very nice and clean place. way way much much better than those in shanghai,where i came two days ago.150 bucks for entry and free drinks and bananas. they really know how to keep you there. i even saw one guy having noodles there. where did he get it?haha. so funny to see such a scene in a gay sauna.had a great time there on a monday evening. fucked and cummed three times..so much fun..checking other posts about other saunas,but have this feeling no one else is better than this one.considering which one to go tonight......   

FuelMix says: 

Entry price should be HK$130.00. If it's HK$150.00 then it's the most expensive gig in town.

If you check near the drinks machines, there's a little sign on the wall (above the free ice cream cooler) offering customers a free bowl of noodles on weekdays.  On weekends, there's a nominal charge.  Thanks for the update.

If you have any comments on the gay saunas in Shanghai, e-mail the blog and it will be published.

Death Of A Gay Ghetto 3

Vancouver's Dirty Gay Secret And Why No One's Talking 

FuelMix comments on the Reader's Review in Parts 1 and 2:

1.  Let’s start with the obvious.  Here in Very Rich Megacity, finding a fag who’s been to Vancouver is easy. There are flight attendants, businessmen, Asians who lived or studied there and tourists. These guys are right up to date.

Ask them what they think of YVR and they’ll chirp, “Oh it’s really pretty……” and their voice will trail off.  After a little hesitation they’ll say something like, “but….the gay scene is really shitty, totally drugged up. Lots of hype ……”  They’ll shake their heads and change the topic.

From about January 2011, FuelMix was hearing around Very Rich Megacity that the gay saunas in YVR and the miniscule Davie Street scene had taken a nose dive.  Therefore the reader’s review published as Parts 1 and 2, merely articulates what those outside YVR already knew.

2.  The reader identified poor law enforcement, corruption and drug dealing as characteristics of YVR.  Whether that’s true or not, one can say as a general principle that a defining Macro feature, inevitably influences behaviour at a Micro level.

So, in a city with vigorously enforced anti-pollution laws, individuals would adapt their behaviour and raise their standards.  Conversely, in a city with allegedly lousy law enforcement, corruption and drug dealing, individuals would drop their standards to Third World levels.  

By that logic YVR’s gay ghetto is a symptom of crummy societal standards that are so entrenched, they would be hard to change.  In any society and in any gay ghetto so afflicted, there would probably be a clique getting rich by peddling the standards of a Banana Republic.  

3.  What would this clique’s modus operandi look like?
  • Pressure to join or not join a certain group;
  • Forced business compliance;
  • Barriers to entry and competition;
  • Multiple transient businesses – often in the same ownership;
  • An exploitative shallow economy – high prices for mediocrity;
  • Conflicts of interest;
  • Intimidation of potential sponsors via guilt trips;
  • Dubious and illegal financial dealings;
  • Cover ups and destruction of documents;
  • Outrage when caught;
  • Skipping town;
  • Incestuous relationship with gay media;
  • A culture of facilitating and enabling illegality;

4.  Readers can draw their own conclusions as to the veracity of Parts 1 and 2.  YVR’s gay ghetto would not be the only one seemingly operating like a Banana Republic.  FuelMix has previously observed that urban faggotry is a sub-standard global franchise.  What might make YVR’s gay ghetto unique is how such a small - barely 2 blocks - area, can sink to such depths of toxicity.  

5.  We are living in historic times where globally, the Status Quo is imploding.  People are asking, “What the hell is going on here……?” and, “WTF…….??!!”  Polarization of views is everywhere.  People want truth.  Others want to censor it.  Seen in that context, the review in Parts 1 and 2 begins to fit – as does the farcical, obsessive-compulsive gay censorship allegedly going on in YVR.   

6.  As the West spirals into economic misery and austerity (courtesy of fraudulent banksters), and the economic effects are felt globally, expect more gay ghettos to face stark questions about survival:
  • Keep a culture of exploitation, denial and censorship – and die?
  • Create a culture of empowerment, accountability and freedom – and thrive?
Your choice.

Death Of A Gay Ghetto 2

Vancouver's Dirty Gay Secret And Why No One's Talking 

The Big Picture And The Future of Gay YVR

A reader continues with his view of YVR......

YVR touts itself as a World Class City.  Locals point to annual surveys in The Economist claiming that YVR is the Best Place In The World To Live. It isn’t.  It’s a small city on the coast with a small town mentality. Historically, it has a reputation for poor law enforcement, corruption and drug dealing. 

The influx of Asian immigrants – mainly Mainland Chinese and Taiwanese – doesn’t make it an international city. It encourages ethnic cliques.  The influx of Asians inflated the real estate market, triggered consumer inflation and resentment.  Higher prices, urban decay and a boring city, force people who can no longer afford downtown prices, to move further away.  A dirty secret is the number of Vancouverites looking to move out of the city to other countries. 

The gay ghetto sits in the middle of a physically decaying downtown. The majority of gay guys are renters.  They don’t have a high earning capacity.  Many are in low grade employment, holding part time jobs, or are hustling and dealing.  As inflation kicks in, these gay renters cannot survive downtown and must move into East Vancouver (itself not a thrilling area). 

In other words, YVR’s gay ghetto is bleeding off its population.  That creates a vicious cycle that perpetuates the urban decay.  There’s no earning capacity to support the local gay economy.  The homeless and the druggies move in. The neighbourhood spirals further.  The influx of new faces into the Gay Ghetto are naïve pretty boys from little towns in Alberta looking to move to “the big city”.  They get sucked into “the lifestyle”.  Many end up broke, drug-fucked hustlers and dealers. 

Every gay man in YVR knows that the gay ghetto is broken and systemically corrupt. The vicious, petty political feuds would be laughable were it not coupled with embezzlement of funds and a lack of accountability.  How a gay ghetto of 2 dying blocks can spawn a culture of chronic financial rip-offs can only be explained against the larger picture of poor law enforcement, corruption and drug dealing. 

And the culture of gay censorship and code of silence?  It’s collusion by a gay cartel.  Again, it’s laughable……how can you censor a downward spiral that’s already common knowledge? Their answer is to perpetuate a propaganda of denial while hiding behind accusations of homophobia. 

As mentioned in my earlier post, I have over 25 years experience in gay business in YVR.  I have no axe to grind other than to refuse to shut up in the face of institutionalized deceit, decay and drug dealing.  As far as I’m concerned, YVR’s gay ghetto is finished.  Pack up and get the fuck out.  Leave while you’re still alive. 

Thank you for allowing me to express my views on your blog.

FuelMix will make his comments as Part 3.

Death Of A Gay Ghetto 1

Vancouver's Dirty Gay Secret And Why No One's Talking 

About Me

Hello FuelMix

I've been watching your zero bullshit blog for a while.  I'm a GWM who's lived in YVR most of his life.  I've been involved with gay businessess in this city for over 25 years. I've seen people come, go and die.  Now I'm watching YVR's gay ghetto die.  

The culture of lies, deceit, denial, Gay Media coverup and outright Political Correctness has censored rational analysis in this part of the world.  So I'm turning to an Asian gay blog to tell the truth.


Downtown YVR And Gay Davie Street

There's no denying the natural physical beauty of downtown YVR with the sea and the mountains.  That's just a mask hiding an ugly social reality of drugs, homelessness, disease and degeneration.  One is not supposed to point that out.  Just point to the mountains, the sea and Stanley Park.  Tell everybody we live in the Best Place In the World and smile constantly.  But downtown YVR - generally Davie Street, Denman Street and Robson Street  has been in decline for years with a large number of vacancies.  It's obvious for everyone to see.  


Davie Street in particular, the main artery for the 2 blocks of Gay Ghetto, is in terminal decline.  The druggies and the homeless litter the street.  Nobody says anything, nobody does anything.

The gay shops and bars on Davie Street are low grade and have a high failure rate.  They are interspersed with fast food franchises and boarded up shops. The gay politicos think that Davie Street is a mecca for foreign visiting gay men.  Gay foreigners do swing by as tourists, gasp in disgust and disbelief, ask "is that all there is....?" and never return.


The Gay Clubs And The Gay Bars


The gay bar scene is limited to Davie. There are no gay bars on Denman anymore.  The gay bars on Davie are dead or barely existing.  They're not bringing in the crowds.  You don't have to wait in line anymore. 

Same goes for the Clubs.  2 gay promoters are maintaining a stranglehold on local club events.  They've been doing it for years, bad mouthing any opposition. The joke is the customers are getting tired of it and attendance is falling off (but they would never admit that).  It's pretty obvious that the same clique of small-town Alberta DJs are doing the rounds.  Who the hell wants to pay for that.....?



Gay Ski Week Whistler

Despite the hype, that's been a bust. The reports from those who went to Whistler, made it clear that people were only staying in that locality.  YVR wasn't considered central to anything other than a place in which to arrive and depart.  50 bucks for a jaded Pool Party ?  And that doesn't include the price of the party favours. 

Having seen some of the pictures, the crowd was not inspiring and the ambience felt like a high school dance.  The lack of sophistication in a so-called premier gay event  in Whistler wasn't cutting it with visitors. Several commented to me that gay YVR and gay Whistler lacked any excitement.   Yet again, the same little clique of small-town Alberta and Vancouver Island  DJs and worn out drag queens were trucked up to Whistler to Emcee yet another Mr Gay this-or-that contest and party with the same fools you'd find in YVR.

And don't forget the same 5 fags sharing a double-occupancy room in Whistler..........


The Gay Saunas  in YVR

The so-called flagship sauna is Steamworks.  It's well known in YVR that Steamworks attracts the hustlers, the homeless and has a history of customers overdosing. Its standards of hygiene and management have fallen badly.  Their steam room and dry sauna have been down for weeks.  There have been a string of complaints online about this place for months particularly on Squirt.  But surprise, surprise.........it all gets censored minutes later. 

Another "raunchier" sauna, M2M has been in a chronic state of disrepair for months.

Meanwhile, up the road on Davie Street, F212, that was struggling with it customer numbers appears to have made a comeback by default.  Nothing's changed there. Just progressively uglier looking pretty boys overdosing.


The Gay Drug Scene In YVR

YVR's gay drug scene is internationally notorious and getting worse.  For years it was weed, amphetamines, cocaine and crystal meth. Now, GHB is big in the gay saunas. 


Surprisingly, heroin is making a comeback amongst the str8s.  But hey......give it time and gay boys will be all over that too.  For such a small gay "community", the drug use can only be described in one word.......rampant.

In Part 2, I will give my views on the big picture and the future of gay YVR.

Rainbow Sauna 1

14th Floor, K K Centre
46 - 54 Temple Street
Yau Ma Tei
Kowloon
Hong Kong
MTR: Yau Ma Tei Station, Exit C 1

Note: Open 24 hours
Pricing varies depending on length of stay

Tel: 2385 6652
Web: Rainbow Sauna

Received from a reader: 

This place is fucking massive! I think it either 4 or 5 floors making it one of the biggest saunas I have ever visited. It is showing a lot of wear and tear in the more well-lit areas and the wet area needs an urgent overhaul as it has kind of a third-world hospital vibe to it.


This was definitely the friendliest place I have visited in Hong Kong. There was a very pleasing absence of posing and aloofness and I had a few conversations with other customers who were trying to work out my ethnicity (I am Eurasian). The downside is that unless your tastes run exclusively and enthusiastically towards chubs and bears you will leave unsatisfied despite the presence of some slimmer geek office worker types.

There were a lot of Mainlanders there so I am presuming that they must direct their advertising to Chinese publications as they are barely mentioned in Dim Sum magazine. There was only one GWM there when I visited and he was a morbidly obese American.

Because of its massive scale this place has so much potential. They need to lose the chubs/bears door policy and start welcoming all as most of the place was thinly populated - even the room that is set up like an MTR carriage! Then they can get some decent renovations done and clean the place up.

They really need to convert the main theaterette where they were screening a movie into an action room with some nice Jap porn playing at full volume. Nicholas Tse is hot but no one to jerk off when their watching that Shaolin movie. It is the perfect location as Temple St is always jumping.

FuelMix says:

Well……….Rainbow has never hidden the fact that it’s for bears and chubs and their admirers (the latter explains the slimmer geek office types you saw there).  Check out their website.

As for needing an overhaul, that’s not likely to happen any time soon.  Come to think of it, Temple Street needs an overhaul too.  Curiously, FuelMix received an e-mail today from another reader reporting that he had read online stuff alleging that Rainbow had fleas and was losing its crowd.

Get used to the Mainlanders in Very Rich Megacity.  No doubt you are aware of local allegations that they are akin to an infestation of locusts.

You actually look at Dim Sum magazine…….??  FuelMix must be missing something here.  Last time he checked, there was nothing to see and even less to read……

Alexander Sauna 17

1st Floor, Wing Cheong Building
404 Reclamation Street
Mong Kok
Kowloon
Hong Kong
MTR: Mong Kok Station, Exit E 1 

Open 24 hours
Tel: 2148 0400 


Received from a reader:   

Generally quite busy in the afternoons and evening on weekdays and especially on Saturdays and Sundays. This is probably the one of the best equipped saunas in Hong Kong with sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, dark areas and a lounge area for those who have given up and want to catch up on Chinese soap operas.

The clientele is 98% GAM, though on each visit there has been around 1-2 GWM (usually Europeans aged 45 to 50) and on a couple of occasions a GBM, who was very hot and had a herd of twinks following him around like puppies.

This is probably the most comfortable and deluxe sauna in Hong Kong and they provide water, soft drinks, snacks, condoms, lube and as many towels as you need. But then again so they should at $130 a visit. Lots of moaning coming from the steam room and the wet area in general is a great place to cruise and check out some spectacular GAM butts usually attached to not-very-attractive heads.

Depending on the time you visit and the customers they have at that time there can be more blow-drying at the vanity mirror than blow-jobbing in the dark area.

FuelMix says:

Aye.

Club Houzz Sauna 12

4/F Canton Plaza
1125 – 1127 Canton Road
Mong Kok
Kowloon
Hong Kong
MTR:  Mong Kok Station, Exit A 2

Tel: 3484 2770

NOT open 24 hours;
Open daily from 3pm to 3am
Nude Nite after 8pm 


Received from a reader: 

Very good addition to the sauna spectrum with really thoughtful touches like the heated floor, losing the towels and locking the cabins to encourage group action after 8PM, free drinks etc. I went on Friday 4th, 2012 and the place was very busy and after 8PM there were areas of the dark area absolutely heaving with guys. There were only a few really cute guys who always seemed to waiting just outside the dark areas and checking their phones possibly to see if their girlfriends were trying to contact them. Which must make some women question why so many Park N Shops play Madonna remixes so loud and so often.

You only need a couple of party guys to get these place going and this Friday there was one really well hung guy GAM who got the ball rolling by jerking in front of the main TV then moving to the dark area where he offered his butt up to all comers. Have you noticed in group scenes there is always some crusty old troll who appoints himself ringmaster and ball-stroker-in-chief and gets hissy when anyone else tries to come into the cabin? Fucking hilarious.

The proprietors are smart operators and have been offering 2 for one passes and discount passes to build up their client base. Their location is ideal for people concerned about keeping it on the down low as the area is mostly deserted and there are no rainbow flags giving the game away.

FuelMix says:

Yep……….Friday Nite seems to be the time to go to Club Houzz.  According to the locker count, the maximum number the place can hold is 54. But for some reason on a Friday Nite there just SEEMS to be much more than that.

One of word of caution though.  Agreed that the proprietors are smart operators, but the reality is that Club Houzz can be deserted on other days of the week.  The only other time that there seems to be a crowd is early Sunday afternoon.

Kinda reminds FuelMix of the now defunct Towel Club which similarly had a lopsided surge on one day of the week and dead pretty much the rest of the time.  Towel Club did not open 24/7 and neither does Club Houzz.  Still, we wish Club Houzz all the best.  It's hands down the best location and the best designed.  It deserves a lot more support.

Opening Hours: 11am - 11pm
Note:  Nude Sauna  

Received from a reader:

Friendly dude at reception. I love the idea of nude saunas but they don't really work when most of the clientele wander around with their hands cupped over their genitals and take pains to apologise every time these brush past you.

Strangely, one of the best features of this place is that it isn't massive. You can pretty much make an assessment of who is hot in about 5 minutes which means no wasted time. But if there is no one halfway decent looking you kind of wonder why you bothered as they have TVB on the TV and only Chinese-language gossip mags to read.

I asked the friendly owner if he had many Indian/Paki/Desi boys in but he said only occasionally. He said maybe to try Rainbow Sauna but I didn't see any there either. Does anyone know the best place for finding hotties from the subcontinent? I have had some of my best sexual experiences with Indian, Paki, Islander and Maori guys.

FuelMix says:

Take heart.  More and more Indian and Pakistani guys, particularly professionals from the UK working in Central, are flooding into Very Rich Megacity and showing up at the gay saunas.  FuelMix noticed this trend over 2 years ago at the now defunct Towel Club which, on Saturday afternoons, attracted some gorgeous brown guys speaking perfect English.

UK Indian and Pakistani guys have also been spotted at Central Escalator (it provides a convenient break from the office) and sometimes at Alexander.

As for Maori guys, forget it.
