Thank you. Yes, this is him. I didn't find him on RentMen when I was looking around. Probably because I had filtered out "hairy". Luckily for me, he had shaved his chest recently.

I had the great fortune of meeting Samuel from Mintboys this afternoon. I usually don't have much luck with Mintboys but every once in a while I try texting a guy from their site. Samuel was wonderful. It was easy to communicate with him. He's very friendly and set me at ease right away. He gave Top notch service from beginning to end. I'm so happy that we met. I highly recommend him. https://www.mintboys.com/male-escorts/new-york-city/671841edff73aa3a7e05b625 Edited to update the subject line with his RentMen name.

I don't negotiate rates and I don't plan on hiring anyone at a $400 rate any time soon, especially someone I've never experienced before. I've only been tempted once because he has good social media, but so far, I haven't pulled the trigger. The risk of a bad or even just a mediocre experience if too high to spend $400. I feel that $300 is the highest I'm willing to go. I'm not looking for a one time experience. When providers price themselves too high, they are not risking the loss of just $400. They are risking the loss of multiple $300 paydays. If I see a guy even just once every two months, that could be $1800 in revenue in a year. At $400, I would be hesitant to see them more than once or twice a year and they'd have to be damn good for me to go back at that rate. More power to them if they can get $400 enough times to support themselves, but it ain't gonna be from me.

Could be. Last time I was there, just a few weeks ago, an hour was $66.

Your mileage may vary - your experience might be different than mine.

The "40% off" price is just the normal going rate for massages these days. I think a 60 min massage at Energy is $66. I don't think they ever actually charge $110. It's the "always on sale" strategy.

I think a lot of people will be giving you plenty of space.

Not a good look for you, Wayne. You could have ignored the posts or posted an apology for any misunderstanding(s), but you came here on the attack, posting this weird rant. I know you are trying to defend yourself but this is not the way to do it. I was still planning to give you a try at some point despite the recent experiences shared by the others above. (I tried to book you over the last 3-4 months but you were not working on the days I tried.) Now? I'll avoid you.

He's Asian (more specifically - Chinese), mid/late 20's, thin build, attractive (in my opinion), a bit shy and quiet but friendly.

Great news! Shaun has returned to TSMS! He's working part time two days a week. Not sure if his schedule will change but for now he's working on Sun/Mon. (Please don't DM me about him. Just let this post serve as my recommendation.)

Do you mean Energy on 23rd near 8th Ave? And didn't New Yorker more than a year ago?

Hmmm, I'm guessing that Simon at EMS might be the same Simon I saw at Energy a month or so ago. My massage at Energy had enough potential that I have been checking back to see if Simon is working at Energy on other days, but I haven't had any luck. I will have to check EMS' schedule (well, text to ask who is working the day I'm available...). If Simon is there, I'll have to take a chance and see if it's the same guy.

In general, no. However, some of them have rentmasseur accounts.

It's still working for me. Are you using the old link or the new one announced last month?

I see they have someone named "Shawn" on their schedule too. That wouldn't happen to be the same Shawn who also worked at TSMS??? It's a different spelling though (Shaun vs Shawn), but I hope, can't I? I feel sorry for them working 7 days a week though. 😢

I finally met Pete yesterday. I tried to book an appointment with him a few weeks ago but our schedules didn't sync. (I had limited availability.) I tried again and we were able to set a day and time that worked. His massage was blissfully peaceful and exciting at the same time. Do not hesitate booking an appointment with him. It was a beautiful experience.

Not a 100% sure but I believe all of the masseurs at TSMS are Asian at this time. They have had non-Asian masseurs occasionally in the past though. Just ask for an Asian masseur when you text or call if that's what you'd prefer.

Yes, definitely 10, maybe up to 15 years ago?

I do recall a basement location that was a long railroad style space - it had a very long hallway down the middle. I don't recall the address but it could be the same one you are talking about.

The Chelsea location closed awhile before the HK location was shut down, IIRC.

Yes, of course, but it would be helpful to know what city you are looking in, unless you plan on traveling the world visiting our random suggestions. 🤷‍♂️

East of 6th Ave, but yes, I remember that one too. (W 8th St ends at 6th Ave.) And there was one around the corner on 6th Ave between 8th and 9th St. I think it was above a Dunkin, which is also no longer there.

That's right. I did get some massages at August's apt before he started at 27MS. Yes, I do remember the huge flight of stairs at that place on 57th St! lol

Keep in mind that most, if not all, of the recent chatter about Anthony has been from newbies. That generally means self-promotion (but not always...).

I remember several of these spas fondly. Babylon was where I first met August, who moved to 27MS after Babylon closed (or maybe a little before it closed?). Moon Boy was indeed the name of the place on 25th off 6th. I remember it being Moon Boy in contrast to Sunny Boy on 27th, before it changed to 27MS and then moved to the other end of the block to its current location. I don't recall the name of the place on Lex at 28th but I remember my experiences there very well. They advertised on Craigslist. I used to get a massage there and then go across the street to an Indian restaurant for lunch or dinner. I never went to the other spa nearby though. I believe that one opened afterwards (or marketed its itself to the gay community afterwards) and I felt loyal to the first place. A few more no longer with us: Top Men Spa (35th and 7th, I believe) Hero (50th and 9th?) Grandee (56th and 8th) 28 Mens Spa (28th and 6th) Alpha Male (west side/midtown - I don't recall the cross streets as I only went once or twice?) New Yorker on 6th between 30th and 31st. 24 Chelsea Spa on 24th off of 9th Ave (not to be confused with Chelsea Men's Spa on 29th and 6th). There was a "bodywork" spa in the basement just north of 14th St (not sure if it was 15th , 16th, etc.) and I think they had another location with the same name in HK on 10th Ave? There was a place on 57th St, maybe between Lex and 3rd? Lots of older, muscular Asian masseurs there. That was probably about 15 years ago. It was one of the first HE type spa I every experienced. There was one on E 53rd, maybe between 3rd and 2nd Ave? Can't remember the name though. And there was a spa near Grand Central, not far from the old Shangri La, except this was in an office building. It always felt a little strange to go to this location with so many "legit" workspaces just down the hall.
