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!

Is your office open at all during this time? A few months ago I started going in to my office about once a week just to get some alone time (and focus better and have a "more professional" zoom backdrop etc). After a few weeks I started scheduling a massage during that "office time" and now I go weekly. Spouse assumes I'm at the office all day .

Also looking for input on any recent experiences at Shangrila. Thanks!

Has anyone been to New Paradise lately? Curious to know how my experiences compare to others.

Any other recs for Shangrila recently?

I saw him pre-pandemic and he wouldn’t let me touch him :-/

Would love to hear them as well!
