I saw Timmy yesterday.  Hot time.

I had Timmy recently and I actually really enjoyed it. His massage was definitely different than Kurt’s, as it was seemingly more pressure points, (not sure what style that is) but it was good to me. I think both he and Kurt were great. 

I think it is my mission in life to try the new entrees of prime lol. So I had Matt, I don’t think I’m coming back for him again. First off, he looks like a barely legal teenager which scared me, average looking asian. Second, he has a decent massage which mostly concentrated at the back and not any other parts at all, which means I didn’t experience any sensual touches in the sensitive areas, if you know what I mean. The only saving grace is that when it’s time for the HE, he has hands that has a really high potential for ed**ng. It’s like the same hands my favorite masseur has back in my country that kinda magical, very warm and kinda soft and moist a bit. If only he knows how to use it, it could have been an explosive ending, and not just a nice one lol. 

I can’t believe people are going to Abel in the first place. He’s certainly the least attractive guy in the gallery by like miles and miles. 

Ok so I was supposed to get another massage from either franklin or flushing location of prime. They said timmy and sam are available in franklin and as usual, jason on flushing, which I’ve all tried. So I researched deep in the web for some other men spas that aren’t located in manhattan (I’m not commuting in this weather btw). Most of the spas that I’ve really searched are coed. Like with both mostly women and male massage therapists. But I saw this “EZ men spa” in flushing queens, which has a paid parking nearby, and I thought, ok lemme try. I was really hesitant at first because there are 0 reviews from google maps as well as yelp, not even here in companyofmen.org. I asked in spas in NYC thread, nobody responded. So i texted the number in google, they responded. The rates are the minimum ones you can find in manhattan from asian men spas, which is 60. So I said ok not bad, cheaper than prime. So I set up an appointment after they confirmed that it’s an all male spa. But they have only 2 asian masseurs. I went there and had Kevin. Decent looking guy. Looks straight. The massage is decent as well. Very typical swedish shiatsu massage that asians do. Come the HE part, he was asking for a specific tip. I haggled a little bit because I don’t know what to expect. He was already failing on the transition part, and no sensual noted. He said he’s gonna do a body to body massage. Which is really like an epic fail nuru for me. Tbh I don’t think I’m coming back. He might be a t*p tho, there certain moves he did that made me think of it. He said his name is Kevin. Didn’t ask for the other one’s name, he sent me a photo of the other guy thru text. Not really interested. I just wish there are more men spas outside manhattan. I like the fact of being in a spa, not knowing who you can get. Instead of like reading from tons of reviews and having this expectations…..

To be fair, who isn't? You?

To be fair, who isn't? You?

I had an appointment with Jay at Batman Spa last week. He was very polite, gave a really great massage, and we both seemed to enjoy all aspects from beginning to end. He does give one of the strongest massages around  
There was no upsell. No negotiation. He gave great service and I tipped accordingly. 
As for his looks, I'd say he's a regular looking guy with a nice body. Not a model. Probably in his early to mid thirties. His hair is a really bad orange blond which looks terrible on him. And he could use a visit to a dermatologist. If the right guy meets him and gives him a makeover, he could be handsome. 

100% for a $60 or $70 massage nothing if you're getting any decent extras. If you are going to a place that's charging $120 or $150, then maybe not 100% but still pretty close if the extras warrant it. I've gone to the $60/70 an hour spas and tipped upwards of $200 (yes 300%) when the extras were essentially escort level service (not naming any spas here or in DMs BTW...).
But regular extras? Definitely 100% as a base level and more for better service. 

Depends what you get. An escort in Manhattan will charge $500 an hour, and if the masseur makes you just as happy as an escort would, 100% tip is actually pitiful. 

If I have booked a new guy that doesn’t  know me, I leave 3 banknotes of $50 clearly visible on the table next to my watch and other personal things, to indicate what I am ready to tip. Never had a negotiation since I started doing this. 

Never once has this happened to me with Timmy, I’m really surprised. Like any of us at work, he may have been having a bad day. I think overwhelming he is worth a try if you never have. I find his massage quality to be top tier, especially since becoming a regular of his.
 
Another tactic - Often with new people (usually at HK27, not TSMS) I tell them up top that I tip well to negate any reason for negotiation. It shouldn’t be necessary, I know, but often it helps.
