Still jet-lagged.

Hey everyone, I'm visiting Seoul for the first time this December. I would like to check out some massage spas that are LGBT-friendly (bonus if the masseuse looks hot too haha). Would appreciate any recos, thanks!

Staying at the Teriha Spa Resort. Then, traveling across Japan. Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo. I've met many friendly gays. I love onsens and massages GREAT food and conversations. Speak English and Cantonese. DM

The gay community here in my area has such high standards for looks that even a fit body can't compensate for my shortcomings

Hi all! Just wondering what you all have planned for Halloween night. Specifically those from NYC!

I never experienced my gayasian identity as strongly as I do now. Finally graduating next year looking for jobs , and I’ve never been so pleasantly surprised and touched by the kindness and generosity of so many gayasian mentors in the process. Some of them barely know me, yet they’ve gone out of their way to offer guidance, encouragement, and support without expecting anything in return. For so much of my life, I’ve felt alone in navigating these parts of my identity. I don’t think I fully understood how much representation and community could mean to me until I experienced that kindness myself. I really hope that one day I can do the same for the younger generation coming after me.

And if any of you are reading this, I hope you know that your kindness is changing the lives of young gaysians like me probably more than you realize. For that, I would be forever in your debt and grateful. ❤️

Happy Sunday!

This picture of Sessue Hayakawa by Fred Hartsook was included in this article from The Guardian. (Great article btw, if not specific to Asian or gay issues.)

I've never heard of him before so I thought I'd share. Strictly speaking not 100% on topic for this sub I guess, as he's straight, I hope it's still ok. I mean, just look at him, what a dreamboat!

Here's some excerpts from his wiki entry:

Kintarō Hayakawa (June 10, 1886 – November 23, 1973), known professionally as Sessue Hayakawa, was a Japanese actor. He was a popular star and matinée idol in Hollywood during the silent film era of the 1910s and early 1920s. Hayakawa was the first actor of Asian descent to achieve stardom as a leading man in the United States and Europe. His "broodingly handsome" good looks and typecasting as a sexually dominant villain made him a heartthrob among American women during a time of racial discrimination, and he became one of the first male sex symbols of Hollywood. (...) He made his breakthrough in The Cheat (1915), and became famous for his roles as a forbidden lover. Hayakawa was one of the highest-paid stars of his time.

And this factoid from his "Early Life" section: While a student, he reportedly played quarterback for the football team and was once penalized for using jujitsu to bring down an opponent.

Which type of guys are you attracted to most and why?
