There's a difference between selling your labor and selling yourself.
It's a business that fundamentally thrives on exploiting the weak. Similar industries that ride the edge like porn and strip joints aren't exactly empowering of women, and attract a seedy element from a business owner (and patron) point of view.

This seems to be punting on the question. Why is being paid to massage somebody's shoulders "selling your labor" while being paid to massage their genitals is "selling yourself"?
