Mencircle (formerly Mensexret) founded by Menver Castro, started in webs.com bearing the name Mensexret or Men's Sexual Secrets on September 25, 2010 and moved to blogger on November 2, 2011. Mensexret added a Chatango chatbox on December 17, 2011 and followed the Tokbox live video chat on April 26, 2012. It became popular with its abbreviation MSR on the third quarter of year 2012.
MSR experienced its first blog deletion on January 3, 2012. It became a domain on July 29, 2012 with its new domain address mensexret.net.
MSR held the first event on January 27, 2013, an outing in Anawangin Cove Zambales attended by 10 participants, sponsored by a chatter from Korea named Drei.
