I was just in New Zealand for a few weeks. Amazing country to visit with stunning scenery and great people. I was traveling with friends so I didn't hook up. I was surprised by the number of guys advertising on grindr, some quite cute, for fun with "rewards welcome" which indicates $$. Chatted with a couple but didn't waste their time since I really couldn't get away to hook up. All were very nice.

So what's the reward price?

I didn't really get into details since I couldn't hook up. I was just surprised by how many were so open about it on grindr. This was mostly in the larger cites of Aukland/Christchurch. I certainly wouldn't book a trip there just to look for rent boys--but its nice to know that you wouldn't be without options if you visit New Zealand for all of the other natural scenery!

A fit young New Zealander told me (about 6-7 years ago) that every small town in the country has a bath-house or sauna where men go to hook up for gay sex. He said that there’s little publicity but everyone knows it goes on. He added that when in a new and small place, he just asked where the sauna was. 

I’m not surprised that so many guys in the main cities are commercially-minded. I was there once and had plenty of such offers. New Zealanders tend to be quite matter of fact about having gay sex.

Kiwis are very matter of fact about everything so far as I can tell.  Wonderful scenery, wonderful folks; would go back anytime.   But, like asdsrfr, I was unable to make contact with the gay community because of business.  Go if you have the chance.

I’m thinking of it,

I can't imagine every small town in New Zealand having a bathhouse/sauna. Maybe in their 2 largest cities but the rest would be like villages. 

Always wanted to go. Never knew about the sexier side trip that Kiwis can offer. Any information will be helpful.
