You know, you have to take the pants down for them to properly massage the buttock muscles. $100 for the happy ending seems kinda steep. I can honestly say, though you honestly won't believe me, I've never been. These places creep me out and never wanted to be the poor schmuck on the cover of the paper whilst being led to the paddy wagon.
I've had several friends who were regulars but it's just not my cup of tea. I would feel like the germs were crawling on me and I'd need an alcohol bath. I carry around a bottle of germx in my pocket, if that tells you anything. I don't know how germx would feel on my penis.
No happy endings here: lawmen announce prostitution-related charges for 7 in massage parlor raid
Birmingham police raided the VIP Spa on Parkway East Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2014.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Three men and four women have been charged with prostitution-related crimes following a Birmingham police raid at an Asian massage parlor.
The BPD's Vice and Narcotics Unit, along with FBI and ICE agents, hit the VIP Spa on Parkway East midday Wednesday after receiving complaints of prostitution and possible human trafficking in the small Birmingham business.
Three patrons were inside the spa when officers busted inside. Those patrons, who lawmen said were in various stages of undress at the time of the raid, are: Arthur Van Smith, 42; Sam Farlow, 66 and Randall Hadaway Jr., 33. All three men are charged with the misdemeanor crime of visiting an illegal house of prostitution.
Police charged four women there, who both worked and lived at VIP Spa. The woman police say ran the business, known as "Kitchen Mama," is charged with operating an illegal house of prostitution. She is 59-year-old Sun Tong Hyang.
The others charged are: Yung Soon Lee, 55; Chi Searles, 49 and Sun Burris, 54. All three are charged with residing in an illegal house of prostitution, also a misdemeanor.
Authorities said the business worked like this: A patron goes in and is greeted by what is called the "Kitchen Mama," usually an older, former prostitute who now manages the younger girls. The customer will be guided to a room, and pay for a regular massage. Afterward, negotiations begin for sex, including oral sex, intercourse or masturbation. "They call it the Happy Ending," said Vice and Narcotics Lt. Ron Sellers said. The price is $100.
Birmingham police have raided other similar businesses, including the Bali Spa, over the past year. Such "spas," Sellers said, are nuisances. "Anything that involves a lot of currency always brings other crimes, like robbery, " Sellers said. "Either way, it's a blight on the community."
Police spokesman Lt. Sean Edwards said the investigation is ongoing. Immigration and Customs agents said some of the women charged are possibly in the United States illegally. One of them, Edwards said, may face deportation for previous offenses.
