Spas in NYC

[NYMassageAddict]

Speaking of latex gloves, I used to have a guy who operated out of a chiropractor’s office on 42nd and 2nd. He would do a very proper massage but he would finish with latex gloves and I kinda loved it. It had a very medical fetish feel and some people like that. So 🤷🏼

Thanks to all for the great info on this site...I finally decided to join and contribute!

I randomly stopped into Spa 27 yesterday, where I'd never been, and asked for a one hour massage. I was happy to take anyone available since the reviews on here have been relatively strong. So I got Noah and went back to the nice room. I started face down, and it felt a little strange but I couldn't quite figure out why, but nice enough. After about 10 minutes, he was massaging my shoulders so his hands were close to my ears, and I realized as a heard like a crinkling sound that he had on latex gloves! I popped my head up to ask if that was the case, and he said yes. I asked him to please take them off. He said he wouldn't. I asked if there was any other therapist there who would massage with their bare hands, and he said most of them always use gloves. He then added that if I were to check most spas around the world, that most male therapists use gloves. WHAAAA?? I obviously knew that was crap since I have had a ton of massages in a ton of countries. The only other time I've had a therapist use gloves was years ago with a female therapist and when I asked her about it, she said she was worried about getting HIV (I'm not kidding). So like that previous experience, I immediately stopped the massage. He wiped off the oil from my back, and I paid for 30 minutes. I was pretty shocked and appalled, and told him that they should at least say something to clients so we can choose whether that's what we want. Are the rest of you on here actually getting massages with them wearing latex gloves?? If so, stop that! That's never happened to me at any other place in NYC.

On a positive note, I then walked to Energy Spa, where I had also never been (it was experiment day), asked for an hour massage and was again willing to take whomever was available...and it happened to be Alven! He was always my fave at TSMS but I hadn't seen him in years. We had a great chat and he gave me the usual great massage. So the day ended well, but geez, part of why we all get massages is for the actual human contact!!

Hey There, Yura is here. I'm sorry for your experience , As Noah works in 27 men spa location I try to avoid to involve to their management but as my part I get my boss know about this situation and I believe that your experience was real. These kind of situations have happened in the past. But I can confidently say that we don't allow to provide the sessions this gloves on. In case of Noah My boss gave him forn two weeks of "recovery time" sometimes guys might get "burn out" from the work stress. 

And we really value your opinion and we will have conversation with our team so it won't happen to anyone.

Thanks so much, Yura. It was great chatting with you, and I'm particularly grateful that Max checked in with Noah about it and confirmed it was true. I appreciate you both!

Do you guys have any name to recommend at Epic men spa if I want really nice extras?

[dreamboy13]

I really had a massage in another city where the masseur was really into my feet. And I didn’t know I was SUPER into my feet being attended to in that way during various parts of the massage. Like wow.

So my question would be: which nyc masseurs (spas or otherwise) are into feet attention? I’m really wanting to experience something similar to that again

I went last week and had Fernando, but he didn't really know what he was doing massage wise, was sensual strokes, and he expected a $150 tip for extras. Won't repeat. 

I've always had very good massages there and never any upselling. ICE is the only name I remember.

I don't know about parkneedler but I'm not him and I will say there is indeed a lot of false information going on over there. I'm a regular at hk and I can say there's a lot of odd false info being posted.

I’m not entirely what to make of this experience from a visit to Renew Spa (8th St near 6th Ave). Per recommendations, I asked for Frank or Danny. Frank was busy so I got Danny. Relatively cute Asian guy, youngish - not twink but not fat. Solid build young guy. Nice smile. 
 

His massage included lots of sensual moments - he knows what he’s doing. Get to end and he drapes me entirely, runs outside of blanket and says “that’s all”. Seems to be a move to extend, so I ask for 15 more minutes and oil on front. Again, lots of teasing touch but ends not as I would have thought considering all the teasing. 
 

Anyone else have experience with Danny? Is this consistent?

Check out Niel or Jay, or Max in 27 men’s spa.

Jay at 27 is outstanding.  He is very dedicated to his work.  You won’t be disappointed!!

I believe the tipping is really up to you.  I mean, don’t tip ten dollars for a 90 minute session espy if Jay is good which he is.  I would think for a 90 minute session, between 60 and 80 is fine, and that is the minimum.

My question is, did Jay ask for $150 directly?  If a client is satisfied with his excellent work and gives Jay $150, of course he takes it.

Is it Jay?  The blond Asian strong and is now at Batman Soa on 14th street.  Very awesome. 

Jay at Batman is most wonderful.  I have had him a number of times and he never disappoints!  He gives a mean massage and doesn’t hold back.  Very friendly and professional.  I highly recommend Jay at Batman!
