Replying to myself, but Omar at Hush is one to try

I saw Abel once a while back.  It was just OK. 

I’m spending about 7% of my gross annual income and it feels like too much. 
Lately I’ve been taking notes after I leave a spa and I’m finding that most of the time it’s not worth it.

Kind of want to cut it out altogether tbh but I have a stressful corporate job and along with edibles it’s the only thing that lets me decompress and unwind.

It’s probably AI-generated. DALL-E still has a hard time with words and text. 

I had that same experience with him and won’t go back to him.  I’m less inclined to go to Shangrila because of it.  

i had an appointment with ricardo at shangrila.  perhaps my expectations were too high given the very positive reviews, but my expectations were not met.  the massage was completely average, but the real problem is that he hit me up for a tip during the session. i don’t know if these masseurs realize how unrelaxing it is to start calculating tip amounts while receiving a massage and wondering whether the nice tip i had planned to give is sufficient.  i understand that’s the masseur’s motivation, but (like so many of us) i want to give a nice tip because i really enjoy the service, not because the masseur wants to negotiate in the middle of the massage. even if i left “happy,” i wasn’t happy. i would not go back to him. 

Fifth Avenue Men’s Spa is strictly therapeutic only massage. The images of shirtless therapists on their FB page are a bit misleading. They are also very expensive. 
To each their own, but for far less money one can get either a therapeutic massage or more sensual massage at numerous places throughout Manhattan. 
 

I did. I give it a big eye roll. Wouldn’t repeat.

The word is that Frank, the only masseur I had experience with, is no longer at Tai Chi. Anyone have names of other masseurs there that are worth a try? Hopefully Frank will resurface somewhere else.

Took one for the team and tried this place. Very bad. Masseur was an older Asian man, out of shape with very little English. Made me pay $55 upfront for 30 min.
After 10 min of bad massage, he takes off his shirt and starts trying to negotiate a tip (he asked for $60).  He was very out of shape. I said no and left. 
Bad vibes, not attractive, massage terrible + not hot, waste of time. Save your $$

Checked out East Men for the first time last week, and it was probably the most disappointing massage experience I’ve had in the past few months.
The setup is very much not ideal if you get whoever the front desk guy is, since you can hear all conversations clearly from whoever is waiting & it’s just a sliding door that barely closes. It was awkward having to listen to multiple conversations during a mediocre massage with not much sensuality until the end. Also, asked for a younger guy but got who I assume is the owner who kept leaving during the massage to answer calls / take payments / do whatever other random tasks. 
I know some guys have had good experiences there, but I wouldn’t repeat unless someone strongly recommends a specific masseur.

If they don’t want to share a face pic, then don’t post one. But posting someone else’s pic seems pretty shady to me. I don’t think it warrants calling someone “Karen” because it’s a dealbreaker to them. 

So I have been to Renew York 3 times in the past few weeks, and have had different male therapists each time... Eddie, Michael, and someone else that I can't remember.  The legit massage is great, and I went because I REALLY needed a through legit massage.  But I thought it was just me... it definitely feels like they are teasing you at one point.  I legit thought it was potentially going further... but then it doesn't.  And I also left with major BB.  Glad it wasn't my imagination!!!

I would think this “someplace else” would alleviate BBs no? 😂

Awaiting Moderator warning… or better yet removal. 

Just my thoughts, not law: I think that for as long as we are men, especially the gay kind, we are always going to like the thrill of the unknown. I also think that in a massage setting, the masseur has the upper hand and can decide to give hints, as well as how far he's willing to go.
Here in Spain where I'm vacationing, I scheduled a massage at the hotel where I'm staying, not a gay hotel, just a mainstream hotel that has a spa and offer massages and spa-related services. When I scheduled mine, I was asked "Chica or chico?" (girl or boy?) for the masseur. I said "Chico" because, why not? Not expecting anything other than a nice relaxing massage, as the facilities are for all kinds of hotel guests, I went to my appointment not expecting and not even having anything in my mind, other than a relaxing time at the pool, the sauna and the thermal baths. The massage time came in, they gave me this paper/disposable g-string to wear, so I wasn't "naked". A minute or two into the massage, the nice gentleman masseur pulled the paper/disposable g-string down. Half an hour into it, the masseur and I almost break the massage table having sex. The fact that it was unexpected did add to the excitement and thrill of the whole thing. However, I am 100% sure that none of that happened if it wasn't for the initiative that the masseur took. Personally I don't give hints if I don't get one first, so to me, it's up to him.

Yeah was just at W the other day for the first time in a while, a break from HK. I haven't had as poor experience as that in a long time... 

Energy is trash

Made the mistake of going here recently, just awful.
The guy who greeted me and brought me into the room was reasonably good looking, started the massage and it was fine. Things progressed, then he went to get a hot towel. I go to turn over and it’s a different person...totally different guy.  So shady and weird. I asked for 30 min, it was over in 20 and I left covered in oil.
 
Disgusting, would never go back.

If anyone books the apprentices would appreciate feedback about how it goes.
 
Feel a little weird going to an apt building in flushing, wish he could just get them to work at renew 😄
