Hi, I saw that, but I'm not convinced it's the right approach as what I'm referring require a specific massage parlor license to operate as opposed to a regular traditional massage establishment which is more suited for shop=massage. I think it would be akin to saying a convenience store and supermarket can all be tagged the same way. Also, I'm not comfortable with using sexual as it could be libelous to state that something illegal is taking place in these establishments (for example, you won't do shop=convenience+marijuana=yes in most parts of the world).
How about something like a combination of: amenity=massage_parlour male=yes female=no min_age=21 This should be quite accurate.
