The massage scene is dominated by agencies, while the escort scene in Ottawa is more independent based. As a consequence, you are paying 40-45% of your fee to CMJ or AT or whoever. Plus you are attending a facility that is far from discreet whether or not there is a sign over the door. You are liable to run into other clients, law enforcement knows the locations, and so do lots of unsavoury characters. And in many cases, the girls are even doing their own booking and some of their own advertising. They can do well financially, provided they enjoy assembly line work. I will take an escort or a top-notch independent MA any day. It’s not just the discretion issue, I want to give my money to the girl.
