possum

Well Kareem certainly did an excellent job of scaring me away...

Monday nights. Russian Banya, I think it was called. Was always great fun.

I texted him in July and got a message back that the number was "no longer in service." I suspect someone else has his number now or he doesn't want to be contacted.

Definitely not him. Happy to share a very recent experience if you PM me.

What a deliciously offensive line. May I please use it?

I would suggest Spellcheck.

Is that the correct way to spell f&$+@#? My spellcheck says no...

Bump

Mike was one of the first masseurs I saw when I moved to NY and I actually enjoyed my sessions with him (I saw him several times). His massage skills were (as I remember) fairly good and he was fairly interactive. He was also a pretty nice guy. He was in his mid-20s I'd say, and this was in (wait for it) the early 90s. The last time I saw him was at least 25 years ago, so he's definitely well over 50 by now. I'd be surprised if he's forgotten how to massage, but if you're looking for a masseur in his mid 30s (37 in his ad!) you're at least 15 years too late. I have to say I felt bad for him when I read the review and his painful response, but I've been seeing his ads with the old photos for several years now and wondered what kinds of reactions he must be getting. It's probably time for him to update his approach.

NYC too

Much appreciated. Thanks!

The plot thickens...

He said he was in Premier 57 which I don't think is the same place...

I just went to K-Town Sauna. No one was at the front desk when I arrived, but in about a minute a man and woman came out and the man told me "I'm sorry we can't take any customers today. We're testing everything." There were no signs at the front desk indicating that they were closed, and the person downstairs in the building's lobby didn't mention anything when he directed me to the 4th floor. Has this happened to anyone else? Have I just been profiled? I wasn't wearing rainbow flags or anything but I'm a 50ish white male visiting for the first time. Just wondering...

Met Alex; pics are definitely him. Great experience; feel free to PM and I'll answer as soon as I can. (Not on here every day.)

Yes please oh please are those real pics of Hero? Please clarify, as I'm ready to book. Feel free to PM me if you prefer.

I'm in love

Well put, PA. Also, whatever their orientation might be isn't particularly relevant to the job they're doing. Whether or not they're making their clients happy is obviously more important than how they identify sexually in their private lives, and a certain amount of acting/role playing will definitely come in handy. Let's not forget that some clients would prefer to have a gay masseur, while others are more excited by the idea that they're being massaged by a straight man. How is the masseur supposed to know which clients prefer which role?

I knew it was too good to be true.

I just happened to notice his ad today too. I hope someone will be able to enlighten us...

Went to 27 Spa last week and not in a hurry to go back. I was confusing Sunny Boy Spa with another place on the same street--Moon Boy Spa I think it was called. They may have been affiliated. I had several great experiences at Moon Boy which is long gone; spent several Sunday afternoons with a hot Asian guy named Nick. I remember visiting Sunny Boy once and it was pretty much a dump; I have to say that's the word I would use for 27 Spa as well. There was apparently only one guy on; I know this is going to sound very unkind but he was very unattractive. And it's not just that he wasn't my type; I have several types and he definitely fit into one of the categories, but I couldn't even feign interest in the HE. His massage skills weren't terrible though. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of someone else on my way out to see what other options there might be but no such luck. The building it's in would need some improvements to be considered dilapidated; the staircase is frightening. And the interior of the "spa" seems mostly clean with the lights turned down very low, but it still seemed as shabby as I remembered it before. I'm afraid I have to agree with the other negative comments.

Anyone know what happened to Allan, the tall Asian guy with glasses at Utopia who worked on Mondays? I kept meaning to go back and see him again and now he's gone. Hope he's materialized somewhere...

Can we start charging Bigman by the emoji?

Fly waking street? WTF? Love this post and the 37 emojis though...

"Literally"?
