Manhattan

Has anyone seen one of the summer's biggest hits? Made for less than a million it has made more than 100 million in less than a month. I thought it was fun for the first 30 minutes, then it got boring. Indie Navarret gives a very good performance and Michael Johnston is fine, but the rest of the cast is terrible.

A must watch? Says who? I avoid the kind of porn streaming services provide. I don't think we should exploit people on the spectrum, or hoarders, or morbidly obese people. Their lives and challenges do not exist for our entertainment.

Don't start rumors. Cherish Spa in Hicksville was not raided in January. You are referencing articles about an unrelated spa called Cherish in Manhattan and two women who were arrested at different spas in Hicksville.

Choose anyone you want... but you're getting WAYNE.

The first one was pretty dumb, but it did work as a kind of gay man's fantasy. No message, just an entertaining look inside a beautiful and exciting world. The sequel isn't even good enough to be dumb. No fantasy, just dropping back in on a world that doesn't merit a re-visit. They added a message, I think. Something about journalism? Or women working together? Or old people fighting to stay relevant? I'm not sure because I was distracted by the slipping of Meryl and Stanley's dentures, and the casting of such unattractive, unappealing men in every role. We didn't make it to the end. I hope they didn't leave room for The Devil Wears Depends.

I may have to schedule a six hand massage with Kenny, Wayne and Shaun just to get this straightened out.

They recently raised the price for a one hour massage to an even $70.

Okay. When booking at TSMS be aware that you may not get the masseur you think you requested. Got it. Let's move on. I saw Kenny recently and enjoyed it as always. He's very reliable.

Is it really so difficult for new members to read through posts? There are recommendations on every page. @Tarte Gogo and @urbanfetish just left great info less than a dozen posts ago.

OP, I'm going to give my speculation in answer to your question. I know that you were not trying to bring up racism - just asking about habits and patterns. It's only my experience and many of you might disagree, but twenty or thirty years ago there was a perception that gay Asian men in NYC were clingy and pushy. There were far fewer Asian men in town and many were living in fairly closed communities. Homosexuality was so shameful in most Asian cultures that it seemed like the only gay Asian men you encountered were men who could never pass as straight. Stereotypes about being small of frame and penis were reinforced by my experiences. Communication could be difficult as the language barrier was still quite strong. Now NYC has a large population of Asian students and graduates thanks to NYU and other educational institutions. Due to improved nutrition, Asians are rapidly gaining size in all areas. And of course the internet made communications much easier. It's no longer unusual to meet a straight appearing, tall, well-hung Asian and for better or worse, those are qualities a lot of gay men find attractive.. However, assumptions take time to fade and I think the idea of Asians as "other" is still around for some. As for racism and fetishization - these are just words that people use to judge and control the behavior of others. People should associate with, and have consensual sex with whomever they want. for whatever reason they want. Excluding any group means missing out on a lot, but that's a choice.

He said you shoved your face into his bottom.

If you are into the spa experience, Andy at WMen and Alvin at Energy seem open to all kinds of bodywork. YMMV, but they are both excellent masseurs who can be very receptive.

I was lucky enough to see him as Judy Garland one New Year's Eve in Boston. He called himself an illusionist and his night club act was very well done. Camp, of course, but also serious and thoughtful. It was fun to see "Judy" perform I'm Still Here. Jim Bailey, Charles Busch, CoCo Peru, Varla Jean Merman, La Gran Scena. A great period in drag.

You are a true romantic @Callas . Don't lose that. Some people are more likely to catch feelings than others, but we all do it eventually. I've had crushes on masseurs, dated masseurs, and had purely physical experiences with masseurs. It's all part of the messy joy of human connection. Be nice to yourself and accept that feelings are an important part of what gives you pleasure. Your emotions will pass so be patient.

That's a long time ago! I've had some great experiences, met some great people, and spent a great deal of money! Looking forward to continuing the adventure!
