I went to Renew Body Wellness yesterday and tried Danny. Overall it was a good experience though he was far less sensual than others have mentioned. Nothing really ventured into teasing but it was still a nice relaxing massage. I am curious to try Frank as he has also been mentioned here.

Just had a massage with Antoni. He is nice if a little awkward - some of that might be the language barrier. His massage was pretty good but not nearly enough oil for me. I asked for more halfway through and he obliged but it was still nowhere near enough. I don't like the feeling of my skin pulling so if I go back to him I'm going to have to be very clear I need much much more.

Sounds exactly what I'm looking for - I will try him soon, thx for reporting back

Please report back whoever you end up seeing!

Bumping to see if there are any new/additional rec's. I'm always looking for an amazing therapeutic massage with sensual elements but I'm not always into the extras. I was seeing Sergey at New Paradise who I thought was amazing but unfortunately he has left

Has anyone been to Bathhouse in Williamsburg? I'm wondering if there are any men only areas? Or even what the shower situation is like?

I've seen Ivan and Sergey. I have no specific memory of what Ivan looks like but I remember him being attractive. Sergey is strong/slim and I'm guessing he might be from Kazakhstan since he looks Asian but has a Russian-sounding accent. He's also very attractive and gives a great legit massage.

Sounds awesome - can you give an idea of what his pricing is like?

Any updates/new experiences with the current line up? I haven't been in a long time...

Are there any spas that have masseurs without extras? I used to like Paradise but it's def not only therapeutic there anymore. I'm more than ok with the massage being sensual but I don't really want the HE.

It says on his profile he does therapeutic and sensual massage - do I need to choose one or is it both? If it's sensual does that mean no extras?

I'm looking for recommendations for the best strictly therapeutic masseur in NYC. Bonus if the massage feels sensual - but I don't really want any extras.

Oh wow. I had no idea. What do you think the best times would be?

I've never been to Spa Castle - are there men only areas? Nude? Cruisy?

OP here- I should have been more clear initially- when I said I ‘made a move’ I didn’t touch the masseur, I touched myself and was told ‘no’. He spent SO much time on the inner thigh that I felt it was clear he wasn’t going to go further but was fine obviously trying to…excite me.

He spent a ton of time on my upper/inner thighs, and after i turned over he basically went right to my upper inner thigh. Let's just say I 'made a move' and was immedietely told to stop. I'm perfectly fine with a legit massage with no extras, but I honestly don't know what he was going for.

Just had a massage at NP with Ivan and there were some really weird mixed signals, as others have mentioned. I would definitely not go back to him.

Has anyone been to BATHHOUSE on North 10th St in Williamsburg, Brooklyn? Looks like a big full spa, probably legit but I’m still curious to hear about it!

Any updates or recommendations for places to try? I’ve never been in a steam room and would really like to try one out.

I have no idea what that is?

It appears that the new location of 'New Paradise' is now open. There is a deal right now for 40% massages, as listed on the website: https://www.fifthavenuemenspa.com/ Curious if anyone has been or is planning to go? I'm tempted to go try and if I do I'll report back here. Especially curious at how legit (or not) the massages are.

Very interesting. I would almost assume they are moving considering how expensive Hell's Kitchen is now, and also because I don't think any other mens spa's have more than 1 location.

When you go to make an appointment for a massage and you click 60 minutes (or however much time you want) it gives you choices of who you would like to see.

Has anyone been to New Paradise recently? I see on their website a bunch of new (or new to me) masseurs...would love to hear if any are worth taking a trip over there again

I went to New Paradise last week and also had a good massage with Jay. I mostly wanted to post because they now have a sign up in the massage rooms that basically says something to the effect of "No soliciting of masseurs for services or innapropriate touching is allowed..." While I personally have never had any extras at new Paradise I have heard some on this board tell me it does happen with certain masseurs.
