I'll just stick to Renew-  always great experience especially with the one guy

Which renew is this?  Seems like a few places with similar names. Who do you recommend there?

Yeah Man is the only real gay massage spa in Chinatown that I know.

Anyone been to renew York spa on 8th Ave in HK lately ? I saw some google reviews about a new masseur there ..

I tried All Seasons on 9th and 42nd/43rd (mixed staff, and they had at least 3 male masseurs). I previously had been to Four Seasons on 9th and 47th/48th a couple of times (they have at least 2 male masseurs).

Four Seasons has consistently given purely therapeutic treatment with not much sensual touch and about as much pressure as you want. All Seasons was the opposite. If you want a more soothing, light touch and to leave happy, they may be a better option (obviously YMMV).

Interesting to know about All season, but what kind of guy do they have?

I don’t want a happy ending from someone that I don’t find attractive.

I used to go to the all seasons in Astoria and this never happened except once where the guy totally made me spurt. And never saw him again. I think it was just random and he got fired. However I did like it for therapeutic

NYC spa threads seem quiet.. is the freezing cold affecting these spas? I’m thinking of getting a massage today but wanted to check if there is anything I should be aware of.

[Big_Willi]

You could try a 24-hour mens spa in the city. They’re usually still open and not really affected by the cold, especially at night

Oh Alven.  Go see him if you haven’t.  Many years later he never disappoints  gulp !

Go for Jay at spa 27. Excellent massage. Amazing shape. 

 

[Horatio]

Jay at 27 is amazing looking, but gives lousy massage even after soliciting bigger tip. He’s great looking, tho (formerly aka Joy)

I really want to try Jay at 27 just because of how he looks – anyone have experience and know how he handles tip?

 

[Horatio]

Jay at 27 gave me a lousy massage and solicited tips from me 3 times throughout the massage. Lots of weak one-handed massaging. I don’t recommend him at all, but he looks fantastic.

Why does this sound like Jay at Batman wrote this 

Ditto on Jay at Batman. He is awesome. If you like both a great strong massage and all the extras on steroids then Jay is your guy. He caters to what you like.

Jay is not the same as Joy. Jay is asian and Joy is Latino.

Since it seems like it's been a minute since this was asked in the thread: does anyone have updated pedicure recommendations? I'm seeing Why Not / Batman semi-recommended in past posts but would love a current rec if anyone has. I'm curious about VR Men but there've been little to no reviews on here.

Ended up going to VR the other day so a little update: in short, would not recommend if you're looking for anything beyond a standard pedicure. There are two chairs in the back next to each other where they do both pedicures (by a female provider) and foot massages. It's bright with no music, which is kind of weird.

Massage rooms looked clean, but the one guy there was not somebody I'd choose (and seemed to have a cold). If you're into older Asian masseurs, may be worth giving him a try but I can't speak to or vouch for technique.

I’m very new here and I think I did something really stupid. I directly message 27 men spa on instagram and asked them if they have asian male staff and do they provide sensual massage or HE. Turned out they told me is illegal and blocked me🤣how you do hint them “I want happy ending”

Dont be as subtle as a rock slide. Learn to embrace the thrill of the chase. Not knowing where a massage is going, is half the experience.

thanks for the tips, but as someone never experience a sensual massage, really kind curious when you go to a “men spa”, do you assume therapist will by default ask if you want a HE? In which way they will ask you?

I tried renew cozy spa yesterday because of a thread here. It was a guy named Michael he was incredibly good. Not sensual but he did uncover and spend a lot of time on my butt. Wasn’t afraid of my erection but wasn’t sensual at all either if that makes sense 

for a hard, therapeutic massage it was excellent and $88 for 90 minutes 

the space was simple, clean and nice

What did Michael look like? Was he beefy?

Average build with muscular arms. Not beefy really. But an excellent plus massage
