It could be an unhappy ending for a seedy all-male massage parlor that officials say openly offers hands-on sexual satisfaction.
The city is suing to close down 28 Men’s Spa on the West Side, claiming in court documents filed Wednesday that the spa’s roster of masseurs offered “manual stimulation of the penis” to three undercover cops during separate incidents last summer.
The spa, which goes by M&J Men’s Spa and advertises on social media with pictures of shirtless muscular men, is referenced on websites for gay men seeking “happy endings.”
But a worker told The Post that the city’s claims were “disgusting.”
And spa manager Ping Du said in a brief phone interview that the spa didn’t sell rub-and-tugs for cash but was a “regular massage” parlor.
Du said he he took over the spa at 45 West 28th St. this past April and confirmed all of their massage therapists and customers are men but he denied any illicit behavior.
“We don’t do that here,” Du said.
While Du may have taken over in April, the city’s lawsuit claims that three undercover NYPD officers in June and July were offered happy endings inside the spa.
By using the city’s nuisance abatement statute — which helped clear out the notorious porno theaters of Times Square years ago — the suit also takes aim at the building owner, whom they claim should have had some idea that one of their tenants practiced the world’s oldest profession.
That means the spa and the landlord could be fined $1,000 per day for every day of illegal activity, according to court papers, while the spa also faces closure for a year.
Two workers agreed to offer sex acts — “manual stimulation of his penis,” the complaint reads — for around $80, while a third offered the service for $180, according to the suit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
