fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted May 30, 2016 I don't think legality will determine if you enjoy yourself or not. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Regent 35404 Report post Posted May 30, 2016 It depends entirely on the services. Paying for sexual services in Canada is illegal, however, the city of Winnipeg licenses body rub parlours and practitioners. The bylaws require everyone to be over 18, but forbid nudity and forbid signage and advertisements that suggest that sexual or nude "entertainment" might happen on the premises. So what happens during the session may or may not be illegal, depending on whether it is a "sexual" service or not. However, are you putting yourself at risk by going to a body rub parlour? Depends on a lot of factors, such as whether or not they're licensed, whether or not there are community complaints about the place, whether or not there's concerns about human trafficking or undocumented migrant labour happening at the location (obviously not the same thing but very often conflated, particularly in sexual contexts), your own behaviour (disruptive or discreet), and a variety of other factors. Odds are very good that you'll be perfectly fine. There are locations in Winnipeg that have been around for a long time and are no secret, and as you can see from this community, many people who visit on a regular basis without issue. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
