Budapest – The Sexcation Destination Going on vacation to check out the local culture can be a fun, enriching experience. I know because I did it once or twice and it was nice to have stories to take home to mom. But, let's face it - the most important thing for most of us when we go on vacation is to get our gay on and turn it into a sexcation. That's why, my little fairies, burly tops, terrific twinks and beautiful boy toys (but not fabulous fags as some are insulted with this word), this week we are going to take a journey to Budapest, the sexcation destination. Called “The Paris Of The East,” Budapest is actually two cities – Buda and Pest – on different sides of the Danube river. What's interesting is the Buda is very hilly, and Pest is almost completely flat. This means that you get different architecture and views depending on which city you stay in. Budapest is also the sex capital of the Western Hemisphere. Imagine Bangkok, but with even more prostitutes, go-go clubs, strip bars, etc. Well, not really more than Bangkok but if you have a taste for white meat as opposed to dark meat, you are in for a treat. People come here for sex tourism, and the city more than delivers. What you'll really like are the prices. Compared to any other city in Europe worth visiting, Budapest is incredibly inexpensive. So let's get to it so you can get down and dirty in Budapest – we know that your cockaholism needs to be sated! Be A Pest When you get to Budapest, you want to stay in Pest, not Buda. Buda is where the financial stuff in the city gets done; Pest is where people party and get laid. The city doesn't have an official gayborhood, but you'll find plenty of gay bars, saunas and clubs in Pest – which is essentially a 24-hour party town. It's not hard to find a gay bar here, and once you do you'll see the fliers for the other trendy gay bars, clubs and saunas – so use them as your guide point. You won't be disappointed. The Escort Scene The local joke is that Budapest is where prostitutes are made. And, it's true. More than half the male and female prostitutes in all of Europe were recruited and started out their careers in Budapest. Prostitution is completely legal here, and the escorts even have their own union. Because of the very high level of unemployment, prostitution is considered a respectable job that many young people of both genders enter into in record numbers. In other words, you've never been in a place with anywhere near as many escorts in it. You'll find the escorts everywhere you go – working the hotel bars, in the saunas, at the clubs, and even in the gay-friendly restaurants. You'll also see posters all around the city advertising various online escort services – again, male and female escorts. They are also some of the best escorts you'll find in all of Europe. They don't export their best ones to other countries, so you'll get the cream of the crop. Best of all, the male escorts are much less expensive than in other European cities – even cheaper than Prague, which has become somewhat pricey in recent years. Please, however - try to be a good guy and stick to escorts that are at least 18. Budapest has a well-deserved reputation for recruiting very young male and female escorts, and fucking a 14-year-old just isn't cool. The Baths Other than having more prostitutes per capita than the rest of Europe, Budapest is also known for their public baths. There are dozens of them scattered throughout Buda and Pest. These are not sex saunas; instead, they are literally places where you can go to get clean and steam yourself. They are often used by people in the morning before work in order to sweat off their hangovers. In fact, many of them will offer you a shot of vodka in the bath in the morning to help take the edge off. As a true Budapest experience, you should try out at least one bath; it's fun and cultural at the same time. When You Are Not Drinking And Fucking Booze and ass are the main reasons to see Budapest, but like any capital city there are some non-debauched things you can do here. (Why you'd want to, I'm not sure, but I guess you need something to tell your sister about!) So, let's take a look at some vanilla fun. The Royal Palace is by far the most popular tourist attraction. Built in the 1300s, it is pretty much what you imagine a royal palace looks like when you read Game Of Thrones. The Hunyadi Garden is great for a stroll, and the main fountain is beautiful – and full of coins that the locals toss in for luck. To get a good view of both Buda and Pest, head over to the Chain Bridge that connects the two over the river. Finally, the Parliament Building is considered one of the best examples of neo-Gothic architecture in the world. Get It Up For Your Sexcation! Ok, so now you know that Budapest is the deep, dark, sexy secret of Europe. So what's keeping you from cumming over? cc boytoy.com 2013

Hint of mint at the oasis? Best regards, RA1

I think you mean reward but I know what you mean. Best regards, RA1

I want to be Robin. Can you imagine batman with his leather outfit and belt containing toys making you his ward....

No, not WW or anyone who might resemble same. Not everyone herein has your range of tastes. Best regards, RA1

A catamite poofter named Jay Thought that nancy boy sounded too gay. 'To be labelled a fag Is a bit of a drag, But I'll answer to queer any day.'

I think Ox is trying to be silly and fun and empowering in his reviews and guides.

I voted sometimes, but the answer is almost never. Even if somebody calls me a faggot, I just think "The only reason you're that hung up is because you secretly want to suck cock."

It always catches my attention when in British television shows they mention fags, as in cigarettes (like "where are my fags") . Now fags in this sense is definitely something i find offensive :-)

Sticking with military/political jargon, how about: Subversion or Sedition or Soft revolution or Overthrow! or even Bay of Pigs!! ...although I dare anybody to call it 'Arab Spring'! (Sounds like a perverted brand of soap...?)

I shouldn't Wonder.

Of course. Perhaps I neglected the basic intent of the question and concentrated upon the word itself in the various contexts. Now, whilst you are channeling BW, can you spare a moment or two to have a tete a tete with any facsimile of Robin ( any wonder of boy will do)? Best regards, RA1

Ummmm!

Well, of course I state the thing in extremis to make a point. As you, BBB and wayout say, clearly there are situations where somebody using such words deserves a sharp knock upside the head. My answer was in the frame of Oz's question: usage here at this site. And, by extension, like venues. But also to include my public use of such in the world at large, when I judge appropriate, and possibly useful. ...As for Batman or Robin, I might could just manage a moment or two of channeling Bruce Wayne. The Boy Wonder -- not now, not nohow, not even back in one's own Jurassic.

For me it is about context and intent. It is difficult for me to vote in absolute terms but I did vote sometimes as that is probably the most realistic for me. I tend to not necessarily be offended but rather discount or dismiss the message and messenger if it is used in a pejorative way (as I interpret it).

How the federal government is run is more like a religion than a business. A lot of faith may be required but some cash is welcome also. Best regards, RA1

AS- You take a very laid back and cosmopolitan view of yourself and others and I appreciate it. However, sometimes others are not so willing to have their personal sensitivities rubbed the wrong way. Sticks and stones, etc. is a familiar phrase but it isn't exactly true always. Words can and do hurt. However, I certainly agree that context is everything. Are you Batman or Robin in your crusade to take back the night? Best regards, RA1

Yes, and the lingonberry sauce covers up a multitude of sins. Or were those dingleberries?

I voted "never." The other day in a related thread I posted most of Wikipedia's article on "reappropriation": http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reappropriation I tend at one time or other to use every word available to describe myself and any category I happen to be part of. Whether coined and used originally as laudatory, neutral, or pejorative. What is most profoundly offensive to me is the notion of submitting to others' -- I mean detractors' -- arrogation to themselves of what I demand is my choice of how language and rhetoric will function in my service. I locate freedom in taking back the night in that regard.

It also doesn't have to be a negative term.

It's all about context. Some dude beating me up and calling me a fag at the same time - not good. Talking with my friends and calling each other fags - harmless good fun. Words are totally about intent.

Ummm... I know Curitiba fairly well,,,, On-line cruising is certainly possible, and I had good experiences via Manhunt. But the rent boy sauna scene is getting down... Clube 520 is quite nice, but three or four years ago used to be much more fun ... And the other rent boy sauna has pretty bad facilities, although the workings guys could be interesting... Of course, the city iself is nice and close to wonderful Iguaçu Waterfalls

Beautiful photos. Love them. Thank you for sharing!
