- If this isn’t an ad for nuru massage, I don’t know what would be. It worked on me, because now I totally want to try this. “Popularized in Japan’s ” soaplands,” nuru was once the perfect way to foil restrictions on the selling of penetrative sex. That said, technically speaking, nuru is illegal in the US—as is all massage that includes sexual stimulation—which effectively makes nuru at Sheri’s the only legal nuru experience anywhere in America.”

The food was pretty decent at these places – one was diner-styled, and one was truck-stop-styled. And as advertised, the waitresses all wore bikini swimsuits. They were a nice warm oasis in the cold winter months – as the temperatures in the restaurant were kept rather warm, for the comfort of the waitresses, I expect.
