Whoa………….

Dark.  Damp.  Dingy.  Dismal.  Decrepit.
And now with the price jacked to HK$65.00 (from HK$58.00) they just keep coming in………..but there’s no fuckin’ excuse for the place to look so crummy.  Hell, even the lockers are going rusty and nobody gave a damn about the plethora of used Q-Tips on the vanity counter. That’s right fags, USED Q-Tips in between the complimentary combs, brushes and other goo goo.

This is the epicentre of the Visually Uninspiring -  chink Old Fart Central and Chubland plus skinny chink twinks looking for easy pickings.  It helps to speak Mandarin in this joint to say, “No thanks” just before punching the persistently aggressive Mongol hordes in the face.   For them, getting their hands brushed away with a smile is just foreplay.

Large chunks of the clientele stood immobile, swaddled in 3 towels each, in the face of ferocious air conditioning.  Gay Sauna had met Cryogenic Suspension.

It was all just eeeeewwwwww.  FuelMix left pretty quickly.  With a cool spring here in Very Rich Megacity, pneumonia didn't seem an inspiring option.

Fuck.......do they really need to hand out towels with holes in them?  Oh wait, it pretty much matches the decor.

Studio 2006 - Shanghai - 2

1639 Huashan Road, No. 10 or
2006 Huaihai Middle Road No. 10
Shanghai
People's Republic Of China

Tel: +86 21 5230 6916
Web: http://www.studio2006.com.cn/

This came in from a reader today:

So I was in Shanghai this past week, and decided to drop by this place after work. They had a good website, looked tourist/visitor friendly, and the pictures make the place look like a real nice spa.

I'm not a sauna sexpert but the place looked good online and the reviews I read were decent. It was just around 6pm when I decided to give it a shot, and gathered up the *ahem* to go there. The place is in a basement not far from the busy shopping district of the "old city." 
 
However, it took me a while to find the place. I walked down the dimly lit stairs with a chandelier-lined roof. As soon as I entered there were two guys in line in front of me - the receptionist said "80 Yuan please" and I followed pursuit, paid up, and walked through the red passage and in the black doors. The receptionist just handed us a ticket. A guy approached us as soon as we walked in and handed us locker keys in exchange for the ticket. The place was clean, kinda dark, and sorta busy. Before we could get to our lockers, a few middle aged local dudes were checking us out.

The locker had slippers and two towels ready to be used. So I took off my clothes and got ready to check out what studio 2006 had to offer. So far, all I had seen was the one white guy and his local friend who from the little conversation I overheard sounded like a guide for tourists, and the welcoming committee for new meat that was a bunch of older dudes in the locker area.


At about 7pm, there were 5-6 middle-aged locals, one older expat, one tourist and a few younger locals who were very twink like and barely spoke any english.


There was no steam room, the sauna was not working, and the place was freezing cold. I saw a few guys watching porn in the tv room, the private rooms were all open when I walked through the passage. There was one kid surfing the Internet and another at the bar talking to an older guy. The guys who were actually cruising were persistent and grabbed you whenever they got a chance. I hooked up with one of the younger locals in a shower cubicle, showered quickl, and got the hell out of there.

Overall the place was clean, had private rooms, gym, showers, and a bar - good facilities, but the guys….. ummm…….. nothing to look forward to. The place is nice and the staff friendly, but I'm not sure if the time I decided to show up was wrong or it is always like that? I was expecting the guys there to be a lot better than the other places Shanghai had to offer especially after having read all the reviews and comments on other websites.

Hope this helps.

FuelMix says:

HHHmmm.....FuelMix has been hearing anecdotally that the Shanghai gay scene may be over-hyped.  The suspicion is that the reviews you read on other sites were self-serving.  That's the reason this blog launched the totally independent, detailed reviews of the Hong Kong saunas - and then invited readers like yourself to submit their impressions of gay saunas here and in the Asia region.

It might have been helpul to ask the staff whe the best times to come are and what sort of guys show up.  They've got everything to gain by disclosing that. Everything in China is negotiable, so it might have been possible to negotiate a discount for your next visit there at peak times when there was a better chance of scoring with hotter guys.

Next time, hit one of the Shanghai gay bars with hotter looking guys first, ask them when the best times to go to Studio 2006 is.  They're bound to know.

Thanks for the feedback.

Gay Bars HKG

This in from a reader today: 

Dear FuelMix

I recently made your blog my home page.  I like your upfront style and analysis.  Also your sauna reviews are clear and helpful.

Can I make a suggestion ? Maybe you could have a section on the gay bars in Hong Kong ?  That could be helpful to a lot of guys too.

All the best
S------- 

FuelMix says:

Oh......now that fascinated readers know where to get action with a towel, they're looking to score with their clothes on.  OK,  FuelMix will leave it to his readers to grow some balls and send in their comments about the gay bars here in Very Rich Megacity.

QQ Fitness 3

3/F King Dao Building
14 Burrows Street
Wanchai
Hong Kong 
MTR: Wanchai Station, Exit A3

Tel: 2834 0554 or 2527 7073 
Web: www.geocities.com/qqsauna 
Note:  The only gay sauna on Hong Kong Island open 24 hours

The Clientele 

OK  straight up, FuelMix showed up mid-week around 7pm.  Truthfully, there weren't more than 5 customers there for the couple of hours that FuelMix hung around.  That was surprising given that it's open 24 hours, and its easily  accessible location from the Central Business District as well as the offices in Wanchai and Causeway Bay.  It may well have been an off-night and it happens in any sauna.

The staff on duty chatted to FuelMix and apologetically pointed out their inability to predict when fags would show up.  According to them QQ Fitness gets mainly chink fags in their 20s to late 30s.  Some are gym built dudes, but it's mainly office type guys.  They suggested Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons as potential times to drop in.

Still, FuelMix being FuelMix, didn't have any trouble attracting attention.  Net result was that the staff ordered in dinner, shared it with FuelMix, and, together with a very young cute chink twink, got down to the business of servicing FuelMix for dessert and swallowed it all.

So all things considered, not a bad introduction to QQ Fitness.  They aimed to please (well at least FuelMix anyway).

Pros

  • The only gay sauna on Hong Kong Island open 24 hours;
  • Convenient, discreet location, easily walkable from Wanchai MTR.  Located midway between Gateway Sauna and My Way Platinum;
  • Located spitting distance from a "busy" park;
  • Reasonable entry fee - HK$88.00 - probably the cheapest on Hong Kong Island;
  • Discreet crawl-entry porn lounge plays pretty good gay porn;
  • Dark Room Area the only one in Hong Kong that also has wall mounted benches facing the private rooms;
  • Dark Room Area not claustrophobic, has room to move about and is clean;

Cons
  • Unattractive tacky-looking Reception Area;
  • Japanese theme decor not that successful;
  • Wet Area has a cramped, grimy feel to it, although it was reasonably clean;
  • No funky gay dance tracks playing anywhere;
  • Porn is only available in the porn lounge. No sprinkling of porn screens;
  • No mirrors in private rooms;
  • Kneeling down to use the computers - Japanese style - is a drag;
  • Very limited, lousy selection of free snacks;
  • Just a water cooler. No free hot drinks like in other places;
  • Premises do not give off a sexy vibe;
  • Could it be as dead as Action Sauna ? Hard to tell at the moment.

Would FuelMix Go Back?

Regular fascinated readers know that FuelMix has a policy of reviewing a sauna at least twice, to ensure accuracy and fairness.  He also encourages readers who've been to the reviewed saunas at different times to submit their feedback.

So yeah, FuelMix will go back in due course probably on a Friday or Saturday to check out the clientele.

QQ Fitness 2

3/F King Dao Building
14 Burrows Street
Wanchai
Hong Kong 
MTR: Wanchai Station, Exit A3

Tel: 2834 0554 or 2527 7073 
Web: www.geocities.com/qqsauna 
Note:  The only gay sauna on Hong Kong Island open 24 hours

Decor & Layout

1.  Reception Area
The initial impression is odd and underwhelmingThe small Reception area - with a garish pink floral motif on the wall -  is also the TV Lounge and Laundry Room.  That's right fags, if you're not happy squinting at the smallish flat screen TV or the Security Camera footage that captures customers approaching the front door from every which way, settle into one of the vinyl banquettes and strike up a conversation with the Washer AND the Dryer coz they're busily humming.

There's a large choice of Oriental (mainly Taiwanese) gay porn mags and a small choice of free, sad looking crackers in a small tray on the main counter.  No fruits, no choice of drinks, no hot food.  The water cooler is next to the Locker Room.

2.  Locker Room
Sharp left from the Reception Desk, are the Lockers.  Clean and decent sized.  The Locker Room is well lit, with a mirror and vanity counter at one end.

3. Japanese Style "Tatami" Lounge
At one end of the Locker Room is a corridor.  It has a wall-mounted flat screen TV that faces a roomy Japanese Style "Tatami" Lounge.  In other words fags, lie or recline on the floor propped up with cushions.  It's very well lit and since the local chinks are reticent when it comes to public action, expect this place to be a social venue and nothing else.

Note To Fags:  As will soon become apparent, QQ Fitness requires its customers to do a lot of kneeling and lying.  It's the Japanese "theme".

4.  The Toilet
Next to the Japanese Style "Tatami" Lounge is the toilet. Standard stuff and reasonably clean- except that when the door is opened, a disembodied voice says "Hello".

5.  The Wet Area
Adjacent to the Toilet, is the Wet Area.  Pull the door and walk in.  The immediate impression is one of dim, cramped, damp grubbiness.  It's not at all aesthetically pleasing and a bit of a shock.

The Steam Room is to the left.  It's small square and dark.  The steam pressure and heat was adequate but the Steam Room did not give off a sexy vibe.  FuelMix was happy to be out of there.

Next to the Steam Room are the showers - 6 of them in total.  Water pressure is good and there are 2 semi-private alcoves with a plastic curtain in case a fag wants to shower with a buddy or have action.

At the end of the showers is another door that leads straight into the Dry Sauna and the Dark Area.  The Dry Sauna was small, clean and very dark.  It's in the Dark Area remember.

6.  Getting Into The Dark Area
Let's give credit where credit is due.  Having 2 entrances into the Dark Area - one directly from the showers and one directly from the Locker Room is a smart move.  Those fags who have finished playing and are drenched in sweat and cum, can dash str8 into the showers without the full glare and lighting of the Locker Room.

To get into the Dark Area from the Locker Room, look for the string curtains in the doorway next to the vanity counter.

This is fairly roomy even though there are only 4 private rooms with the usual accoutrements of condoms, lube, toilet paper and a trash bin.  Why there are no mirrors in the rooms boggles the mind, coz FuelMix is definitely worth looking at.

There are also vinyl benches along the Dark Room Walls where fags can sit and cruise or get serviced or just sulk.

So far, nothing terribly Japanese in the Dark Area..............

Now this is where it gets really weird...............

At one end of the Dark Area (near the entrance from the Locker Room) is a porn lounge, with a flat screen TV, vinyl floor mats and cushions.  There's a wooden partition THAT COMES DOWN TO ABOUT 2 FEET FROM THE GROUND...... To get into the porn lounge...... THE FAG HAS TO GET DOWN ON ALL FOURS AND CRAWL IN...........DID YOU GET THAT ?? READ IT AGAIN........REGARDLESS OF YOUR HEIGHT, YOU HAVE TO GET DOWN ON ALL FOURS AND CRAWL IN - USING THE LIGHT FROM THE PORN SCREEN TV............ONCE YOU'RE IN THE PORN LOUNGE, YOU CAN'T STAND UP...........YOU GOTTA LIE DOWN, RECLINE OR KEEP KNEELING

The porn that was playing was actually pretty good - raunchy US and Jap porn with lots of screaming.

And it gets better...........

Next to the porn lounge are 3 "Japanese Style" steps that lead to a low-ceiling loft that is either a rest area or a play area.  It's "illuminated" by the light from the porn screen TV coming up through a glass panel in the corner..............YOU CAN'T STAND UP IN THE LOFT EITHER.

The Computer Lounge
Turning Right from the Reception Area is the Computer Lounge with 2 PCs on the floor, a flat screen TV, vinyl mats and cushions.  The Computer Lounge has a full height ceiling.  To use the computers the fag will have to kneel down on the floor.

Comment
The design ethos is "Low End Japanese Restaurant Meets Bath Towel".  Is it bad ? That depends on whether you have back trouble.  Putting aside the comments in really bold print above, the Dark Room area is not that bad and has good potential for group action.  The private rooms and corridors are full height.

The Wet Area is a real disappointment and not a sexy place to be in.  That's a cardinal Gay Sauna Sin.

Hey

Listen up you dumb faggots.  FuelMix knows you're reading the Gay Sauna Reviews and the Gay Sauna Etiquette series like you were cramming for your degree exams.

Get some sense and also read more of the Gay Sauna Underground series highlighted on the Right Hand side of the blog.  There are some real Life Lessons in the Tails From The Drains.  No towel required.

Note:  The only gay sauna on Hong Kong Island open 24 hours


Getting There (Read Carefully.  Bonus included.......)

Take the MTR Island Line to Wanchai Station and take Exit A3.  It comes up facing Johnston Road (the road with the trams running along it).

Cross Johnston Road at the pedestrian crossing and on reaching the other side, face LEFT.

Walk Eastwards along Johnston Road, parallel to the trams. It’s an authentic part of town so there’s always something to see.  There’s no point mentioning the names of the little side streets that intersect with Johnston Road.

Just keep walking until reaching the intersection of Johnston Road and Wanchai Road to your right. 

Now pay attention fag.  At this point, cross Wanchai Road and continue walking straight.  Something interesting just happened.  The trams have gone in another direction because Johnston Road merged with Hennessy Road.  You are now on the continuation of Wanchai Road.

Continue walking Eastwards along Wanchai Road and cross Bullock Lane (Did FuelMix mention that a certain large park on the corner of Bullock Lane and Cross Lane is **ahem** “busy”?.......No ? Oh well).

Having crossed Bullock Lane, continue walking Eastwards along Wanchai Road until you reach the corner of Burrows Street.

Turn RIGHT into Burrows Street.  Number  14 is on your LEFT.  It’s a small little entrance with a single lift.  There is a sign on the Ground Floor advertising QQ Fitness on the 3/F.

Get in the lift and hit 3.  The entrance to QQ Fitness looks like a low-end Japanese Restaurant.  The main door has glass panes that are a one-way mirror.  Get buzzed in.  Pay HK$88.00.

Action Sauna 6

1/F Overseas Building,
417 - 421 Hennessy Road
Causeway Bay
Hong Kong
MTR:  Causeway Bay, Exit B

Telephone: 2893 7027
Note: NOT open 24 hours, except on weekends. Call to confirm opening times

This came in from a reader today.  He went to Action Sauna on a Monday evening..........

I ended up going to Action at around 8pm (yeah bad hours). The front desk was actually over joyed to see me and he told the other guy to come over to see how "lang jai" [handsome – FuelMix] I was... That was flattering yet a bit awkward. 

There were around 3 guys there. Two of them had nice toned bodies. I was just touring the place a little and two of them followed me. I accidentally walked myself into a dark dead end and one of the guys was right behind. He was hot so I just went with it. He brought me to a room and fucked me. He tried many positions and I thought that was a lot of effort for a sauna fuck... ..I enjoyed it hehe.

Then we went to the shower and began talking. I found out that he's only in town for a week, much like me, and he's some sort of hybrid mix of Korean, Russian and Chinese.

I deliberately tried not to cum since it was my first time there and I was trying to reserve myself (lol). It turned out to be a stupid idea since the other guys had all left. I wandered around for a bit and another dude came in. He wasn't much of my type though, average face and body. I tried to walk around and well since I was the only one there it was natural that he followed me. I avoided giving him false hints so I ventured into the dry sauna and then to the internet lounge a bit.

Nobody came around. The staff actually chatted me up so I asked when they're usually free. Apparently it's around 7-9... I stuck around till 10 and decided to leave. The last guy saw me leaving and did the same.

The other staff then tried to persuade me to come again and I thought that was kinda unusual for them to engage in business chat with their clients.

Anyway that was my story. Crowd-wise, I'd just give them the benefits of the doubts since I sort of went at the wrong hours. But I was happy to find a hot guy, who btw was really fond of me... a little too fond for a sauna encounter too...

FuelMix says:  Sad.  If the staff were so chatty, why the hell didn't you ask them when the best days of the weeks are to come by ??  It's outrageous that this place would only have 3 peeps in there on a Monday evening, when other saunas around town would have far more, even if they aren't open 24 hours.

Either that or it's one of those late afternoons / early evening places.  Thanks for the update.  FuelMix is doing his best not to laugh.

It's My Butt, Kid

"The bigger issue is the Castro needs to decide is whether it is a neighbourhood or a theme park"
------C.W. Nevius, The naked truth about nudity in the Castro, SF Gate 21 February 2011

Amen, brother. The notion of describing a fag ghetto as a theme park is courageous and long overdue.

The quote comes from a report that a group of fags in the Castro - predominantly elderly- are publicly wandering around naked as part of some "philosophy" to make the City By The Bay safe for repressed nudists. They take the view that it is somebody else's problem if their wrinkled bare assed urban lifestyle is considered inappropriate or offensive - particularly now that it is clear that the Castro has become a much more mixed neighbourhood with families and kids.  Apparently these old fags think that by wandering around naked, they are doing parents a favour by encouraging them to talk to kids about nudity.  Uh huh....

What's pissing people off is that the fags are getting away with it because of an entrenched code of silenceNobody wants to be the first one to make a fuss.

That's just fuckin' classic. For years ghetto fags bitched about wanting to be accepted by the mainstream.  OK, so mainstream demographic shows up and what do the fags do? They're face sitting on everyone else in a show of fudge packed activism.  Asshole Nazis.

By the way, kids aren't stupid.  An old fag with a wrinkled ass is just that - and a social hazard.  FuelMix suggests they bring one of them to school for Show And Tell.  What's stopping the kids from complaining to the cops?  There's no law that says you have to be a certain age to make a report to the Police.

Love Hotels

A reader sent in this request today (slightly edited for clarity):

Hey FuelMix
I got this buddy and he wants to show me a good time !! Problem is we both are stuck at home and cannot host !!
Despite the wide variety of saunas in HKG, my friend doesn't want to go.  Are there any gay-friendly love hotels or other establishments in this city that you know of?
I love your blog !!
Great work
A gweilo

FuelMix says:

FuelMix has not personally tried the Love Hotels but there are several of them around town.  He hears from GAMs that there are some gay-friendly ones in Kowloon around Jordan - sort of in the Shanghai Street, Temple Street areas.  They are very popular with GAMs who pick up the hot studly Pakistani guys around Jordan, Tsim Sha Tsui and Sham Shui Po.  Approximate cost is HK$200.00 for 2 hours in a small, basic private room with a toilet and shower.

The term "gay-friendly" needs some clarification in relation to these Love Hotels.  They don't go out of their way to advertise to a gay clientele, but they won't turn 2 guys away either.  The ones in Jordan are apparently well used to seeing 2 guys check in.

Here is a list of Love Hotels taken from Time Out Hong Kong, published October 14 - 27, 2009.  Since the info is about a year and a half old, suggest you phone them beforehand and check their rates and policies:

Corinne Hotel -  (bright signs and flowing lights on a 2-storey building) 30 - 32 Cumberland Road, Kowloon Tong  
Tel: 2336 7074

The Eden - (spacious rooms, big beds and special rooms with ceiling mirrors, Jacuzzis) 148 Wellington Street, Central
Tel: 2851 0303

Grampian Mansion - (the closest thing Hong Kong has to an actual motel...looks like a Holiday Inn with ample parking spaces.  Perfect for a little drive-in action) 11 - 11A Grampian Road, Kowloon City
Tel: 2338 9449

Kent Motel - (an old favourite - book for 2 hours or overnight for check ins after 11pm.  Free adult movies play all night long) 20 Kent Road, Kowloon Tong
Tel: 2338 3517

Park Excellent Hotel - (a trusty Wanchai spot with affordable rates for 2 hours - and there's a minibar in every room) 275 Hennessy Road, Wanchai
Tel: 2587 9988

Romantic Hotel - (the most iconic of the Kowloon Tong Love Hotels, this was a hotspot in the 1980s for celebrities and the well-to-do who needed little "down time".  One of the few institutions left as the area turns into a Kindergarten hub) 7 Kent Road, Kowloon Tong  
Tel: 2338 0860

Villa Victoria - (one of the most established hourly hotel chains in Hong Kong, this location is favoured for its proximity to business districts from Central to Causeway Bay (FuelMix says there's also one in Tsim Sha Tsui on Humphrey's Avenue) 209 Lockhart Road, Wanchai   
Tel: 2578 7823

If any reader out there has info on "gay friendly" Love Hotels here in Very Rich Megacity, send it in.

Client Focused

FuelMix wondered why a certain male personal trainer only appeared to have a female clientele.

He received his answer. The gym was crowded.  People were packed closer together than usual.

The trainer was putting a skinny white pussy with a jawline and a wedding band through her paces.  At the end of her set she perched on the bench and spread her legs.  "My husband says he can see results" she crooned.

"So can I" said the trainer in a low voice, stepping into the space between her thighs, his T-shirt brushing against her breasts.  She giggled softly.  He took out his I-Phone and pretending to check the screen, took a picture of her tits.  She giggled again.  He grinned.

"What are we going to do now?" she enquired.

"We need to work on your posture" he said authoritatively, brushing his hand down her back.

" I think we should do my abs and hips" she purred.

" OK, but you'll need to lie down for me to work on you".

"I know" she smiled.

FuelMix groaned in disgust - a little too audibly.  The trainer leered at him in defiance.  The pussy glared and hissed.  "Thanks for the blog material", thought FuelMix, "I've just immortalized hourly-charging sleaze in UnderArmour and track pants".

Her abs and hips workout was a parody. The trainer knelt, crouched, laid next to her to show her the moves and hovered over her.  The pussy heaved and sighed.  The trainer grinned.

At the end of "the session" they lingered at the water cooler giggling, before picking up their stuff and heading out together, rubbing their shoulders and hips against each other.

Memo to pussy:  Make sure the catbox is cleaned before the husband gets home.  Pun intended.

Gay Sauna Etiquette 15

A guy I played with at the sauna gave me his Business Card in the locker room without me asking for it.  I was kinda embarrassed coz I would never think of doing that....anonymous sex and all that.....I gave him my fone number but still felt guilty and uncomfortable.  Should I have given him my Business Card?

No.

Read Gay Sauna Etiquette 14 for how FuelMix deals with fone numbers.

Let's put the thing into perspective.  Your sauna trick was entirely comfortable handing out his Business Card to you.  That's his decision.

Your obligation on receiving his card is:

  • to respect the trust he's given you;
  • to show some fuckin' class;
  • to explicitly enquire whether it is OK to call him at work, when the best time to call is AND what you should say to a Secretary, Receptionist, Colleague who picks up the fone - or any other corporate gatekeeper.
  • to obey Gay Sauna's Golden Rule - what happens there, stays there;
You are NOT obliged to hand over your Business Card in reciprocation.

If you're comfortable handing out your fone number then do it.

You are perfectly entitled to say that you have never handed out your Business Card (and / or a fone number) in the sauna and would prefer to give out an e-mail address (see the script FuelMix used in Gay Sauna Etiquette 14).  Most gay professionals will understand that.  If he storms off in a hissy fit (as happened to FuelMix once) rip up his Business Card.

Gay Sauna Etiquette 14

If my playmate at the sauna gives me his phone number afterwards, am I obliged to reciprocate ?

No - but you'll come across as a total asshole.

Here's how FuelMix handles his sauna fans:

FM's golden rule is only to give out his phone number to people he knows something about AND who have built up a history of credibility.  When he struts into a gay sauna, he ain't gonna give out his fone number. Period.

FM is happy to give out an e-mail address specifically set up for his admirers from the sauna.  Think of it as a Holding Tank, or for the financially minded, a Suspense Account.  Some use it, some don't, some fall away after a while.  Hell, some who  built up credibility graduated to FM's personal e-mail and fone number.  That  ain't easy.

When presented with a sauna fag's number, FuelMix graciously accepts it and says, "I'll be happy to give you my e-mail since in practice, that's the easiest and fastest way of reaching me.  Feel free to use it.  We could meet for drinks or lunch if you're up to it.......In fact, I'd prefer your e-mail instead because I wouldn't want to call you when it was inconvenient".

Easy. Direct.  Non-rejective.  Leaves the door open for the fag.  The smart(er) fag usually gets it.
