Who here (besides xcsboost) has ever been in a brothel?
Today I was walking down a street where foreigners don't belong in Xi'an and a pretty girl at a foot massage parlor adamantly flagged me down and begged me to come in for a foot massage. At first I thought, "foot massage? How boring." Then I realized this place looked seedy as all hell and it was probably a brothel. I, being the idiot that I am, decided that this was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. I mean, I had walked through the red light district and seen a live sex show in Amsterdam, but I didn't really stop and chat with the...um..."staff" while I was there.
I went in and sat down for my foot massage. The girls, quite excited about having a foreigner who speaks Chinese on the premise, immediately told me it was far too hot today and I should take off my jacket. I didn't want to be rude, so I promptly took it off. The interior was in shambles, the girls, thoguh they tried their hardest to look glamourous, were clearly dirt poor. Most of them were very very pretty, but there's a sort of exhaustion that grows on a person's face when they take in miles and miles of dick every year.
The girl who started giving me a foot massage clearly wasn't very good at it, and it immediately became a foot massage. So started to imply that there were other services offered there. I decided to pretend I didn't understand. This was a bad idea, because it led to some very innapropriate touching before I had a chance to grab her hand away. Those Chinese hands are lightning fast. The girl continued to explain what she had implied in vivid detail as if the grabbing hadn't made it clear. I politely declined and instead suggested that we just finish the normal foot massage and perhaps "just be friends." She laughed and said if I didn't consent she would just rape me. I pointed out that it wouldn't really be fair to charge someone money for rape, but I would be happy to oblige if there was free and she was just doing it because she wanted to.
This was a mistake. She excepted my offer and started to pull me upstairs. I never expected her to accept such a ridiculous offer, in a brothel of all places, so I was unprepared. My mind began to race. Where are my condoms? This girl is very attractive, am I actually going to do this? What if the police raid the brothel? What do I value more, sex with attractive women or not having herpes? These were all important questions that needed to be answered before I reached the top of the stairs.
At the top of the stairs I made my decision and took a stand. "I'm not going to have sex with you." Her reaction? Instant rage. She started hitting me and yelling at me. I guess this was mistake number two (depending on how you count I suppose it could be more). I started apologizing profusely and offered to pay her for a regular massage, you know, the kind where you don't touch my junk. She settled down and accepted.
We basically just hung out the rest of the hour, as she wasn't very good at massages. We had a good heart-to-heart chat and I discovered that she's a fantastic singer.
So now I ask you, TCS, what would you have done? How would you have handled the situation?

I should really read more.
