or is it a hidden ad for a prostitute?

[happyAvocado]

please don't click on it if it would offend you
www.gumtree.com/p/business-services/massage-and-shave-in-sutton-surrey/1019529156
in short:
The title is - Massage and Shave
then it goes on describing her procedure ....
Shaving, on the other hand, achieves a completely smooth result and is a pleasant and soothing procedure.

I've reported it to the Gumtree.

Perhaps the op is just keen on reporting all sorts of things but yep it would be very interesting to know why

It appears that many people offering massages on Gumtree have to add "this is not a sexual service" to avoid confused customers.

Has the ad been removed?

I cant see the ad!

Perhaps this is OP
www.facebook.com/VizComic/posts/232249343458426

perhaps Sockreturningpixie you assume too much and draw wrong conclusions and such inference clouds your judgement

IMHO an ad like that which is offering such services with sexual innuendo is not in a spirit of that website

breatheslowly - you are right - other offering massages include notes like this:

NOTE : ALL OUR THERAPISTS have high level ITEC, NVQ qualifications or recognized EEA equivalent in massage therapy , therefore please DO NOT INSIST in obtaining any kind of sexual favors or services from them, as WE DO NOT OFFER EXOTIC, SENSUAL OR SEXUAL SERVICES OF ANY KIND.

I should have known that rather that asking on Mumsnet and being scorned for it.

£50 an hour is very cheap for a prostitute/sex worker/'masseur'.

what 'spirit' does @Gumtree' have advocado??

Its classified ads..notorius for offering 'services'

I never looked for such services - so can't say notorius, hence my surprise. Ad has been removed - I guess Admins agreed with me.

other Ad websites have whole parts of it just for personals ads

I drew no conclusions about anything I suggested a possible reason for your keenness to report a subjectively inappropriate advert for a massage and shaving service that could or could not be a cover up ad for a sex worker but may very well be just for a massage and shaving service.

So is it not being in the sprit the actual reason you reported?

so, would you be happy with the ad if it resided in a different section of the website under a specifically worded heading?

Which section was it in?

Busybody.

Boomba if you bothered to read this thread you'd see that I already posted it's location:
www.gumtree.com/business-services/sutton

yes, it should have been under different location, unless her services are categorised as business

Sockreturningpixie - I fail to understand your question: So is it not being in the sprit the actual reason you reported?

what are you referring to?

Prostitution is a business

Did you ask for the ad to be moved then? Which section did you ask they move it to?

how would I know where they moved it to?

boomba didn't ask where they moved it to. and you know that. why do you think people dont see you clumsily try to avoid answering the questions they're asking?

Several people have asked you exactly why you felt the need to report it you have evaded that question but you did write that you
think an ad offering sexual services was not in the sprit of the hosting site.

So I asked if it not being in the sprit of that site was the reason you reported it. Its quite simple really.

Why won't you engage with your own thread?

I did not say to move it. I reported it. If you read the thread or even the opening post you would know that.

Yes, as I said earlier - this ad was not on the spirit of the site and that why I reported it.

Please both read my earlier comments.

"this ad was not on the spirit of the site and that why I reported it"

you are not making any sense at all.

I have a lot more issue with people advertising animals for sale on gumtree than I would with a woman offering a perfectly (on what she has said in her ad) legal business service.

what did you say in your report message to gumtree?

The OP has obviously had her views warped from reading misery porn.

You had me deleted because I suggested you sound like someone who has a fetish for searching for prostitutes online?

It's OK. Some people like looking for worn shoes on eBay, some people like ropes & shiz.
