Thatās good to know about the security barrier in the Marriott. And great tips about going offline for conversations. I donāt think Iāve ever had as much attention online as I have in Cairo. I think much has to do with having a real profile with real photos coupled with being an outsider which makes locals feel safe in that if they are truly on the down low they wonāt be outed by a stranger. There are simply thousands of handsome men all over this country. Iāve always gone for guys with darker featured and more melanin and Egypt provides.

Hi guys! Iām currently in Cairo and want to give an update to the current state of affairs as Iāve seen them. Grindr is packed with guys and so many seem effortlessly masculine. Iām a middle aged bear and the first night I stayed in Zamelak which is very central and decided to do a Grindr boost for an hour just for research purposes. I got 125 messages in that first hour. There is a warning when you open the app that speaks about police profiling. I asked a few guys and one even laughed about it. The general consensus is itās not an issue and two even said they wouldnāt touch a tourist at all. The difficult part is for obvious reasons they only show disappearing photos so it quickly gets out of hand when it comes to remembering who you are talking to when youāve got five or six possible suitors in conversation. I stayed at the Marriott on the island using points I saved up and it was nice. But security was tight getting in. Possibly going to dinner first in the hotel and then sneaking up later would work? (It must be said Iām not meeting with anyone this trip because Iām traveling with a close girlfriend). The Airbnb Iām currently in would absolutely work though for hookups as there are no doormen at all. I wonāt be able to comment on the availability of guys further south in the historical zones of Luxor and Aswan as Iāll be on a cruise and unable to meet up. waking through Khan el-kalili souk was incredible and I feel if I were alone Iād be able to street cruise. Egyptians have been very gracious and welcoming of me and are proud of their country. Itās been very endearing and Iām glad Iāve come back after a dozen years gone. Iād like to come back solo and really have fun. The talent pool seems endless here.

This is a perfect place to ask this question. What does the S number mean in these profiles? -

Absolutely positively do not douche with local water in developing countries. I learned my lesson many years ago on my first trip to India. If you hesitate to drink it then for sure do not douche with it.

Iāll be there this winter and Iām really excited. Iām actually planning on staying for a few weeks total in the country and Iād love to get insight on which is a better large coastal city to āliveā in for a couple of weeks. Tangier, Rabat, Casablanca. I love the idea of being in a more typical city for a bit vs a tourist city where you just get hounded to death from touts.
-
Thanks for the report! Iām so eager to return to Egypt. Iād like to spend a month traveling to various parts of the country. Iām especially interested in seeing the southern regions where North Africa fades into Nubian lands. Did you find much difference between regions in Cairo when it comes to hooking up?

Iām bumping this thread. Iāll be in Colombia in two weeks. Does Colombia still require this god awful check mig registration now?

I went to BAngkok hospital pattaya as well! But it was like pulling teeth to get an appointment in the afternoon when I needed one. But eventually they relented

Hi guys! I fly back to the states on Wednesday at noon. Iām having the hardest time finding information about getting a rapid Covid test 24 hours prior to my flight. Is there a testing center in the bkk airport? What about a place in pattaya I can take one to get an acceptable print out for my flight? thanks guys

Oh that is interesting as for me the two couldnāt be further apart. Well, Imguess it does make sense if you want to offer different products. I prefer the hotmale for sure. I actually just came back from another night there. I would say close to 20 boys and probably 25 customers during my time there. Another great night and a lot more of a typical party atmosphere. My date and I actually stopped in Tawan since it was near my hotel (The Quarter). There were probably 5-6 boys . Though one I wasnāt sure if he was a boy or a customer. Which isnāt a good sign. However there were three young and cute guys there dancing. And it was a lot more intimate not just in size but also interaction. I saw some naughtiness happening between customer and client which was a welcome sight.

Ok, Hotmale has redeemed my faith in the bar scene a bit. Tonight was impressive for the amount of guys. I think I counted 14 maybe 15 boys. Probably an equal or great amount of customers filtered through during the hour and a half I was there. They all were a high quality version of boy next door type with a couple of really cute ones at that. They had a big cock show with five stunning guys showing off their goods. This is what I come for. Well the camp-only in Thailand- atmosphere as well. But itās a lot of fun to see how they behave in person. See what they are packing etc. the boys were in pants. I should note that they are supposed to be in pants per rules. But somehow showing off exposed genitalia is ok. I donāt know the logic but Iāll stop judging them for walking the tightrope of compliance with the authorities. But what struck me most with the boys at hotmale is they all were attentive and seeking eye contact. Unlike the bored boys of moonlight. Perhaps itās a management thing with this bar. At any rate I felt welcome and I was happy to pass around tips justly deserved for the show of flesh. I ended up meeting a guy there and though we didnāt go home tonigh together Iāll contact him tomorrow. Iām not much of a night owl and prefer to have daytime contact. If we could conjoin moonlights higher calibre performers with the eagerness and sincerity of the boys at hotmale youād have a winner on all fronts. As has been said a million times before, they would make more money dropping the price of drinks. I would approve of a door charge or minimum drink purchase. But if the patrons are more drunk, they will certainly open their wallets more. Just turn it into a local watering hole that happens to have naked boys cavorting around on stage. Thatās a fantastic concept!

Well, it is very good to be back in Bangkok after a 7 year hiatus. And good news! The city still smells the same as it always has. Iāve managed to visit two bars in the two free nights Iāve had so far. Dreamboy the first night and moonlight tonight. Dream boys felt a lot like what I remember the bar scene to be in bangkok. A couple dozen boys rotating on stage then the campy show with drag queen, big cock and fucking show. The mamasan kindly suggesting boys for me. I was satisfied with the amount of guys and the variety. But definitely more boy next door than model type. However it was worth my time. I thought the sexiest guy was the blond DJ and I should have asked if he was available. I did off a cute guy who partook in the big cock and fuck show. Very sweet guy. Moonlight however was very disappointing. And I think so because it has so much potential. There were 7 bored but cute but fullly clothed lads on stage. Fine, dreamboys started out this way but they changed into briefs when the show started. Well, moonlights show didnāt feature any of the boys and instead seemingly showcased professional performers? I was confused. The drag queen trans lady was exceptional. She could be drag race quality. I was impressed. The boys who lip synched were very very cute. As well as a sexy bull/matador skit. I was thinking wow this is going to be incredible. The caliber of guys here is top notch! Then the show ended with a bikini pageant with the performers in cute skimpy shorts. And thatās it! I was bummed it didnāt get racy at all. And then they left! To be replaced with the (still cute mind you) bored fully clothed boys. Where did the hotties go? Whatās happening? Where is the sex appeal? The fantasy? Just totally let down and bummed. Is moonlight too cool to be camp? To be naughty? Whatās going on? So, Iāll check out hotmale tomorrow. Iām trying to be as generous as I can. Itās Covid. Itās (extra) strict Thailand, itās also shoulder season in a normal year. But Bangkok has lost some of its excitement for sure. I was so pumped to come back. Ready to relive those crazy nights Iāve had in the past here. Iām hoping itāll be better in the weekend. Dreamboys was a promising start. Moonlight was a big bummer. Iām excited to see the other places. Even if itās slow. I can totally dig a boy next door type whoās eager and engaging. He doesnāt have to be a stunner. I love the whole atmosphere Bangkok's boy scene used to provide and Iām hoping I can get more of that. I think Iāll check out a massage place but Iām not sure where to start. Masculine big cock guys are my thing. And Thailand provides on that front.

To add to this discussion, I have a google pixel phone with a google fi phone plan. Iām not exactly sure this service is available to non US customers but with it I get phone and data service in pretty much every country in earth minus the typical north koreas of the world. Itās amazing. Plane lands in any country and Iāve got service while still on the plane. Prices are good as well. im pretty sure most new generation smart phones can get the google fi sim card as well. Worth checking into.
