Sorry to inform everyone that Utopia and Shangri-La will close tomorrow, until all this is over. I was at Utopia this morning for a great massage with Kevin.

It's fine to discuss Mike or Philip at TSMS here, but I hope that you complained to management. In this instance, asking more $ for getting naked might not be what management ought to hear about, but keeping the room too cold, and shorting you on time is something they should know about.

I have been seeing Arjun for more than five years. He is one of the nicest AND HOTTEST people out there. Strongly recommended!!

I looked up the translation from the Portuguese for the title on that video: "The masseur can't resist the dick of the client." That's what Wikipedia said, word for word!

I always like my masseurs to be ecumenical!

Definitely cute, and he gives 50% off the first massage. Seems to know what he's about. Doesn't fool around with "therapeutic" or "sensual" on his ad, but cuts right to the chase! Astoria is not that far, folks!!

I'll just add that masseurs in spas get 30% of what we pay. Our tips are important to them. On a $60 massage, I tip $40 if it was OK. If it was very good, I tip $60 .. And I don't consider myself all THAT generous.

"Private" masseurs are something else. Many don't tip, including me. Their stated price is it, and it's high enough. If some 21 year-old kid is just starting out, and charges $100, I'll usually give him $20 extra the first time.

It may be wise in coming weeks to stay out of crowds, such as movie theaters. It may also be wise to avoid intimate contact with people whose previous contacts are unknown to you. Right now, no; but perhaps soon?

"If you just wanna talk?" I want to do more than that, and I hope that someone has tried him.

Anyone?

Anyone have any experience with him?

This last one,, "musculo bambam," was a bit disturbing, "Worked over?" This was close to sexual assault! I can't imagine that the think guy enjoyed a bit of it; in fact, he seemed to be in acute distress.

Nothing sexy or sensual about this one, sorry to say.

Yes, you pays yer money...…" However, it is more than "a bit" of a lottery; I usually refer to it as a crap shoot. There are so many well-reviewed guys out there, and this message forum is SUCH a good source of information that it really foolish to take a chance on a $150 massage. I suppose it depends on how you react to disappointment, and how much you want to spend your money wisely -- or how much money you have for this.

All you have to do is to read these threads, and you will see how many scam artists and bullshitters there are out there, just waiting to take your money.

Caveat emptor!!!

I had started a thread on Pizh several months ago, also asking 411. I think there were very few replies, one being that he had texted Pizh, who replied, but then stopped communicating, and it went nowhere. I'm sure you can find it

I liked that very long story about a recent experience in a NY spa. I expected the last line to be, "And then I woke up from the best wet dream I've had in a long time."

I think that Typical may be on to something. We often identify reviews on massage sites as fake when they are written in the same broken English as the masseur's ad. I would not be surprised if someone at another spa wrote this to disparage a competitor. On the other hand, this may be a legitimate report, and it may be poorly written if the alleged client is genuine, but not familiar with English.

Terry Teachout in the Wall Street Journal called it "Worst Side Story." Obviously, this is for millennials, with the video screen and all the souped up technology. I loved Van Howe's A View From the Bridge, and I liked his Crucible, but I know I won't like this one and intend to stay away.

I always enjoy Edjames' comments, but I can't see how Mack and Mabel could have a happy ending. She DID use drugs, and her career tanked by 1922. She DID die in 1930. His career was done in by sound, and his refusal to bend with the times. You can't change that. I saw the Encores production, and liked it. I thought Douglas Sills was excellent, but I admit that I was visualizing Robert Preston throughout!

I never saw the original, and I'm sorry that I didn't.

Happy ending? How would you do that?

6'4", 220, ripped -- and expensive! One would certainly be interested and tempted, but for that money, I'd want someone to take the plunge first -- like a food taster for those Roman emperors.

No, but if I were in New Mexico -- anywhere in the state! -- I'd make a beeline for Albuquerque!

"Caring, fun, and deviant." Well, THAT sounds interesting! Especially the last part!

Saying, "come in, " and waiting for you in a G-string sounds sexy as hell. Too bad it was this nut case!

The last time I was at Utopia was mid-December, and I saw Victor. I hope he's still there; he's been there for a long time. Alex may be there; think he used to shuttle between Utopia and Shangrila. I used to like Jerry (slim Chinese masseur with a sparkling personality), but I think he's working at another spa now.

I don't know any of the other masseurs; I'd like to hear about them, too.

I've seen their ads for years, but not recently. Their web site seems to imply that there are only 2 or 3 guys there, doing 4 handed massages. Does anyone know anything about them?

BuddyWorker, that's probably the most descriptive review of a session that I've read here. Very useful for any of us contemplating a session with him. Thank you!
