Very good idea !

If you mean French Antilles, the gay life is non existing there. Partly because of the low number of people living in each island (cca 400.000) and because gay is not really accepted. In Sint Marteen (Saint Martin is the name of the island on the French side) there are some adult places but only women for men.

I will be in Brazil from March 20 until April 24. Starting in Rio. Planning to be in Recife/Olinda around mid April

Did you go to these lapdances places ie SX and Scandalo ?

As usual barmen seem to be quite sexy men ...

The ‘gayborhood’ in San Juan is on the other side of the highway from the traditional tourist areas of Condado and Ocean Park. Its an easy 10-15 minute walk from most hotels to the three main clusters of bars, discos and bathhouse located in the Santurce Arts & Culture District. Gay Bars in San Juan’s Condado Tourist Area: Although Condado used to be the center of all gay nightlife, over-gentrification has left the traditional tourist strip with only one remaining gay bar. But don’t worry – its a short walk under the highway to the Santurce Arts District where all the action continues just a 10 minute walk from Condado hotels. #11. Oasis (formerly Splash) – 6 Ave Condado across from the Marriott, next to Sandy Beach Hotel. Monday night is very popular with lots of strippers, low lights and much too much artificial smoke/fog/yuck… Look for Walgreens and CVS and walk toward the beach. Open afternoons til night. Neighborhood bar and tapas restaurant just a few steps to the beach. Atlantic Beach Hotel/Oceano Restaurant Beach – Also check out the beach in front of Atlantic Beach Hotel and Oceano Restaurantwhich is still very gay most days. Two blocks from Oasis (formerly Splash) if walking on the beach. Look for Calle Vendig if arriving via Ashford Avenue. The Atlantic Beach Hotel is listed in many gay guides – but call them and ask if you will be allowed to bring a friend up to your room – in the past, travelers have reported a strict ‘no visitors’ policy. Street Cruising – Lots of gay guys and gals live in Condado – so cruise along Ashford Avenue any time of day or night! Gay Bars and Clubs in Santurce Arts District: If you are at any of the Condado hotels – you can get to the Santurce Arts District by just crossing over or under the highway. There are three clusters of gay bars in the Santurce Arts District: Stop 18 at R.H. Todd Ave & Ponce de Leon Ave near the Metro Theater and Museum of Contemporary Art. Stop 22 is further down Ponce de Leon Ave at the intersection of De Diego Ave near the Fine Arts Center & Puerto Rico Museum of Art. Stop 24 is another 7-10 minute walk near the the intersection of Ponce de Leon and Calle Bolivar or Calle San Jorge. You can easily walk between each of the areas in about 10 minutes or grab a taxi. Note: ‘Stops’ or ‘Paradas’ are how locals estimate location along Ponce de Leon Avenue in the Arts District. This is a remnant from the old trolley system which hasn’t run since the 1940’s. There are no signs with the numbers (even at the bus stops) but all locals and taxi drivers will understand the general location from the ‘stop’ or ‘parada’ number. Santurce: Stop 18 Gay Bars – across the highway from Condado near Metro Theater & Museum of Contemporary Art. These are on Calle Condado (mislabeled Avenida Condado on the street sign) which is one block to the right if you are facing the Museum of Contemporary Art. The street has abandoned buildings and looks very seedy – but is generally safe. If someone approaches you just say ‘No Thanks’ and move on, just like you would in NYC. There are also a few straight bars on the block, so be careful and don’t assume everyone is gay – use your ‘gaydar’ and be respectful. If taking a taxi – just tell them ‘Stop 18’ and then go one block to the bars. #6. SX – 1204 Ave Ponce de Leon – Late night strippers and dance every night. Find the stainless steel door (usually with a doorman) and then go downstairs. There is a straight bar just next door at street level, so don’t get confused. Hot bartenders, strippers, loud music, dance floor in the front. Go upstairs at the back and then downstairs to find the darker, less noisy ‘hang-out’ area. #7. VIP – 613 Calle Condado – Very popular with the young Reggaetón and hip-hop crowd. Starts late and stays open after the other bars have closed. Same building as Scandalo but closer to Ponce de Leon. #8. Scandalo – 613 Calle Condado – late night strippers and more. #9. El Chinchorro de ‘W’ – Calle Condado on the block before Circo. New gay bar and snacks with great Happy Hour prices. Very popular late night! #10. Circo – 650 Calle Condado – Multi-level video bar and disco. Mansion Lounge – this is a straight bar in the middle of all the gay action on Calle Condado.KRASH Disco – 1257 Ave Ponce de Leon (next to Metro Cinema). Closed permanently for several years, but is still in many guides – so we’ve listed it for reference only Santurce: Stop 22 Gay Bars: Across the highway between the Fine Arts Center & Puerto Rico Museum of Art. If taking a taxi, tell them Ponce de Leon & Ave. De Diego – Santurce. #4. Tia Maria Bar & Liquor Store – 326 Ave De Diego – Neighborhood Gay Bar. Open from afternoon til midnight or 1am on weekdays, later weekends. Make sure you go on Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday nights for gay Karaoke from about 9pm until ??? #5. The Palace – 1501 Ave Ponce de Leon (2rd Floor) – 2nd floor disco and rooftop bar/terrace. Just around the corner from Tia Maria. Update April 2, 2016: They have now put up a new sign saying ‘Coming Soon’ and the entrance around the corner has a notice ‘Coming Soon’ as Papi’s Club… so not sure what will emerge… I’ll update as soon as I get info… Santurce: Stop 24 Gay Bars: This is the intersection of Ponce de Leon and Calle Bolivar. If you arrive from Ocean Park via Calle San Jorge, go past the San Jorge Children’s Hospital and up the hill to San Mateo Church. Then only one short block downhill to Ponce de Leon. If walking along Ponce de Leon from Tia Maria and The Palace, you go past the Ciudadela Condo Complex, First Bank, Arrivi Theater, Cobian’s Plaza (turn right for Temptation) and some vacant buildings until Abracadabraand Hotel San Jorge (for Zal Si Puedes). If taking a taxi, tell the driver ‘Stop 24’ at Leonardo’s or Cobian’s Plaza & walk one block. Bartender Angel at Temptation! #1. Temptation – 608 Calle Bolivar – Just one block from Cobian’s Plaza (3 blocks from Tia Maria and The Palace). Club is open from 9pm every night with Happy Hour Specials (see below for details). No cover charge. Everyone is welcome! Weekly Drag show at 2am on Saturday night! Temptation is easy to get to from all major hotel areas by taxi, driving (plenty of free street parking in the area) or even by walking from Condado/Ocean Park or a short walk from the other bar areas. www.temptationpr.com Happy Hours EVERY NIGHT at Temptation! #2. Zal Si Puedes – 1700 Ave Ponce de Leon. Small, friendly club catering to the 40+ crowd. Open Wednesday – Sunday nights from about 10pm til about 2am. Drag shows are mostly Thurs – Sat nights about 11:45pm but a diva may show up at any moment. Friendly and Fun! Located at Hotel San Jorge. The bar has seating for about 15 people – but often has up to 50 crowded in for shows plus spill-over on the street. You’ll see all the classic Latina Divas – like La Lupe, Yolandita, Paloma San Basilico, plus Barbara Streisand and Donna Summers thrown in if you’re lucky! #3. Xteamworks – 1752 Ave Fernandez Juncos. Bathhouse on second floor open from 6pm til about 2am Sunday – Thursday and until 6am on Friday and Saturday nights. A little hard to find, so check out their website for map. It’s next to a gas station with 24 hour mini-mart and upstairs from a sign store. Look for the doorbell next to the steel mesh gate on the right side of the ground floor entry. Very discrete from the street – very hot once you get there! Too far to walk home, so make sure that they help you call a taxi back to your hotel – or head back to Zal Si Puedes (two blocks away) or Temptations (four blocks away) and continue the fun! -------------------------------------------------------- From a recent gay guide on san juan. Pretty exciting ...

I will be visiting San Juan this month during an extended week end. Any recent experiences anyone ? How many paper towel rolls should I bring ?

From previous post in May : Particularly for a newbie who does not speak Portuguese, you absolutely need to agree on what exactly will happen in the room and how much it will cost. I hate to have boys discussing additionnal fees in the room. And you have other things to do in the room than typing ... Some Key words : ativo/passivo : top/bottom (important to define exactly who is top and who is bottom. Many boys will tell you that they thought YOU were going to be passive and ask 50 R$ more for being passive thrmselves) chupar : to suck chupar o cu : to rim beijar na boca : to French kiss Foder : to fuck tomar duche juntos : to have shower together you will suck me without condom ? Vai chupar me sem camisinha ? will you cum ? Vai gozar ? In my mouth ? Dentro da minha boca ? On my face : em cima do meu rostro ?

Good advice, indeed. Arrive rather early and take your time in selecting aboy you really like. Take some time to "chat" with him even with translator. Some boys are very very friendly the first 5 minutes just to hook you up but then become bored and boring - as they are in the room - doing as little as possible ... Other mistake is to arrive late and wait until Mr Right arrives ... Then realizing that the good boys are no longer visible or are permanently in sessions, take any boy remaining ... Be as precise as you can on what you really want and make sure the boy understood and agreed (ativo=top / pasivo = bottom , rimming, suck without condom, French kiss .... Of course the translator is somehow limited when ot comes to translate porn slang expressions ... If you google translate :"can you take my amazing horse dick all the way up your butt ?" by what google proposes ie "você pode levar meu incrível pau de cavalo todo o caminho até sua bunda?". I am not sure of what you will get ... Avoid long and difficult text. Stick to the "me Tarzan you Jane" pattern : me Ativo. You passivo ? With the correct gestures ... Thence might avoid to have a huge hunk trying to force his 12 inch very thick dick up your ass ... to please you Enjoy your time in Rio !

"One of the cousins" fond memory of the good time and good boys in POA ... "3 Brazilians ... almost like Rio" yes but for the whole stay ! :-))

Interesting. What is the name he uses in the sauna and what does he look like (hunk, twink ...?).

I think I know to which boy Tomcal is refering to. There are not so many who have all the characteristics above (works in MR and 117, 20 years old, ...). I met this guy in 117 during my last stay. I met him the very last day unfortunately. He is stunning. Perfect body. Friendly. Good brains. Good education level and conversation. Since he is only active, I had a threesome with him so that I could see him fuck another cute lad. I was amazed by the size of his cock and the energy he put in fucking his buddy. We ended up DPing the passive who is another good looking guy, gay and enjoying being fucked by big tools. It was early in the afternoon - around 5 pm with not so many customers around. He did not want to go below 150 and I accepted of course. Since I was pleased, I tipped him in addition (even though he did not accept any foto to be taken during the session). I would have accepted 200 to have him in the 3some ! After the session, I saw him with other customers and I am not surprised at all by the figures given by Tomcal above. I will also avoid posting any picture ...

Was he Angelo, a guy from Venezuela who used to be massagista un Pointe 202 ? Offers session and professional massage. Great ! Even though Pointe increased significantly, I tend to prefer 117 or the variety of boys and cleanliness of the place

i al:ready visited Floripa a few years ago. No gay sauna with boys there. But many contacts from Grindr, including one guy that I met in the bushes above the nude beach ...

Met a couple of guys from Cuba in Johnson s in Fort Lauderdale yesterday. Both were gay and confirmed that gay activity has increased pretty much in the last years and that, compared to other South American countries, it was very safe to be in Cuba. Both dancers were very masculine, one of them, rather muscular with a hairy torso. I think I must plan a trip to Cuba ...

Are foreign visitors watched the same way ? Or even more carefully ?

Anyone know about saunas and gay places in this city ?

Same here. Willing to discover new places

Hot report as always.

Bogota One night stopover. Stayed in hotel 100 m from Gigolo Erotic House. Clean. A bit noisy. Very cute lad at reception. Not Hilton but sufficient when you arrive in the afternoon and leave very early next day. And cheap ... 69000 COP around 23 USD (3000 COP = 1 USD). Following Numazu s pieces of advice, I decided to go only to Gigolo House and not also to Teatron. I arrived around 8.30 pm. Boys arrive around that time also and change in the room. They only wear jock straps. That night there were around 30 boys of very different types. Many twinks. A few hunks. Striking difference between Brazil : boys are shorter including dickwise and do not have so many tattoes in general. Boys walk around the room and chat with customers (spanish only of course). They try to convince customers to take them to backrooms. There are only 2 backrooms which are in fact a very small place with only a chair. A curtain separates the mainroom from backroom which is in fact just a corner of the main room. Cost of dances in backroom is 50.000 COP (around 15 USD). This is for 20 minutes. Boys remove jock strap from beginning and do what you want. It is better to agree in advance but not compulsory. Fucking is 100.000 COP (30 USD). The curtain is not thick and at least from one backroom you can see all that happens in the room and vice versa I guess. 5 boys at a time dance on stage. Around 11 pm and then regularly in the night there are hardcore shows ie one boy coming on stage with a hard on and then displaying his tool that customers can touch or even play with for a tip. The performer passes in the room after the show to get tips from the audience. Life sex show around 1 am. Threesomes on Fridays. No guarantee of type and time of shows in fact : when I arrive, no one could confirm there would be a life show that night. Went with a few boys in the backroom and had some fun (cuddling) with some of them in the main room. A few guys were from Venezuela including a very good looking guy who was also masseur in Sauna saint Morritz where you can get more than a massage. Great time in this place. Worth a repeat. When I went from the hotel to Gigolo house around 8.30 pm there were almost no one in the streets but surprinsingly at 1.30 am there were people walking by, one restaurant was still open. Safe return to the hotel. Taxi hotel Airport : 20 minutes. 10 USD Drinks in Gigolo House cheat 2.5 USD the beer. Many contacts on Grindr including a guy from Medellin who stayed at same hotel and also went to Gigolo House. Too short a stay. Worth a longer visit to explore more.

There are many Oscar Niemeyer' Buildings around BH. Have you seen the administrative city ? It is on the road from the Confins Airport. Even the JK complex was designed by him

Thanks to both of you for pieces of advice ! I followed of course and took Belvitur bus from Holiday Inn hotel. We were lucky since weather was perfect. We managed an english speaking guide.

Thanks !

Sad to hear that. I was wondering if it was still worth going to Porto Alegre but i think I will skip

I understand that sauna St Morritz and Gigolo erotic house are in the same bulding. Correct ? How many massagistas are there in StMorritz ? Is any boy there a potential massagista, the word massagista being used to avoid "rentboy" ? Do you need to agree prior to massage on content and price as in Brazil ? Finally what is typical price for a massagista to bottom ? I must admit that I am sorry not to be in Bogota on a thursday nite with private shows, live interactive (whatever it means) sex shows and when I see the flier ...
