| Happy-Ending Massage | comment |
Massages are good fodder for comedy because the near-intimate touching is uncomfortable or can create an uncomfortable situation. However, sometimes this "uncomfortable situation" is exactly what the customer is looking for. Beyond that, in fact, the customer is paying for sexual acts under the guise of getting a massage. When this happens, the customer will almost always be male, and the masseuse will almost always be an Asian female. Truth in Television; many massage parlors, especially Asian massage parlors, have been discovered to be fronts for prostitution or offer prostitution services on the side. Sadly, human trafficking tends to be involved. This is why "massage parlor" is sometimes used as a euphemism for a brothel. A recent variant in fiction has no "happy ending" offer after a massage, but rather the massage itself has that effect. The masseuse, with or without realizing it, is actually so incredibly skilled that (s)he can bring a client unbelievable pleasure with a massage that's never shown to involve anything remotely sexual. Not to be confused with a hero who gets a massage as a reward for his hard work of saving the day, which is likely a Massage of Love. Also contrast Miserable Massage, where the massage is anything but pleasurable. noreallife |

Discussed in an episode of Modern Life Is Goodish, in which Dave shows the audience a photo of a sign on a barber's door advertising "haircuts" for £7. He notes the sign's use of quotation marks and wonders what the difference between a haircut and a "haircut" is, and whether or not its similar to the difference between a massage and a "massage". | |

In the second Bardic Voices novel, as the church starts grabbing more and more control of the city that most of the book takes place in, they impose more and more religiously based rules on the populace, including shutting down all the brothels. However, that just drives them all underground, with some of them being covered as massage parlors where one can pay extra for a "special massage". | |

In The Dresden Files, Gentleman John Marcone, the crime boss of Chicago, owns a fitness center/massage parlor that's blatantly a front for a brothel. He also gives Harry a complimentary Platinum Membership and run of the facility, for two reasons. One, he's hoping to keep Harry Distracted by the Sexy, and two, he's very well acquainted with Harry's reputation as a Person of Mass Destruction and figures that since Harry's too powerful to be stopped if he decides to break into any of Marcone's properties, it's much cheaper to simply give him free access instead of having Harry blast his way through. Harry, being a Screw the Money, I Have Rules! person, never takes advantage of the former benefit. | |

In King of the Hill, Dale's wife cheats on him with John Redcorn, all under the guise of a massage treatment to help with her headaches. It is later revealed that John really does have a legitimate massage office, but it's strongly implied that his therapy works as a sort of foreplay. Played for Laughs when Hank, who is suffering serious back pain, goes to Redcorn for a massage. The office is clearly set up for seduction, with dimmed lights and romantic music that can't be turned off. The two heterosexual men are both incredibly uncomfortable, and just as John is about to touch Hank he says that he might try yoga instead, which John agrees to with obvious relief. |

Ayakashi Triangle: After Matsuri wonders if it'd be better if he stayed a girl, Suzu asks him to massage her arms and thighs. It was a way to demonstrate Matsuri wasn't comfortable touching girls, and thus still a boy at heart, but Suzu was also enjoying it sexually. Suzu tries the same tactic to break Matsuri out of hypnosis that made him believe he was always a girl. However, Matsuri turns out to be an excellent masseuse when not distracted like he was last time. End result: Suzu collapses in sexual ecstasy without Matsuri being any the wiser. Matsuri performs an exorcism on Suzu's brother Ritta while claiming he's giving him a pressure-point massage. Matsuri's verbal and body language are so unknowingly sexual, Ritta thinks he's being seduced. Afterward, Suzu asks for the same treatment, getting a Dope Slap from Shirogane. |

As it turns out, the policy was rescinded during Xianne’s hiatus from the parlor, and she just hadn’t been briefed on the change.

On My Name Is Earl, Earl is trying to cross the man he and his ex-wife accidentally kidnapped in an earlier episode off his List of Transgressions. He decided that, since he caused the man a lot of stress, Earl would book him a massage with "Camden's only legal masseuse." She's a bit worried because many guys in Camden (including, apparently, Randy) would attempt to invoke this trope. Of course, they find that Josh has died in an unfortunate Murphy's Bed incident, and (as Earl puts it) "there was no one who could massage the stiffness out of him now." | |

With enough leveling, he even gets a "special bonus" every time he buys one. Played for Laughs in a later conversation, in which a character states that he wants to get a groin massage, which creeps Wei out. The person then clarifies that he means a real one, telling Wei to get his mind out of the gutter. | |

Schitt's Creek: The Series Finale puns on the idea that the characters are all getting some form of happy ending with one of the main characters getting a massage happy ending. On their wedding, Patrick gifts David with a massage, and David is surprised and blissed out that it includes that kind of happy ending. Patrick is mortified, as he didn't intend that to be part of the gift and only left the masseur an envelop of cash and instructions to take very good care of David. Thankfully, David and Patrick are a solid couple and talk it out, and David even tells Patrick that he is his "happy ending" during their vows. | |

A fully consensual example happened in the She-Hulk graphic novel, where Jen gets one from her current boyfriend Wyatt Wingfoot at the end. It was only implied that a "happy ending" would occur; if it did, given the Hell they both went through during the story, it might have also counted as Glad-to-Be-Alive Sex. | |

In SPY×FAMILY, one of Yor's coworkers brings up that Yor used to work as a masseuse at a hotel before becoming an office worker to Yor's fake husband Loid, clearly implying this trope. In reality, Yor did more than massage her clients—she assassinated them. This being a secret, she doesn't correct her coworker, and allows Loid to assume the other lie, which actually leads him to praising her for her commitment to providing for her brother even if it meant taking on unpleasant jobs. | |

Whether the main characters indulge is not shown, but in "The Way of the Warrior", Jadzia Dax enters with a shirtless and well-muscled holographic masseur on each arm, and tries coax a reluctant Kira Nerys into joining her. | |

In Softenni, rival team manager Leo is descended from a family that specializes in massage, and he's known to be a remarkable talent that comes around once every hundred years or so, able to bring his clients to severe climax in a matter of a few minutes just by rubbing their backs and shoulders. Comically Missing the Point, Leo insists he's in need of further training because anytime he gives one of the girls a massage she winds up even more exhausted when he's finished. | |

Final Fantasy VII Remake has a non-sexual(?) version of this during the beat where Cloud needs to get Madam M's assistance to get into Don Corneo's manor, and she coerces him into getting one of three different types of hand massages (as in Cloud's arm). Choosing the "Poor Man's" option will give him an experience so rough it'll deal damage to the health bar, while the "Standard" option is a pretty relaxing, slightly sensual, but otherwise normal experience. The "Luxury" option, however, provokes very immodest reactions and puts him in a fuzzy, trance-like state once it's over, leaving very little to no doubt on how he really felt during the whole thing. | |

At one point in A Dirty Job, the main character had too much "sexual energy". Even though he ended up at a massage parlour, he didn't ask for a "happy ending" but instead later went to an "official" hooker. This led to trouble, as the girl he chose turned out to be a crazy incarnation of Death. Even the cop who saved him said that he should have just chosen the happy ending. | |

In Laharl's cameo in the Disgaea: Hour of Darkness spinoff, Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?, Etna seems to reference this when she says Laharl is going to massage her SO hard when they get home or she might teach him some new tricks. It doesn't help that Laharl is a Prinny in the cameo. She makes a Prinny massage her in the Drama CD as well. If you don't know what is going on it sounds just like what you would think it would sound like. |

Rumpole of the Bailey: Rumpole's client in "Rumpole and the Judge's Elbow" was accused of running an establishment that provides these. One of the other main characters (Mr. Justice Sir Guthrie Featherstone, a stiff-necked, somewhat conservative typenote He can't have been that conservative, however, given his deeply disturbing discovery of disco during a fling with a clerk in 1978-79, and the fact that he was a Labour and then Social Democratic Party MP before becoming a judge) thinks that he has been going to that parlour for actual massages, not realizing what was going on. He finds himself presiding over Rumpole's client's trial, and of course recusing himself would be incredibly embarrassing (effectively admitting that he had attended a house of ill repute if the accused were convicted), so he spends much of the trial siding with the defense, to Rumpole's delight and confusion. As it turns out, he was going to a totally legitimate parlour with an almost-identical name; good for him, as the accused was found guilty. | |

Because her feet are sensitive, Sumire feels the effect much more strongly when Okyo starts applying the spa's signature Pressure Point technique, and she winds up experiencing a quiet orgasm (for which she tips Okyo generously afterward). | |

Full Body Massage: A rare female example of this trope. It's clear from the beginning that there's a sexual element to the massages that Nina gets once a week from Douglas. She's obviously disappointed when Douglas doesn't show and a guy named Fitch arrives for her appointment instead. Eventually she admits to him that while she doesn't have sex with Douglas, he gets her off with his hands. | |

Phoebe from Friends worked in a real massage parlour. Her idiot brother thought it was the other kind. Awkwardness ensues. In a later episode, she mentions that the manager fires people who do this sort of thing with clients, which lands Phoebe in hot water when she develops a crush on a client and starts making out with him while on the clock. | |
