Century Spa isn't that clean, and be prepared to encounter a certain amount of attitude - just my observations of seeing guys get the cold shoulder. Of course there are full on blow and hand jobs in the sauna now and then, so it does remind one of a bathhouse.
 
As I get older, I too prefer the ones which are real spas without high sexual temperature - Wi, Natura and the Beverly Hot Springs.

Curious about this smooth, young, muscled CMT.

I just stumbled on my favorite massage video. Mike Hensen and Kevin Williams. The ultimate massage!

His reviews made me laugh. The most recent ones make sure to mention the advance gift card and how great the appointment was. And also he gives so much extra time over what was scheduled. Business must be falling off.

Was watching ABC News the other night when James Longman did a report from the Middle East. Discovered James is openly gay and is called "the Beirut Beefcake" by some. Thought he should be added to our "sexiest news anchors/reporters" list.
 

Yes. I pay cash and set aside the advertised rate/fee in my wallet. I'll augment that with additional twenties and/or tens depending on the quality of the massage and the overall experience.

Thank you! Do you see a specific person there, @db66 ?

I go to The Gendarmerie in West Hollywood. Nice little spa - they'll take care of all your grooming needs.

Please let me know when he is coming to NYC again. When I saw this post, I realized that I owed all of you guys who recommended a session with Ian while he was in NYC a great big "Thank You"! I was fortunate to manage 2 sessions with Ian before he returned to Honolulu. He was absolutely fabulous. He doesn't compare to anyone else that I've seen since. Not only did he give a great message but the sensuality component was just unbelievable. A nice, sweet guy as well. Just a memorable experience that I'd love to repeat.

Giving Ian a bump for anyone looking in Honolulu. Just saw him again this week - Ian gives a great technical massage, and he is fit as ever! Plus just a really nice man. I started a new thread because the old one started when he was visiting NYC, but his home base is HNL.
 
Edited to add: For those nostalgic about his LA days, Ian told me he's planning a visit here in January.

Regarding the 50-55 minute massage, I agree you pay for an hour massage, you should receive that. Now in their defense, they may not know how easily one man may get off, so it’s understandable if they begin this part of a massage with 15 minutes to go. However when they get someone who releases quickly, they should at least offer a soothing finish by either head massage or something.
 
Discussed at length on here, negotiating or upselling once massage starts is a negative for everyone.
 
Only thing I’d add is when approaching a HE, don’t be so mechanical and fast. It has the opposite effect on me. If you tease or go slow, it drives me wild while fast and mechanical turns me off. Lastly, if you know how to tease and make it last, I’m way more likely to look you up for a repeat visit.

Reporting on my experience in Seoul for this super-popular () discussion, I opted to go to Octagon.

The experience was exceeded my expectations. My "fighter" was Iron Man. He looked exactly like his picture on the website. While in the reception area, I saw four of the other masseurs and they looked like their online pictures too, ranging from muscular to very toned/swimmer's build. Some very handsome. The facilities were clean and located in large apartment in a residential building (kind of weird). Iron Man was tall, very muscular (verging on bodybuilder), very clean, and had a sweet smile and boyish face. Naturally smooth. His massage and other skills were good. He engaged and seemed to be enjoying himself as well.
 
In the confirmatory email, they had revealed rates for time and activities. From another customer I learned that the rate does not equal time and that activity together. If the activity happens even in a shorter session time, you pay the higher rate. My session had no surprises.
 
Communications to set-up and confirm the appointment were challenging. I don't think they check email or the chat line on their website regularly. I ended up calling and speaking with the manager who spoke English reasonably well (and infinitely better than my Korean). I picked out my "fighter" from the ones who would be on duty the next day. Late that night, the manager emailed to tell me that the fighter I had chosen was not available because he already had an appointment but my next back-up (Iron Man) and two other guys were available. I emailed to confirm the next morning after they opened but got no response. Mysteriously, the same phone number didn't work the next day to confirm the appointment. I downloaded and set-up the wechat app and finally connected. Then after meeting in the neighbor, the assistant manager on duty told me that Iron Man was only available for a one-hour session rather than the two-hours that I had requested. That turned out to be sufficient for what I was looking for. I recommend installing the wechat app before setting up an appointment with any outfit in Seoul.
 
Overall, Seoul north of the Han River was great. Seoul south of the Han River (Gangnam neighborhood et al.) was boring. Seoul is still relatively inexpensive for a huge city. Getting around was easy. The subway is efficient and clean, and navigable once you figure out the ticket machines. Taxis are plentiful, clean and relatively cheap. The variety of Korean food was much more than what I've had here in the US. The people are friendly and there is a nice frequency of cute and handsome men. (I did not go out to any bars as I spent the evenings enjoying the food, beer and other fermented beverages.) There were seemingly fewer Caucasian tourists than in other big cities in Asia (and few international tourists in general), probably thanks to North Korean/US tensions. Fascinating history of the country.

Go. Go now. He's awesome.

I always like the casual rub against my hand or thrill of the unknown of a fully naked masseur....the anticipation usually is greater than the actual, but sometimes am very pleasantly surprised.
