Hi 12is12 I've never experienced moneyboys at 24. I've had a few MBs offer their services in other cities around the world, but never in any sauna in Japan. Most people who go to 24 use the public area. It's cheaper (about USD$25) and there are plenty of semi-private spots, usually the bottom bunks because they are almost pitch black, and the shower room has some private stalls, some with glory holes and some completely private. While I've never paid for the private rooms in any of the 24's around Tokyo (there are 3 - Shinjuku, Ueno and Asakusa IIRC), I have hooked up with a few guys who cruised the public area and brought me back to their private room. You can get a few people here or there who will paw at you while you're fooling around with someone in the public area, but it's usually not a big problem. I never felt the need to splurge for a private room. I'm looking forward to hearing about your trip. Please let me know how you like it.

The best sauna for foreigners is probably "24". There are several locations, but the best is the Shinjuku location. Ueno is pretty good too. I've had lot's of fun at both. The one in Shinjuku is just soooo conveniently located. in the heart of the gayest area in Tokyo! haha I've never used King of College but I used Tokyo Kids once. The guy who was working the entrance spoke English and he was available, but I ended up choosing another guy. I went in prepared and had a few of my wants/likes translated so my expectations for the encounter were relatively clear. Being able to communicate is nice but I wasn't there for conversation either! I recommend KOC or Tokyo Kids if you're short on time or if you are after something specific and you don't want to waste time. Otherwise, going to 24 (or another sauna) or using an app like Grindr will be more rewarding. You might have to do some "hunting" but you will have a lot of fun. 24 has a lot of variety (Japanese bears as well as twinks, younger and older guys, along with many foreigners), plus you have the shower and steam rooms, group rooms and private rooms (those cost more though). The group rooms have open spaces, which can be fun and even lead to orgies, but there are "bunk bed" style play areas in the group rooms that offer a little more privacy - not so much on the top but the bottom bunks are very dark. I can't comment on Kyoto. I only did a day trip there from Osaka to enjoy the sights.

No worries. I understand what you mean. I did have a guy in Bangkok who was clearly straight and wanted to watch str8 porn to get off. While it was a bit disappointing, I knew prior to hiring; sex wasn't the primary motivation behind the hire (that's a story for another day lol). And the prices are rising too. It's frustrating when the going rate for an erotic massage is around the price I used to pay (and still can pay in many cases) for the "full experience". And I'm not talking about the high end spas either. The little spas with no amenities, a ratty towel and a trickling shower have guys who want 1500-2000 Thai Baht for a bad massage and a handjob. It's definitely "buyer beware" out there. I've had several guys promise they can do "everything I want, no problem" (and I'm clear in advance, too) but when we start the action, things change. It's only happened a couple of times but it's still annoying. For the most part, I've had great experiences though. I've learned a lot in my travels and I tend to be very clear in my expectations. I even have a document on my phone that has pics and descriptions in English (for me!) and several other languages (French, Spanish, Japanese and Thai at this point) to show the guy what I'm into.

I went to Jupiter about 15 years ago with my bf at the time who was a very shy closeted guy at the time. He was so shocked to see a guy play a slide whistle with his ass. lol I hadn't returned to Jupiter in years but just went on my last trip. The guys were very cute and in shape - 6 pack abs and everything. However, as others have stated here, there were women in the club too, which is a turn off for me too. I guess with their location a bit hidden, they need all of the customers they can get. I think a lot of the guys there are straight too, so they seemed to cater more to the women. I'm not that interested in going back.

I've gone to Bangkok probably a dozen times in the last 15 years or so, including 2-3 times with my boyfriend (at the time). Of course, the solo trips were more fun in terms of experiencing the local boys. haha I can't say that I've noticed much of a difference in that time though. I usually have hired from the gogo bars but I've had good experiences in massage parlors and online (both free and paid). Had a great threesome with two boys from one of the gogo bars - mindblowing experience! And another great experience on the last day of my last trip - a very hot session with a Japanese guy there for business (Grindr hookup). It was the fantasy-cum-true experience of "my hotel door is open and I'm on my bed with my ass up for you"
