it's been 4 or 5 months, though I never experienced Owen, I had Bentley, a few times. Basic chinese table massage no real skills, had to be vocal about areas to focus on, and to avoid, he spent to much time rubbing my ass opposed to my shoulders or back. Some of the other older guys provided basic service, nothing to tip beyond $20 (or 30%). HE included. The walls to reach the ceiling, you can hear the street traffic and other people talking.

Yuri/Yura = bad massage... will look elsewhere.

I usually do 60 minutes with new people, after I build a rapport, I extend to 90 minutes. Lately, only, Dylan and Tass (@Babylon) fit this bill. I experience at 27-Spa with Yuri, was less than what I expected. on tipping: I tip 30-40 for an hour, for 90 minutes, with interactivity I tip between 45-80. I understand most "therapists" make 1/3 of rate. Less interactivity = less tip. I am vocal about my displeasure (when/if) it happens. I haven't visited Yu-Ping, Yeah Man W Spa, Times Sq, or shangri la...

I recently had a similar experience with Yuri from spa 27. The massage from Yuri, was a simple rotation legs, arms, back, too-much ass work, back to legs, arms, back, ass, repeat.... very mechanical, and not powerful enough, though he did manage to crack most of the joints in my hands, and his. The ending was slow, his manhood somehow was displayed, as well as mine. OK performance nothing to try again, Noticed they had at least 4-7 guys available during the day (depending on time) including a super cute Asian. $60/h plus tip (30-50%). Yuri wasn't my type.

I went back to Babylon, after a 3 month hiatus. Had a wonderful 60 minute session with Dylan (owner) of spa. He remembered exactly how I liked my usual service. He cracked all my toes too! Perfect Ending to a stressful week. Thank You Dylan, Danny isn't bad either, and a shout to Tass and Albert.

Dylan (Babylon) is on vacation thru Nov 19. Babylon is still open, his staff is still working. Note: after hours 11pm-7am, there is a staff of one male and one female person there, although the female (Chinese) body worker doesn't speak English well (mostly services the STRAIGHT men who frequent Babylon. The male staff is all gay and all Asian.

Went to Babylon on Monday: had new boy Tash (or Tass) , Thai about 25, newbie, needs some training, started with my back/legs, flipped me over started on my feet, little pressure, head massage. No HE.

Babylon is open way past midnight, almost 24 hours a day (I think the staff sleeps there, on a schedule). They seem to be open for early morning service, even w/o appointments.

could be the same Danny who was taking private clients in Elmshurst, and switched back to Babylon. If this Danny is the same person then he is Asian, cute, about 5'10" good skills.

Can you repost your tipping guidelines (from the old board post) ?

Babylon UPDATE: Michael is GONE, his replacement is a very cute Asian, although I haven't experienced him yet. Dylan is still perfect.

other spas... any reviews for SoJO in NJ?

I went back to see Dylan at Babylon. Still a great, hands on massage, hit every area, cracked my toes, fingers, etc... felt wonderful afterwards. Just 60 minutes, used to take 90 minutes with him, but he said he can't do more than an hour, too busy... Just him and Mike, and some woman, yes a woman (must be for the straight dudes who wander off the street). Tip $40 : Massage $55

Sunny Boy Spa in NYC seems to require payment before services, somewhat a bad practice, especially if you want to extend the massage past the paid amount of time.

We visit Las Vegas a few times a year on business/Fun: can anyone recommend a massage place with extra services? The places around Chinatown seem friendly, but mostly straight.

Thailand offers great foot massages at 200 Baht, and private oil massage at 300 baht. There are literally thousands of spas in Bangkok, some offer special services. My straight buddy was offered special services (but declined). The trick is finding male on male places with friendly staff. You may need to visit the same spa twice with the same masseur before services are offered. The gay bar scene is wonderful, but be careful too many fraudsters, ladyboys, and pickpockets. In Siem Reap, Cambodia, try the Mens Spa (off Men Road), though both of my masseurs were straight, though the HE was fantastic, no mutual touching allowed. The massage was great and dirt cheap $28 for 90 minutes (I tipped $20). The country uses American Dollars (so bring at least 100 singles for general use).
