Is it normal for a masseur to offer "extras"?

[OrangeChips1]

My DH has a job which takes it's toll on his back so he gets occasional massages to try and straighten the knots out. I do give it a go but I can't get deep enough.

More often than not, it gets to the end of the massage and he's offered "extras" which really freaks him out. These are legit places in spas or gyms or on the high street with staff wearing uniforms etc.
We've noticed that when I've booked them on his behalf (as a gift or whatever) this doesn't happen.

Is it just the done thing and we're both naive about this? I never get offered any extras so I was always of the belief that a massage was a massage unless you go to a certain type of place 🤷🙈

YABU = you're naive
YANBU = that sounds like unusually bad luck

This happened to my bil on a work trip in Asia. They booked a massage in one place and enjoyed it. Moved on to a new city and did the same. He quickly realised that the masseur was a sex worker and managed to convince her he wasn’t there for that. Though she tried to persuade him his wife would never know, he insisted his wife was very clever! Having finally got her out of the room he went to rescue his colleague who he found similarly terrified and protesting he had not ordered sex. They were both quite horrified. It had never occurred to them that businessmen actually did this but they do.

People commenting that wives/partners must be idiots and that their partners are liars are uninformed and judgemental. My Husband I can assure you is disabled and only goes for help. I have watched him for over a decade struggle in pain on a daily basis and he is just after help with his condition and certainly not to be propositioned with 'extras'.

I have a relative who owns a Thai massage spa. She and her staff are trained and qualified Thai massage practitioners and are proud of their clinical skills. They hate the sleazy reputation of massage parlours. Some men ask when they book if “extras” are available - they won’t take bookings from men who’ve asked this as they don’t feel safe to as there may only be two women on the premises. Im really surprised that this your husband’s experience.
