Au revoir Paris Spa - it seems they have been closed by the city as well. 

Wow so is Paris really closed???

Sorry for the delay on this. I do have a tour guide recommendation, may not be SUPER naughty, but really nice and cute and I’m sure could show you a good time. If you need some intel on the sauna/spa and/or massage scene, good info on these forums or you can PM me.

As someone who just relatively got into male pageantry, here is how ChatGPT differentiates among the international male pageants:
Mister World: Organized by the Miss World Organization since 1996, Mister World is unique for its multi-event format that tests fitness, talent, and social skills, emphasizing athleticism and all-around ability. Strong focus on sports challenges and "world’s most desirable man" branding Winner serves as a global ambassador for charitable causes Most recent winner: Daniel Mejia (November 23, 2024) Manhunt International: Launched in 1993, Manhunt International is the oldest and most established male modeling competition, centering on discovering new faces for the international modeling industry. Emphasis on runway skills, photogenic qualities, and commercial appeal Primarily a professional modeling platform, with less focus on advocacy Most recent winner: Adonis Renaud (June 10, 2025) Mister International: Founded in 2006, Mister International seeks to find "modern gentlemen" who embody good looks, intelligence, and social responsibility, with a diverse contestant pool and segments like interviews and national costumes. Focuses on cultural exchange and advocacy (education, health) Highlights articulate, socially aware role models Most recent winner: Kirk Bondad (September 25, 2025) Mister Supranational: Started in 2016 in Poland, this pageant is known for high production values and a focus on stage presence and charisma, aiming to find men who can excel in media and entertainment. Entertainment-driven, "superstar" appeal Less about traditional advocacy, more about marketability and media presence Most recent winner: Swann Lavigne (June 28, 2025) Mister Global: Established in Thailand in 2014, Mister Global is distinguished by its environmental advocacy and celebration of cultural diversity, especially through its elaborate national costume segment. Focus on environmental awareness and global citizenship Winner promotes eco-friendly causes Most recent winner: Alejandro Ortega (October 5, 2025) Man of the World: Founded in 2017 in the Philippines, Man of the World centers on education, youth empowerment, and community service, with the motto "Masculinity with Responsibility."

Andre is still my go to and recommendation. Always. @RyanLee

Hey guys, just dropped a new video for anyone curious about Taipei’s hidden gay scene.
Most travelers only know Ximending bars, but Taipei also has a really unique gay sauna culture and even massage spots like Warm Spa that many visitors don’t hear about.
In the video, I cover:
✔️ Popular gay bars & nightlife
✔️ Saunas and local cruising culture
✔️ Insider look at Taipei’s gay massage scene  😉
✔️ Tips for first-time gay travelers in Taiwan
🎥 Watch here: 👉 Watch the Taipei Gay Travel Guide on YouTube
If you’ve been to Taipei, let me know which place was your favorite!

This info is available in other threads, but Sparadise Wellness Spa in WeHo, Sparadise La Brea and The Sense are other good options. Anyone know any others?

Conversely I am looking for younger, twinky guys in OC or LA, if there are some new/random spots anyone has found. 🙂 Don’t want to steal your thread but maybe we can find both.

I saw Tommy and he was great.

Hope your campaign is working, but it actually hurts the brand of the spa, driving some customers away. Good luck with this.

Hey there, Andy is still around but I think mostly by request only. I’m curious about other masseurs here. I saw someone a few weeks back and it was an ok experience but nothing special. Any new intel? 

Twink lover here. Very much appreciate this. 🥰

If you are unsure when a posts is a genuine review, or from a masseur trying to big himself up, look at the number of past posts under the name. Someone like lookingaround with 2600 posts clearly is a genuine reviewer. 

Not me. I gave my honest experience. I'm a regular customer of the spa. Look at my history. 

Lol I also recently booked with Andre. Probably one of the best experiences I’ve had with a massage therapists. Very accommodating toward my needs. 10/10 would recommend 😮‍💨

Thanks everyone! Met up with Andre… per some recommendations! Did not disappoint! 😉 very sweet guy. Thanks to those that reached out also!

These are great tactical tips from @BSR. To locate a spa/therapist, Twitter/X is your friend. Here is an account to get started, look at the spas he has posted / reviewed and you can go on threads to find all sorts of good intel: https://x.com/simplyme101486?s=21&t=Jjav7G7JkhBBn9koO9cv6w
 

In theory, yes, but …
First, make sure you download the app eGovPH and have it all filled out before landing because doing so will greatly expedite your passage thru Customs — I’m assuming you will have to go thru Customs if you’re exiting the airport.  Población (the gay district in the neighboring city Makati) is only 15 minutes from the airport without traffic.  In traffic, I’d figure more like 45 minutes.  Mapping out a worst case, if you hit traffic going both ways (45 minutes x 2), Customs drags out (another 45 minutes), and security takes a while going back in (another 45 minutes), that’s 3 hours “in transit,” with 2 hours  to squeeze in a massage.  There are a bunch of gay massage spots in Quezon City, but don’t even think about it because QC is kinda far even in light traffic.  If you hit heavy traffic, you’re dead.
You could “order in” and host in The Wings, a transit lounge in Terminal 3 that offers private rooms.  I gotta think you’d have to pay a hefty deposit since no working guy is going all the way out to the airport only to get stood up.  Try the Remitly app because others like PayPal or GCash (most popular cash app in the Philippines) require a Philippine bank account.  Note that you will likely have to start the Remitly transfer several days before meeting because for first-time users, they require you to speak with an agent to ensure the transfer is legit.  It’ll take ~24 hours for the transfer to alert their fraud dept, then you have to speak to them during West Coast business hours, then it takes another 24+ hours for the transfer to clear.
So it’s up to you whether you’d rather deal with the risk of getting stuck in traffic or of paying a deposit to an escort/masseur you don’t know.
PS:  download the Grab app and set up an account before landing.  Uber doesn’t operate in the Philippines; their equivalent is Grab.  When we were looking for a taxi to my aunt’s place, the cabdrivers quoted 1200 pesos, and my aunt asked in Tagalog!  They eventually gave the “real price,” 400 pesos.  I can only imagine the crazy ripoff price they’ll quote a foreigner.  Also, on the way back to the airport, it’s basically impossible to hail a cab in the street.  You’ll need to use Grab (which can e-hail both Uber-style private cars and metered taxis) to get back to the airport.  Note that you can only tip in cash in the Philippines.  10% rounded up to at least 100p (90 cents) to your driver is fine.  The currency exchange at the airport gives a good rate and charges a fair commission.

Encourage folks to not talk like that when we are speaking about people now working at a legit spa, puts both the spa and provider at risk.

I missed the reply here and wanted to circle back for anyone searching for info on this guy. I have met him several times and he is amazing. I’m not sure why he keeps changing his profile or what is going on in terms of the pictures back then… the pics on this profile on RM are more current and are accurate:

I’m not sure why there were no responses here. There are a number of old threads and some threads specific to one spa or masseur, but nothing very recent on the overall LA spa scene and the LA threads don’t tend to stay very active. I was going to post a new thread but figured I would revive this one instead (if I am missing something, please let me know).
I think there is a lot to be experienced right now in the LA spa scene. ☺️ I don’t want to speak specifically to anything like extras in a forum like this, but I will say I have had consistently fantastic massage experiences in LA spas.
Some of the best experiences have been at spas like these:
The Sense Massage and Wellness Center (WeHo)
Sparadise Massage and Wellness (WeHo)
Sparadise La Brea
Candle Spa (Studio City)
YoLo Foot Spa (Glendale)
I have had mediocre (but somewhat eventful) experiences at spas like these:
Prince Mens Spa
Silver Lake Wellness Spa
Ananda Spa
Wilshire Foot Spa
There are still a number of spas I would eventually like to try, among them The Rhyme Massage and Wellness Center (new and discussed in another thread) and Totally Smooth Skin.
I will give a big RIP to Blue Moon Thai Spa (now Silver Lake Wellness) and Samaran Massage TT (North Hills) where I had some great experiences in the past.
Anyone else care to share updated thoughts on the LA spa scene? I think it is having a bit of post-COVID resurgence.

Sounds like you were happy in the end with his selection. 😉
