Gay massage
Gay massage is a catch-all term covering everything from legitimate male massage therapists to sensual massage, Erotic massage, body-to-body massage, Nuru Massage, Tantric Massage, Lingam Massage and various forms of Happy Ending services aimed at gay and bisexual men.
The scene works differently in every country. In some cities it is mostly professional massage with a bit of flirting. In others it sits very close to the escort world. Depends who you ask. The internet changed a lot and most of the old classified ads, magazine listings and newspaper personals disappeared years ago. These days most gay massage providers advertise through websites, social media, apps and private messaging platforms.
Cities such as Bangkok, Berlin, Amsterdam, Prague, Taipei, Mexico City, Ho Chi Minh City, Barcelona and Puerto Vallarta have a visible gay massage scene. They work out of dedicated studios, apartments, hotels, gay saunas and bathhouses.
A lot of guys looking for a gay massage aren't necessarily looking for a brothel or a full escort session. They want something that’s somewhere between relaxation, touch, sexual tension and adult entertainment. Sometimes that means a good massage with a sensual touch. Sometimes it means a massage that turns into something else.
Prices are approximate and change rapidly. Foreign guy usually pays better. It depends on the looks of the masseur, location, reputation, language skills, length of session and how touristy the city is. Prices start from around US$40-80 in cheaper countries, and can easily be well over US$150-300 in major Western cities.
As you would expect in all things adult industry, the quality varies enormously. “Some providers are great therapists.” Some are essentially selling a quick handjob and calling it a massage. Usually you can spot the difference within the first five minutes.
