I wanna go to whomever you’re leaving that 100% tip for!!

Any intel on best times to go?? What’s the crowd like??

Got to go on my last trip to LA. Was a great experience. And yes - right next door to the very popular restaurant, Jitlada. Highly recommend and will be going back when I’m next in town.

Thanks for the intel @EVdude!!

Curious if anyone has had any experience with Logen or August? Also, does Ben take customers?

Amazing. Have to add to my list for the next time I'm in LA.

Hey everyone - Wanted to get thoughts on what constitutes a good tip here in NYC. Recently went and had a fantastic massage from someone I found to be very attractive. There were def extras - beyond the mundane but just short of everything. The massage itself was $70 for the hour. I tipped $60 on top. Is that a good tip for that kind of attention? Never know these days but def wanna go back and do the right thing!

Which Reddit page - looking for a place more focused on spas vs. the freelancers. Thanks.

Thanks for the rec. will have to give Yeah Man another try.

Anyone got any recs for 24 in Chelsea? Looking for younger, skilled at massage. Thx!

Check out Phil at Batman spa on 14th. Decent massage (not the best) and a fun experience.

Went back to Batman recently and tried out Phil. He’s a bit older but in good shape. Gave an ok massage - was a bit repetitive and wasn’t the strongest. Fun tho. The owner has started texting out the schedule when everyone is working and that’s much appreciated. Makes it easier to plan based on who’s there.

Just looked up Escape. It’s kind of expensive tbh - vs other places in the area. In fairness looks a lot nicer tho

???

Good info. Thanks! How's Escape? Any masseur recs?

Had a fun experience at a spa in downtown NYC. This was prob 4 years ago. Masseur was prob mid 20s and a very good looking guy from China. Had been to see him a few times and had chatted w him a bunch so kind of knew him and felt very comfortable with him. Started withhis normal great massage experience - he was skilled and I was very relaxed. Was on my stomach and he was working on my shoulders and upper back - a mix of standing at my head and straddling my head to get to my lower back and butt - and out of the blue I started to feel something warm and slightly wet on my head and neck. I raised my head to investigate and saw that the masseur had removed his clothes and had a semi. We made eye contact and he could see my surprise (and delight). He had a very nice body and his piece was very meaty, uncut and perfect. Lots of pre dripping and I couldn't resist having it all over my face and body as he continued to massage me. Loved having it leak all over me as were both very clearly turned on. We both finished. Was one of the most sensual experiences I've ever had (and I've had a few). Was so sexy feeling the warmth of his body and meat all over my face and body. Loved his smell - was a mix of a man who was working hard and sweating and peppermint soap. Was a total intimate connection with another man who was beautiful and sexy but pretty much a stranger. We exchanged numbers afterward and went to dinner a few times. Sadly he moved away from NYC and haven't seen him in a few years.

To get things started wanted to share a few reviews of places I've been in the last month or so: Tried the new Batman Spa on 14th. Convenient location and expensive. Either owned by the crew at Why Not or someone there took the mobile contacts from there cause I got a $15 off coupon via text, which I used to upgrade to a 90 min. Ended up costing $80+- and I gave a good tip. Had Mike. Younger guy. Prob mid 20s. Great massage - I'm picky so was actually surprised how skilled it was. Coverered back, shoulders, legs and head. No feet which was a bummer but no big deal. Fun experience. Real massage and VERY relaxing. Hit up Why Not at their semi-new location on Bleeker. Used to go there when they were on w4th right off 7th (basement). Had Tony. Middle aged guy. Prob early 40s / late 30s. Decent massage but phoned it in. Prob wouldn't go back. 60 mins was $65+- and I tipped (as always butgave a modest $15 cause wasn't fantastic). Anyone been to any others downtown?

Def not new to spas in NYC but new to this site. Used to follow a great twitter feed with all the intel but that's long since gone.

Wanted to get a chat started for the NYC boys to weigh in on their favorite massage spots in NYC. So many of my fav spots have shut their doors in the last few years and there's been a lot of turnover with the masseurs. Let's chat about recent experiences and recommended masseurs!
