Hybrid providers

Hahahahahaha... only in Ottawa!

Yup
Only in Ottawa we got to have it 'talked' about.

Anywhere else it's a wink wink situation.

The more we openly talk about it, the more noise this gets. The higher the chance it gets shut down.

There are unwritten rules/etiquettes of the game.

You don't talk about fight club.

Thank you everyone for the info. I never seeked MAs or went to a Spa when I was in Toronto. The first time I saw the term Hybrid was on terb in the Ottawa section and then saw it a couple of times on Leolist. Wasn't an MA guy until I moved to Ottawa. The lack of escort agencies and escort reviews in Ottawa also kinda directed me towards MAs. Met some amazing MAs though but never requested SP services at Spas as not to offend anyone. One time had an MPA pressure me for SP services which I kindly declined because the rate was way too high to me.
Still wish there were more escort agencies in town because the MPA lines are too blurry for my liking and the lack of transparency and secrecy in this biz does not help
Gawd I miss Toronto lol. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone !!!

I think Ottawa was just too traditionally regimented into two different camps for too long. Massage had an air of semi-legitimacy and was less likely to be busted (though that happened quite often in Ottawa too). So people gravitated towards those services. With current laws, everything is legal (to sell, but not to buy!). But the old distinctions still persist. I think in a few years, no one is going to even make a distinction between massage or escort, thus the hybrid term will also disappear.

Places like CMJ and Brass survive because of the distinction between massage and escort. Rub and tugs are one thing, but their "private club" distinction wouldn't make any difference if they were effectively brothels. Their downtown locations are walking distance from City Hall and Parliament hill, and it's not like people don't know about them. They fly under the radar only because they don't offer full service.
