I see, well, if nothing to do/see then can recover from partying in Taipei

So TOTALLY agreed, all tourists rushed and die for it as though it is an UNESCO site or a must-visit

 

not just jiufen, shifen , many other places in Taiwan is of such a category

Hi guys, 

 

I have been following this thread for quite some time because there are always interesting and useful gay-friendly tips on Taiwan. I decided to write today because I felt that it's time to contribute too  

 

i have been to Huang Ding last night which is a Saturday night and I must say it is really really busy from 6pm onwards. In fact, I realised that actually the peak is not really about the time but it's about how early the place gets dark. Since it's nearing winter, it starts getting dark around 5.30pm so the crowd started flowing in and yes, many bodies to look at and whatever your type is, there will be one. The steam room is a hot mess but I realised also that if you eye on somebody, just stick out your hand and grab it. Taiwanese are so shy, they will not initiate well not many will. Once you got your target, I noticed people leave and go to the smoking area because it's Super dark! Haha. 

 

Today, I tried massage at YF Spa and I had Cory. Took the 90mins full body oil massage for 2600 and it includes a body to body oil massage. The moment he lay his hands on you, you can tell this person meant serious business. He gives an excellent massage, contrary to some negative comments I've read about him. Cory's skill is definitely compatible to the very good and authentic massage in BKK. The happy ending is the usual which is a handjob but I'll say he is very sensual. To top it off, Cory has a very nice smile if you are into cute Taiwanese boys  I've tried Royal Spa, Morgan Spa and now YF Spa, I must say YF's environment is very nicely done and clean plus the location is good as it's near the main road in a popular shopping area. 

 

For those who think I'm a YF staff, haha I'm not I just feel that I want to do some justice to the awesome massage I received!

No problem, just wanted to share the good things. Anyway, additional info for you guys who are considering going to hot spring:

 

1) bring your own towel (a MUST) 

2) bring water bottle

3) if you want to take a cab, it's about twd450 from Ximen station

4) if you wish to take public transport, I took bus 508 to the nearest station Shipai for twd15 

5) locker is free so if you bring a big bag like me, haha you can consider being selfish and take two lockers. Keep one of the lockers key in another locker so that people don't know you  took two. Hahhaa please don't do this during peak season like winter because I heard not enough to go around during winter season

Will be going to Taipei in mid-Nov, and it will be my first time going to the hot spring.

I guess I'll try to avoid the peak period, so that I won't feel too embarrassed with my out-of-shape body.

Ok they have two package, if you take the one with full body oil massage then yes he will be naked because he needs to do the body to body massage. Another Tip is you can take the normal massage then if you feel good about the massage and the masseuse, you can change the course to full body oil and just top up after the session.

in Taiwan, actually the price includes the happy ending which is usually a handjob but if you feel you want to show more appreciation then feel free to give. I gave Cory because i think the massage was really good. 

[Slowersloth]

Hi, all. Just before a short stop-over trip to Taipei I happened to know this forum by googling and got useful information enough to regret why I didn't know this before.

 

I'm a massage lover and take at least 1 massage per week. On travel, 1 massage per day.  Normally I like serious professional massage but sometimes enjoy 'HE'(newly-learnt word here) especially when travelling. Here goes the detail of 3 massages I had in Taipei this time.

 

1. Chuan Tang (川湯)

I chose this place to enjoy nude bathing in the open air. Entrance fee is 200NT$ and you need to bring your own towel(or buy at the counter-100NT$) and 20NT$ coins to use the locker. I'm not sure the massage service runs 24hrs as the spa but I took 40mins massage at 11pm and the masseur was still around when I left at 12:30am. 30/40/60mins session was 600/800/1,000NT$. Masseurs were oldies and no hanky-panky. But anyway you can enjoy freedom of being nude under a thin sheet of towel through the session. The dry, Chinese massage was good enough.

 

2. My Home Salon

They respond to Line very quickly and Kevin was available on the time I asked. His massage skill was so so and the time lying facedown was boring but he was quite sweet to give me a bj and then 69. I guess this type of massage parlors provide HE by handjob as default and more is by mood or chemistry. If you don't make a reservation it's hard to find for it doesn't have a sign.

 

3. Prime Spa

Easy to find from Zhongxiao Fuxing station. I got Noah through Line reservation and his deep tissue finger massage(dry session) was so great that I thought of postponing my flight. I got only 1.5hrs left but they didn't have any shorter treatment than 2hrs so I had to pay full for 2hrs, which was totally ok for me for his massage was so nice. He speaks almost no English so I couldn't make him do as I wish. I wanted the dry session till the end(no HE) but when the time is about to over, he proceeded to HE in a conventional manner which I didn't like. Guy at the counter speaks good English and was very helpful to call a taxi to the airport on the exact time I asked.

 

Now I'm back home but already missing Taipei, guys there and their playful heavy hands dreaming another trip before too long...

My experience at Royal Spa:

 

Was a last minute decision to visit, so I was a walk-in. There were only 2 therapists left. I chose Reyno, as he looked more ripped in the pics. Turns out, he's buff, but not as shredded as the pic, however it was fine for me.

 

Started off with normal massage in the beginning. We connected well as I spoke mandarin with him and we chatted quite a bit. He allowed me to touch him all over during the massage. He wore super tight shorts and also underwear, so it was tough to get to his dick. Most of the time it was tickling of his inner thigh, and rarely, if I could reach it, his balls and shaft.

 

It took me by surprise as by the 2nd hour, lights were dimmed. He started the oil massage. During the oil massage, he took off his top, and disclaimed that the oil massage will be performed with his shorts on. After some time, he erected and then followed by stripping naked to do a B2B for me. Now, there was oil all over his body and mine, so we played with each other's dicks. I wanted to make him cum 1st, but I guess he wanted to be professional. In the end, he wanted to B2B me until I cum. So he carried on with more oil and B2B until I came. I finally came, but afterwards, I totally forgotten that he hadn't cum. As I came during the B2B, there was cum all over his body and mine, we went on to shower together.

 

Afterwards, he wanted to cum, but I wanted to leave. Being professional, we ended the session. He even wanted to have supper with me then, but I declined. This was my 1st time visiting a massage with HE, hence, didn't know what to expect. Enjoy your experience!

This is my personal experience recently. I took Cory for 2 hours of massage. Massage was so bored. Not sensual at all. If you ask me whether I would go back to get his service, I would say no.

I'm traveling to Taipei for the very first time and planning to try massage at Royal Spa and Weipa. I was wondering if the prices shown on their menus and website are inclusive of tip for masseur? Is it compulsory? Anyone give me a clue for how much should I give them for different services please.

 

 

[Tommy010]

Going Taipei from 5 - 10 Nov alone. If you are there, we can explore together. Been to both hot spring, so looking for companion. 38 yo stocky small size stocky Chinese here.

Heading to Taipei next week. Any nice massage to recommend?

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Being totally naked in front of strangers and not caring is totally liberating. It helps u understand Japanese and Taiwanese culture a bit more. Now I understand why they love going to the onsen. No one looks and no one cares how you look and you won't get an erection with so many naked guys - I don't know why but it usually doesn't happen. There's something about being fully naked, open and just enjoying the warm water:) For those who have never tried it I encourage u to do so

If you wanna be nice to the guy, don't be stingy. I think 500-1000 is an okay number.

In Taiwan, massages prices are kinda inclusive of tip. Sorry to say this but I think the Foreign spa goers tend to spoil the market a bit by tipping so much as 2500NT is pretty expensive by Taiwanese standard! I still do tip 500NT if I find the massage was exceptionally good!

I Guess it depends on what you are looking for because you said bored so perhaps you are expecting more than just a good massage. Like many here who said, the sensual and special really depends on the chemistry between individual and therapist. Hence maybe Cory is not the best for you but I think YF is generally quite good because I tried another therapist as well.

Is it weird to go to the hot springs alone?

Or do people have cliques there. 

Sorry for asking noob question

Just for information, the following will be resigning from Royal Spa:

1) Kay from 28 October,

2) Tsuna from 29 November, and

I love going to hotspring alone and l will do the same in my coming trip to Taipei. Being alone you can close your eyes to feel the"now" while soaking in the water, pursue the hot guys anytime you want, etc. Going alone is the best thing to do.
