Had to catch a bus today in Chinatown Chatham Square. And was curious if anyone knew of any massage places in the area. I feel like there has to be. But probably just word of mouth.

Since nobody wants to do the honors then I will be the first one to review Shawn’s massage just a while ago at Flushing location. 
When I entered the location, first thing I notice is that he had this “arrogant” or gangsta kind of vibe. He didn’t greet me with a smile, or spoke at all, dunno if that’s because of language barrier issue. He continued to walk and instructed me to use the elevator. Looks wise, I wouldn’t say he’s more handsome than some of prime masseurs. He has this typical almost twunkish young asian chinese face. He has this really dominant aura despite us I think having the same height lol. Massage wise, you can really tell that he’s an amateur. He was also yawning and just wants to finish the day because I’m the last client in that location. So at that point I was kind of turned off a bit. He definitely needs some coaching when it comes to sensual massage. Then I think when it came down to massaging the gluteal region, that’s when things turned into a redeeming situation. I wouldn’t say mind blowing moves in a massage but enough to make me interested. I am, as always, the vanilla type of gay guy, so when it comes to the number one question of gays, disclaimer: I cannot answer that. But after those events, which surprisingly I led the rhythm of the “massage”, it was titillating lol. I dunno if it’s just the post valentines vibe lol. Funny enough, after the massage, he went back to like the poker face bad boy vibes that he had. Also we didn’t finish the hour, which was ok because I wanna go home early lol. Like 45 mins. Would I be a repeat customer, best answer is “not yet”. He really needs coaching from his co masseurs about sensuality and how to connect with his clients. But from what happened today, he has a lot of potential 👍

I miss Kurt, Timmy and Nelson tho, still my top three. But yeah, Shawn can compete with these guys if he knows the right way to connect with clients.

I wanna hear what others who tried Shawn had to say, also if you wanna know the uncensored version of my review, you know what to do lol!

Oh… how I miss this masseur Nathan from Thai Wellness in LA when I had my vacation, he has this really BIG potential too lol! Didn’t know thai guys could have a BIG heart…. (Sorry just some random thought) 

oh and side note, I’m annoyed that he said there’s no drinking water in Flushing location “anymore”

Anyone know how to get in touch with prime spa. I called and they dont offer mens massage. Did I call the right number.

Maybe they were thinking "Men's massage" like with women masseuse. Clarify that you need a male massage therapist.

Any news with the new guy Jay at Prime/Ciao? 

[NYLMWA]

I texted and they said it was Jayson who returned, not a new guy.

[francisssgorg]

Oh ok... I know that Jason

[JMan]

With Nelson gone from Prime, who is recommended?  I’ve seen Timmy.  He was okay, but shorted me time. 

[Cruiser7]

Shawn and Kurt are both good. 

[francisssgorg]

Tried Jason at Ciao again after a long time. He did way better this time. Massage was ok, but the rest just confirms my overall thought about asian masseurs: that they have the necessary "skill sets" to satisfy a client. Others like latinos, or white and blacks, yeah they have the face card and body (and the most important part.. Lol) but asian masseurs really work hard and are more versatile when it comes to client service lol.. 

[JMan]

Hey.  Does anyone have information on this guy?

Had Jason at Ciao yesterday, gave me an update that Prime lost 2 boys in their roster. I wonder who those are.. Anyway... 

[JMan]

Nelson was one of them…he was good.

Looks like the Flushing location is gone. Sad, I liked having a Queens location to go to since I live close.

Wonder if they are on the verge of folding.😭

It's sad to say the Ciao massage shop is closing, the owner is having issues attracting new workers, their other locations 
(Prime in Franklin Square and Aplus in Medford) are down to 4-6 workers. These spa's were great training grounds for newbies, remember Wayne, Peter, Eric, Nelson, Sam, Simon, Steve, even Jay.... If you call the spa, you can make an appointment with the boys. Adam and Jay are available by request*. 

I read other comments about when you call they only offer waxing.... they do, but they primarily offer male to male massage. 

All the workers are Asian (mid 20's - early 30's)

As far as massage skills I rate them in the following order; 

(Top) Kurt, Shawn, Timmy, Lawrence, Calvin, and Adam/Jay*

(Shawn/Timmy) both work in other NYC spas on their off days.

I think these business will thrive even with XXXX

I am never cheap when I tip, I tip at least 100% over base. Remember the boys only make $20 an hour. 

The schedule is on InstaG, but hasn't changed since April. 

Happy hunting....
