European Men and Destinations

I really thought the fun was over, and after a few fails, thought my luck had run out, but it hasn’t. Every day a new guy contacts me on Grindr, and yesterday, one of the ones who had contacted me early on finally came over after several days of messages that went nowhere. This guy turned out to be a really nice surprise. He initially sent a face pic and a full body pic. He was 29, not particularly good-looking, but had an interesting face that kind of reflected the mixed heritage of people in this part of Italy. He looked southern Italian, but you could see traces of Arab and Greek ancestry. He was dark and hairy. He had a nice thin, naturally muscled body and …

Well, I’ve been pretty lucky here in Reggio and surprised at the number of hot guys I’ve met and how many have contacted me - from as far away as Malta! But today was not a good experience. I know we all like to share our victories here, but I do think there is value in sharing our failures as well. I’ve definitely learned from this experience. A few days ago a guy contacted me on Grindr. He sent a photo from mid-belly down of a very nice looking cock oozing cum. He was thick and his belly was hairy. My mind filled in the rest (lesson 1 learned - don’t depend on your fantasy). We messaged a bit on Grindr and then he asked if I had Telegram. We switched. I had told hi…

I was thinking maybe I got a false impression of this place after the initial flood of Grindr messages and my incredible luck at having a hot Argentine neighbor who liked to get his dick sucked. I started looking at the messages I hadn’t deleted and did some more weeding out which reduced the number considerably, but still, I continued to get new people contacting me every day. The problem, as those who use Grindr will understand, is that guys play games. I had one guy message me who sent a photo of a nice cock. As I was responding to him, my WiFi froze and the message sat there “sending…” for about a minute. In that time, he blocked me. I have a backup Grindr accou…

I’m back in Italy for a month. After my trip last year to Bari, where I didn’t have as much fun as I’d hoped, I had low expectations. I don’t know why, but so far, it looks like I’m going to be very busy here. I’m using Grindr to meet people, and as soon as I landed my phone started blowing up. I am getting a full range of men contacting me - young (early 20s) to hot daddy types. While not all of them are my type and not all match what I’m looking for, I just counted the profiles I haven’t deleted (because I am interested) and there are 40 prospects waiting for me to connect with, and some of them are very hot. The first (and so far only) guy I met is an adorabl…

Based on the experience of people in here, which gay sauna in Paris has a higher number of twinks, especially Asian twinks in Paris? I know the two biggest are IDM and Sun City.

London Gay Saunas Pleasuredome | 124 Cornwall Road | 020 7633 9194 | http://www.pleasuredrome.com/my-website They made no mistake when they named this place; it's all about pleasure here, and not just the feeling you get from a good turn in the steam room. There are dark rooms, a labyrinth, and a bar that serves booze 24/7. It's big with visitors to London.

Hey guys! I've gotten so much useful advice here, this is my attempt to give back a little. This might not be the most useful post, but it's my trip report for what it's worth. I spent a month in Bari, and it was the perfect base for me to explore Puglia and Southern Italy. I had a really nice Airbnb that was about 18 minutes walk from the station, away from the tourists, and in a nice residential area. I tried to meet guys on Grindr. I was willing to pay, but hoping for other options. I really didn't think my prospects were good since I was on the verge of 65 (am now 65) and I've gained about 30 pounds since COVID. But, I was pleased to find that ther…

Hi, I'm going there next month and I'm curious if anyone can share some experiences? Is it easy for Western Europeans to find hookups and where (Grindr). Where do I finde escorts and how much do they charge. The ones I found online where asking for 200 USD...

"As a gay man, I feel like a wave of anger, and violence, and resentment is heading towards us on a vast scale. I’ve literally seen a difference in the way I’m spoken to as a gay man since that November election, and that’s a few months of weaponising hate speech, and the hate speech creeps into the real world. “I’m not being alarmist. I’m 61 years old. I know gay society very, very well, and I think we’re in the greatest danger I have ever seen.” The reference to the November election may sound as though the quote comes from an American. Nope. He is British and very much an icon for British gay men. Russell T. Davies is one of the country's most prominent gay s…

Hi I am going to the WATER DAY. Anybody wants to join? This will be my first time... what to expect? I will be alone and I think some company could make it more fun.

SchuwZ, said to be Berlin's oldest and biggest gay dance club has finally declared bankruptcy according to a post on Instagram. It was founded in 1977 and had been suffering financially for some years. Rising rents, declining attendance generally in the Berlin Club scene (especially an ageing core clientele) and the failure of a crowd-funding campaign which raised only €3,000 of a €150,000 target have all done nothing to help lower the monthly deficit of between €30,000-€60,000. Despite all this SchutZ hopes ways might be found for it remain open. The dying nighclub scene in Berlin became more pronounced last year. The gay and lesbian Busche Club which opened in 198…

Today's Observer newspaper has a series of articles about the acute housing shortage in Europe, with the Mayor of Barcelona recently saying - "The housing crisis is now as big a threat to the EU as Russia" He is right to include almost the entire continent of western Europe. Renters now find that virtually half their incomes are routinely swallowed up by rent. Year on year increases are now routinely 10% or more resulting in many having to live in ever more cramped conditions and increasing the number of homeless. It is also having an increasingly vocal move towards political disenfranchisement in the continent and away from established political parties towar…

I stayed 2-3 nights in each capital. All four countries are - to slightly differing degrees - homophobic. In all four I got grindr messages from circa 30 young guys looking for daddies. 2-3 were for pay, asking for 30-70 euros. No public face pics. Most dont send them even privately, even expiring. Tirana (Albania) - major tip: if u want to have sex, rent an airbnb. Guys dont come to hotels, period. They wont even be seen with you in a cafe. A guy drove me in his car 10 minutes out of the city to nature. I agreed mainly because it reminded me of mischevous yesteryears a long time ago. It WAS fun. In Skopje (Macedonia) also no willi…

For many flying between Europe and Bangkok increasingly a plane change in Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi or now even Oman is necessary. Even though many are keen only to get to their final destination, the possibity for short stopovers is increasingly possible, the more so when some of the wonders of the world are on your doorstep. Some time ago, I wrote a series of articles on an amazing two weeks in Iran, an extraordinariy beautiful country with lovely people. While I would not consider that now in the present political climate, there is another short stopover to one of the unique sights of our world that amazed me. I took the One World airline Royal Jordanian from Bangkok to A…

Hi, I am planning a trip to Bucharest Romania some time in March but I am totally unfamiliar with the city. Is there anyone who can help me with some information please? Especially on how to find escorts. I found that there are listings of gay brothels on adultsearch: https://romania.adultsearch.com/bucharest/gay-lesbian-bar But I do not have the contacts. Can some one help me please? Thanks so much in advance.

I have a thing for the tracksuit-wearing, sleazy gopnik-types. I’m not looking for the clean-cut BelAmi types. I’m really into the sort of brutish-looking Slavic guys. Attaching a random picture I found online of the type of guys I’m looking for lol. What are the best destination for these men? I’d go to Russia itself but that’s obviously out of the question at the moment for your average American. Any destinations/tips/advice would be very appreciated.

hi all , i hope to visit Krakow shortly and would love some pointers regarding the scene in Krakow . help please !

Where are guys most likely to be open, both sexually, and otherwise? Looking for the jocky/twinky young-Chace-Crawford/Corbin Fisher types...

Hello everyone. Just got my e-visa and I'll be visiting Istanbul in the first week of September for one week. I have gone through the existing posts on Istanbul on these forums, but still had some questions that I would be grateful if anyone could answer! 1. Saunas other than Aquarius - Most people on the forum have mentioned Aquarius sauna, but none of the other reputedly gay saunas. Google and gay travel websites mention Firuzaga bath, Cihangir sauna and Yesilderik hamam too. Has anyone had an experience at any of these saunas and hammams, or any other hammams I've missed out? At the above saunas, is fun only to be had with patrons (like in saunas in the West), or …

Hey, I’m looking for good tips for Romania. I’m really in gypsies.

So I have been to Barcelona thermas many times and I don't even consider other locations in Spain. Accidentally very recently I talked to a local guy in the shower at thermas very briefly and he informed me that he goes Malaga a lot for cruising and having fun there with some paid boys and massages. I didn't know Malaga was a big gay destination in Spain but googling gay saunas revealed a cluster of them there. Anybody has info about the Malaga scene?

Visited Lisbon for 3 weekdays. Stayed at the gay-friendly Late Birds hotel. [See below the "nasty" menu placed by the minibar.] It's within walking distance to the 2 venues. Also, nice feeling 2 c guests and staff grindr profiles within 50 mtrs. Notwithstanding gays, it's a good hotel. Was offered sex-massage in grindr by 5 good looking guys, 60-80 eurs. Didnt follow up on them. Had one in-room for-free encounter with a 21 y/o, rather boring. Went two nights to Trobeta Bath, a squeaky clean spacious fully-equipped efficient and friendly gay sauna. Once at about 20:30, once at 22:30; both times there were 25-30 men inside, young and older. [If u ask at t…

So I've been to Prague a few years back, and there was a fair amount of action there. I am thinking of going back. However, maybe see somewhere different. What do you guys think as the best spots in Eastern Europe now? I have been reading a lot about Athens and I think Wawrsaw has prospects there for cruising. Would anyone suggest Talinn, Bucharest, Serbia, Bulgaria or Slovakia?

I am contemplating a trip later in the year but can’t decide between Barcelona or São Paulo. Another way of asking the question is Thermas in Barcelona v Lagoa in São Paulo. I have been to São Paulo 9 times the last time 8 years ago and have never been to Lagoa in its current location. I have been to Barcelona about 5 times most recently last year. Comments by seasoned travellers who have sampled both in recent times much appreciated.

Hi Fellow Members ! I am going to Paris in about a week. Is there a Sauna with rent boys just like in Brazil's Club 117 or 202 or Termas Lagoa ??? I am thinking of hiring from Rentmen but I would like to see them first before I take them in the room just like in the sauna in Rio/SP. and I am kinda afraid to bringing guys in my hotel. I am alone in this trip. Or maybe you can recommend a guy 🙂 ? Thanks for the tip !
