There’s Ciao Studio. It’s not right in downtown Flushing, but it’s not far. Their Instagram page’s most recent post shows which providers are working on which days. That page is somewhat inconsistently updated. I recommend you take a look at the Long Island thread on this site for multiple posts on the various providers who work/have worked there. I’ve been there twice. It was a positive experience both times. (Or maybe it was three times?) But I haven’t been there in well over a year so I can’t fairly comment on how it is now.

Searched here but no results - at least under this name. RentMasseur profile is only a few months old but says he has ten years experience. No reviews. Have any of you met him? I’d love to know more. TIA. https://rentmasseur.com/GoodVibesGuy

Here’s the page. Normally - when they do post it - the schedule is labeled with the dates for the particular week. But not this time. Massage lover (@m2mmassagespa) • Instagram photo WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM 4 likes, 0 comments - m2mmassagespa on March 22, 2025

Anyone have experience with Wayne (who appears near the bottom of the recently posted schedule)? Would like to know how the massage is with him. Feel free to DM. Thanks!

When I was a young and somewhat innocent gayling, there was an interesting and often unpredictable street scene on a street I’m reasonably sure no longer even exists. I haven’t lived in DC in pretty close to half a century (Yikes. I’m fucking old.) but the street I’m talking about is (was!) Half Street SE. It was home to one of my favorite dance clubs at the time, The Other Side. If I’m not mistaken, The Follies was across the street. (Some of you sharper men might confirm that or correct me as the case may be.) But to the point of another poster on this thread, I don’t believe it’s solely due to my age that I miss the socializing that use to happen on the streets of so many cities. The apps will never replace that. Well, not successfully, at any rate.

Does this email also work for the Flushing location (Ciao Studio)? Does anyone know if the Flushing location is even still operating? (And if Chris still works there?) Thanks!

I actually like his profile pics. But I’m weirded out by what he’s written in the About Me section: ”I am mid forties I have a very good rate and am available for travel in NYC , I have a dad bod athletic build work out and I am open to a regular thing I need the call before Dec 17 Thanks” What does he mean by “I need the call…”? And he says “a very good rate,” but under Rates it says (of course) Ask. Luckily, Dec 17 has come and gone. 😅

I’d be willing to secede if it meant Eric Adams were no longer my mayor!

Another take on this question… Apart from whether or not hiring day labors for sex is exploitation and apart from whether or not they’d be willing, the reality of approaching one of the day laborers near me for sex is less than appealing. There’s a huge gap between a porn flick that succeeds in portraying a hot session between a day laborer and his admirer AND the reality of the day laborer’s environment. I live two blocks from a Home Depot. For years, there’d been a small group (15-20?) of hopeful workers hanging out by the store’s parking lot entrance. All in all, a pretty low-key affair that was well known to all in the neighborhood without creating much antipathy. Starting roughly a year and a half ago, the scene there exploded. And not in a good way. Now on any given day you might see a hundred men scattered up and down both sides of the block as well as all along one nearby street. The entire area now how the look of a skid row. Trash strewn about, plenty of empty liquor bottles, and men sometimes sleeping sprawled across the sidewalk. There’s nothing sexy about it.

Brooklyn is in NYC.

This reminds me of the time I lived in Russia. The first time I ordered a glass of wine at a cafe, I was asked, “How many milliliters?” I responded, “Just one glass.” My answer was insufficient. I quickly got in the habit of requesting “Сто восемьдесят миллилитров.”

Jamie, I love reading your posts. I’ve learned a lot from you. In this particular thread, I’m not sure those of us in the U.S. can reasonably take your advice (to be specific in pre-appointment conversations about which activities are of interest to us) without placing providers and possibly ourselves at legal risk. I understand that the risk is likely negligible; that isn’t, however, equivalent to zero risk. To be fair, I’m someone with minimal hiring experience (Champagne taste on a generic beer budget!) so I’d love to hear from others in the U.S. - both providers and clients - on how they manage this aspect of the hiring process. TIA

Has anyone had experience Wayne, Kurt, David or Steven at Ciao Studio’s Flushing location? (Or maybe you’ve seen them at one of the LI locations.) If you prefer to DM with details, that’s great. I’ve seen Chris a couple of times - and liked him very much - but he no longer appears on the schedule for Flushing. I’m willing to try one of the other guys but not without some reassurance of what I might expect. Thanks very much!

This was (kinda sorta) one of the story lines in Ryan O’Connell’s novel Just By Looking At Him. If his name is not ringing a bell, you might remember him from the Netflix series Special (gay guy with cerebral palsy writes jokes for a sitcom). Didn’t like the book that much but it’s fine for a beach read. The escort plays a pretty big part in the story.

Jamesp, Chris at Ciao Studio in Flushing gives a nice massage. He’s definitely had some training. It’s probably a twenty-minute ride from LGA (by car; quite a bit longer on public transit). I’m not sure why, but a Google search for Ciao Studio turns up nothing. But here is a link to their Instagram page. The most recent post is an updated schedule of which provider works at which location on which days. (The other locations operate under a different name.) The phone number and address appear at the bottom of the Instagram page. No walk-ins. Call first. Best to call the same day, when they open (10:00 AM). They don’t seem to want advance booking (at least in my experience).

I’m confused by his pricing. And notice something similar with other providers. In his case, two 45-minute massages would only cost $200. But one 90-minute massage costs $240. To look at it another way, his 45-minute massage costs about $2.20 per minute. But for 60 minutes he’s charging over $2.60 a minute. Does he want to discourage longer appointments? Any insight into why some providers do this?

I’ve just checked his profile. His rate jumped to $500 just since Monday??

andreso on RentMasseur RENTMASSEUR.COM View my profile on RentMasseur.com I searched here but it turned up nothing. Looks to be a new profile on RentMasseur. No reviews. Maybe someone recognizes him from an earlier profile under a different name? TIA (This is the first thread I’ve started here so apologies for any errors in posting. I put it here since he lists “Therapeutic.” Hoping that link works. 🤞)

Maybe it was a problem with my phone? (Or me?) But thanks so much, mmrr005 for posting that.

Hi, all. Longtime reader here, first time posting. I’m assuming the Chris that some of you have mentioned is the same Chris who works (worked?) at the Flushing location (aka Ciao Studio). I saw him once. Excellent experience. I left pleased. Actually, that’s why I’m posting now. The link to Ciao Studio’s schedule (m2mmassagespa on Instagram) no longer works. That was the page showing who’s working in Flushing or at one of the two LI locations on which days. I was thinking of going back to see Chris this week, or trying someone else. But concerned the missing schedule means they’ve closed up shop (or worse, been closed down). Anyone with intel on this? I was only there once, but the Flushing location - though a bit out of the way - had such a nice vibe. Clean, quiet, private. And as far as I could tell, only accommodated one client at a time. Thanks in advance if you can share what you know.
