiving radiation treatment.

Patients with low blood platelet counts (a common side effect of chemotherapy) or who are taking blood-thinning medication such as warfarin (Coumadin) may be susceptible to easy bruising and should ask their doctor whether massage is safe for them.

Another concern for people who have cancer is that, in theory, tissue manipulation in the area of a tumor might increase the risk that cancer cells will travel to other parts of the body. It might be prudent for cancer patients to avoid massage near tumors and lumps that could be cancerous until this question is clearly answered.

People with cancer and chronic conditions such as arthritis and heart disease should consult their physicians before undergoing any type of therapy that involves manipulation of joints and muscles. Massage should be provided by a trained professional with expertise in working safely with people with cancer and with cancer survivors. It is important that the massage therapist know about your cancer and its treatment. Generally, gentle massage and bodywork can be adapted to meet the needs of cancer patients.

It is also important for people who have cancer to let their medical care provider know they are receiving massage. Family members and other caregivers can be instructed in certain massage techniques as well.

Relying on this treatment alone and delaying or avoiding conventional medical care for cancer may have serious health consequences.

   12 pm till 5 am early morning, many packs of hot girls stood at front of the Gin-Di Building (Chinese namely "ª÷«Ò") or lanes aside.   Many prostitutes here are aged 25~35, 40% of them are mainland Chinese, 40 % Taiwanese, 20% are South-Eastern Asian girls.

     The transaction price (NT1300 ~ 1600, about USD50 per time - 15 minutes, hotel room free ) is much cheaper than regular price (NT3000~5000 per 40 min., hotel fee plus) of this kind in Taipei.

     Many of Gin-Di girls were night-club (°s©±) girls, while getting older, they came here for being less competitive with those new-coming club girls aged 20+ .

     Residents or business men nearby expressed those wild girls took  far from secretive way to show up for being chosen.    A police station is very close to Gin-Di building.

     Other major sex business bases, e.g., Hua-Shi Street girls ask NT600~1000 per 20 minutes, Kee-Lung Railway area (°ò¶©ÅK¤ä¸ô) price NT1200 ~ 1500 per 15 min.

 A well-known politician Wu B.S. (§d§B¶¯) has a widely-known saying:  Every Taiwanese,  except the police, knows illegal 'Casino' houses are everywhere in Taiwan.  Taiwan's prostitution is about the same.  (Police announced at 5-5-2015 "completely root out sex business" (according to The China Times, 5-5-2015 ¼ÐÃD"...¥þ­±±½°£¦â±¡"), eventually, only 3 cases in massage parlors got caught, according to official report by Taiwan's Central News Agency, 5-10-2015 )
