About Altajoy Massage

Quinn wanted to be a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) and went back to school in their early twenties. After completing the program, multiple shops recruited Quinn to work at their businesses. After interviewing with several, Quinn chose the one that had a moderate salary but a robust vacation package so they could travel. 

On their first day, the shop seemed great, but then clients started to arrive and Quinn was solicited for sexual services by three clients in a row. With a face red with anger and shame, Quinn approached their boss who declared that providing sexual services was an important part of the job and Quinn was not to refuse the customers. If Quinn did so and didn't complain to Occupational Health and Safety, the boss said they would pay them extra. 

Feeling shocked and unsure where to turn, Quinn remained at Altajoy Massage and slowly grew distant from their friend group as they felt burdened by shame.
