LOL — that is NOT him. Compare the pics, stats, etc. 

20% tip on a $115 massage would be $23, I don't see what is so horrible about $20. It's still well above a 15% tip, which used to be the standard.

I saw Pillion this week and right afterwards saw a BDSM film, the new Wuthering Heights. 

Hey @Tarte Gogo, yes, it’s fully operational. When you book online, the assigned therapist gets a text notification right away, so they’re notified and ready for your appointment.
Sundays are usually when we confirm everyone’s availability for the following week, which is why you may not see openings if the schedule hasn’t been entered yet. Going forward, we’re going to publish schedules two weeks out so there’s consistent availability showing in the system.
Online booking has been working well for clients who like to book in advance. For same-day appointments, the best option is still to call so we can confirm the quickest availability in real time.
 

I saw Andoni last week and all I can say is A+, 10/10, 5 stars. I highly recommend him. Excellent massage skills and amazing sensual elements.

I have read 4 of Aciman's books.  I enjoyed all of them.
CMBYN is special.  I have listened to the audiobook and read it multiple times.
 

It was alright! Haha. One of the better rates I’ve seen in a while. $38/30 mins and $60/hour. I only do 30 mins as I was unsure and wanted to test the waters. It is a very basic set up although seemed very clean with fresh towels etc. curtains instead of doors to the rooms and the walls did not reach the ceilings, so you have to be very quiet and you can hear everyone else. It is mostly women and Josh was the only male masseur I saw. He was handsome, kind of a beefcake build but toned. I’d say late 20s. Nice ending but massage was not very strong. Good for what it was and the price was nice, but the setup isn’t my cup of tea, although I know some people enjoy this sort of thing!

Had a great experience with him yesterday. 

Yesterday I had a great session with Sar, his actual name.  In a nice studio apartment, he received me shirtless and I went wow.  We had agreed on a sensual session and he did a great job.  He is new to massage but he knew how to use his hands and left me very relaxed.  Sar has a great body and is quite good looking, with a friendly attitude.  There was lots of body to body and stimulating action. His one room apartment is quite nice and centrally located. I will repeat but will likely go for a deli experience.

I just started FISH TALES by Nettie Jones, a bawdy 1983 novel that was reissued last year. Loving it so far!

Everyone who is able should consider adding $10-$20 to your tip next visit to help these guys recoup some of their losses today.

Quick update for everyone: with today’s weather in NYC (heavy snow, nasty sleet mix, and dangerous travel conditions), we’re going to be closed today so nobody has to risk getting stuck or sliding around for an appointment.
The safety of our clients and our guys comes first. Thanks for understanding, and we’ll post again once we’re good to reopen.

I’ve seen him on Sniffies quite a bit — as a host of sex parties somewhere in Bushwick 😈

They are a couple hosting at their comfortable apartment on the Upper Westside, NYC.  Amazing solo, a duo experience will blow you away.  I have written extensively about both men on this forum and continue to see them quite frequently.  They are true professionals who take their craft seriously.
I have no hesitation endorsing them.

We’re transitioning to a more streamlined system, so you may see a few updates along the way. Thanks for your patience and continued support.

Having enjoyed MM's massages 20+ times and joint MM/RA sessions twice, it was my first time meeting RA solo today.  
I am an admirer of the physique and skills he shows on his OnlyFans page (under the same nom de plume).  Being naked in the presence of an OnlyFans star would normally make me nervous.  I am grateful to MM for his personal introduction and for the 2 joint sessions between us that preceded today's encounter. 
Let me say this: he is POWERFUL.  In the best possible sense of the word.  Hands-down, he gave me one of the very best massages I have enjoyed.  I did not go in with a script and just let him work his magic.  And of course, he did,  With enthusiasm and an incredible sense of intuition.
I do recommend and will repeat.
 
 

Sure.  I did see him solo last week and had a 4-handed session with him and with RomeoAntonio yesterday.  Stellar experience!  In fact, 4-handed is a misnomer since more than hands were involved ...
I have written extensively about MM and RA above.  No need to repeat myself except to say that being in the presence of two skilled, nude Greek god-like men is an experience that is hard to forget.

MY own personal way of hiring generally leads to a better and more interesting session each time.
I generally hire for an erotic massage session, (whether the provider is a masseur or an escort). 
On the first meet, I let them do their thing and worry NOT about what I am going to end up getting. It won't be my last massage before I die (at least I hope not ! ) so doesn't matter if it's all bells and whistles at the end. If I DO genuinely like a person's natural repertoire, I will request another session, and possibly request something more than what was included. So booking # 2 is "better" because it's more customized. I always tip well to show my appreciation. At booking session #3 I find that most providers are eager to please a now, potential regular, so will often UP the fun themselves. Sessions #4 and 5 will therefore often ascend into full-on sex ( with appropriate substantial tipping to equal escort fees). After we have moved to fucking and sucking, the dialogue is way open to wants and desires ( from both parties ) so I find that if all this develops in this natural progression, you end up with a very nice friendly fuck regular.  I would have kept all these guys around for decades, but for the fact that I prefer young men and these sorts of fellows aren't nailed down and often move on to other destinations or other opportunities in life.

My vote would go to LuisNYC. It’s massive and all muscle.
Also, at 27 Men’s Spa, Andoni, Jay, Giovanni…

this might be my favorite video in this thread

When you guys say you had a good experience w someone, why don’t you include a description — tall/short, muscular/twink, ethnicity, etc., etc., etc.?!?!?!  The same info you’d probably like to know. It seems sooooooooo obvious that you should do this. Esp for the spas that do t post pics of their masseurs. #wtf 

27 is absolutely open, just a change of management. They’re working on updating socials etc

When they tell you their real name?

I’ve got a copy of BUTT, SERIOUSLY and need to read it more closely. Had just flipped through it before.
and I’m currently reading a novel that garnered lots of praise: GREAT BLACK HOPE by a debut,   black, gay author, Rob Franklin. Totally enjoying it so far.
