There are a gazillion types of happy endings in the world but probably two ways that most people are familiar with the term: either as a good end to a story/event/day or a sexual end to a massage. Thanks to digging around a few magazines and web sites, I’ve compiled a short but hopefully either helpful or entertaining list of happy ending-related links such as where to find them in New York, how to decode them and a bar with an interesting history (for those who don’t actually want a happy ending massage but kinda want to bask in the aura of a place that used to be a happy ending massage parlor in the pre-Guiliani days). Also, a few links to columns I’ve written on the topic… all after the jump.
1. Happy Ending Lounge in NYC – you won’t really find any sexual happy endings here unless, I suppose, you go home and get one from your significant other or someone you meet at the bar. Rather this lounge’s name references the fact that it used to be a happy ending massage parlor in its pre-Guiliani crackdown days.
2. Okay, many of us have heard about men getting happy endings to the point where it can sometimes be a little boring. But a woman getting a happy ending? Check out this recent article from Time Out New York’s Sex Issue.
3. The topic of happy ending massages has come up in several of my In&Out columns for Time Out Chicago such as here and here and here.
4. Wondering where to find one in NYC? Okie-doke. Here is one site’s pick of the "best handjobs in NYC".
