New York Massage Parlors: Massage regulations approved in Hawthorne

An ordinance creating regulations of massage establishments in the borough was introduced by the Hawthorne Council at the March 6 meeting to keep in line with new state regulations.
Borough Attorney Michael Pasquale said the ordinance is in part a response to the arrests made at In Spa last year when an employee was arrested on charges of prostitution. He said also that NJ statutes were last modified in 2012 regarding massage establishments.
“With the most recent update it gave us the ability to put a little more teeth into what we were doing,” Pasquale said.
In 2012, a police investigation involving the In Spa Massage Parlor on Lincoln Avenue led to the arrest of a 44-year-old Flushing, N.Y., woman on charges of prostitution. Police said the investigation started after they received several complaints about sexual acts that were being performed at the establishment. In Spa is still closed.

New York Massage Parlors: Village Strengthens Licensing Law

A public hearing held at the  Village Board meeting Monday on an amendment to a local law governing Licensed Occupations, which Altadonna said was necessary after last October’s prostitution bust at a Massapequa Park massage parlor.
Five women were arrested at the Fortune Foot Spa on Front street. One of them was charged with prostitution, the other four were charged with practicing massage without a license.
“There have been a number of arrests for illegal establishments,” Altadonna said. “What we’ve been doing, and now we’re just strengthening the law, is try and put the person with the actual license. And in doing so, I believe that’s going to go a long way to thwarting these establishments from setting up in Massapequa Park.”

“This local law will add to the activities in the Village which will require a license,” he said. “A J-Section, which will be massage parlors, and a K-Section, which would be nail salons.”

New York Massage Parlors: Federal Relief Costs Likely to Be Big, and Contested

Lawmakers and federal officials say they are determined to guard against fraud, which has marred past recovery efforts. Mispayments and fraud were estimated to cost at least $600 million in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
“Just as disasters bring out the best in most people, they bring out the worst in some,” said Representative Lou Barletta, Republican of Pennsylvania. “We need to make sure disaster recovery funds go to the people who truly need them. Those who are found to commit fraud and abuse should be punished severely because they are taking money from those who truly need it.”
Representative Steve King, an Iowa Republican, said during a debate in his re-election campaign on Tuesday that while he favored assistance to the battered states, they needed to come up with a plan on how to spend it. After Hurricane Katrina, he said, “they spent it on Gucci bags and massage parlors and everything you can think of in addition to what was necessary.”

New York Massage Parlors: On FEMA, Inequality and the Need for Better Government | The Nation

I interrupt my regularly scheduled cultural blogging to offer this: I, for one, am not at all shocked to hear Republicans saying extraordinarily moronic things about disaster management even as the ravages of Sandy are still upon us here in New York. The early favorite for gold, I think, is Congressman Steve King, of Iowa, with his statement, in an Iowa debate, that he wants a clear inventory of what disaster money will be spent on, because Katrina victims “spent it on Gucci bags and massage parlors and everything you can think of—in addition to what was necessary.” Where he got that spectacular impression from, no one is quite saying. Did some reporter somewhere mark a $20 and follow it down the Gucci-black-market rabbit hole? Every second that ticks by whatever ill-sourced, ideologically motivated piece of “journalism” that fact may have come from—if it came from one at all—gets shoved down into Google’s seventh hell, where I am happy for it to remain.

New York Massage Parlors: Boro-Wide Blotter

A caller to the Crime Stoppers Hotline last week led police to a man wanted for raping an employee at a Flushing massage parlor and for a similar crime at a Manhattan establishment, authorities said.

Cops said Blodywon entered a massage parlor on Union Street near Northern Boulevard at about 11 p.m. on October 17, where he raped a 55-year-old woman.
Blodywon struck again on October 20, when he entered the Butterfly Massage Parlor, also on Union Street in Flushing and stole two cell phones at gunpoint, police said.
Queens detectives are trying to determine if Blodywon is also responsible for an August 17 rape at a massage parlor in Greenwich Village, authorities said.
The 46-year-old victim in the Manhattan rape was beaten unconscious before she was raped, police said. The suspect held up the massage parlor after the attack and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

New York Massage Parlors: ‘We’re not prostitutes’: The sex surrogates helping real life 40-year-old virgins …

The real life 40-year virgins: Sex therapists provides treatment for psychosexual problems, mostly to career-focused virgins who neglected their love lives
The film 40-year-old Virgin may have been a successful comedy of errors, however for these professionals, it is no laughing matter with overwhelming embarrassment and shyness crippling their self-esteem.
Ms Arden, who has a Ph.D from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, explained to the New York Post: ‘The focus is not sex, but familiarity and intimacy. We provide an environment, not for sexual pleasure, but for sexual learning.
‘People tend to be ill-informed about what a surrogate partner does. They think of it pejoratively, the same as a sex worker, but it’s not,’ she added.
‘Just as you have legitimate massage therapists and people who run massage parlors, there is a huge difference between them.’

New York Massage Parlors: Surrogate partners give sex lessons to men with psychosexual problems

But she agreed to talk to The Post following Friday’s release of the independent movie “The Sessions,” which is already generating Oscar buzz.
It tells the real-life story of a sex substitute from California who takes on a profoundly disabled man needing to experience sex before he dies.
Arden hopes that the award-winning film about the late polio sufferer Mark O’Brien and his surrogate, Cheryl Cohen Greene, will illuminate a much-needed light on the profession.
“People tend to be ill-informed about what a surrogate partner does. They think of it pejoratively, the same as a sex worker, but it’s not,” she said.
“Just as you have legitimate massage therapists and people who run massage parlours, there is a huge difference between them. You would typically need a partner to resolve most sexual problems and for single men that is obviously an issue,” she explained
