Would Real (Gay) Men Cuddle ?

They've been around for a while now - Cuddle Parties.  They have Rules:  a pyjama dress code, no alcohol and drugs; no fashionably latecomers, the absolute right to decline a cuddle invitation, no sex and Certified Cuddle Party Facilitators.

FuelMix has also seen ads for Gay Cuddle Parties but wasn't able to find hardcore follow up comments about them. Did anyone show up?  Did they just degenerate into a fuck-fest?  Did fags throw hissy fits when the hottie they wanted to cuddle said "No thanks" ? Was it just a bunch of socially rejected Poz fags or gay sauna losers seeking tactile commiseration?

In principle, FuelMix likes the idea of exploring All-Male Intimacy - so long as it doesn't turn into a gabfest where your cuddle partner is vomiting all his emotional baggage and asking for Kleenex to blow his nose and wipe his tears.

FuelMix thinks that a more silent, slightly quasi-sexual All-Male Intimate encounter, where kissing, stroking and nibbling are allowed might even be healthy.  The Rules seem about right - although FuelMix doesn't like the strict pyjama dress code.  For gay men, the option of going shirtless should be given as well as the option to wear boxer shorts, briefs and jockstraps?  Too sexy?  Too risque?

Strictly no fetish wear though. (FuelMix is not into cuddling a shirtless dude in boxer shorts and a gas mask).

So what does the inside of a Cuddle Party look like?  Check out this video from BoingBoing entitled "Inside A Cuddle Party"........Hugs, squeezes, kisses, nuzzling, back massages, neck rubs, stroking..........all good...............

Why they would advertise it with a guy sucking on a woman's toes defies belief.

SHRIMPING ??!!  OMG...........isn't THAT a sexual activity ??!!  Your not so humble blogger is now truly confused -  but curiously excited.

Action Sauna 7

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 

Well fags, since it's not gonna be believed coming from anybody else, it might as well be swallowed from FuelMix.  Showing up at Action Sauna on a Wednesday evening just after 5:30 pm, FuelMix was initially dismayed to note that (counting himself), there were only 3 people there.

Then the place started filling up - fast.  A couple of hours later, FuelMix counted 38 people.  Most were office chinks in their 20s and 30s plus 5 whites, 1 Korean, 2 niggas and some Eurasians.

Niggas should think twice before heading to Action Sauna.........this place has black lockers, black floors, black walls and THE blackest Dark Room area.  Putting a nigga in that Dark Room is an accident waiting to happen.  Sure enough, some chink crashed into a nigga propped up against a partition in a really dark alcove and a ceiling panel fell onto the heads of chinks on the other side of it. There was much squealing.

And speaking of squealing, the 3 staff on duty were totally Fem - so Fem that they referred to each other as "mui mui" (Cantonese for "little sister").  One of them was really into the art of customer service and if you were hot **ahem** then each time the towel was surrendered to him in order to enter the Dark Area, he'd suck cock for a few seconds.  Same deal on the way out when retrieving the towel.

Was the crowd hot?  Not really.  FuelMix was surprised to see just how many showed up.  There were some dregs from the now defunct Towel Club and a few from Alexander.  Overall they were pretty average and certainly not the muscleguys  that Towel Club would attract or that Alexander is capable of attracting. 

FuelMix hears that Thursday evenings and weekends are rumored to attract a muscular crowd at Action Sauna.  If a reader has  first hand experience of this, write to the blog.

Fiscal Drag

Definition:  when inflation and higher earnings pull a person into a higher progressive tax bracket. From the government’s point of view, it increases tax revenues.

…….except that ain’t the tax drag that FuelMix is writing about…….

In Karachi, Pakistan, tax revenues have slumped so badly that lateral thinking kicked in.  The local government hired Drag Queens to show up at the premises of delinquent tax payers with the object of embarrassing them into coughing up the cash.  CNN reported this on 15 April 2011 in the story, Pakistan's tribe of "transgender" tax collectors.

The Drag Queens carry official government ID and strut right into the unsuspecting delinquent’s home or office.  They then break into a flamboyant lecture or a song and dance routine, all with the intent of attracting maximum attention to the hapless delinquent.  It also serves as a warning to anyone else who catches the flaming tirade, that they could be next.

FuelMix thinks this is a great idea.  A tad suicidal, but still a great idea.  Think about it.  In urban faggotry, Drag Queens have raised money for years in charity benefits held at gay bars and clubs. Why shouldn’t they be used as tax collectors?  The transition from requesting donations to demanding payment is utterly seamless for a Drag Queen whose stage persona is all about being in your face.

As Western countries inexorably go bankrupt while inflation and tax rates hike, Drag Queens might be the only ones who can say, “Show me the money”.

(So why Malaysia is sending Fem boys to "anti-gay" boot camp when they could be trained as future government employees, boggles FuelMix's pretty, but masculine, head).

Easy way to find it: above 7 Eleven and opposite Park N Shop supermarket.

This came in from a reader yesterday:

Since I am an ex happy customer of the late Towel Club, I checked a few saunas. I am GWM..
Today, Central Escalator, which was a total shock, how can anyone suggest this place at all!?

Just some comments about CE:

- tiny space with about 4 private rooms ONLY
- those rooms cannot be locked properly, while fucking inside others can open the door from outside
- partition walls seem to be very instable
- in the rooms there is no paper, no condom and no lube
- extra towels are charged HK$5
- luckily I invited a date, the clientele is really bad
- on 2 of bout 5 TVs you can watch a cooking show

What the hell is this shit hole!? Extremely SUB-STANDARD....

Can anyone shut it down and get the old Towel Club back? haha...

Thanks!

FuelMix says:  

It's unfair to refer to the place as a "shithole".  That honour is currently taken by Galaxy.

For the record, FuelMix did not recommend the place in his previous post, Central Escalator 8.  He suggested the venue in response to a reader's very specific query.

The clientele varies depending on when you dropped in.  Agree that there can be some Fuglies - especially white ones.  Some of the tourists can be OK though.  Some may even be muscular - although it's been sometime since FuelMix saw any there - probably because he doesn't go there much.

You're right about the private rooms .  It's the main reason FuelMix doesn't like going there - PLUS the generally cramped feel of the premises.  Suggest you read all of FuelMix's reviews of CE, particularly Central Escalator 4 and Central Escalator 7.

The place has a loyal professional clientele because of its Central location.

Although CE is not on FuelMix's "A" List, he does respect the place and the management.  It is the longest running sauna in town and the staff are the friendliest in town.  To have lasted as long as they have, means that they're doing something right.

That being said, there are other saunas around town.

Memo To Fags 12

To: Fags
From:  FuelMix

It's right for you to shower after each guy you've played with in the sauna - but you don't have to gel your hair each time afterwards.

That's just kinda........desperate.

ABC Sauna 9

6/F Cheong Hing Building, 

72 Nathan Road, 

Tsim Sha Tsui, 

Kowloon, Hong Kong
MTR: Tsim Sha Tsui

Tel: 2301 - 4500

What's this........??  Semi-drenched in a thunderstorm on a Sunday afternoon, FuelMix sought shelter in ABC and discovered the place was..............hopping..........and packed !!

GAMs in their 20s and 30s, some pretty muscular, white tourists of all ages (1 or 2 almost decent-looking), a few hot brown guys, a few Malaysians and Singaporeans, Mainland Chinese GAMs, nice looking Taiwanese guys, ugly Filipinos and a couple of Japs.

Everyone grinning and nodding at each other..........FuelMix got cruised twice while changing and a departing GAM who spied FuelMix undressing, slipped a fone number in FuelMix's underwear "for next time"..........huh? .....wha...??  No shortage of propositions and compliments. FuelMix got really good action in the rooms and in the Steam Room.

Afterwards, another muscular GAM cuddled FuelMix in the TV lounge as FuelMix munched the obligatory free bananas while hearing others make scathing criticisms of Double Sauna.  They alleged the place was over-hyped, allowed free entry to a certain "clique", ran an hypocritical and racist entry policy.  (Apparently the same guy who let them enter the first time, refused to let them in the 2nd and 3rd times claiming "membership was full").

Could it be that ABC is actually coming to life..........???  See also ABC Sauna 8.

This from a reader: 

Dear FuelMix

I’m a GWM in my 30s.  A few years ago my right leg was amputated below the knee and I wear a prosthetic leg.  I’m in good shape. I play sports and go to the gym.  I will be visiting Hong Kong and would like to know which gay sauna I could go to.  I like guys of all types and I can perform sexually but wonder if someone like me would be too hard to handle.

Could you make a recommendation or should I forget going to a sauna in Hong Kong?


FuelMix says: 

Since mobility isn't an issue, getting around town on the MTR subway should be a cinch.

There are 2 gay saunas you could consider: Central Escalator in SoHo, Hong Kong Island; and Alexander in Mong Kok on Kowloon side. Both have been extensively reviewed in the blog. Click on the links to read more.  Both attract a varied clientele. 

On balance, Central Escalator or "CE" as everyone here calls it, would be better suited to you:

• Gets guys from everywhere - locals, expatriates, foreigners, tourists; Some may be hot, some may be Fuglies;
• Staff there speak excellent English and there's lots of interaction between the staff and the customers;
• The customers there are pretty chatty too and likely to be more open-minded than the chink-infested looking-for-perfection places which FuelMix won't bother to name;
• Minimal attitude - since the space is so fuckin' small, it's hard to run and hide;
• Free snacks;
• Compact space (some would say "dinky");
• Once you're seen to be socially interacting, your chances of scoring sexually would probably increase;

Your physical state is no different to those carrying surgical scars or somebody wearing a leg brace - both of which FuelMix has seen in gay saunas around here.  It is what it is.  Provided you don't come across as a complete asshole there's no reason why anyone would get turned off, especially if the rest of you is in good shape.

Are you guaranteed to get action there? No.  A gay sauna is a casino.  You pay your money.  You take your chances like everyone else.

3 further points:

(1)  Sometimes CE has "Small Towel" Days.  It tends to attract hotter guys.  Call beforehand to find out when.  If clutching a small washcloth-sized towel might cause you embarrassment, you can always request a standard sized towel.  

(2)  CE is on the 2nd floor of Cheung Hing Commercial Building.  The steps are a tad steep, but you can also take the elevator.

(3)  Suggest you also read the posts for Alexander Sauna.

No website that FuelMix knows of

FuelMix has been hearing from GAMs that Mainland Chinese moneyboys are running a mugging syndicate in Galaxy's premises.

It works like this:

The moneyboy cruises an unsuspecting fag (usually a skinny twink or an older guy), they go into a private room.  Just before the door closes, another 2 or 3 of the moneyboy's accomplices barge into the room and threaten the fag.. A knife may be pulled and the fag is forced to hand over his locker key.


One of the accomplices leaves the room, opens the fag's locker and his  wallet, specifically looking for the fag's bank ATM card and his ID card.  He returns the key to the fag, while slipping the fag's ATM card to the second accomplice.  The second accomplice gets dressed,  pays at the counter (in Galaxy a customer pays as he exits not when he enters) and leaves the premises, waiting somewhere nearby outside the building.


The terrified fag is  further threatened by the original moneyboy and the remaining accomplice into keeping his mouth shut, getting dressed together in the locker room and leaving the premises together.


Once outside the building, they meet up with the 3rd accomplice who shows the fag his bank ATM card and demands that he withdraw cash now from the nearest branch.  The fag withdraws cash at the stimpulated amount and the 3 hustlers split in different directions.

What's this that FuelMix is hearing from pissed off GAMs while sitting at the University of Fag Bar (pending accreditation)?.......It appears that Double is pulling another one of its stunts.............offering discounts on the web.........but then the discount magically disappears on showing up there.

Anyone who can confirm this one way or the other,  or has any other comments about this place that fags in general should know about, can e-mail the blog.
