I'm a believer that this practise is common place in any large city in North America - and then there's the other continents.
Simply pick up any GS styled free weekly, look at the back pages and there will be either in large classifieds or small classifieds, ads for ... a massage and more. I've seen it in every major city outside of bible belt counties in the USA.
Don't believe the Rub and Tug originated in Vancouver.
From my wordly experiences, it is all available. Just need to know where to look. Good thing for the interenet.
Here's a challenge - find a city, and see if they 1) have a tabloib like the GS and then 2) find a review online or get someone to call to see their R & T services.
Maybe someone should move this post to the other sections though.
