  1. For the younger people, in the early 80s everything to do with South Africa became toxic because of apartheid. Over time it became wearing on white South Africans to experience being shunned. It was of course the determination of black South Africans who were responsible for the end of apartheid, but the international sanctions helped create the sense among the whites that the end was inevitable. I hope the pressure can be maintained against Russia, if Putin is not stopped now, we'll soon be in the same situation with the Baltic countries.

    Thanks for the detail so did the boys offer you in lira or euro? What was the rate

    Some quoted me a rate in lira, others I just offered them a rate in lira first. There's nothing comparable to Aquarius at home, but I tried to match what it might be if there was something like that.

    Glad you had fun. Turks usually quote in euro so I didn't think lira depreciation would make turkey attractive for us. Did you get quotes in lira? What is the going rate now at aquarius? 

    You're correct, the tourist operations were quoting in euros, but restaurants in normal neighbourhoods were very inexpensive. The movie Dune was about $2.50 U.S. in the theatre compared to about $16 U.S. to see The French Dispatch in Paris.  Also far fewer tourists which was nice for me, not so nice for the people whose livelihood depends on them. As for the guys at Aquarius, I think I was offering over the going rate, but some still wanted more. I felt bad for them because it was very quiet. I think one afternoon I was the only outsider there. Barcelona was particularly disheartening because it looked there were abandoned cafes and other businesses on every block. But it looked like the ones that survived are doing okay.

  4. Was just in Istanbul the first two weeks of December. Lots of he-man type escorts in romeo and rentmen. Did meet up for an hour with an incredibly hot escort. Went back and forth in my head about whether it was crazy to go to Aquarius with omicron taking off, but went twice just at the end. Definitely some attractive guys there. A few male model types who really aren't my thing. Had a great time with a few working class type guys. They're the kind of guys I grew up with and have always been the most attractive for me. Didn't get Covid.  I suppose the guys there would have had it already, maybe more than once. It was must be a pretty conducive place for transmission, little rooms, close contact. It was incredibly cheap with the TL collapsing, but guilt inducing because the economic problems are really hard on the working people. Also went to Barcelona, but the Thermas site said foreigners needed a document I didn't have. I had a French covid pass that might have got me in, but I didn't feel like trying to sort something like that out at door. Had a nice time in Paris with an escort and a duo in Madrid. I'm at an age where just some body contact and some light activities are more my thing. All of the escorts I met were good guys and I had a good time with them. Not many tourists around Europe, but the cafes and bars everywhere are busy, especially Paris. It was kind of surreal seeing people packed together, not wearing any masks.

    What's missing from Richard Barrow's stories is whether the featured persons had been vaccinated. Quite possibly the response protocol is differentiated by vaccination status of whoever tests PCT-positive.

    I wonder also whether many other countries require everybody who tests positive to be put in a hospital. In North America as far as I know only people with serious symptoms go into a hospital. Otherwise it's stay in a quarantine hotel.

    It is not the first time I read you making this comment. We have very different taste in men. I suspect 57a may be a paradise for me.

    Some guys seem to like the buff tanned guys without any body hair. I prefer the wiry types with a bit of facial hair who look like they might work in an auto parts store. I'm sort of ashamed to admit I've also been admiring some of the young Taliban fighters I've seen on the news lately.

    The previous posts suggested some websites. I would not write off the Madrid sauna (Adan). Though not as good as Barcelona, it still had a good selection of guys from all over, based on my admittedly 8yo experience. I always prefer to meet and see the guy in person first. You never know whether the guy in an internet ad looks anything like the one who actually shows up.

    I've been surprised by the number of the times the escort turned out to be hotter than the guy who's photo he used in his ad.

  8. Just curious if anybody ever hooked up with a Bulgarian escort named Boril. He is the most beautiful man I ever met. The last time I saw him was in 2015 in Paris and I'm sure he's not escorting anymore. My hope is he earned enough savings to set himself up in a business or a career. I will say Bulgarian escorts are my favourite, masculine but also easy going. While Sofia is kind of depressing, the people generally are pleasant and seem civic minded.

    Thanks Jaizan

    People seem to either love or hate Romanians here. I love meeting the Romanians in Berlin and Milan. And prefer top. I was very interested to know what Bucharest would be like. But I prefer a bar setting - rather than meeting online or outdoors.

    I had a session with a Romanian guy at the escort sauna in Barcelona. One of the best I've ever had with an escort. Not a nice guy, but as a dominant top he was fantastic.

  10. I stayed in a beach town just outside Santo Domingo and took a local bus into town one day. I was struck at how kind the younger men were to the elderly ladies, helping them with their belongings, giving up their seats to them, making sure the driver let them off at their stops. Eventually there was just me and the driver and the conductor on the bus and they started mocking me in Spanish talking about me being gay. How little did they know. I never tried to find a guy for sex. The town I was in had lots of pimps and female sex workers. The desk clerk at the hotel even asked me if I wanted a woman when I checked in. I didn't ask if any guys were available. But there were local guys staying with some of the European women.

    I enjoyed the opening ceremony this year. I think Japan did an excellent job and I thought the performances were beautiful. Is anyone watching them this year?

    The ratings are pretty good in Canada, I think in part people are just looking for inspirational type stories.

  12. Many, many, many years ago I visited the Caribbean coast in Costa Rica where the sex tourism was pretty open.... European women taking young local men into the jungle. I was young and didn't even know what sex tourism was. A Canadian in the bungalow next to mine brought a young local to stay with him for a few days and I wondered why. In any case I was too naive and nervous to try to set anything up, but I did enjoy my trip, the people at that time were quite friendly and the tourism industry still relatively rustic.
