If I agree, can we also agree to tax the money boy industry in Thailand as the same high level? After all, more guys in Thailand are infected with HIV based on their sex with men than in the porn industry in USA. So, the next time anyone goes to a bar, the new off fee will include a 2,000 USD surcharge. Oops..bye bye 90 percent of single gay men who visit or live in Thailand. Also, lets tax the fast food restaurants for all obesity related health issues. After all, it is their fault and not the individual. Right? And, now can we also tax the gun industry for each and every handgun death each year? Love it. Also, to get more money, I want to tax every single person with HIV that has sex with a person without HIV. Hell, lets just go ahead and tax gay men for all sexually transmitted related issues. Those queers just fuck and fuck and fuck and a tax would really teach them. Plus, we know they have the extra spending money as they don't have families. I am kidding on the above for those that don't see that. Actually, porn companies are required by law to cover worker's compensation and have insurance related to a whole plethora of other things. So if a workers gets hurt on the job in any way, they have a claim. I wish the same were true for bar boys in Thailand.

They don't agree. It was a small area in LA and it means that those companies if the law is enforced will simply move to another area like Long Beach or Palm Springs or San Francisco where they don't have those laws. It accomplishes very little in the end other than to highlight the law and move a billion dollar industry to another area.

Of course, a great deal has been said and discussed here at the porn convention in Vegas. Several companies I know are looking to relocate as some think this is just the first step into closing out the industry in So Cal.

Well, a voice that agrees with you at least. I realize that most of you disagree with me but I stand firm on belief that personal rights far outweigh any government intervention. I want the right to do with my body what I want. I want the ability to do anything with another adult that I want. I do not want the government to interfere with these things in any way. I have few if any exceptions for this. You will find bad people in the porn industry and you will find them in every other profession. You may bring up many examples of stories of people coerced to do something they prefer not to do for money. I just can't think of one example where this happens in Thailand. Can anyone? Can you? Think about it. Think. Humm. Humm. Bars? Bar boys? No, no, they love having sex with old men they don't find attractive. Wait, I have heard they love fat and old men. Really? You heard that? It must be true. Right. Right? NO It is not true. They don't enjoy it. They do it for the money. Anyone that doesn't believe that the chance for a better life (money) is involved in the equation is really in denial. The same in true in the porn industry. People do things for money. But, the ones I know and have talked to have always made their own choices. OK Michael, that is not fair you say. You are right. It may not be fair but it is true. I don't begrudge some guys for going to Thailand for the sex industry. It is what most go there for. I just don't like it when anyone tries to interfere with someone elses sexual desires with another adult. I hate it when someone who fucks bareback says that fucking a ladyboy is sick and perverted. Or, when someone that gets fucked by a ladyboy says that someone that eats pussy is perverted or when someone that hires escorts tries to judge someone else for dressing in drag and I could go on and one and on. What each of you do in the privacy of your bedroom with another adult is your business. What these guys in the porn company does is their business. It can be regulated by the local authorities but when that happens, don't think for one second that they will never come after you for what you do. Of course, all this is just my opinion and as my mother said, "opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one." I know this and I don't expect anyone to change their way of thinking based on my BS arguments. At the same time, you will not change mine based on yours. Good luck to the people in LA in getting this banned and I hope that the next thing they ban is prostitution. Wait. Sorry, that is already banned. But, IMHO, it should not be. I firmly believe that porn and the sex industry helps people to have stable mental conditions. If there were less oppression and more openness about sexuality there would be less sexual crimes. Again, just my opinion.

A very interesting article here to read for those interested in the subject. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/06/health/unlikely-model-for-hiv-prevention-porn-industry.html?pagewanted=all And, the guy on the top photo is James Deen. I spent some time with him last night and today. A very sweet man. Here is a photo I just took a few hours ago in Vegas.

I had too, but do you really think stopping videos in one local that deals with no condoms will see a cure for AIDS? It will not. And, for Vivid, I know the girls and guys in that company very well. They are HIV negative and test often. If that is your rationale for this, you are barking up the wrong tree. Now, if your rationale is that portraying this on video causes others to not use condoms when they have sex, all I can say is that I can't do half the things I see on videos and the other half I have no desire to do. But, I also can think for myself and judge what I want to do or not want to do with my partner. I don't need a video for teaching me anything. Anyone who is watching videos to teach them as oppose to entertain them, isn't really very smart. I do hope that gay rights are not taken away and I do agree with that this ordinance is not about the gays. However, it is about taking away someone's right to do what they want with their body on video. I could easily see the next law in this area as one that bans sale of any video with bareback sex in it. I can then easily see them banning any sex with a bear and a twink it is and then with any two gay guys. Give them an inch and they will take a mile! (and I am not referring to the NY inch)

Being at the Adult Novelty Expo is Vegas today, I saw a dildo that made me pause. The makers said it was pretty controversial when they came out with. I can see why.

I know the owner of Vivid and it is not only money he is concerned with. It is easy for them to pick up and move to another location as this "ordinance" is so very limited to that area of Cali. However, if you are only discussing what is in front of the camera, do you think that it is possible for those in charge to decide that gay sex is not acceptable and then pass an ordinance against that? I can tell you, that it is possible. If rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights are taken from us, it then opens up other rights to be the same. If you are OK with local municipalities making this law, are you OK with other areas stopping the production of all gay porn? It is done time and time again. My concern is the same as I had with NYC when the mayor started to clean up Times Square. IMHO, the things he did was unconstitutional but it made a big difference in the area. And, do you know what happened right after? He started to close down all the gay clubs in NYC as well. I remember this very vividly. When you allow any of these nuts to start dictating their morals to the population, you end up taking it up the ass yourself.

I spent some time today chatting up this cute guy. I knew I had no chance with him but as he was cute, I thought I would try. Then, I got inside the convention hall and he had his own booth. Who knew it was James Deen. Hottie!

Yes, I do doubt that. I thought he was talking about me to be honest. I love my dress up nights. But, don't get jealous Hitoallusa, I didn't wear my Jimmy Choo!

Now, NCBored, I know you are new around here but I didn't see any mention of the other site. MERmen is the name that was given this site by someone. Nothing to do with the other site. Perhaps you woke up on the wrong side of the bed today? better yet, just hire a cute guy to sleep on that side and you won't have to worry about that side anymore.

Well, why don't we just go ahead and outlaw sex without condoms? And, while we are at it, lets make blowjobs illegal too? When one right is encroached upon, others will then start to fall away. Vivid's founder does not want to see this happening. When two consenting adults decide, they wish to fuck and suck and do it with or without condoms or when they decide they wish to fist or bukkake or anything else they wish to do, I do not think the government has a place in that transaction. I know I am a great deal more liberal than most but IMHO the key is 2 consenting adults. Can't we just let them decide what is best for themselves? Yes, some make stupid mistakes, but we can't outlaw stupidity. You may decide that it is OK to have prohibitions on porn without condoms, but then when a prohibition against 2 men having sex on film is enacted, I bet you would be upset. I know I would.

My Own Private Idaho My Own Private Idaho is a quirky independent film that occupies a strange space in film history. It remains an important, if flawed film that effectively chronicles a sort of coming of age, even if the outcome is more tragic than self-reflective. Where this film really shines is in documenting just how far the world of male escorts has come over the past 20 years. Released in 1991 - well before the Internet would transform the escort world - the rent boys at the heart of this story live on the streets, barely scraping by, getting $20 a blow job and offering a second date free if the john will simply slip them an extra 10-spot. The authenticity that director Gus Van Sant brings to the film cannot be questioned as several of the boys featured in the film were actual street rent boys at the time. In fact, the most moving and evocative scenes in the film are when the camera stops the plot to simply interview these boys and let them tell their heartbreaking stories. Of course, the real tragedy here is that if these guys had only been born 20 years later they would have been able to go to the library, set up their own online profiles, find clients willing to pay them a reasonable amount, and have their own apartments rather than live on the streets. To watch the film in 2013 and know that this is not how their world had to be is completely unsettling, in a good way (and a very good public service advertisement for legalized, or at least organized, prostitution). The film's place in the history of cinema is fascinating. In 1978, Michael Cimino started a wave of introspective and dark independent films with his release of The Deer Hunter. That film's success would spawn a wide body of edgy, earnest and serious independent cinema that would last for more than a decade. My Own Private Idaho is, perhaps, the last important and commercially successful of this cinematic wave. A year later Quentin Tarantino would release Reservoir Dogs, effectively putting a nail in the coffin of this genre of film. Ever since, the genre has been extroverted rather than introverted, self-aware, meta and ironic instead of serious and message-centered. But there was no way for Van Sant to know that as he was shooting My Own Private Idaho. He was riding the success of Drugstore Cowboy a prophetic film arguing that junkies would turn away from street drugs and simply get high on prescription pharmaceuticals. This has certainly come true, as today we live in a world where Adderal, Xanax, Ambien and Oxy have replaced cocaine, pot, downs and heroin as the drugs of choice for the Millennial Generation. Of course, Van Sant could not have predicted the Internet, Craigslist and escort sites when he made this film, so if it doesn't understand that things would get better for rent boys in the future, it wasn't his fault. He was documenting the male escort world as it was and how he saw it, and the film deserves lots of accolades for its brutal honesty about the physical, emotional and safety challenges these boys face. At the heart of My Own Private Idaho are Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix, looking as beautiful as they ever will. As the years have gone by it's easy to forget how stunning both boys were in their youth. They were, to coin a phrase, prime in their prime. In fact, you could probably have a good time simply watching the movie with the sound off and staring at their beautiful faces and bodies. The two actors play boyfriends of a sort and play off each other as outsiders in the male escort world. Neither seems to really belong there Keanu because he comes from a wealthy family, and River because he suffers narcolepsy that can cause him to literally fall asleep in the middle of sex. River is in love with Keanu, who unfortunately is not in love with him. That Keanu, as soon as he turns 21 and his trust fund matures, will walk away from River and the rent boy lifestyle is inevitable. That River is too in love to realize this is also inevitable, but also heartbreaking. Along the way they will have adventures robbing a group of escort muggers, flying to Italy, becoming stranded on a lonely highway in Idaho, etc. The scenes where it is only River and Keanu on screen show Van Sant at the top of his game. They are intimate, powerful and authentic. This is the first time that Reeves would attempt serious acting (one could argue that it is perhaps the only time) and, at times, he shows some acting chops. Unfortunately, the scenes that involve the pair interacting with the other rent boys and their Fagin-style leader, Bob, are nowhere near as effective and show that Van Sant still had some growing up to do as a director. They are forced to belt out mock Shakespearean dialogue that would be much more at home in a stage adaptation of this story than it is on screen. It distracts from the authenticity of the film and become grating very, very quickly. It also beggars belief that these hardened boys and men of the street don't see through Reeves's character and realize that he's just a rich kid pretending to be on the skids. In the real world, I suspect they would have hustled him, rather than let him be a hustler with them. That said, it was the convention of this genre of indy film to do quirky things to set themselves apart from the dreck the studios were churning out. If Cimino can put an hour-long wedding scene at the start of The Deer Hunter, in counterpoint to the much shorter wedding that kicks off The Godfather, it stands to reason that Van Sant thought it reasonable to put iambic pentameter into the mouths of these youths in counterpoint to the hip slang that John Hughes was using for his coming of age teen films. Van Sant would go on to do better work with Good Will Hunting and Milk. Reeves would go on to do more popular work in Speed and the Matrix, but as a transitional film for both of their careers My Own Private Idaho works in a quirky way. And, of course there are the beautiful boys at the center of the film and who hasn't put up with a young dude spouting pretentious bullshit simply because he was hot enough to get away with it? cc boytoy.com 2013

I saw this many many years ago and loved it. I did not know they were still doing this but am happy it is still around. I love these kinds of shows and yes, even if only 90 min. I found it was well worth it when I went.

I have friends in NYC that loved this play and said it was one of their favorites this year. Great review Lucky!

Gay Prague Take A Tour! Tired of the increasingly expensive cost of Western Europe rent boys, boy toys and beverages as the dollar slides against the Euro? Then, my beautiful bears, terrific twinks and cravilicious cockaholics, it's time to look East and explore Prague. Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and, with the advent of low cost airlines, has quickly become one of the few that has no off season. You can dance the night away and get your gay on 12 months a year! The city has a rich history and is where Mozart's Don Giovanni was first performed. It retains a medieval city center, is an easy to navigate pedestrian city, and is the most gay-friendly city east of the former Iron Curtain. In fact, the country estimates that it gets over 600,000 gay and lesbian tourists a year, drawn by the cheap beer, good food, beautiful buildings, and young, hip nightlife scene. You'll rarely lack for things to do in Prague, day or night! So let Boy Toy give you the low down on how to go down in this ho-town! Gay Hotel Tours The Prague travel industry is actively courting gay tourists, and wants to do everything they can to ensure that the homos are happy when they write home about Prague. Because of this, an entire string of specifically gay hotels have sprouted up in different parts of the city, and are easy to find when you look to book online. These hotels are not only gay-friendly, but they will, for an extra fee, take you on guided tours of the cruising areas in town, the hottest gay bars and clubs, the most popular saunas, and even set you up with escorts who will come directly to your room and can simply be added to the cost of your hotel bill. You also have the option of taking traditional gay-only tours of non-sexual tourist sites during the day, which are sponsored by the hotels. All in all, Prague makes it very easy to have an exclusively gay vacation and get hot and horny whenever you want to! The Prague Gay Escort Scene Prague has one of the most active gay escort scenes in Europe. But, you generally won't find them through traditional escort services. Instead, the rent boys either work the gay bars and clubs at any given gay watering hole, assume that at least 10 percent of the patrons are working boys - or else work directly for the various gay hotels. Drakes, Temple and Escape are the most well know and popular of the bars that have working boys. They are good year round but you may have to be a bit more patient and wait around for the right guy to grace your presence that you would in some other cities. The best strip action is in Escape. You may also find some of them working the saunas but the chance of that happening is slim. No matter where you pick them up, expect them to cost roughly half of what you would pay in Western Europe. If you decide to go searching Prague on your own without the help of a hotel tour, you'll find most of the clubs/bars and saunas in the Old Town, Vinohrady and Zizkov sections of the city. If cruising is more your style, then you'll want to visit the Andel Shopping Center, where the bathrooms are known gay pick up spots; the Podoli Bath, where the changing rooms are hookup spots; and Seberak Lake, where the nude sunbathers often take a break in the bushes with each other; the train station where cruising always seem to be going on. Gay Events In Prague There are two main gay events in Prague: the Gay And Lesbian Film Festival Mezipatra, and Prague Gay Pride. The film festival has been held every November since 2001 and the first Prague Gay Pride took place in August 2011 and will continue to be held at that time of year into the future. Both bring a lot of gay tourists into town, so you'll want to reserve your hotel room at a gay hotel several months in advance to make sure you aren't stuck with straight frat boys at a normal hotel unless, of course, that's your thing, in which case you MUST check out our guide to seducing straight boys! What To Do When You're Not Getting Your Gay On Even if you are the most dedicated cocksucker in the world, you'll want to spend some time with your dick in your pants. Luckily, Prague has dozens of great tourist sites here are the highlights. Prague Castle. Listed in the Guinness Book Of World Records as the largest ancient castle in the world, it is not only beautiful but offers impressive views of the city from the top floors. It will make you feel like a queen! The city's Gothic Astronomical Clock is another interesting site sitting right next to the theater where Mozart originally launched several of his most important operas. If you have Jewish ancestry, you'll want to visit the Josefav district of Prague. This is the old Jewish ghetto, and features the oldest still standing synagogues in all of Europe. Writer Franz Kafka's house is also here, as is the oldest Jewish cemetery in Europe. This part of town alone is worth an entire day's walking. Finally, the Infant Of Prague is perhaps the most famous statue of Christ in the world. You'll find it in the Church Of Our Lady Victorious, in the Lesser Town section of the city.

You mean like watching Honey Boo Boo or reading Harry Potter?

I am at a convention in Las Vegas this week and it is filled with interesting and fascinating people. Today, we have a speed networking seminar. In it, you have your business cards and you meet about 50 people and you have 2 min with each of them to discuss business. It is a great concept IMHO. But I had at least 15 of them ask me about Thailand and tell me how much they love it or how much they can't wait to visit. Each of them were so complimentary of the LOS and the people there. Every where I go, it seems to be the same. EVERYONE loves Thailand!

Sad thing was this guy is someone I would be able to settle down with! I just didn't see the wife part coming as he is gayer than I am but he is also French and don't they all look gay? jk

I learned that at a straight porn convention gay men are still horny MF's. I met one of the presenters today and he was hot. A bit older than what I normally go for but we hit it off well and we ended up having sex in his hotel room. I asked him about another time this week and he said, "oh, sorry, my wife comes later tonight."

It's Not Just The Wind That Blows: Boytoys Gay Guide To Barcelona How would you like to go to a gay friendly city with fabulous architecture, cheap liquor, sizzling beaches, and some of the hottest nightlife in the world? If that sounds like your cup of tea then, you simply must visit Barcelona, where the winds blow just like the boys in the torrid Spanish gay neighborhood! Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain and sits on the western coast, right by the French border. Everything is about half the price you'd pay in New York or San Francisco, and the Barcelona boys know how to boogie! You'll find that it's almost always warm in this sinful city which is the height of European fashion! Even in February, the temperatures rarely dip below 50 degrees though it can get too hot in July and August. The locals don't technically speak Spanish they speak Catalan - but almost everyone speaks English, and if you know Spanish you can usually make out the local language, which is very similar. The city is also a thriving seaport which means that you'll find some of the freshest seafood anywhere, after you've sampled the local chorizo of your choice! So, get ready for boytoy.com to take you a trip to Barcelona and show you how to get laid in the shade! Nightclubs And Nightlife Barcelona is known for having some of the best nightclubs in the world. Whether you want a small place with low lights and slow dancing or a huge five-story techno club overlooking the water, you'll find it in Barcelona. That said, everything happens late in Barcelona so you probably want to take a long siesta in the afternoon. You'll find that many people don't go out to eat until around 10 p.m. or later, and that most of the clubs are empty until around 2 or 3 a.m. They stay open until noon the next morning so you'll have plenty of time to get your dance on! If you are like me and simply can't wait until that late to eat dinner, most bars sell snacks of one type or another - called tapas - to hold you over. Personally, I suggest having a late lunch and then finding a boy to kill time with until it gets late enough to make your move into the night. L'Eixample The main gay neighborhood in Barcelona is L'Eixample, known by the locals as Gaixample. Located right in the heart of the city around the blocks between Calle Comte d'Urgell and Rambla Catalunya, Gran Via and Calle Provença. This is where you'll find tons of gay bars, saunas, bathhouses, gyms and pride flags on almost every corner. During the day, L'Eixample is a thriving part of the city, but at night it really explodes with hot restaurants, dirty dancing, all-night cruising and all the cock you can sink your teeth into. Many of the local bars hand out fliers with maps to other gay bars and clubs in town, so once you've found L'Eixample you'll have no problem figuring out where to go when you want to cum! You'll find that most of the gay bars and clubs have dark areas or dark rooms for patrons to get their gay on, and you'll find some of the sluttiest boys in Europe. All in all, L'Eixample is a prime example of absolute fantasy! Sitges If bronzed Spanish boys are your thing and if not, they should be then Sitges is where you want to go to cum in the sun. Located just outside the city and easily reachable by public transportation, Sitges is where you'll find the gay beaches of Barcelona. It's also the headquarters for one of the most queerific events in Barcelona the annual Carnivale festival held every year in the weeks leading up to the day before Ash Wednesday. Carnivale at Sitges is a virtual orgy of gay men, beaches, drag queens and cockaholics. The beach parties go on all night long, and the boys keep cumming back for more. It's enough to bring you to your knees! Loveball If you want to fight for your right to party, the annual Loveball event may bring your to your knees. Held every August, Loveball is a festival dedicated to gay clubbing, cruising and cocksucking that draws about 20,000 hot men a night into the city center. For the entire week, some of the best DJs in the world descend on Barcelona and the clubs stay open 24 hours a day, so you can dance your way to dick day and night! During the day there are also cocktail parties, gay film screenings, gay walking tours, museum tours, and enough fun to get you blinded by the gay. At night, the boys are looking to bang and some of the clubs become virtual impromptu orgies. In other words, you'll have a ball and love it! Tapas One of the main reasons the people of Barcelona can wait until 10 p.m. or later to have dinner is the popularity of tapas, which are served day and night all over the city whenever you sit down to have a drink. Tapas are finger foods served in very small portions. You can order one piece of tapas to go with a glass of wine, or several plates if you plan on chilling out for a while. You'll find dozens of types of tapas to put in your dirty little mouths, from local ham to bread soaked in tomato sauce to sausages and even fried octopus! Sangria Sangria is the most popular drink in Barcelona and it's not what you'd expect. Unlike the watered down punch you may have seen in America, sangria in Barcelona is a local art form. Nearly every bar and pub has its own recipe. Some are made with a wine base, while other are spiked with various versions of grain alcohol. This can be a problem because you'll never really be sure how strong your glass is until you wake up the next morning and realize the twink you thought you banged was actually a bear! All sangria has some red wine in it, and is filled with large pieces of fruit. At most bars you can purchase a glass for a couple of bucks, though your best bet is to simply get a pitcher, load up on tapas and let the taste sensations take you away! Just don't let your sangria goggles get you in trouble unless you are ready for the walk of shame! La Rambla One of the most popular tourist stops located just outside L'Eixample - is La Rambla, a long pedestrian street connecting Plaza Cataluna with the statue of Christopher Columbus at the main port. This is Barcelona's Times Square, and you'll find everything and anything - from transvestite prostitutes, the Hard Rock Cafe, brothels, gay peep shows, to souvenir stands and stalls selling flowers and live animals. At the top of La Rambla, near H&M, you'll find lots of winding streets heading off to cute clothing boutiques and a few tapas bars. Head down just a little bit further and you'll be surrounded by open-air exotic pet stores selling everything from chinchillas to baby alligators and chameleons. Next up is the huge open-air flower market, a museum dedicated to the history of gay and straight erotica, and tons of bars and cafes that are open 20 hours a day. In between the open air markets are literally dozens of street performers, doing everything from playing guitar to dressing up like statues of Julius Caesar and dancing like Michael Jackson. At the bottom of the street you'll discover local artists and vendors selling authentic, locally made crafts. During the late evening the bottom of La Rambla fills up with rent boys, hookers, transvestite prostitutes, and every type of commercial sex you can imagine. You'll want to keep an eye on your wallet because La Rambla is known for pickpockets, but other than that La Rambla is a fagtastic way to drink, eat and discover new ways to be sinfully delicious! La Sagrada Familia The most fabulous tourist attraction in Barcelona is La Sagrada Famila and they haven't even finished building it yet! This giant church went under construction by local architectural legend Antoni Gaudi in 1882 and they have been working on it ever since. Each of the four sides of the church represents a different architectural style meaning that there is something for everyone. At this phase of the construction, one of the statues of Christ appears to have an erection! More than 2 million people a year cum to visit La Sagrada Familia, making it one of the most seen attractions in all of Europe. Its beauty is quite simply divine! Park Guell One of the other Barcelona beauties built by Antoni Gaudi is the Park Guell in the northern part of the city. While Park Guell is a fully functioning park, it also stands as a 17-acre work of modern art in its own right. Gaudi built mosaics, statues, sea serpents, marble lizards and other free flowing expressions. The park is almost like a giant painting come to life. While there isn't much traditional cruising going on in Park Guell, its beauty alone is almost enough to bring you to your knees! And, anyway, who can resist a sea serpent? Barri Gotic If you want to stroll around beautiful buildings in a bohemian atmosphere, you'll want to get your cute little buns over to the Barri Gotic, the center of the Old City of Barcelona. You'll see fabulous Roman ruins, ancient churches, tons of street vendors, great tapas bars, and loads of cute young students just chilling out and having a good time. There are no cars allowed in the Barri Gotic (also known as the Gothic Quarter) so you can ramble around to your heart's content, discovering tons of little squares, cool boutiques, and great restaurants. You'll have a gay old time! Where Ya Goin'? Barcelona! If you want to meet hip kids, get laid in the trendiest gay clubs in the world, or just eat and drink the night away, Barcelona is where all the cool queers are going this year! You'll be able to party all night, sleep all day, hit cool gay beaches, and find all the man meat you can handle. CC boytoy.com 2012

There are several sex shops in the Marche Au Charbon area so you can have fun even if you left your sex toys at home!

The Slave is one of the sleaziest hardcore leather bars in the world it has several dark rooms that are constantly filled with some of the roughest trade you'll find anywhere. If you are feeling a little too girly for that, Chez Maman is a very classy drag bar down the street that features exotic shows nightly and boasts some of the most cosmopolitan trannies/TVs and drag queens in Europe as their loyal customers. Once a month, several of the gay clubs get together and hold a festival called La Demence that brings in international DJs, hot male strippers, and drag queens from around the world for an all-night dance party. Cruising In Brussels For those of you who like a little bit of risk when it comes to your man conquests, you'll find that Brussels is a cruising haven. Because most of the gay bars and clubs have been around for a decade or less, the Belgian boys had a need to find other places to blow their seed. The result is a wide variety of cruising spots that seem popular 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The raunchiest is the Orly Cinema right by the railroad tracks. This is a combination sauna and movie theater, with more than a dozen glory holes and almost non-stop cruising action. The trails along the Foret du Soinges are also lined with boys looking to get laid morning, noon, and night. Just wander around the woods for a little while, and you'll soon have your choice of man meat to devour! The Parc du Cinquantenaire, right next door to the headquarters of the European Commission, is known as a cruise park for upscale Brussels dudes looking to take a break from bitching about Bush and suck some cock. Known locally as Cocksuckers Paradise, the park in front of the Royal Palace is also a spot for queens looking for rising cock as soon as the sun goes down. To find the most man meat possible, head over to the bushes by the Royal Fountain. The European Big Men's Convergence Kinky twinks are nice when you want a sexy snack. But, sometimes you want a full meal of man meat! That's why I was delighted to learn of the European Big Men's Convergence, held annually in Brussels. This is a giant, weeklong party dedicated to chubbies, fatties, and burly bears. No women, straights, or skinny boys are allowed at any of the events most of which offer free food and drink! The Big Mens' Convergence is considered the largest gay event for fatties in the world and it brings out the big boys! Like I've always said, Size Matters! And we all know that bigger means better! Pink Screens One of the more delicious events in Brussels is the annual Pink Screens transgender film festival. From October through November, the event features dozens of films that examine the way gender plays roles in our lives. The films focus on the roles of drag queens, gay tops and bottoms, transsexuals, and transvestites. It attracts a mostly gay international crowd, and is a great way to pass the time before the gay clubs open up around 11 p.m.! Brussels Gay Pride Brussels has one of the newer gay pride events in Europe they have only been holding them since the mid 1990s. Still, they have begun to attract large crowds and in 2007, more than 20,000 people came down for what the locals call Pink Saturday. The Pride event is held every year in May and focuses on a large central city parade, street vendors, and then all-night dancing and cruising in the local clubs. The Brussels Gay Sports Association! Do you like to play with balls? Well, really, who doesn't? That's why you may want to reach out and around to the Brussels Gay Sports association when you are in town. The association takes part in many seasonal sports from swimming to rugby and tourists are more than welcome to sign up to play during their stay! The point of the association is to show the local breeder boys that they can be just as athletic as their hetero counterparts and the teams regularly play against the burliest boys in Brussels! I can't decide if I want to be a tackle or a cheerleader!

Manneken Pis The Manneken Pis is the naughtiest and most famous fountain in the world. Located on the Rue D'Etuve, the Manneken Pis features a small bronze boy. The fountain is set up so that the water runs out of his penis making it look like he is relieving his bladder! There have been more than 200 outfits created for the Manneken Pis over the years, so he never looks exactly the same on any given visit! Talk about taking the piss! Sablon Antiques And Books Market If you are looking for a bargain or just love to shop you should get your sweet ass over to the Place de Grand Sablon on Saturday or Sunday afternoons. The entire square is turned into a giant open-air antiques market featuring more than 100 vendors who buy and trade antiques among themselves as well as with the local shoppers! Every price is negotiable and you may find a rare treasure that you will keep close to your home and hearth forever! The Brussels Museum Of Modern Art The most popular museum in the city is the Brussels Museum of Modern Art. It has a huge collection of 19th- and 20th- century paintings and sculptures. There is a strong preference for Flemish artists, and the best gallery space is reserved for the work of Magritte. It's a great way to spend the day before getting ready to hit the clubs and dance the night away! Don't Worry About The Sprouts Just Get To Brussels And Boogie With The Boys!
