Do you wear a mask even when you’re face down? That seems counter productive? It could blow your air back behind you toward the masseur instead of toward the ground? I understand while walking in and laying face up, but not so much while face down.

I don’t think that includes public bath/sauna type places though. Just places where you get 1:1 treatment (with face masks on, extra sanitation precautions, etc.)

He works at Energy Men Spa. Looks more like his other pics than the first one (first one looks like it’s using the masculizimg filter on FaceApp). Just OK.

Has anyone seen the Patreon videos for this ASMR Italian Barber? https://www.instagram.com/asmritalianbarber/

I wish there were some options in Dumbo... Lots of tech jobs and money there. Surprised there aren’t a few masseurs in the area already.

At Energy Men Spa I’ve been offered to see a lineup too, over phone and in person. Felt awkward about it so I didn’t take them up on it, but wish I did cause the one time I went they did a bait and switch over the Scruff app and I ended up with someone who wasn’t the person that was in the app. (Also he wiped me down with really smelly towels... Not planning on ever going back.)

OMG, you think he was praying because of the guilt over what he had done??

I don’t get how there isn’t most obvious tenting during some of these latest massages... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjcH6kBquFudkL7ppFGVaVQ

There’s some hot videos here (albeit not XXX since it’s YouTube, but they have a Patreon for unedited ones?): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjcH6kBquFudkL7ppFGVaVQ

Someone could have taken his photos off his MF profile or he might have posted them himself in other places? I’ve seen that guy in my gym. Definitely still in NYC at least right before the quarantine.

Haven't heard of this place but just walked by it (on 122 West 29th St, near 6th Ave). Has anyone been there? Is it new? They have a sign right now that they're closed during the quarantine.

But by being out and about you can still be responsible for spreading the virus around even if you don’t personally become reinfected. You could be the person that gets it on your hands and touches a surface that someone else who hasn’t been infected will touch. Whereas if everyone stays put, there’s fewer chances of the virus being moved around and transmitted to other people. All these quarantines aren’t just to prevent you from getting sick, they’re there to prevent everyone from spreading it to everyone else.

I saw yesterday that The/One no longer has the police signs and just has one about them being closed due to coronavirus.

How are his massage skills?

Anyone try him?

I didn’t mean that there’s that much gay *action*, just gay people (and you can take that to include bi, men who play with men, whatever... during male-only hours there’s only guys to play with). Most of the *people* there are gay during those times, except for the occasional straight tourists who stick out like a sore thumb but seem to have no clue what’s going on (and at that point people usually wait for them to leave before doing anything). And I did mention that there are attendants constantly coming in and out and that it‘s hard to hook up, which it isn’t at all in a gay bathhouse. So my point was more about the vibe compared to a gym with lots of straight people coming in and out. Not everyone is there to hook up anyways. Some are just there to watch or relax around that type of crowd. Maybe some people meet up outside afterwards. I know some of the regulars are also boyfriends that met there. Also from what I read about the two bathhouses in NYC, they’re gross and don’t have facilities for people to shower/keep clean so it’s not really an option here (at least not for me). I’ve been to a Steamworks near SF before and that was amazing, but there’s nothing like that here.

Bump. Any recommendations for these two places?

What does pubic hair have to do with it? My stats are based more on how many guys whip their dicks out when the time is right, and conversations outside the saunas. Maybe gay was the wrong word, “men who like to play with men”... Other than that I think people’s level of public hair grooming varies a lot. I don’t personally overgroom mine and I don’t like guys to either (hate seeing stubble down there especially). And yeah some straights guys at the gym that work out a lot tend to shave everywhere too. So I wouldn’t judge based on that.

You have to wear a towel outside the saunas during male-only hours. During coed hours you have to wear their shorts or a swimsuit. Inside the saunas people can be more naked but you also have to be careful about not getting caught with a boner (though it’s more that you can’t get caught touching someone else). The thing about this place compared to health clubs is that it’s like 98% gay during the male-only hours (there’s even some Hasidic Jewish guys that you think are straight at first, but they’re not). You do occasionally see some straight people so people still need to be discreet, but it’s usually pretty obvious who those people are.

Yeah, facilities-wise you don’t get much more than you get at a gym steam/sauna (except maybe the temperatures are a little more extreme) but it’s definitely more social. Guys sit and chat outside the saunas. They have attendants coming in and out constantly, though, so it’s hard to hook up but that’s also part of the fun. Thursdays are a little better than Sundays. Sundays it can get way too crowded and hard to find a spot in a sauna, especially next to someone you might be interested in.

I wonder if The One was targeted because they’re at street level with such a big presence. A lot of new places around them like Seamore’s. Most of the other male-only spas are on side streets or the second/third floor and a little more discreet. I could see nearby businesses wanting to chase them out.

That's the 2/17 - 2/23 schedule. They haven't posted a new one for this week.

Doesn’t it work both ways? If the video gets out, you can tip the police about the masseur’s services...

Any recommendations for guys at WhyNot and HeyMan in the West Village? It’s hard to search for them on here since their names are three letters (and the forum software doesn’t let you search for phrases using quotes).
