Tampa Massage Parlors: Spa Busted For Alleged Prostitution

Friday, June 4th, 2010

PERRY TWP., Pa. — Three women were taken into custody on prostitution charges during a raid on a local massage parlor, according to authorities.
The Berks County District Attorney’s Drug Task Force said it began its investigation into the Peace of Mind Spa on Route 61 in Perry Township, just north of Shoemakersville, after receiving complaints about possible prostitution taking place inside.
During their investigation, detectives said they went undercover and met with Xiangdan Li, Sungnam Yang, and In Suk Saunders two separate times. The detectives said the women offered to provide them sexual services in exchange for money.

Detectives said they also searched the massage parlor and seized surveillance cameras, cash, condoms, numerous documents, and various items associated with prostitution.

This is the sixth raid for alleged prostitution at a massage parlor in Berks County since the start of the year.

Tampa Massage Parlors: Fla. Editorials Gang Up on Attorney General’s Support of ‘Rentboy Rekers’

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

The editorial drew an unflattering comparison between McCollum and Rekers, noting that, “Attorney General Bill McCollum and George Rekers have this in common: They were both happy to hire sleazy services, and they knew what they were getting for the money. Now both are having trouble explaining themselves.”
Rekers had told the press that he had hired 20-year-old Jo-vanni Roman to act as a luggage porter because Rekers was unable to hoist his own luggage following surgery. Rekers also claimed that the European trip was well underway before he learned that his travel companion was a male escort–despite having hired Roman through RentBoy.com, an online clearinghouse for escort services.
Rekers, who co-founded anti-gay group Family Research Council and was until recently a board member of “ex-gay” group NARTH, threatened to sue over media suggestions that he is closeted. But Roman told the press that he was not lifting luggage for Rekers; rather, the young escort said, his daily duties included giving Rekers erotic massage.

ADDICTS CALL IT a God-sized hole, a hollowness in the soul. It leaks no matter how much they try to fill it — and at what cost. For years, George filled his emptiness with pornography, erotic massage and, eventually, sex for hire. There was no tenderness. Even pleasure was rare because every time George engaged in his obsessive sexual behaviors, he felt dirty and even emptier than before.

Sex addiction may have found a new poster boy in former Cleveland Cavaliers player Winston Bennett. The 45-year-old Bennet, who was the Cavaliers’ third-round pick in the 1988 draft, revealed in an interview with ESPN that he slept with about 90 different women every month due to a severe sex addiction.
The former Kentucky Wildcats star said he “very seldom” used protection while getting it on with three to four women a day. He said that it did not matter where he made out–Malls, restaurants, prostitution dens, massage parlors–anywhere. He spent a big chunk of his time satisfying his sexual appetite. “I spent a great deal of time either having sex, cruising for sex, calling for sex, looking for sex.”

Tampa Massage Parlors: Winston Bennett, Sex Addict: I Slept With 90 Women A Month (VIDEO)

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Winston Bennett played in the NBA during the late 1980s and early 90s, and while he may have been known for his on-court ability, he harbored an off-court passion that nearly consumed him.
In an interview with ESPN’s “Outside the Lines,” Bennett details his sex addiction, explaining that he slept with 90 women per month before he got married — and approximately half that total after his wedding.
He says he would meet the women seemingly anywhere: “Malls, restaurants — let’s not forget — prostitutes, massage parlors.” His obsession with sex occupied huge swaths of time. “I spent a great deal of time either having sex, cruising for sex, calling for sex, looking for sex,” Bennett told ESPN. He “very seldom” used protection.
Bennett’s basketball career afforded him an “unbelievable” dating life. “One was never enough,” he said. “Three or four in a day was very typical for me.” Just one day after getting married, Bennett says he slept with another woman, and he later gave his wife two sexually transmitted diseases.

Tampa Massage Parlors: How To Really Score During The Super Bowl

Friday, February 5th, 2010

The Panties Pool You’ve seen those office pools they do for football games, right? It’s a grid of boxes, with 0-9 going down and 0-9 going across. Then people write their names inside the boxes and then one set of numbers is for one team, and one is for the other. So, say, at the end of the first quarter, the score is 10 – 7, the Saints, then you would go to that square, and that person would win. You can do the same. But instead of putting in names in the squares, you put SEX ACTS. So, whoever wins, REALLY wins. And it’s up to you to be as nice or as naughty as you want.
You can have the prizes be anything your little heart desires. From kissing to an erotic massage, he owes you oral sex. From you wearing THAT school girl outfit, to him doing THAT dance he does naked. (Um, whatever you two do…)

Tampa Massage Parlors: Youngest legislator making her mark

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Burgin, who got her state House seat through an appointment process that caused controversy last year, hit a few bumps, including one bill regulating massage parlor advertising that drew some mockery.
But her experience as an aide to Traviesa helped her work the system better than some expected.
“That gave her a lot of fundamentals on how the process works – little things like handling appointments, getting up in front of a committee, how you work other legislators behind the scenes,” said Bill Bunkley, a lobbyist and Tampa activist in Christian-right causes.
When Burgin got the District 56 seat – representing Brandon, Riverview and parts of South Tampa – some critics said she was too young and inexperienced for the post.

Second, she filed a measure late in the session to forbid suggestive language sometimes used in massage parlor advertising to offer sexual services.
