The History of Massage Parlors in Toronto ? When did it proliferate?

[Deleted member 79939]

Just wondering, was there MANY massage parlors
in Toronto during the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000 ????????

When did this massage HJ and BJ thing started to proliferate?

Which years were the best?

Can't give you a history but, I remember a body rub place near my school in the 70s. Walking to school, I would often wonder what the heck went on in there.
My school buddies mentioned it once or twice and wondered the same thing. Of course we weren't 'of age' and never ventured in, but we were curious. Pretty sure the staff and teachers knew about it too but was never mentioned. Maybe some were clients?

The mass distribution of Now Magazine was probably the biggest accelerant of massage parlours.
They started publishing around 1980.
In Guelph, we didn't have massage parlour until 2002.

They were advertiser supported from the start, probably made lots of money off the back pages (before that website), but once the internet took off, that probably killed a lot of their revenue.

They ran those backpage Ads up until about 3 years ago. Well into the Internet age.

The defunct sex add section in Now mag and the former Eye Mag alone with fact that Asian mpas often have the ability to suck and fuck well into their late 50’s with a following and use the money for tangible things other than substance abuse is the prime reason for the proliferation.
