Taiwan - Massage / Sauna / Places To Visit (Compiled)

[riz03]

Visited Taipei a few months ago and had time to kill before an early AM flight so I visited Han's - had fun three separate times with three different guys and darn the last one was the cutest. Exchanged intense eye contact with a tall, cute guy who then came up to me and whispered "do you want me?" (his English and accent were superior for a Chinese literature undergrad at National Taiwan University, I realise later), next thing I know we ended up in a room. I was afraid of missing my flight so I went down hard (and fast) on him but he looked up at me with puppy eyes and said, again accentless, "love me tender". At this point I was just smitten and we did have a very good time. A shame I missed him afterwards at the showers so we couldn't exchange contacts.

in these places, i guess you would need to be more subtle and observant. eye contact first, assess level of interest, followed by interaction behind closed curtains or in the shower.

quite different way of operating compared to mini inn

 

but hey, at least you got a good nights sleep

 

True, slept well there most of the time. Although on some nights I wouldn't mind if someone kept me up or woke me up 🤭

Next time I should try to book miniinn at least a night or two just for the experience then move to IPlayInn for a good sleep.

Yeah it's not the same in Miniinn.  My hook up was via grinder and not by cruising.  

Any tips how to book Miniinn? Always find it fully booked even a month or 2 in advance.

Finally went for a massage in Taipei. Went with Kim from Prime. I must say Kim is very professional and honest, he has good pressure, strokes and techniques. Athletic, fit, well built, muscular thighs, calves, abs and chest. Haha, u name it. He has has a nice tan line too. Nice smile, warm and friendly. Best to choose one of the B series packages, 90mins is good. Gave him a tip at the end. Felt very nice together. Location is in XMD, they have another studio other than the one in Da An. Very convenient location if you are staying around XMD, easy to book through line. Its a little noisy as the building faces the road, but the sensual massage makes up for everything. Thanks for the very honest, wonderful experience. Would love another round. 😊

their saturdays (and less extent fridays) can be hard to book.

they only open their booking on agoda 2 months in advance. so now, can only book till end of Jan
but in a few days time, they should open up booking for February. 
so just be quick when it opens.

 

I know they open for phone bookings earlier than online bookings.

so for popular days/ events, they get booked out by the local taiwanese who phone in to book.

if you know a local person, maybe can get them to book it for you

Hi

Any good intro for a short stay around Taoyuan?

Hostel or sauna maybe.

[Anders96]

No need to tip unless you really want to

 

No pressure it's not expected

Yeah agree, not mandatory to tip, but its well appreciated by the masseur. If there is a good connection with him, think its a really nice gesture to give some, especially if he made u feel good, safe and took care of u. Think they dont earn a lot either. Suppose $10-$15 bucks would be very well appreciated. 

[Mamehajunny]

Anyone in taipei now?

 

took a scoot flight with a bunch of army boys traveling together today. Would love to join them!!

[Sgboy35]

Any gay massage recommendations for tainan?

[Anders96]

quick review of victor (captain spa): very muscular and does a proper good massage before starting to make it sensual. Was a good time 10/10 would recommend. did 2hrs.

 

quick review of leon (ak man): lean and cute, but pics on the website are heavily edited. massage was very average for 5 years of experience and he just goes through the motion. the 2nd half was more fun but would recommend only if you're extras-focused and not massage focused. did 2 hrs. overall 5/10, not my pick for a return

Quite fun tho, heard someone making out at night in bed, and ppl started to peek inside.

 

another thing that we did jerk off together at 3am in the morning inside the toilet.

But in single inn kaohsiung is more shiok. Esp in the shower/pool/steam/sauna area

I love that place at Kaohsiung. A lot of fun plus chatting. Everyone so friendly.

 

At Taichung Kiwi and mini inn, obviously less relaxing. But a lot of fun and disrupted sleep.

[Rugged]

Miniinn anyone? 7-10 jan

Linsen.

Unfortunately the accommodation is not as good there, but the bathing facilities more than make up for it. 

I stay in their single rooms. The dorms seem very bare to me

Soi 13 sauna entry price increased from 800 to 1000 NTD

[Seb90]

Hey everyone! In Taipei for the first time 28/2-04/03. I have some questions: 

- I’m considering Miniinn, will anyone be there? Is it very cruisy or you can also have a night of good sleep if you’re not up for fun? Haha 

- Looking for 1 or more massages appointment. Is mutual touch usually allowed in a b2b sensual massage? 
- I heard about cruising in Eslite Bookstore, is it really a thing? Any stories?

Yes in fact Soi 13 has overtaken as the no.1 sauna in Taipei. Hans is probably a distant second.

I would say yr experience at miniinn depends heavily on the people staying at that time. I stayed there once and wasn't seeking fun one night. But someone still opened my curtains and sneaked in, giving me a shock. Thankfully after I shook my head, he left.

 

For b2b sensual massage, usually you can touch the masseur. If you want more than that, like getting blown, please ask first, as many do not engage in these additional services.

I have always liked Hans.  If you say Soi 13 has overtaken Hans as the top sauna in Taipei, I will now definitely make time to visit Soi 13 the next time I visit Taipei.

Thanks very much for the update.

[hermit]

Actually I meant Soi 13 had overtaken Aniki as the top sauna in Taipei, in terms of quality and quantity of crowd. This was the case since around 2018 as the crowd in the last few years of Aniki was thin and miserable.

 

Soi 13 has a younger crowd with nicer bods. Hans' crowd to me is quite similar to those in Huang Chi hot spring.

Probably that’s the reason why they are charging foreigners NTD 1,000 for entry. 
I concur that the crowd is better. Many twinks though

Its that time of the year again that im able to leave home.  My last experience in japan was eye opening but ill be in taiwan this time.  Just want to ask here about some details...

 

1)  Miniinn's "friendly" floors only have single bunks right?  Planning to book a double regardless what floor it is.  Seems like a crowd for really young people and Im sure im too old for anyone's taste there anyway.  I'll probably just going to take a look and admire the wild exposures of youth if it happens.  Ill just book there because im arriving late and its very near taipei main station.  This early, weekends are already fully booked.

 

2) How are baggages handled there?  

 

3) Planning to book at Single Inn for the rest of my stay.  Its the only one i could find with an onsen type facility where the price isnt eye watering.  I thoroughly enjoyed my onsen hotel experience in japan and this will be interesting. Will be there late feb so it will be perfect for a hot soak.  Anyone experienced staying there?  I once ran into a website saying theres some magic happening late at night at the onsen.  I cant find it anymore.  

 

I will probably have the guts and time to visit hans this time around.  

 

On a side note, anyone into plants here?  will be visiting the jiangguo weekend market but if you know of any other place Id really appreciate it.

Someone mentioned in this forum that the gay friendly floors only have single bunk beds.  Anyway, if something happens, I will watch, if not then I will sleep.

 

Yes, im staying at the single inn in banquiao.  Men and women's floors are separate and each room is a small cubicle where you can stash your luggage.  According to the reviews, the walls are thin and do not go up all the way to the ceiling so the air can circulate.

Going to Taipei this February and thinking of visiting CaptainSpa. Anyone has experience with Nick from CaptainSpa and don’t mind sharing?

From what I've read, levels 5 and 6 are definitely friendly floors, and they only have single bunks.
level 4 is the question mark, whether it is friendly all the time, or only sometimes.

level 4 has some double bunks.

 

one of my stays, i booked a single bunk on friendly floor, and was allocated level 4 (which i think is better than 5/6)
but that was during pride time.
at that time there were people of varying ages, up to 50s. one guy maybe even 60, but i didnt ask.

you need to take some initiative if you want some fun, unless you are so hot that guys flock to you.

shy shy wallflower keep curtains closed etc will most likely get ignored.
