welcome home

My preference is Manly Gay Men. I am not into Fem Guys or Straight Ones. And I had no problems meeting my kind of guys throughout the Islands.
My first several trips I spent time in Manila. But I found going outside Manila was more enjoyable. The traffic in Manila is terrible. Sometimes it took over two hours to go from Malate to Makati. Too long just to try a new restaurant. I took new friends on trips to Baguio in the North, Bangatas to the South, Puerto Galera on Mindoro. And of Course Boracay Island!!! Then I went to Cagayan de Oro on Mandanao and said "Forget Manila!!". On to General Santos City, and Davao. Great guys in all those places and fun places to visit. Camiguin Island, Samal, Siargio (Surfer's Paradise). Then I settled into Cebu City. Would go there for 2-3 weeks and enjoy time with many old and new friends. Side trips to Bantayan Island, Oslob, the Camotes, and over to Panglao on Bohol Island.
In Cebu City I booked rooms at the Crown Regency Towers, at the Quest Hotel, at Best Western LEX. All good hotels at about USD50 to 70 per night. Then I found a great Condo in the Crown Towers #3. Two level loft style unit on the 23rd Floor. For a stay more than 1 week it was USD60 per night. I was HOME!!
I had my share of young men! And most spent the night. There were some just for an afternoon visit. Many said they were Tops but I also found agreeable Bottoms. None asked for money, but I gave them 1000-1500P, USD20-30, plus benefits of shopping, dinner, 3-D movie, and evening at a Club. Now I see many hot guys on Romeo. The hotest offer massage and fun for 2000-2500P, USD40-50. Short time. Much like in Thailand. But no Go-Go Bar Fees. I have tried a few but find the Home Boys more my liking!! Ages 20 up to 32. I was finding the guys in their late 20s, early 30s, more and more attractive.
So ask me more Questions!!

Quick recap, as I found out that passive aggressive bitches in this forum are harassing my friends using the info I share here.
Last Saturday, 202 was amazing. The Cabinas Liberadas event brought tones of clients and boys. I was exhausted and watching my clock to join a diner, so I devoted the couple of hours I was their almost entirely to flirting and mutual touching with Gabriel, Davin, and Bruno. I took a quicky in a cabin with Gabriel and then headed out. Short night, the bill was something like 130 Rials.
I ran to call my Uber to go the diner in Satyricon. For those of you into fancy restaurantes, this is a nice spot in Ipanema. I was not paying and was tipsy after two caipirinhas at 202, so I do not remember the prices. I arrived late, it was about 30 people and ended in a side table with a subgroup of 6. I di remember I had a great time and my risotto was excellent. 
My friends were all heading to a giant party, invited to the VIP by the hostess, a local drag queen with a following of millions. Not only this grandpa did not join them, but needed to take the whole Sunday off to relax. I am a maconha guy, and so many days drinking got me in need of recovery. I stayed at my base the whole day, sleeping and writing the post I shared later on. It was not only the over drinking and over sexing. Those who know me know that I am not very social and I was in need of a chunk of solitude. It was very appreciated. 
Today, Monday, I just kissed goodbye Gabriel. He is not the hottest GP I met so far, but he makes me believe him (😉 @floridarob). I may see him in 202 today, if I am recovered.

 
He brought me maconha, it is the first time I smoke since I arrived. He left me some. It is not the quality I am used to in DC, but it does work. It worked good enough to leave me lying down instead of going to the beach or to Centro with the boy, as we were planning. Right now I cannot climb to the 17th floor anymore, because the crew moved last Saturday to a new location, so I will stay in my nest for one more hour and then, I think, will make a visit to 202.
I am happy with the post I wrote. Because of the malware challenge I stopped publishing for a while, and I am right now having excellent feedback from the people I like, and a lot of hating from those I do not. Exactly what I intended.
I am crossing my fingers. If I resist the temptation to smoke more pot, I will be heading to 202 soon.

 
 
 
 

I cannot wait to finish with my teleworking, today is the last day! Yesterday, the plan was having diner with Rhyheim and friends. When I was about to head to Ipanema where the restaurante was located, Big Bro texted me to cancel.
I was left with no plan. We connected with the friend @Xclay when he was on his Uber towards 117, but as I said before I do not think I want to visit that sauna again during this trip. Thursday is not a good day for Point, and I was not in the mood to try New Meio Mundo. So I dove into Grindr to hunt for free or paid sex, whatever. When I found a couple of interesting candidates who were asking me for 300 Rials, probably because they noted my profile in English, Gabriel texted me. He was working at Point but, of course, it was a slow night.
This is why I wanted to rent close to Point. 15' after he texted me, he was buzzing from my building reception. We had an amazing session. Evidently, last Wednesday he was tired and drained and yesterday was fresh. Passionate, demanding, locking our eyes while he would voraciously ride my dick, the boy is a finding.
He left about 10, and I decided to read a book before sleeping. I brought to read in this trip A Life of Lust, Memoirs of THE Porn Star, by Kevyn Mines. You probably know the author by his porn name, Venom. I may write a review for the blog, it is an OK reading if you are a fan.
About 10:30, I got a new text message from Rhyheim. He was inviting me to witness a gang bang scene upstairs. Of course, I dropped my book, grab a beer, and headed to the elevator. Their cameraman welcomed me, got a quick chat with Rhyheim and a couple of the boys who were not in the stage area, was assigned a safe area to stay on to avoid being accidentally framed by the camera, and the scene started to rol. 10 guys fucking Brazilian bottom @blessed_xboy. It was a lot of fun being in the backstage observing the interactions and porn tricks to build the staged fantasy. 
My twits last night went out on real time. I share one above once I was back in my nest. Here you have another one:
 
Hopefully, once I am done with teleworking I will have time to report on the experience. I have not published in my blog in a while, and now I have things to share. The guys ended working soon after midnight, all of them an amazingly friendly crew. I kissed them goodbye, and at 12:30 I fainted. Let's see what happens today.

As I've said before, I'm not a good trip report writer...thoughts run around in my head and I'm not as detailed as others to remember boys numbers etc.... So I'll give a rundown on what my trip was like...... I'll break it into a Pattaya - a BKK- and a Bali thread

I flew from JFK-TPE-BKK on EVA Air, business class using UA miles. EVA left JFK an hour late which only resulted in a shorter connection time in TPE. Their service was flawless, as usual, one of my favorite airlines.

Arrived on time Sat Oct 8th @11am  ...made my way to the Fast track lane, regular immigration didn't look too bad either and was through in about 8 mins. Luggage was already coming out and mine was one of the 1st bags out.

Off to look for Mike Taxi, they had someone there with my name and only waited about 5 mins for the car to arrive....no big conversation since the driver spoke zero English. Only traffic was arriving in Pattaya, 1.5 hrs from the time I left the airport, not bad.

I would be staying 10 nights in Classroom hotel with various food discounts and credits since I booked directly with them.....no issues at all during the stay, had a 4th floor room with a standing room only balcony. I unpacked and took a nap since it was still early, so I'd be well rested for the night.

When I finally went out, I was surprised at how depressing it was with so many businesses closed up....not just bars, but restaurants, clothing stores, straight places (I'd feel the same way on Suriwong in BKK) Many places that I used to go to , weren't there anymore.
 
My friend from NYC wouldn't arrive until the next day, so I was on my own....walked Boyztown and had a drink at Panorama, was really quiet there and went to Nice Boys, the chubby guy mamasan was drunk and annoying, so I left to walk around Sunnee. More depressing, lol....So I went back to Nice Boys and told the mamasan outside that I'll go back in if she keeps the fat guy away from me...she called him outside and yelled at him in Thai, obviously being scolded. She told him to apologize and he just looked down at the ground....what a relief, he didn't even look in my direction the rest of the night. I can usually find one guy in any bar and make a selection, the choices were pretty limited, about 5 guys, so I took one that had a tattoo on his face and I was laughing thinking how many here hate tattoos and what they'd think of this 😝 Stopped at the metal table restaurant (Pakboong loy Fah), which I'll refer to as prison table restaurant for a drink and Back to my room, was fun but not a repeat off in the future.

I was well rested and not satisfied, so I went to Jomtien Super Complex (has a ring)....met with gayinpattaya had some drinks, no one was grabbing my attention and when the bars were closing the waiter at Cocka2 said he was going to the beach and drink with friends, if I wanted to go. I was wide awake and hadn't done that in a long time so I said sure. Was fun, nice how his group of friends watched out for me, making sure I was having fun and not left out....we stayed until about 5am and decided to go to my room, he needed to make money after all. We stopped on the way at a 7/11 and an old lady was cooking on her food cart, so we ordered 2 dishes and went back to my room. Was maybe the worst tasting Thai food I've had anywhere, disappointing. Sex with the waiter was ok, would work as a backup/emergency but not 1st choice...plus was older than my liking, but very nice guy.

The 2nd day, my friend arrived, was staying at the Hilton so we went for lunch at Jasmin's Cafe only a few blocks from his hotel and a favorite place for me to eat. Then off to Jomtien beach, via Bolt taxi, prices so cheap and very comfortable cars. Went to the "gay" part of the beach near the toilets in the road and Chit saw me and thanked us for coming. Manicure/pedicure (those old ladies do a better job than most spas). Went to FRA Pattaya on S. Pattaya Beach road, as recommended here, was awful. Two bad meals in 2 days...couldn't believe it. Then for a foot massage at Relax massage, I got a cute/fun Cambodian and my friend ended up with a no  personality older Thai guy. We hung around in Boystown and my friend wanted to see EVERY bar and show there was, because unlike me, he wants to look for the greener grass somewhere else thinking it might be better. I like a waiter from Classic boys and felt like drinking some more, so we went to Jomtien had some drinks, he seemed to enjoy it because he had never been there. One thing I make sure of is that the guy knows how to do a massage, because if the sex is mediocre, at least I can enjoy a massage for the money I am paying 😏 He ended up being a emergency backup in case I didn't find anything some night.

The rest of the nights were the same, almost every bar In BT, he wanted to see if anyone new showed up although only BBB 1 time, that was enough my friend likes good restaurants, we ate at Cafe des Amis for his B'day, was nice (my steak on the EVA flight was better) the service was top notch, May's Pattaya was very nice, I'd recommend, VERY INEXPENSIVE lunch was Thai food good taste (Google it) , Alibaba Tandoori was very good and fun waiter, had breakfast at Hilton hotel a couple of times, great buffet but my favorite was prison tables....convenient and very tasty food.

Dreamboys had the best, for me....I did 3 different offs from there....one was a couple of times and my best sex of the trip. Passionate, nice dick , hot sex....but the next 2 times, boring and into his phone....hate that.

Pattaya is typically low on the sex satisfaction scale for me, has been for over 20 yrs. I still like coming to go to the beach, mani/pedi, massage, food and not spend a ton of money. I know this going in, so no high hopes for Pattaya. As someone from here pointed out, I'm more work than most because I want to drink, have fun, FULL SEX not just hand/blow jobs....

My friend had more luck on the apps.....I still need to see the person walk and talk to see if they're a fit for me, an ongoing issue on apps is lying about age and sex role and sending fake/photoshopped pics, makes me crazy and is a waste of time.



I'll do BKK and Bali later....

General Santos City,or Gensan for short is a city in the southern part of the Philippines,it's more a country type city .
It even has its own international airport although you can't fly there directly from other countries,you have to change at Manila airport.
Gensan is known as the "tuna capital" of the Philippines and will hold the tuna festival in September for those interested.
I found General Santos City the best out of all the cities I visited.
There's no condos there or skyscrapers,it's a large country type city where the people are friendly and cheap prices .
As for guys I had 8 in 2 weeks and the majority didn't want pay !
Two asked for trycycle money to my hotel ,(100 pesos) another asked for 1000 pesos (about 700baht) the others were bisexual guys in the tuna industry looking for quick fuck for free.
They were all tops and a few had tattoos and most were either married or had girlfriends,I got them all of grinder.
General Santos City ( Gensan) has a few 4 star hotels one a 4.5 and also a casino inside the hotel.
Country city like this is worth a visit esuif your in your mature years because the bisexual guys on Grindr are horny for new ass , very few farangs are in Grindr in Gensan , I saw a few backpackers only .
So guys I ask you to explore rather than just go to Thailand every year !
Try the Philippines!!!
Especially country cities like general Santos City & Davao,2 of the most safest cities in the Philippines!
 
 

Went to SM mall Asia last night, the biggest shopping mall in Asia situated on the waterfront area near Conrad's casino hotel
Action in the toilets at SM shopping mall  Asia !
My Filipino bf was being sucked off in the cubicle , a lot of bisexual Filipino daddy type in there though obviously family men wanting a bit of action,not my cup of tea.
As for Siam roads tour guide still no response from that gay tour company so I won't bother with them,I'm a little bit sad as I thought they were reliable and wanted to book day & night tours but no response to my umpteen emails.
Gay night life here there is the Apolla , haven't been though bits a gay male table top dance club.
Last night walking thru Malate a suburb of Manila I'm being approached by both younger guys & girls for room massage but some looked a bit young and I don't want to start checking identity etc ,no doubt they were 18 just I didn't feel in the mood ,but I guess I could of tipped the security guards to check.
After today I will head up to Angeles City which is a red light city 2 hours north of Manila.
Grindr is far different here in Manila than say smaller cities as Davao etc,the guys look younger here in Manila 18ish and obviously are more money boy inclined rather than the other cities who seem just to want to have sex 
Seems no free sex here in Manila unless your into daddy types 
 
.
 
 
 
 
 

Well arrived Manila last night 830pn, taxi queue was a mile long all unorganised of course ,nothing like Bangkok.
I booked a hotel on the app , all seem very expensive here in Manila compared to Bangkok.
One thing I found out is never think it's the hotels advertised price.
Agoda says a hotel is 2100 pesos a night ,then you click it on then they add taxes , admin fee etc it becomes 1000 pesos more by the time you go to the payment page !!
So anyway ended up paying 3100 pesos for a 3 star in Malati , expensive Manila !
Actually I'm starting to appreciate Bangkok far far more after being here in Manila and seeing it's disorganisation 
So  me and bf decided to walk away from airport, into a nearby street and to be greeted by touts " where you go ,where you go?
Ended up paying 500 pesos to malate ! Had to, no taxis available and grab too busy 
Grab qouted 455 so not much difference but this place compared to Bangkok is expensive.
Our hotel 1970's style  which is in centre of malate would be around the 2000.baht mark in Bangkok ,here in malate with taxes,vat, admin fees, Agoda fees etc came to 3200 pesos a night ! 
Maybe during the week the qouted from apps such as Agoda go down.
Now one thing I should of learnt by now is .....never book a hotel more than one night , I always see what it's like the first night ,but this time I didn't and booked 2 nights only to see the Agoda app drop the price to 2000 pesos tonight !
Anyway guys sorry for being so negative this post ,I will see how Manila goes in the next few days,it's not my cup of tea at the moment.
In fact I probably prefer my old stomping ground of Thailand but that may change as I wander Manila
I'm staying Manila bay area
Now sorry to sound so negative about experiences just I'm used to Thailand.
My Filipino bf has told me to angry last night to stop complaining and whinging & accept that this country is more aggressive style  and I would say more expensive  than Thailand but anyway it's a experience I guess ,
Anyway arrived hotel last night my bf was angry or fed up I was whinging/ complaining a lot so went to bed as soon as we arrived 
I will see today it's about 7am right now so I'm heading off into Manila city 
I just hate it when companies like Agoda add all these taxes etc,they don't do this in Thailand.
But anyway today I will stop being so negative , this country is making me one of those whinging old men 😂😂
 
 
...to be continued 
 
 
 
 
 

Guys I'm off to Manila tonight just checking out of my hotel here in Cebu .
My plans this week to book the tour guide in Manila if he is at.
I should of booked the Cebu Siam tour guide I guess rather than wander around aimlessly.
Cebu is ok it reminds me of the Gold coast Australia, except there are no nice beaches I can see directly around .
I probably won't come back to Cebu.
Things I would do differently are do my research first , I do like casinos so there are a few big ones here full of Chinese & Koreans , attractions here are ocean world marina,shopping malls ,nothing to really excite me.
I probably would stay in a less price hotel ,you can get decent 3 star here for around 1200 pesos a night not as cheap nor good quality as in Thailand for that price though,here I'm paying average 2500 pesos per night around 2000 baht a night I guess in Thai money 
But as I said I think Pattaya still wins over Cebu for me except there's unlimited free sex here in Cebu.
But guys if I done my research better or even went with that tour guide from Siam  roads I would probably enjoy it more because I would have more knowledge .
Anyway I'm off to Manila then to Angeles City 
 
 
 

I visited Cebu a few years back now (2017) and had a blast.  Back then Mango Square was the place to go with lots of str8 and ladyboy bars  - and so where the ladyboys went the gays followed both in the bars and hanging around on the streets outside the bars.  BUT  I believe a lot of the Mango Square area has since been gentrified and they're trying to clean up it's image a bit, a quick google shows me that some bars are still there but I'm guessing it's not the bustling night life place it once was - but I'm also guessing there's fun to be had in Cebu in general, if not there then in other areas.  
I know my grindr just never stopped the entire time I was there and if I'd wanted I wouldn't have needed to go to ANY bars for the duration of the trip thats for sure !  
Should it help you I stayed at the St Mark hotel https://www.stmarkhotel.ph  which a quick goggle shows me is still there.  It was spot on hotel wise and just around the corner from the bars.  
One thing back just to give a word of caution, when there I was warned by several people ( not all guys and it wasn't chat up lines) not to walk home alone 'in general" at night and certainly not to and from the bars, as being the white guy I stood out like a sore thumb of course as a robbery target ( which seemed quite prevalent there at the time I heard.  I did follow that advice the first few nights ( ro got someone to walk home with me "for safety" lol, but after a while I relaxed and did walk about quite freely  - as to whether or not that was actually wise idea late at night or not I'm not so sure.
But do check the PH's message boards etc as it seems info is always quite hard to pin down there ( and in the PH's in general) as everyone likes to put up that "holier than thou" front - and yet the bars once you get into them are busy - funny that eh ! 
Oh and I would concur with what a few others said, I went to a few so called go go bars in Manila ( the old location, not where the new O bar is at now  - link here - https://www.travelgay.com/venue/o-bar-manila/#comment-13023  and the guys ( in the old gay bar area area of Malate - where they may actually still be a few gays bars I believe?) but they were nothing to write home about in the slightest, and I'm guessing mainly straight. There were however plently of friendly guys OUTSIDE the bars, who I'm guessing weren't allowed in as they were freelancing - they I found were VERY friendly and in fact I spent a few days with one of the guys I met there and we had a great time seeing the sights "and stuff" 🙂
The Ph's can feel like hard work sometimes when trying to plan a trip online as nothing is easy or laid out on a plate for you and the info online can tend to be years out of date sometimes ( although bars facebook pages seem a better option sometimes), BUT the guys there I found always to be plentiful on arrival the minute you walked out the door and ( and also many of them were hot) and a lot of them always very keen to be "friendly" either for money or not actually half times and many were just keen for a good night out ( and in) with you  - the only downside of course being that every Flipino seems to think they're you're bf after 10 minutes, but I'm sure you're well experienced in correcting that misapprehension FAST !   
Hope that helped in some way.  

I have turned my grinder off here in Davao City Philippines,going every 5 seconds and I'm not joking,I'm 62yo and it ranges from money boys to guys wanting dates to mature age professional guys.
The city is very safe just done a night time walk and was waved at by a few  young guys .
Can't see any poverty here in fact most look richer than me ,nice clothes, food places packed out,nice cars .
Here you will meet genuine boyfriend type sex rather than wham bam thankyou mam 
I see a few farangs here walking with boyfriends 

I'm.in Philippines now ,old chubby ,and my Grindr hadn't stopped.
Not all money boys some uni  students etc looking for dinner dates .
You want a bf come here 

I'm staying in Waterfront 5 star  casino expensive  at 3000 pesos a night !
But they have great gym & sauna inside 
Today I walked the alayne shopping centre , many cute guys smiled at me ,many farangs and gay ones too ,I sat at a bar called the "Social" outside bar which seems to have a lot of gay farangs 
I think it's better to travel solo next time, my Filipino bf seems to only like air conditioning shopping malls etc as in his words "it's too hot" to go walking 
I like to walk & explore so in some ways I wish to be by myself .
Unfortunately the gay scene is not in your face here in Cebu as in Pattaya ,not sure what Angeles City is like but that will be my next stop.
Cebu is ok for tourism activities I guess, mountains, water snorkeling etc ,I'm not into that , would I come back to Cebu ?
Probably not , but I will keep exploring Phillipines,so far I have done Manila, General Santos City,Davao , Cebu , out of that Manila was my favourite.
But I still have Angeles City to go ,so will see if any gay scene there next week 
 

Just had a boy 22yo staying in my hotel !
1 metre away on Grindr ,staying with his girlfriend on a lower floor, 
He is into old guys I guess,5 minutes into he blew his load,he said he was a Chinese Filipino, obviously rich as he couldn't afford to stay in this hotel,now grinder is going again and believe me guys I'm no spring chicken but these Filipino guys are so horny 
I can't believe they don't want money ??
There are many single old farangs at breakfast here looking at male waiters 
 

Day 2 in Cebu ,still a mix of money boys and non money boys on Grndr ,but unlike other areas of Phillipines Cebu seems to have a bit more mostly around the 1000 pesos ( I thought no that's around 800 baht )  to help with uni studies .
Your dealing with uni students not lower end money boys if I can put that nicely 
Now here I'm seeing a lot of  girlish feminine type boys working as waiters etc,good looking slim twinky types unlike other areas of the Phillipines 
A few of you commented that you should travel with a Filipino guy, in my experience that's a negative.
Because I'm travelling with my Filipino bf I'm unable to be chatted up my many of the Filipino guys because they see that ,I prefer next to me to be alone !!!
Everyone mostly speaks english here anyway , all signs are in English 
You don't need a travelling companion,
 

Well guys arrived this morning in Cebu with my Pinoy boyfriend.
Ok I was a little bit silly took a tout hire care 700 pesos to city from airport when I probably could of got a taxi for 300 pesos !
But I'm blamed it in my filipino bf obviously it's my fault as I started talking to the tout who approached me ,but the Cebu airport to city is about 30 minutes so I guess it's about 300/400 in a taxi? next time I will know, first time to Cebu I get scammed out of 300 /400 pesos ,oh well 😁 next time I will just go to the taxi rank !
I mean I could be wrong but I'm sure I got scammed but as my Filipino bf says to me "stop harping on it,it's only like $10 ,it's not the money it's more my stupidity,why didn't I just walk out to the taxi rank like I usually do in Bangkok,no silly me goes with the first taxi tout who approsches me, ok fair enough it was a modern Mercedes Benz he drove us in but was it worth 700 pesos ???..
Anyway I'm not going to harp on about it !
I believe I could of got a taxi from the rank for probably 200 on the Meter ,but anyway silly me took a Mercedes Benz who approached me for 700 pesos ,oh well im stupid,I'm blaming my Filipino bf but he is not from Cebu so didn't know,not that it was his fault anyway , 
Anyway what's done is done,I paid 700 pesos to the city when I probably could of got it for 200 with a Meter taxi anyway I'm not going in about it anymore !!
Well the good news is  though my  first night here , I booked a 5 star hotel from Agoda for 2500 pesos about $65/70  a night roughly 
Big gym, swimming pool ,etc 
I just went walking with my bf into a Filipino street area for street food and met Filipino guys eating street food,shared street food,drank beer ,hot looking boys everywhere !
That's the good thing about having a Filipino bf who is not girlish and can take you to street type places to meet genuine Filipino people.
I will be hitting Grindr tonight maybe 2 or 3 times for free yes free boys to visit ,not going to pay as there are plenty here who want free sex !
 
 

Hey guys!
I just returned from a month in Medellin. Wish I'd found this forum before I went. Lots of useful tips.
While there is a lot of good info here, I wanted to add a few more that I didn't see mentioned which I either knew before I left or learned the hard way there.
1.  It may have been said elsewhere, but I'd like to emphasize that you should speak some Spanish. I found very few people who spoke English. Definitely learn the basics and keep trying to communicate in Spanish - translator apps work well and people will appreciate the effort on your part.
2. If your cellphone plan doesn't allow an option for international use - look at Airalo e-sim card. It's an electronic sim. You can download the app before you leave, purchase your sim and have it ready to go when you land. I found out about this when the sim I had installed on an old phone stopped working. Wish I'd known before I left home.
3.  Look for a card that allows cash withdrawals without fees. I have a Charles Schwab investor "checking" account. I transfer money into this account and use it for travel. Best exchange rates and ATM fees are reimbursed.
4. Use Rappi - it's a delivery service that will deliver anything - food, medicine, whatever you want.
5.  Approach Grindr with caution. Too many guys that seemed too good to be true. Ask for verification photos if you're not convinced. Some words that indicate a financial exchange - liga, disponible, solvente.
6.  Use Uber instead of taxis if you can. They are unauthorized, so you sit in the front seat - just a "friend giving you a ride". You can plug in your destination and you know the fare. Their goal is to get you to your destination in the most efficient way, whereas taxis might take the scenic route if they figure out you're not from there. With all cars, close the doors gently. They are surprisingly light. If you use the same force you use at home, it will slam. Taxi drivers are especially unhappy when this happens.
7. Be careful at ATMs - I used the ATM inside of a supermarket. Don't flash your cash.
8. Beware of people slipping you drugs. I didn't read about this happening to gay men (though there were a few gay murders that I think are still unsolved), but I read on numerous forums about straight guys being drugged by women and ending up in the ER - of course with their valuables gone. While I had ZERO problems there, the hotness and availability of the men might lower your normal sense of caution.
9. Look for a local to show you around and help with your Spanish. I paid a guy to be my tour guide. He threw in some extras. I had the best experiences with him. Met him on Grindr.
10. Have fun. Medellin is a beautiful city and the people are lovely. Keep your wits about you, show some cultural sensitivity, and you'll have a great time.

After my previous trip was cancelled due to the pandemic, I’m finally able to be visit Colombia.
This new thread will be a semi blog with observations and tips from this current trip to Medellin and Bogota.
 

Last April I went on my post-vaccine trip to Santo Domingo--without benefit of this forum--and had a pretty good time (basically free Grindr guys and pain Juan binbin ones). Fun to the extent I wanted to go back--now all the more so that I have found this forum and info about Manny and Ezekial's guys! Planning to be there 2 weeks from today.   First a quick report of what I did last year. Stayed at the RIG Casa Conde for 9 days, it was about $40/night, they gave me one of the few rooms overlooking the street with a balcony, which was a nice aspect, I could sit on the threshold of the door (still benefiting from the awesome AC) and watch the world go by. (I confess I'm not a tropical-weather guy.) No problem with having guests, the reception is on the mezzanine and the guys would walk past the glass-enclosed reception, reception never said anything to them but I like that the guys would have an awareness that it is not a totally unsecured place.   As for the fun, yes it was fun. I'm a bottom guy, love big dicks of course, also like nice bodies, handsome faces and good kissers. Started out on the right foot with a Chilean guy a few hours before I arrived who was all of those and ended with a Dominican a few hours before I left who was too. (Nicely, the first and the last were the 2 best!) In between, a lot of guys with 8-9", in their 20s, mostly skinny non-gym, some handsome, some less so. And one guy around 40 with a great body and great kisser who went for hours, reminding me yet again that a big dick is not a requirement for great sex, nor is bareback. (On PrEP and prefer raw; I would say about a third of the guys were down with raw.) I would have about 3-5 guys a day, from about 5 minutes ,to that guy for several hours, pretty slutty although I doubt I qualify for BlkSuperman's league     I'm  open to paying (and did a few times) , but of course why pay for what you can get for free, plus the thrill that this hot guy is fucking me because he's into me not because he's getting paid is priceless. (I confess it is a thrill very hard to surrender as I get older.) Basically I would Grind during the day and if I wasn't satiated by around 4 or 5, I would heard to juan binbin (a few blocks away). The neighborhood drops off quite precipitously in those blocks, I always walked without trouble, it seemed so silly to order and Uber for 3 blocks, but the owner advised me against it (and once kindly even drove me back). I went there maybe 4 times, went with 3 different guys, the guys were not the super hottest (it's not the 117!) and never more than 10 were there at a time. 2 out of the 3 were very good (one was named Federico) and very obliging (I like it slow suavecito, not pounding and I find it's tough to get straightish escorts to deviate from the doggy-style pounding playbook. Also were good kissers and cool with breeding. You pay the owner, the rate is fixed, about $40 I recall. Once I went by and there was no one I was into and it was no problem that I just looked without buying. (Federico wasn't there otherwise I would have gone with him again.) One time I went with a guy who was boring and not very hard, I mentioned it to the owner and he was apologetic that the guy was new. Virtually no other clients around but this was April 2021, so maybe that's why...   Went to Apollo once on a weekend afternoon, it was actually very busy. Although many were wearing masks, it seemed a little excessive risk even though I was newly vaccinated, and since I wasn't getting a flood of attention (I'm pretty fit, but late 40s, so older than most everyone there) I didn't stick around long. Guys were kind of in the same range I was finding on Grindr. Also went to Cine Lido twice (the idea of sucking off straight guys, I confess, does seem pretty hot) but not very crowded (15-20 guys) and guys not very hot, but maybe because of the pandemic. Incidentally, on the corner to the west of Cine Lido, the Chifa (in parts of Latin America, "Chifa" refers to pre-prepared Chinesish food) the fried chicken is delicious, and was surely the highlight of my two visits to Cine Lido and the culinary highlight of my visit. I walked on my 2 visits, only about 4 blocks uphill from hotel, but as with Juan binbin (in a somewhat similar direction) that may have been too cavalier.    One last thing that made a nice contribution to my trip was the Gym Colonial, on Calle Conde, around only $2 for the day (yes, I love a bargain!)   So, as I say, I had a nice time last year that I was planning on going back this winter (when it is a little cooler) Now that I have read here about Manny and Ezekial's guys (I swear it sounds almost to good to be true!) I am really looking forward to it, I'm eyeing Feb 10-21 with both weekends in SD and maybe 3 days Mon-Thurs in Punta Cana. Is 3 days enough in Punta Cana? I haven't read much about Ezekial's guys here there so think of keeping the emphasis on SD.   When I finalize my plans and buy my tickets, probably next week I will contact them and start browsing the possibilities. Are there any must-haves that I should definitely not miss?? Any ones in particular I should start with?(all other things being equal, I would say to start with the guys who have more beautiful faces but are not quite so XXL and work my way up to the guys who are pure XXL dick plays. My preference is for guys who are open to slow penetration that lasts a long time (some pounding at the end is cool), and who are open to making out. Prefer taller to shorter, but flexible. I hope it is ok to ask, do any of them bareback, it's by no means necessary but all other things being equal, I do prefer it (The trip report from Arabcreamer suggests yes)    So, thanks again guys for any and all suggestions!

Cont’d:
117 on Tuesday 25th Jan:
The place was fully, literally fully, packed. There were people jammed everywhere, in the change room, in the bar, the corridor, toilets and so many people standing on the stairs. There was no away to move without bumping into someone’s dick, arse, arms, legs or chest. There was no room to sit/stand in both inside and outside bars. Half clients and half garatos. Wall to wall muscle is back and more. 
 
It was a free-suite day on Tue for 117. I estimated about 200 people in the sauna, but upon chatting with reception, I was told 500 admissions for the night. 
 
In the previous few days there were certainly much less turnout than this. More garatos than clients I can see, approximately 50 in total on Sat and Sun.
 
Ran into the bodybuilder C again, and he complained that he had to wait and work later as it was impossible to get a suite with the long queue. We were both squeezed into the middle of the airconditioned bar without being able to move out freely. We had each other watch the stool when one needed to go out hunting. Loud music with people dancing and drinking squashed all together, more like night club the Week rather than a cruising place. 
 
The stunner G turned out and caught me in the change room. A big hug and a kiss on the cheek, then disappeared as two of his friends were hailing at him, together with a client behind both. G went to join the group grabbing the two young guys crotch while making jokes. The four quickly disappeared without even changing into towels. I did not get to see them again.
 
I left after an hour, and C went to work. He had 2 clients that night as he later told me.
 
202 on Wed 26 Jan
Free suite on Wed at 202. I learned my lesson for not turning up too early fearing the crowds. At 10pm when I arrived it was not too busy. This 27 yo Branco V appeared and offered his service. I saw him at 117 before and liked him but did not have a chance to meet up. I told him I was interested but later, as I wanted to check the place out first. After 5 minutes he stopped in front of me again declaring that I had seen everyone here and he was the hottest guy tonight, with a big smile and huge confidence. I agreed. Beautiful face and pecs and abs, probably skipped a few leg days but still a perfecto. We finished with big smiles. Again R200 with gozar. He gave me his “written” consent for his faceless photo published here:
 
The steam room was hot and enjoyable. When I was having my beer there are 2 guys caught my eye. One is Pedro, the other a Branco with bald head but really handsome face and a sculptured body. I started to think V might be a bit over confident. 
 
Pedro joined me for a Stella. A 24 yo total muscle mountain with a beautiful face and mucho but sweet personality. He is advertising online, from Salvadore, 4 more days in town. We planned to meet up tomorrow at 117.

Trip Report Rio de Janeiro - Jan 2022
 
This forum has helped me over the years and I have made good friends with members. I did not write trip reports in the past simply because I am neither a good story teller, nor a native English speaker so please excuse my grammar.
 
Pre-departure Covid Test:
With well-known problems of PCR turnaround time elsewhere, the Histopath test centre at Sydney airport emailed me result in 1.5 hours. On their website it says they only accept same day testing but the sign onsite indicates within 24h time frame. 
 
Flights:
From Sydney to Rio. Flight options are limited at this time with Qantas/Latam not operating SYD-AKL-SCL route. Options are AA, UA, DL, EK and QR. Flight time 30-40 hrs. I chose United Polaris class at A$6,084 return, with 2 stops in SFO and IAH. One stop options with EK or QR cost double.
 
The hard products of United is at best industry average. The impressive aspects are their people – handsome (of course competent) pilots, hard-working flight attendants and pleasant check-in agents. Missed all Polaris lounges as they are far from my connecting gates. The united clubs are very basic with no showers.
 
The united website/app is impressive too with Travel Ready Centre including all up to date requirements and you can upload documents for pre-approval.
 
Documents:
Vaccine certificate and negative PCR result thoroughly checked at check in counter. After that no one in San Francisco, Houston or Rio even asked to see it. Notable change is US immigration, no more big machines scanning passports and printing ugly photos, only a single immigration officer greeting you and stamping your passport.
 
Airports:
No queues in Sydney, SFO, or GIG. I tend to be the first at immigration. Almost empty airports, but the United clubs have quite a few people, about half wearing masks. I don’t like crowded places so enjoyed the experiences.
 
Rio in general:
There is no difference from pre-pandemic in Rio except everybody is wearing a mask, mostly cloth masks, a few surgical masks and rare N95/P2. Shops and restaurants are full and people look happy. Music and dances at night everywhere. The football boys in front of my window are still playing after midnight along the beach. 
 
117:
I landed on Saturday morning. Went to 117 on Sat, Sun and Tue. The place is busier even than March 2020 when I was there before I fled when Australia closed its border. There are many new boys and quite a few familiar faces. The staff are always friendly.
 
There was one client who wears a mask. I noted a GP also worn a mask on Tue. No one else does.
 
On Sat, I met the bodybuilder guy C, 27 yo now who I knew from previous trips. He is not very tall but has an amazing body and a pretty face. He is not as bulky as before which I did not really like too much (now off steroid in between competition) and a 7” cock which I like (I could do better at the end of the Brazil trips but not at the beginning). He was boring in the past but what an improvement he has made during the pandemic. He will kiss you and rub his face on your chest like a cute puppy and now he can suck dick like a pro, with a rock-hard cock cumming a lot in me without forgetting to pose in front of the mirror. He has won silver and bronze in bodybuilding competitions according to his Instagram.
 
I met J next, a 25 yo carioca. Beautiful face but boy next door type body. I cannot resist his deep voice and his sexy winks. He has an average dick but an enthusiastic fucker. He did not want to bottom but he did let me put a finger in his arse. I came at the end while he was fucking me.
 
Before I left a pretty boy P appeared in the change room. He showed me his impressive cock disproportion to his body size. We agreed to meet on Sunday.
 
P did not turn up on Sunday, as usual for any promised made in Sauna, instead I met this hunk with a face like an Italian super model. Those eyes.
 
I was quoted R$200 for all these encounters, a R$50 rise compared to my previous trips. I would like to think it is due to inflation rather than guys trying to rip off foreigners. With this price tag I then ask for their gozar without bargaining for lower. They explained all sorts of reasons that it wil cost more but eventually all agreed on my price. 
 
The Italian model-like guy warned me his gozar would require a finger in his arse and I promised to oblige. It turned out he needs a fist. I came in his massive arse and really enjoyed the encounter. We both sweated like pigs.
 
202:
On Monday 117 is closed or it's lady night, I went to 202. It was packed. I saw this 22yo tall guy G with an amazing body, tan complexion and exotic eyes standing in front of the bathroom, my heart stopped. I had not had that feeling since I turned 21. I tried to carry out a conversation (via google translate) but he was very cold. He told me he was waiting for a client “fixo” and he is very expensive. At this time I was prepared to do anything and asked him quantos, he said R$200. I almost laughed and offered to wait and he agreed. 
 
This rugged masculine bad guy M sat next to me when I was waiting for G. M had real six packs and beautiful legs like an anatomical specimen. Seeing still no hope with G I went with M, again R$200 with gozar. M was average for performance with an average dick but I enjoyed his body. His muscles looked amazing when he came. 
 
G was smoking in the upstairs bar when I exited with M. I did not know if his fixo client turned up but soon G was fully clothed and saw me on his way out. He was warm and gave me a big smile and hug followed by a big kiss. I turned my head away as I can still taste M’s cum on my tongue and did not want to pass onto him. He asked me if I were going to Posto 8 tomorrow as he was going, and we both agreed to meet tomorrow at 117. 
 
To be continued. 

I’ve got a debt of gratitude to all my fellow forum posters.   The knowledge and tales you’ve shared have really been helpful.     I’ll try not to bore you with unnecessary details but I’d like to share my experience in this first trip to Brazil 
 To start, I’m glad I even got here.   With omicron seemingly everywhere I was concerned about getting a negative test for the flight.   Equally concerning is traveling with so many flight cancellations left and right.    To recap what others have said, I needed proof of vaccine, a negative Covid test within 72 hours (PCR test) or an antigen test within 24 hours, a health document filled out and printed within 24 hours as well.     The entire process was smooth on American Airlines part and when I arrived at passport control in Rio he just causally glanced at my vaccine card but didn’t ask for any other documents.   
 
I haven’t traveled internationally in a couple of years and I feel rusty.   I didn’t account for my flight arriving at 730 am and my Airbnb wouldn’t be ready till 3pm.   So I ended up booking a hotel room in Copacabana.   I should have booked the entire previous day to ensure my room was ready.  But it’s all good.    I took Uber from the airport.   One curiosity I’ve had to learn (at least from the airport context) is communication with your driver prior to pickup.   They need confirmation or something via text.   There was miscommunication and I had a few drivers drop the transaction until a lovely lady picked me up.   Uber prices are cheap so I went “upscale” and booked Uber black because it was apparent the moment I exited the doors that winter was behind me and I needed air conditioning.    For what it’s worth my Uber black car was just a non old Honda Civic.  Perfectly capable and acceptable for the price though.  
 
Despite the relatively mild temps, the humidity here is killing me.  It will take a few days to adjust to the weather.  But it feels good to be back in a real city.  The vibe on the street at first appears to be really relaxed and chill.   And my god, Every third guy is my type of guy.   Splitting my time between working in Alaska and holidays at home in Ohio with my family, I encounter very few gay guys and very few that are my type.   
 
I took a long long nap once I got my room and decided to check out Pointe tonight for a little bit.    Let me tell you, it’s like paradise.  There were two dozen guys that easily fall within my type there and I really tried not to bite on the first guy that came around.  It was kind of overwhelming and I’m positive I stuck out like crazy.    I didn’t change into sauna attire as I wasn’t going to be out late tonight but I’ll probably partake in the whole experience tomorrow.  I tell you what I find really endearing, all of the guys seem to be very sincere.  I know that of course it’s a market setting and that  transactions are the goal, but I cant help but be enamored by the gentle yet masculine spirits I encountered.  It’s just really nice.    I hooked up with a super cute guy from Salvador and it was money and time well spent.  Like most of the guys there he had a very nice dick and was a wonderful kisser.   I’m telling you all, this is a Las Vegas buffet but for handsome guys with big dicks.  The three guys I talked to the most asked from 150-200.   My guy wanted 150 and I added a 50 tip on top of that.    
 
It was a good experience.   My lack of Portuguese is a negative though.   I used translation apps to eeek out a conversation but it’s awkward.   This might be a wonderful excuse to spend a few months here taking language classes in my off season.   

In many ways today was a reminder of why I love to travel.   Being in new cultures far from home, away from the normal comforts you cultivate in your home county is a challenge.   It’ll take a few days or a week to get back into my travel mode life.  Especially after our winters of Covid discontent. 

I’m going to end this here because a guy named Lucca just wrote me on Grindr.   You can’t say no to a guy named Lucca.   
 

Hi Guys,
I've been busy for a while and writing doesn't come that easy for me. For those of you who are interested:
Let me clarify the situation with my friend first. He is 53 and believe it or not, he doesn't pay for sex. I've known him for 20 years and this never changed. For people who are used to paying for sex, it might come as a surprise that a 53-year-old can have so many young guys, but he really can. I've seen boys follow him from Asia to Europe at their own expense. When he goes to Thailand, he goes to meet Chinese boys. These guys have their own money. He is always very clear about the money part. He usually gets his boys through the apps during the day and at night he goes out to drink and then sleep alone. I am the opposite.
Back to Cuba... I read @macdaddi 's post about $15 for a night out in Cuba. This is not my experience. Cuba is crazy expensive in more ways than one. But I can not speak for other people's experiences.
Day 2 was a Friday. In the daytime, we didn't do that much. At night Blondie came to pick us up to go to Pico Blanco. We had to pay some kind of entrance fee and then with the elevator to the top floor. I remember that the room was rather big with a single bar. There was a stage with many tables and chairs in front. We decided to sit at the right side of the stage but as far back as possible. I don't think it was overly expensive compared to the other places I've been to in Havana.
It was not busy when we entered but there were some cute guys. One was my friends' type and he didn't waste time going after him. I stayed at the table drinking with Blondie till my friend came back with the boy. He was cute, had light skin, short straight dark hair, and a tongue piercing. Ugghhh, I'm not into piercings. The worst is when they have a nose ring.
The boy, whose name I don't remember was very nice. He spoke fluent English and was interesting to talk to. In the meantime, the place filled up and Camilo also walked in. If you remember, he was the guy I met a night before and planned to meet this night in Pico Blanco. He looked just as cute as the night before. I invited him to come and sit next to me and we had some drinks. Around that time the show also started but that is all a blur to me now. I only remember that we had fun and we went in a group in an old Caddilac (could have been a chevy) to Mixto.
Mixto was as much fun as the night before. After a while, Camilo came to me and asked why I wanted a threesome. I was not sure what he meant. i told him that I wasn't interested in a threesome. Then he told me that Blondie had asked him duhhhh... yeah, I had asked Blondie to find a boy, but obviously not a boy that I was already on a date with.
Elian was in Mixto, too. HE WAS PISSED! And I don't mean drunk. As I said, he was 27 but looked very young and he was very small too. He was just cursing at my friend, who had dumped him the night before.   I spoke to Elian a couple of times that night. He was intelligent and also fluent in English. He explained that he had dated my friend a couple of days prior, and he was disappointed that my friend went with so many other boys. This is really the story of the 20 years that I've known my friend. I lost count of how many boys came to me with the love problems they had with my friend. Pretty amazing! Especially when you know how many really nice boys he just dumped. Again, not one time was it about money. To be honest, this second day is hard for me to recall. Camilo went home with me and I did have a little crush. He had a perfect face and a perfect body... a great night. Besides this, no major crazy things happened. I think it all started to get crazy from day three.
I might write about day three when I have a few drinks. Somehow it's easier to remember those things after a few :-)

I'm not good at telling stories but I can try recollect a much information as possible.
That first night i arrived late. My friend had already spend a week in Havana, so when I arrived I took a taxi straight to the Airbnb. I must have arrived at there between 09.30 PM and 10:30 PM. We stayed a couple of hundred meters from Mixto.
After bringing up my suitcases, I took a shower, got dressed and we were on our way. We walked from from the apartment the long way around via the Malecon to the intersection of Infanta (where Las Vegas is) and Avenida 23. This place was crazy. There were literally hundreds guys hanging around there. This was such a shock but at the same time a very pleasant surprise. I mean, all types of boys were present there. Darker skinned, lighter skinned, older, younger, slim, slim fat, muscled and so on. Many groups had their own drinks with them and were just having a good time. It was very easy to make contact and guys often walked up to us to say hello. A heads-up, while there is always gay activity at night around that intersection, I've never seen it as busy as in mid August 2019.
We only stayed about 30 minutes and flagged down a taxi to take us to that restaurant bar I was talking about. I will have to ask my friend (if anyone is interested) the name because I really don't remember. What I will never forgot is it's location. It was in the middle of a normal neighborhood. It was a quiet backstreet with villas, or at-least bigger size houses, no flats.  The music was booming, and I don't know how that was allowed.
Anyway, we went inside and my friend might have paid an entrance fee for us. The doorman let us in and when we walked through the gate we came into a courtyard already full with people. This was the outside section with seating on the left, on the right side of that people were standing. Even more right people could walk up and down and on the most right was a section with a back drop were you could take pictures. it was like you see on those red-carpet events. Just a backdrop with some advertising on it. We actually spend most of our time standing there. Unintentionally, I might ad, but it was a great place because everyone would take their picture there and many people asked us to be in their pictures.
Because I've only been there 1 time, I cannot tell you if this was a special event. This night however, which was on a Thursday was busy and fun. Someone approached us when we entered to stick a number on our chest. I'm really doing my best to remember how it worked but COVID-19 really did a number on my brain. I think you could write notes, or maybe even leave notes somewhere, or buy a drink for someone. Honestly, I can't remember. 
There were two bars if memory serves me right. One of them was in the outside area and the other inside. We met interesting Cuban guys but also a guy from Scotland. Honestly, it was to early for me to feel as comfortable with everything as I did from the second day. Actually, you could say until I was drunk that night. You must know, I lived in Luton, England at that time and it was quit a culture shock, straight out of the plane. We had a good time, did a lot of flirting and many guys flirted with us. Nevertheless, we didn't stay long because we had other places to see. We got into a taxi and were off to mixto.
For those of you who like dark skinned muscle boys, you will love the doormen at Mixto. Besides great bodies, some of them were extremely good looking. it is my understanding that these guys are straight, but don't pin me on that. I'm not sure how to explain this, but the entrance to Mixto is very interesting. The doormen our outside. When they let you in, you first have to go up one or two steps. Then you have 2 or 3 meters to the door. That outside space i also a couple of meters wide. You were not allowed to bring glasses there but you could put you drink in a plastic cup, and take it there. Why is this important? It was were we spend a lot of time. People who smoked (not us) could have a sig there and it was a great please for chatting. I noticed that they don't always have plastic cups on subsequent visits. My advice, bring one if you like to hang around outside.
Anyone, it was early for Mixto standards when we came in. When you open the door, there is a black curtain that you have to go through. My friend took the lead and I followed. On the right side of the door (inside) was a boy standing alone. He must have been 23. Funny, I never asked him his age. But yeah, he was a bit manly, but other than that he was handsome enough. His hair was dyed blond, something that looked really good on him.
My friend kept walking and I followed him. Mixto is not that big and the bar is immidiatly at the left. My friend ordered drinks and it came as no shock that they spoiled mine. I don't like lime in my drink at all. Normally when they put a lime in accidentally, you can just take it out. It will still taste of lime a little but it's drinkable. In Mixto however, they poor lime juice in and that make a Cuba Libre undrinkable for me. Great, I had a reason to contact the boy. he was standing there without a drink so I went over and gave him mine. I just asked him if he wanted it, he said yes, I gave it and walked away again. First contact was made and he seemed to be pleased. This is also they guy I took home later that night, but before that, there were many hours of fun with other guys.
Across the street from Mixto is a small park. At a certain moment I went outside to look around. I had just arrived in Cuba and i wanted to see a little more than clubs. There were also many guys sitting in the park and that might have played a roll to for my eagerness to get out there. Making contact was extremely easy especially as I had a little more to drink now. As I understood, most of the boys outside couldn't get into Mixto. It was fun flirting with them and I'm sure I could have taking a couple of them home. At that time, I already knew that I wanted the blond guy.
After some good chats I went back inside and met someone who would be my date for the next night. I don't feel comfortable with sharing names so let call him Camilo. My god, he was a student and lived a couple of hundred km from Havana. Like many other guys he was on a summer holiday. He was short, had a great body and eyes to die for. He looked a younger than that he was. If i remember correctly he was 21, but he looked like he was 18. We agreed to meet the next day in Pico Blanco, a club in the penthouse of a hotel that had gay nights on Friday. Sadly, it's closed a few months after my first visit.
Back too Blondie! If you've never been to Cuba, you have to know that boys are very pushy when it comes to asking for drinks. You would almost think they are getting paid a commission. Where I am used to feeling lucky if a boy likes to drink and party in some Asian countries, in Cuba, I had no such worries. Blondie would feel no shame in asking me for drinks. Actually, that first drink I gave him he must have drank under protest. After that, I've never seen him drink anything else but beer. When Blondie would get a beer, he would always offer a sip to his friends when they walked by. Mixto was full of guys who just didn't have drinks. Not weird, if you consider that they were not cheap. Again, i am not sure but I think 4 or 5 CUC. Which is crazy if you think of it. On the other hand, Mixto is so small that cheap drinks might attract too many people. There were also some big spenders who would have a table near the dance-floor or upstairs on the balcony. They would have one or more bottles of hard liqueur in front of them.
I already feel like I am writing a book so I'll try to finish the story of my first night. i really cannot say how many boys I've spoken with and who were very willing to go home with me. It was truly insane. It's not that Cuba was my first rodeo. Other than the Thai gogo/ host bars and clubs like DJ station, I've not often seen. maybe Cabaret Tito in Mexico city in the early 2000, but I was at my peak myself what looks and age is considered. So yeah, Havana was something really special and it brought back feelings I hadn't had for many years. Even I wanted to, I couldn't recall all the things that took place that night. There was a lot of flirting, kissing (openly), ass grabbing and hands that disappeared in trousers.
Ugh, I wanted to end this but I just realized what else happened when we went home. There is a whole story that leads up to this but I want to keep it short. My friend was talking to a guy (Elian) and I told him I was going home with blondie. He said he would go home too. LOL, so drunk me invited Elian that he was talking too to come with us. Elian agreed and we started walking. Like i said, it was only a few hundred meters to our apartment so a few minutes later the four of us were sitting in our living room. Elian was 27 years old. He looked no day over 21 and maybe even younger. We had some drinks and i asked if they would like some chocolate, and both said yes. I'd bought a lot of treats because I knew about the situation in Cuba. My friend told me to bring toilet paper and treats.
When came back with a big Cadburry bar, Elian grabbed it and put it in his pocket. Yeah, he wasn't sharing that bad boy, lol. Blondie had a disgusted look on his face and he wasn't wrong. i told him that I would give him some later in my bedroom. That's basically were we went after that. I already had taken a shower and when blondie was in the shower there was some noise coming from the hallway. Elian was standing their naked and my friend was telling him to leave. This is not the first time this had happened to my friend. in fact, he very often invites boys but then asks them to leave very quickly. I had forgotten that I was the one who invited Elian, but this was something i would be reminded of in the days to come. Anyway, he got kicked out.
I just went back to my room where blondie just came out of the shower. Nice body but a little bit bigger (not fat) than what I normally go for. He was top, which i am too, so that didn't fit. Actually, I didn't mind. He had a big tool to play with and he was a passionate kisser. That night, I already decided that I wanted a threesome with him and a bottom. I told him as much and also that he should find the bottom, this gets interesting if there will be a sequel to this post. The same goes for the stories with Elian.
Blondie stayed the night, and I normally don't like that. We woke up in the afternoon. I can't remember if there was another session but when he left, I gave him some chocolate and 20 CUC. He thanked me and left. Now, I had no idea what to give him. I didn't want to give too much and not to little. What I understood from what doctors made in Cuba, 20 CUC would be more than enough. After visiting there on multiple occasions, I am still not sure. Boys never complained and never asked for money, other than the ought CUC for phone credit or taxi. Now don't think I'm cheap. it's just that i didn't have the normal John experience when I was in Cuba. For example, my friend doesn't pay for sex and his boys kept coming back because there was actually no money needed. I'd rather pay to be honest.
These were just some of my memories of the top of my head. I am not sure what you are specifically interested in. Some might want to hear more about the sex, personally, I think that I shared more than I normally would :-)
Lastly, I wrote this and I'm not going to Grammar or spellcheck. People who have a hard time dealing with this kind of writing will have to suck it up, hehe.
