Well, it doesn't look like a standard is forthcoming any time soon. It was an idea though and I know there are key words we could use. Like I said, it's still a guessing game for the guys though.
I'll keep looking for an answer to the problem though and I'm open to any ideas even if you don't think they'll go anywhere. Poke it with a stick and see if it moves. Thank you for all your responses 
Keep it coming!

In their conversations, they expressed their frustrations about not being able to discern who offers a real massage. Let's also assume that other ladies who are LMT/RMT hear as high a number of concerns as you did. In general, it could be said that it was close to a consensus that guys wanted to know where to get a real massage when the mood was right.
Armed with all that knowledge, you set up a committee whose only goal is to established new terms to be used to differentiate between body rubs and "real massages". So the illustrious committee comes up with five new terms for each section, so that Body rub girls can use five key words to advertise that are unique to them. The "real massage" girls also have five unique words that they can use. This committee has in essence turned into a regulatory board
So the new regulations board, issues their new guidelines and mandates that all body rubs / real massage girls start using them.
The problem:
How do you enforce it? In government, when they regulate anything, they create the bureaucracy to enforce their laws, so that they can dictate to us how to live. The government obviously regulates LMTs/RMTs and yet we have a significant number of them deviating from the guidelines, risking losing their licenses and providing extras not only here but also BP and CL. So how effective is the bureaucracy at regulating activities? These guys earn full salaries to do one thing, enforce the regulations.
Compare the above scenario to ECCIE, a hobby board. If they were to create 10 new terms to be used at 5 terms a piece, how would you prevent one girl from using a term that belonged to the other group? Would members create threads/alerts announcing the transgression? How could the member doing the report provide the proof that the provider using the term was in direct violation of the new regulations? Would he have to research into her personal life to verify that she was not licensed, and therefore violate her privacy in real life? How would the staff arbitrate cases where there were accusations but not enough evidence was provided? Would the Staff, doing volunteer work, want to undertake this new task?
At the end of the day, people can come up with as few as a dozen new terms to as many as several thousand new phrases, if they can't enforce it, they are back to square one.
Again, the original intent is a good one, but given the nature of this board, it is an impractical thing to attempt to do. Guys who like "real massages" will have to find them the old fashioned way, doing research.
