-== Massage Therapy in America ==
-The first paragraph in the United States section talks about massage therapy. I missed this bit being added. I don't remember it being there.
-It starts with:
-:The massage therapy industry in the US is continuously increasing, with a projected 19% increase between 2008 and 2019. U.S. consumers spend between $4 and $6 billion on visits to massage therapists, as of 2009.
-What is the relivance to massage parlours? I think it should be removed.
-As for the second part, about licencing:
-:As of 2016, 46 states and the District of Columbia required some type of licensing for massage therapists.[17] Most states in the United States have licensing requirements that must be met before a practitioner can use the title "massage therapist", and some states and municipalities require a license to practice any form of massage.
-I can guess why this might be relevant. However, it would be better if we had something that said why, instead of guessing.  Should be at least rewritten to state relevance.

-:Hi [[User:Dannman|Dannman]]. I agree with you. In fact, I think the entire first paragraph of the United States section should be removed as it is clearly all about therapeutic massage rather than massage parlours. It's possible that the paragraph was intended to imply that massage therapist licensing exists to reduce prostitution, but neither source supports that assertion. - [[User:Polly Tunnel|Polly Tunnel]] ([[User talk:Polly Tunnel|talk]]) 13:58, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
-::I've removed that. Not sure how I missed that being added, but I have this article on my watchlist because it has a history of having material about therapeutic massage added. [[User:Plantdrew|Plantdrew]] ([[User talk:Plantdrew|talk]]) 19:17, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
-::[[User:Polly Tunnel|Polly Tunnel]]Yes, I though it possible the massage therapist licensing might be used against massage parlours.
-::Thanks [[User:Plantdrew|Plantdrew]]. Yes, I've seen people trying to make this about legit massage and removing material about massage parlours. Personally I think it could be a bit stronger on saying they're brothells.

-== Description: Business offering the services of trained masseuses/masseurs ==
+== Genting Highlands ==
-I consider this misleading. Some parlours may pretend to do massages. I believe there's no pretence of parlours having trained masseuses/masseurs.
-I doubt there's any more trained masseurs working in the massage parlour industry than there is brick layers, pharymasists,  or nurses.
