Maybe they went to dinner @Riobard? 9pm is the most popular time to eat dinner in Barcelona restaurants in the week. And actually it can be difficult to reserve dinner in a good restaurant later than 9pm…unless it’s on a Friday or Saturday night, or at the beach in Summer

You are being far too critical @PeterRS There are 3 major reasons why it will take some considerable time. The UK now has more job vacancies than unemployed people seeking work. Staffing at airports (with many functions being sub-contracted) is even more complicated than it is for airlines. In the UK, any new employee with access to the airport has to get a security clearance. This requires a check of the last 5 years employment history, with confirmation from each employer. As you may imagine, in the pandemic many employees left unpaid jobs and took alternative (and/or short-term) employment. Any failure to confirm a period of employment prevents security clearance being given. (Airlines did recently ask the UK Govt to relax this rule, but it refused.)

I’d be surprised if guys in Brazil and Colombia did not accept cash…unless they face a high risk of being robbed on their journey home. That has happened to a couple of guys I know in Argentina when they were traveling back to an outer suburb of Buenos Aires in the evening.

Glad to hear this. I always insist on my men being documented completely, preferably witnessed by a third party, before being fully notarised. How else can performance be guaranteed? 😎

I’ve no knowledge of the hotel, but the location is good. It’s also very handy for the Airport express bus. The square has the first/last stop from/to the Airport. Also, there is a good gym in the modernised bullring development. The area has decent cafes and in the side streets, there are a couple of good restaurants that are patronized by locals. A few years back, we ate dinner at one place while Juan Carlos, then King of Spain, was at the next table.

In various threads on BCN, when asked about the Axel, I’ve stated that I regard it as 2* star, possibly 3* if I’m being generous. The location is the best thing about it, but it has a pool and a largely gay clientele. l recommend this Catalan hotel-chain which has various good quality hotels at reasonable price-points (I’ve no personal interest in them) https://www.derbyhotels.com/en/hotels/hotels-in-barcelona/ My recommendation is based on having stayed many times at various of their 4* and 5* places (before I bought an apartment) and they were always excellent value. For those who don’t know about the official Spanish rating system, a hotel can only be rated 5* if it has (among other standards) car parking onsite (or very nearby) and employ porters to carry clients’ bags. Those things don’t matter to me so, like you @Slvkguy, a 4* hotel is great. The rating system is complex and Spain even introduced some years ago the grade of 4.5*

I’m no advocate of celibacy @young11 but as this is a nasty condition, I feel you’re wise to minimise contact. Perhaps this is the time to hire a well-regarded independent? I’d suggest you both take a shower before any interaction: that way, both of you will be reassured by the absence of a rash.

Thanks @floridarob I’ve used that line but I never knew its origin.

FWIW I agree with your basic analysis @Slvkguy but I feel that how the forum users divide is a very subjective matter. True. Don’t let them upset you. I just pay attention to what the ‘good guys’ post…and that includes you 😎

For me too @davet they are the most desirable of male companions. And if they are muscled and eager to bottom, I would be in heaven. Perhaps I spent too much of my youth in Southern California… All I know is that such rare guys were to be found in Prague but they often went to work in Zurich. Their habits may have changed. I hope others with expert, current knowledge will be along to advise you.

FWIW neither is my type…but it’s from BelAmi. I recognise the big-dicked rimmer. IIRC his working name is Joel Birkin. I don’t recognise the slighter guy so he might be BelAmi or Kinky Angels.

I guess it also depends on how quickly you get through Immigration & Customs. If there is a line of people awaiting processing, perhaps you can walk to the head of the line. If challenged, just say you have “a sauna emergency”. There shouldn’t be any argument but if there is, feel free to add that you are “sexually incontinent” and any delay may cause you to burst open. Good Luck @Canadianbtmguy

So are you two planning to put on ‘a show’? Unless you both are exhibitionists and like having voyeurs, why not just take a room at a love-hotel which rents rooms by the hour?

Not to dispute what you posted @Thomas_88 but BelAmi did a lot of filming using a studio in Bratislava and places in the country. I met and played with some BelAmi guys years ago and I was told this by them. IIRC there was some restriction imposed by BelAmi so that their videos were not available locally. It helped the working guys protect their identities and family life.

Lovely report @richard265 Thanks for taking the time to describe the experience so well.

Lots of attractive, masculine young Slovaks moved to London for work. I met several in the first decade of this century. All had fit athletic bodies, were compliant in bed, happy to bottom and swallow loads. I’ve kept in touch with a couple who now have office jobs.

Possibly. But not for certain. It’s normal practice in Latin America to check the ID of any unregistered person going to an hotel room. Just bear in mind that hotel staff have ALREADY seen EVERYTHING in their working lives. So live your life to the full and don’t worry about what others may, or may not, think.

IMO you’re really overthinking this @12is12. Just book double occupancy for your room in the hotel you prefer and ask Reception to check ID when you have a visitor. Don’t fret over the possible charge as it’s a VERY small price to pay for your security. BTW when do you visit Colombia.?

I’ve certainly used them in Buenos Aires, where hotels that rent by the hour are referred to as “telos”. And I know they exist in other cities. They are popular with heterosexual and homosexual couples. Conveniently located and clean, they offer a range of facilities but usually include a double bed, showers, towels, toothbrush & paste etc. I always just turned up with my guy and paid cash (as I’m wary of potential credit card fraud). Don’t abandon common sense, however, if you’re going with a stranger. Take minimal cash, leave valuables in your hotel room safe etc - I’ve heard 2x of guys getting robbed at knifepoint once in the room.

It’s not just a Colombian phenomenon @richard265 I found the same to be true in Argentina. After my first trip, when I dressed casually, I always dressed formally in Buenos Aires and I attracted a lot of guys. And, of course, having a big thick wallet doesn’t hurt 😊

Sad news. I feel it always pays to be wary when making assignations in areas of great economic inequality.

I feel that’s only sensible @partiamo1. FWIW I’m an older man too and I enjoy spending time with young men. I’ve travelled extensively for many years. During long stays, especially in Latin America and Africa, I’ve often been hit on by nice young men. Nothing may be said about money, but I understand that young men are hoping to improve their circumstances. So it pays to be generous. If I have fun, I take guys shopping for clothes etc the next morning. If I really hit it off with a guy and want to enjoy his company more, I suggest an all-expenses paid vacation. Many guys have not travelled outside their own country and they accept with delight. I’ve had some great times in return for being generous so I feel the older/younger dynamic works well when “mutual benefit” is the guiding principle.

Thanks for posting the link @tassojunior. For a young man, ‘Bruce’ already has quite a body of work, not to mention several aliases. From his photos on that link, I must say he does look very good with a stiff cock in his mouth.

He is cute. Let us know @tassojunior if you find his advert anywhere.

I agree he should be named. I have my suspicion about one poster that I’ve helped.
