massage parlor
Rub-down establishment
A massage parlor is an establishment offering massage services.
The term often carries a seedy connotation, implying a front for prostitution—customers receive sexual services rather than therapeutic bodywork: The police raided several massage parlors in the crackdown.
Legitimate massage businesses typically call themselves spas or clinics to avoid the association.
