That would depend on the establishment. If you're in a reputable place where the licenses of the establishment and the certification of the employees are open for view, you will obtain relief from your chronic pain and get your immune system boosted by the application of Swedish massage techniques. But, if you are in a place that is questionable, you will likely get a substandard massage and if you are a male, possibly have suggestive touching performed in hopes that you ask for 'special favors' and pay more money. This is becoming less prevalent, though this type of 'massage' establishment still exists in the form of parlors.

The term 'parlor' is usually associated with an establishment that has minimally trained, and sometimes, unlicensed masseurs/masseuses. In some cultures, a massage parlor is a massage business designed to be more aesthetically appealing than the typical "clinic" style common in the US, even when the services delivered are therapeutic. The terms masseur and masseuse usually refer to people performing massage with little or no training and perhaps only have a short period of apprenticeship, which is legal in some states provided a licensed therapist is involved.

Sexual favors are definitely not a part of a session with an educated, certified, licensed, and ethical massage therapist, unless that therapist has decided to earn extra cash by doing prostitution.

To answer the question very directly: What you may get at a massage parlor if you pay a little extra money and you are a male is a hand-job. This is true for females as well, if they hint about their desires and offer a cash tip.
