Seeing that instagay GayGaston has now joined Rent Masseur, it had me thinking of other NYC insta/twitter gays who have started doing massage. Has anyone tried Nick and his business venture Roundhead Wellness? https://www.roundheadwellness.com/team

Sadly no, but the Kyle I had gave a pretty good massage all things considered.

Anyone try any of the new guys at New Paradise lately? John or Kyle...

I would normally agree with you but everything about the experience- from my initial phone call to make a reservation, to arriving at what ultimately looked like a railroad college dorm that reeked of poppers and dr*gs, to the couldnt-be-bothered person at the front desk, to the laziest “massage” I’ve ever experienced, not to mention the gallon of oil I was doused in and then left in to clean off myself- the whole experience was an epic let down after so many glowing reviews here. But of course, all of that is just my one experience of this particular place and I accept that. Just keep your expectations low if that’s where you want to take your business.

Decided to finally try Spa 27 for the first time today and all I have to say is… Save your money fellas! 👎

It really depends on personal preference, how you like things to look AND feel. I’ve been waxed, shaved, trimmed, sugared and lasered over the years. I would routinely get my back, shoulders, butt, crack, hole, balls and shaft all done. I’d also have them trim my pubes so that they’re an even length all around. I also have them lightly trim the hair right under my butt on my legs so there isn’t such a stark difference between my (now) hairless ass and hairier legs. But overall I have found that I especially love the way my balls, taint, hole and shaft feel when they’re completely smooth and sugaring and laser have provided that consistent level of smoothness I prefer. My hole is incredibly sensitive so having it baby smooth when it’s being played with makes it even better.

I normally don’t like to share, but Carlos has jumped to the top of my list: https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/42013/

Did anyone frequent THE ONE in Chelsea? I really enjoyed that place and lived around the corner for many years. 9 times out of 10 I got a solid massage w extras, and the showers / locker room tended to be a great spot for flirting / cruising with other patrons. Anyway, does anyone remember the tall, muscular, very strong, (Russian?) masseur there? I can’t remember his name (Max maybe?) but I definitely remember his hands. Would love to know if he’s elsewhere now or if he went private.

I had Francis last night. Sadly cannot recommend, though the last five minutes were fine. I initially had an appointment with Chad at 27 but they canceled on me last minute as they had overbooked by mistake.

76th and Rock Center are my typical go-to locations. Haven’t had a massage at an Equinox in recent years - always found them to be legit - but the steam rooms are another story, especially Rock Center 😜

Has anyone been to New Paradise lately? Have had some luck with extras lately much to my surprise, though not consistently. Anyone else? Also, any massage studios on the UWS? Feels like such an untouched section of the city!

I usually call while I’m en route to a spa, ask who’s available “right now,” they list them over the phone for me, and then I choose and make an appointment. This way it’s not awkward in person and I can avoid anyone I don’t want to spend my money on

Heading to the village today to run some errands. Anyone been to Why Not lately? Any recs?

Heads up to the group: Shangrila has closed their location in midtown. They are moving down to Flatiron and are aiming to be re-open by mid-September.

How’s M Spa?

Heading to the west coast next week for work for two weeks and looking to start researching who not to miss. Any strongholds, beefy, hung, deep-digging studs I should dial up? Can send back full details if I end up going with your rec

@Jim_n_NYC Feel free to DM me your Penthouse story And thank you everyone who's responded so far. Definitely having second thoughts!

Hey guys. Had the great luck of booking Eli last minute today. What a treat! Very nice guy, really great technique and holy shit he exceeds the definition of this thread. Can’t wait to go back! Check him out if you haven’t. A dream.

I started dating a masseur right before the pandemic and we have been talking about moving in together. He works from home and the question has come up that if he’s going to have his table set up in the living room, can I just hang in the bedroom while he has a client, or should I be expected to leave the apartment entirely? My job has me out of the apartment most days anyway, but at night I’m typically home. Anyone have any experience with this? Or suggestions?

Anyone know what happened to Carlos at New Paradise? I just saw him a few weeks ago but he’s no longer on their booking site. He was one of my faves.

Pretty impressive and they seem to be on top of it regularly. Temp taken upon entry, hands squirted with sanitizer, and everything inside looks carefully cleaned and easily replaced for the next client. There seems to be - between a lack of customers and the new rules in effect - ample time between clients for them to clean and prep and ensure the next person has a fully freshly cleaned room.

Hi gents. Anyone been to PV lately and have any stories to share or suggestions for any massage places over others? There are so many, it’s all so affordable (~$50 for 60 mins!), and I’m here for the next few months and want to try out a few. You have the young masseurs hanging outside their doors all throughout Zona Romantica, you have the high-end Acqua Spa for Men, you have the Hamam Turkish Bath and Spa, you have guys advertising on all the usual apps. Any recent intel anyone want to share? I just had a great 90 minute massage at Acqua over the weekend and while I know their reputation is that they are 100% legit, I couldn’t help but feel like my masseur was gently teasing certain areas, getting me completely erect, and then calming it all down. It felt like he was guiding me on waves of bliss followed by ultimate relaxation that was all so incredibly powerful. There was no release and no touching, but he’d removed my towel from the get-go so every inch of me was on constant display. I wonder if I return soon for a repeat with the same masseur what might happen...

Looking for new spa recs. Anyone see someone lately that they really enjoyed?

I had Alex at Shangrila today and he is indeed 100% g rated, but a good massage!
