Naples Florida held its first ever Gay Pride Event 40 years after other cities started the event. According to the news the event was much much bigger that expected and plans for next year are already being worked on. Sleepy SW Florida may be waking up.

I have been asked by several people which place I like better or which one is better for meeting up with guys? It really depends on what perspective you are coming from. and I can only speak of the one city in Mexico as that is where all my experiences have been there this past 16 months. Before I compare and give my thoughts, I do know that the "non" resort towns/cities are much cheaper then if you are trying to hire in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico city, etc. and while the available guys are many in any of the cities(Grindr is a must have app!) there is a bigger selection of "muscle guys" in the resort cities. typical price for a guy is 500 pesos = $25.US and that price is for an hour or all night! all of my encounters have been for anywhere from 5 hours to overnight with most being all night. Double/Triple that price for a hour with a Cancun gogo dancer or stripper! I have been very happy with the guys available locally! Brazil offers the saunas where you can see 30 - 50 guys up close in a social setting, in this part of Mexico you have several bars where the local guys are invited to dance on the bar and a dozen or so locals will get up and walk around the oval bar taking off clothes as they keep going around, when the "dancing" is done they go back to the outside area to wait and see if anyone will buy them a drink(beer being the beverage of choice) and want to do anything later. When I go on Grindr within the first couple of mins I will get a dozen or so messages, my profile indicates I am looking for business relationships. 4 of the guys I have met so far randomly will come by my house, as it is located very close to the center square of town where everyone hangs out and ask if I want to do anything, I usually have said no as I prefer to select my time based on my schedule and they are fine with that and go "ok just checking will see you later". (large 12' iron gates are locked in front of the 3 doors so you can talk without opening them) one day a guy showed up for the third time and it was noon and he had just got out of class at the local university which is about 2 blocks away and I decided it was a good time, he came in and stayed about 1-1/2 hours and I gave him 500 pesos and he was very happy! I like being able to sit and have a drink and talk to the guys and decide which among the guys there I want to go with and that is what I like about the Brazilian saunas ...and the hustler bars in the US of days past! You don't have the same thing in Mexico but nothing stays the same if it had I might never have gone to Brazil....Cats and Stellas and the Gaiety in NYC and Numbers in L.A. and the Old Boardwalk in Miami, and the bars in Prague, where great place whose era is long gone! so for right now, if you can't make it to Brazil then Mexico is a viable alternative!

Ax, you know most of us DONT watch for the competition, we watch for the BOYS !
