The stories I'm talking about are in the news sites or Khmers forums, and I'm not repeating any stories, I'm just saying that this happens a lot more than in BKK for example.
After one minute of googling I already found two:

I've not been scammed myself because I'm aware of the situation and I'm not one that like to play with fire when I'm abroad.
Have a good read.

What part of Phnom Penh are you talking about? The middle of the entertainment area or some other more sophisticated parts? Where are the "loads of news stories?
If you have been scammed personally, let's have some details as that is what this board is for rather than some broad generalizations that don't mean anything.

I've never wanted to try one in PP because the places never look very inviting and more importantly there are loads of news about customers being scammed or robbed while they were being serviced.
Even if I took my precautions as to not being scammed, I don't see the point of giving my hard earned money to people that like to scam others. Cambodia is full of nice people that try to make a honest living and deserves a lot more my money than these scammers.
At the very least, if anyone still decide to go there, you shouldn't hold any valuables if you enter one of these places and try to have only the required amount for the service.

They can be found on virtually EVERY street in PNH. However, I personally am unable to answer you question as to whether they are good, healthy and non-sexual.
A good starting point to seek out a good massage might be to go to the area called Boeung Keng Kang (coincidentally it's known as BKK and not to be confused with the Thai city) . It's an upmarket part of PNH and it probably has more parlours that are essentially non-sexual in nature. Start on St 51 (pasteur) and wander the block bordered by St 278,57 and 282. Many stylish looking spas there that I have seen and I am sure will provide exactly what you want.
I have only ever sampled the in-room massages in a couple of hotels. Nothing special.

I am thinking of PP for my next trip and what I love in Asia is good healthy non sexual massage and reflexology.
Of course this is everywhere in BKK but BKK is becoming rather pricey.
Can this massage be found here?
Thanks.
PP headed for PP.

I have actually made great use and followed up all of your tips and strategies regarding Sts 136 - 130 as well as restaurants and they have all been useful.
Most bars seemed sparsely populated. I stayed at Hotel Cambodiana down near Nagaworld and for 3 days I was the only person at breakfast and in the 17 days I stayed there I never shared my elevator with anyone. The maitre D' said they have very few customers ever since coronavirus flared.
Sad note. Many of the old traditional buildings that give PNH its character are being bought left, right and center by the Chinese developers and knocked down in favour of 30-40-storey glass monstrosities. My go-to place for lunch on St 51 called Herb Cafe will be closing in late March and a new building will rise on the whole block back to Sihanouk corner.

Posts: 136Enjoying the in bar blow and go service
First week of 2 in Phnom Penh, quick report, been doing standard bar trawling, things are as per the norm, hit / miss / fun / dud! A little WeChat surfing has yielded rewards as well.
To summarise, my preferred play time due to circumstances is late afternoon to early evening when wife and friends / family duties have to kick in, as such I have found the offering of the blow and go services at both Mr Butterfly and Pussycat Bar on 136 to be perfect. Obviously bar fines are available for these same girls however a lady drink here or there, a nod and a wink and a move to the rear booth in the bar has ended in a nice BJ for 20 bucks in both bars, 2 x Mr Butterfly, one times Pussycat. Can't complain for the price given that's half a round of beers back at home with mates!!
Also hooked up with a lovely Khmer girl from WeChat, claims to be a good office girl and not a working girl but more than happy to slip away in the middle of the day for a quick guest house session at a very modest fee. Her good English skills have me thinking that her story of not exclusively being a good office working girl and she does this rarely on the side might be a stretch, but, she is rather lovely, early 20's, superb tight little Khmer figure, who am I to question or complain!!
All in all a fun first week, another week ahead, should anything special occur I will be sure to report.
Stay safe gents and enjoy the punt.
DingoD.

I spent a short time in "Xanadu bar" (good line -up) and had some fun in "Why Not" bar too with some very friendly hostesses. I had a lot of work commitments so my time was restricted but next visit in late-March I will have more time.
The area know as BKK around the National Monument (where I stayed) has a wide array of specialty restaurants, many on or near St 51 (Pasteur).
Terrazzo was especially memorable (st 282 off St 51) for authentic Italian. Another great Italian is Il Forno on St 302 (betw St 51 and Norodom). Neither are cheap but good value compared to Philippines prices.
There's a new Aussie-run steak house called Pacow opened up on St 294 (see attached). Angus beef direct from Roma, Queensland. Very friendly Aussie owner Kim. Very hands-on and training his staff very effectively. Great wines too.
More updates to follow.
