My experience has been they provide, but just bring your own to be safe. Pretty simple.

ive never found a place where they didnt provide some. i still sometimes bring since they always use those shitty dollar store ones.

I agree with moebius on this one the do carry cheep one, but i also read that if L.E. does happen to be watching the place and they talk to you and you do have a condom it can be intent. but i dont really go to a mp for full just because i would rather not be on a massage table to me a bed is better.

Having a condom on your person is viewed as intent? Well, I guess so - I know I sure carried one around with me on every date I ever had in high school and boy, was I ever intent. Unfortunately, that view was not shared by my dates as often as I would have preferred.

If a cheap condom doesn't break, is it still cheap?

no then its a fine purchase decision

LOL - Really have no way of knowing, but I suspect some Prius owners made a similar comment.

Of the MP's I've seen, they have always provided the protection. I think that a lot of providers don't trust that their client will use a quality condom all the time.

There's a difference between MP's and full service providers. AMPs generally provide condoms if they are full service but there are some instances where the AMP provider will perform "extras" without the mamasan knowing about it to only some clients. In that case, it makes sense to keep a jimmy in your back pocket because you never know. Its a good rule of thumb in general, you never know when sex will present itself.

As for full service providers, the topic has been discussed endlessly here and the conclusion is that you should not bring your own condoms unless they are in a sealed box.

My understanding is that most mamasan(s) frown upon girls offering that without their knowledge or permission,
also some ladies may be subjected to purse searches.
At least the last one I worked at did that to us,
if condoms were found on us - out we go

so it's probably a wise idea to bring your own.

now why would anyone put up with that kind of crap, if i went to work and someone wanted to search my person id be out job hunting pretty quick.

given how desperate those shops are for workers i cant see anyone putting up with personal searches as a job requirement.

I guess in an ideal world. Sometimes you need the job and have to put up with the crap to find another one I guess.

It's what they do.
really you don't have a choice,
if you have to work at AMP'S bc you can't manage by yourself you have to follow the rules.
Legit companies do this too & it's legal.
When I was teen I worked two jobs
for fingerhut & factory card outlet, these were legitimate corporations & daily"purse/pat down searches" b4 starting work and after work were allowable by law &
they also locked employees in a cage at fingerhut LOL this was called "loss prevention" .
it sucked ass ! glad they went out of business !!

I'd be okay being locked in the cage if you were there, but then is that really a punishment. I'll have to rethink this.

FYI I'm on about 2 hours sleep in the last 48 hours so if Im not making sense chalk it up to that.

Wow I must be sleep deprived allot based on how often I don['t make sense.

from my experience its best not to bring them unless they are a regular client.
LE does checks at massage places, while therapist leaves the room for them to get undressed they always look under towels Kleenex boxes etc..
if they see a condom its 1 more proof of evidence to try to bust.
even out calls its not recommended to bring them.
if a client ask me for one i have never seen before it throws a red flag and i back away simply say i only massage u can do what u wish when i leave the room.
once screened its a different story...
