Spas in NYC

[theoneman]

Sounds like a lot of options around the city. Paris Men is still my go-to when I want consistency, but wondering if anyone has fresh experiences with the newer masseurs there.

[theoneman]

I’ve had mixed visits at Renew too. Honestly, I’ve been sticking with Energy Men and Yeah Man lately — both places have been more consistent for me.

Troy @ Energy men spa in pain in the butt. Tried him in the past. I thought  to give him one more chance but I was wrong.  total waste of money. He does nothing, just time pass.

Does anyone have recommendations for good masseurs in Manhattan at the legit places like the ones on 8th Street or further uptown? I used to have a few go-tos but haven’t found a good masseur in a really long time. Seems like the quality of the masseurs at these places has gone down. Feel free to PM

Renew York spa is pretty solid

Go see Andy at Epic.

Andy is amazing and highly recommended. I had a sore back and needed a therapeutic massage. The receptionist showed me to the room so I was already on the table when he entered and he didn’t ask me about my problem areas. Nonetheless he found them all and used very firm pressure. I was grunting and moaning so that much anyone in the next room would have had the wrong idea as to what was going on. It wasn’t relaxing, but I felt 100 times better afterwards.

Isn't renew day spa a purely therapeutic place. Also there are signs inside the massage room that say not to remove your underwear. Do you guys still take them off?

I believe the question was about legit spas. "good masseurs in Manhattan at the legit places"

As for underwear, even the "less than legit" places have signs saying to leave your underwear on but that doesn't mean it has to stay on. I've been to many legit spas and taken everything off. If anything, the masseur will cover your butt with a towel.

Thanks everyone for sharing all these experiences, super helpful. I’ve mostly been going to Energy and had solid sessions there, but I’m curious how people feel about Yeah Man these days — any standout masseurs recently?

Also, sounds like Paris Men has been getting a lot of buzz lately with guys moving over from TSMS. Anyone have more detailed experiences there compared to Energy? Trying to figure out which spot is worth checking out next.

well "legit" until he started getting close to my hardon and purposefully exposed it but I didn't know how to proceed..... I went back again to the same guy and second go around, he stayed pretty far away from it.    Not sure how to ask for it

You just have to say, "would you like to go for a ride?"  If he got close to your throbbing cock and purposely exposed it, he was waiting for your signal to service it.  When you didn't say anything, he probably figured he better play it safe and not react.  When you returned for the 2nd visit, you should have made it clear from the get-go what you wanted.  I think he wanted it.  A missed opportunity for you.

It’s funny I used to go to renew York spa in Hell’s Kitchen. Could you tell me more about this place? Any beefy, older or husky guys there? It’s a straight place but maybe extras??

Reading all these updates makes me realize Paris Men has really stepped up lately too. A few of the masseurs who used to be at TSMS are there now, and the vibe feels more consistent. For me it’s been more reliable than Renew and closer in quality to Energy

Do you like these better than 27 / HK? If so, why? I’ve only been to 27 & HK.

[JayinHKNYC]

I'm not replying to one of today's posts... but in general be aware of several of the spas offering veiled, anonymous self-promotion of their spas/masseurs. At least 27/HK identifies themselves when they speak. Others make you think they are commenting on a place when they're basically just advertising/PR. It leads to ALOT of unreliable reporting.

That's why it's important for reliable COM members and contributors to post when they have a bad experience as well as a good experience. Newbies are sus until they build a reputation.

I just wish energy could spend some money and give the place a face lift, could use some TLC. Although they have such reasonable rates may not be within their budget, I just hate the carpet

I like 27 better than HK, even though they’re part of the same business. I’ve hustled had better experiences with the same masseur at 27 vs HK

Energy I would recommend you check out, they’ve got some great guys, primarily all Asian, whereas HK/27 has a much wider variety of guys 

[AtticusBK]

I also like 27 better than HK @Nyc000here — it’s more private which is why the experiences are better. Unless you get that very private downstairs suite at HK 😈

and yeah — I’m more into the variety of Latin guys at 27/HK than Asians elsewhere, not that I’m opposed to Asians at all - lol

who would you recommend at Energy? I’ve only heard about Alven.

Alven is great , I’d recommend him. And when you go just ask if you can see the other guys working 

[Westvullage]

Lately, the places people keep bringing up the most are Yeah Man, Energy Men, and Paris Men. Energy Men still has the stronger rep if you’re into mostly Asian masseurs, while Paris Men has been stepping up since a few guys from TSMS moved over — feels more consistent than it used to. Yeah Man is steady too, but there haven’t been as many detailed reports about individual masseurs there compared to the other two.

Had a great 45 min massage at Seasons in the EV. Had some sensual strokes but nothing special. Overall good massage though, very thorough and focused on problem areas. Was off putting at the end, my masseur finished everything was good but then was nowhere to be found. The lady at the front insisted I give her the cash for the tip that she would give to him after I asked twice where he was so I could hand it to him. Would go back, just hope the money made it my masseur.
