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 "Manga/SPYxFamily", one of Yor's coworkers brings up that Yor is a masseuse at a hotel to Yor's fake husband Loid, clearly implying this trope. In reality, Yor really does do more than massage her clients--she assassinates them instead. 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 means taking on unpleasant jobs.

* Wei from ''VideoGame/SleepingDogs'' is heavily implied to get these whenever he visits certain massage parlors dotted across the map. With enough leveling, he even gets a "special bonus" every time he buys one. PlayedForLaughs in a later conversation, in which a character states that he wants to get a groin massage, which [[TooMuchInformation creeps Wei out]]. The person then clarifies that he means a real one, telling Wei to get his mind out of the gutter.

unnecessary editorializing and advice giving to real people looking for massages


The best way for a citizen who really needs a massage to get one without the sex getting in the way, by the way, is to look for a registered massage therapist rather than some random parlor. If you just go to some random place, it's probably going to be one of these; they're surprisingly common. If you ''do'' wander in to the wrong type accidentally, keep in mind that there is nothing wrong with just saying, "No, thank you" to whatever is on offer.

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.

* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'':
** After Matsuri wonders if [[SecondLawOfGenderBending 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 [[OneDialogueTwoConversations verbal]] and body language are so unknowingly sexual, Ritta thinks he's being seduced. Afterward, Suzu asks for the same treatment, getting a DopeSlap from Shirogane.

* In ''Manga/{{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. ComicallyMissingThePoint, 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.
