Malaysian "spas" are substituting massage oil in favour of cream cheese for a kinky new erotic massage, it has been revealed.
According to the Malay-language Harian Metro, some spas near the capital Kuala Lumpur were offering customers the option of being smeared with cream cheese, News.com.au reported.
The cheese is then licked from the customer's body by their scantily-clad "masseuse'', usually a likely sex worker from China, Indonesia or Vietnam, the paper said.
Prostitution is illegal in predominantly Muslim Malaysia, where conservative attitudes toward sex prevail.
But the country's media regularly portray a thriving sex industry involving prostitutes from China, Vietnam, Thailand and other less-developed countries in the region, and often disguised as massage operations.
