r/kSpa

Who has the better scrub/massage? I’m headed there later this week.

Every single time I go to a Kspa now, I’m constant followed by dudes trying to cruise, walk into a sauna full dude jerking of, or get groped by some dude while I’m literally sitting there with my eyes closed. Kspas are not gay bathhouses. They’re family friendly, nonsexual spaces that happen to involve nudity. If you can’t handle seeing naked men without acting inappropriately, don’t come. There’s literally gay bathhouses for that. I have no problem with gay men coming to kspas, or even if I see a dude taking a glance at me or another dude. But beyond that it’s not appropriate for these venues.

No work today! Might hit the spa- any buddies want to link up?

Do you guys prefer going to kspas by yourself to relax or do you prefer chilling with a group of guys? I’ve always gone alone or with female friends (to hang out in the coed area) but have never gone with male friends to hang out naked. What are your thoughts?

I'll be heading to Athens, GA in August. My main KSpa experience is Island (Edison, NJ), which has been very positive. I went to Spa Light in RI once and was underwhelmed with the facilities. Based on what I've read, Spa Land (GA) seems like it give me something similar to my Island experience. Does this seem like the right choice in GA?

Staff was very friendly, entrance and lobby very clean and inviting. Locker rooms were clean as well
Went on a Thursday. Not too crowded. Spa area felt a little dated. Going to try Gangnam next. Has anyone been?

For people who have gone to the Houston and Dallas spas, how do you rank them? I know that Spa Castle reopens this weekend, but before the renovation how which one was the best and worst? (Specifically: King Spa, Spa Castle, Gangnam, Spa World, Kings Spa)

Hey everyone in LA, I finally decided to go to a KSpa. Since its my first time I wanted to know what is better for starters Wi or Centry.

I am 36, definitely not comfortable with public nudity, and I finally went to my first Korean spa this morning. Granted, it was about 6:30 a.m., and I was nervous as hell, but I did it. It was Wi Spa.

Pretty sure the hardest part was getting completely naked and then not knowing where to go after that. Once I got to the shower, I knew I was good. I love how they make it nearly impossible to cover up with those tiny towels. Who is anyone kidding, lol? But that was a long walk from the lockers to the showers.
I think I want to try it again, but maybe during a slightly busier session. There were only about five people in the wet area when I went. One person looked about my age, and the others were slightly older.

UPDATE:

So I ended up going to Century Spa as well around 11 a.m. today. The layout was different and relaxing in its own way. I found myself mostly upstairs going between the hot tubs.

The funny thing was that I walked in naked, and as more people showed up, everyone seemed to walk around with a towel wrapped around themselves, so I ended up covering up too. Not sure if that is the norm there. I was even in the steam room completely naked, and two people walked in and sat down with their towels wrapped around them. It was a little weird, but I would still go back to both.

P.S. Why was I the only guy my age with a bush???? 🤣

Can anyone enlighten me about the body scrub at Jeju near Atlanta? I'm planning on going there next Tuesday or Wednesday and I want to know what to expect. I'm a first timer. Thanks.

My wife and I finally tried Jeju Spa for our 10-year anniversary, and we had a great time.

We enjoyed the massage, deep tissue, foot massage, sauna rooms, food, and the overall spa experience. We easily spent six hours there and didn’t even realize it.

My wife was too shy to try the nude wet area or body scrub, but she is open to going again, which is a big first step. Coming from a traditional Indian background, she's still reluctant around nudism, so this was significant.

We’re planning to visit again on July 10th. If any respectful couples are going and want to say hi, feel free to message me.

Couples only please. Not looking for anything sexual or lifestyle-related, just spa/nudist-friendly friends.

Gonna head up early afternoon- think it’ll be slammed? Anyone goin?

Or is any clothing optional?

Is the better option to go to Wi Spa or Century spa at like 11a-12pm to get my feet wet? I heard ppl at Century walk around in towels as opposed to naked. I wanted to challenge myself so I’m not sure what’s best.

Hi everyone,
I’m a 21-year-old guy (M21) thinking about going to a Korean spa (K-spa) for the first time somewhere in Northern Virginia, and I have absolutely no idea what to expect. I’ve never been to one before, so I have a bunch of questions.

Which K-spa in NOVA would you recommend for a first-timer?

What is the overall experience like from the moment you walk in?

How long do most people stay?

Is there anything I should bring besides toiletries?

Are there any etiquette rules or things first-timers usually don’t know?

I’m also curious about the massage side of things.
Which massages are actually worth getting?

What are the massages like? Are they more relaxing or more intense?

Do you stay completely nude during the massage, or are you draped with a towel or sheet?

Are the massage therapists clothed? (Probably a dumb question, but I genuinely don’t know how it works.)

If you’re in a gender-segregated area and everyone is nude, how awkward does it feel at first?

One question I’m a little embarrassed to ask, but I’d rather know ahead of time: if someone accidentally gets an erection during a massage or while relaxing in the spa, what generally happens? I know it’s an involuntary physical reaction sometimes, and I don’t want to accidentally violate any etiquette or make anyone uncomfortable if that were to happen.
Any other tips, recommendations, or “I wish I knew this before my first visit” advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you've been to both, which one is better? What makes one better than the other?

Been to spa world and love it. Want to try gangnam but don't want to be disappointed since I enjoyed spa world.

Favorite thing about spa world is the wet area and the ocher clay ball room.

Any str8 married bros enjoy kspas? Would love to chat and be buds. Send dm and tell me toy saw this post and let’s chat!

Spent half the day at Island today. Very light crowd on the men’s side from opening to the time I left… Haven’t paid/opted for a scrub in many months. Same guy scrubbing (keep forgetting to ask his name) but today’s scrub…chef’s kiss. Something about it today. They can feel a little brutal, rough, sometimes jerking my arm back or my leg on my side when I just can’t seem to coordinate my body layout how he wants it lol (pls tell me I’m not the only one haha) but today was not that. Yeah, it’s a scrub not a massage, but it wasn’t…impersonal. Don’t want this to sound asshole-ish, but it felt a little kinder? I was his second scrub of the morning not sure if that plays into it but it was just fucking great.
Oh, and that new steam output is no fucking joke… intense!! :) great!! I needed all of that 4.5hrs today before going to work.
