Fabricio looks amazing. I wish i had found him when I was there.

I never found Frank Sinatra attractive, and I never thought much of his voice. I also never knew he remained close to his first wife Nancy long after their divorce in 1951. With a life like theirs comes a roller-coaster ride of tremendous joy, pain, and sorrow. And yet, somehow, love endured. It's a fascinating story.

Thank you @tassojunior for contributing to the thread with useful information. I am not into the sauna scene or into shopping, and am not planning to explore that, your posts are an useful addition. Last night my dinner finished at 1AM, so I did an attempt to go to Contramano, understanding Sundays was their Bears Night. It was a disappointment, the "boliche" (Argentine Spanish word for night club or disco) was closed. I just checked their website, and found out they have radically changed their schedule. They used to open Wednesday to Sunday, now they are open only Friday and Saturday. Anyway, based on the pictures they have in the site, I doubt I would have found anyone attractive to me. Perhaps next year I will be able to explore Buenos Aires' night. Just one week here is not enough, I have many friends and relatives to meet and no much time for exploring. It does look like street cruising is still alive. A few times I walked a few blocks in Avenida Santa Fe and saw guys clearly cruising, I wonder what would happen should I have a couple of hours to hang out over there. Last night and Friday night I walked a few blocks pretty late and even when I saw guys cruising, I would say the atmosphere is not as friendly as it used to be. The stores used to leave their windows open and lighten up showing their offerings. Many of them (I would say most of them between Callao and 9 de Julio) now close the windows with metallic blinds, making the sidewalks sadder and darker. Being here only for one week and one week end did not give me the chance to check the theater scene. I did have a few recommendations (Terrenal, by Mauricio Kartún, and Todo Piola, de Mariano Blatt). If you are in Buenos Aires and want to see good acting and directing, I strongly advise you to give a try to any of those. The people who recommended them are former colleagues from my acting times and I have the upmost respect for their opinion. I can also recommend "Tarascones", by Gonzalo de María, a comedy written in verse with rhyme. I attended a show 2 yeas ago and I am glad to see it is still playing, although in a different location. I cannot recommend this one: Cruising 2, by Juian Arenas, because I have no references, but I was curious about it. Julián Arenas also directed and acted in "Me Imagino Que Vendrás Acompañado", a gay theme comedy played for many years. I recently discovered the web series he created based on it, and loved it. I am not sure the play would be good, but I am confident that at least it would be an interesting window to the local gay culture. This afternoon I am meeting Fabricio, he does not have a pace, so it will be my first experience in a "telo". Tomorrow Carlos already confirmed we will have our second meeting, I do not know yet whether it will include a session of pictures or will be just playing. A side note, I love to be able to read the narratives in Rentmen reviews without using a VPN software. Here in Argentina the locals can post prices and they are called "escorts" without the "porn stars" American euphemism.

I have loved watching the World Cup. I was sad for both Brazil and England's exit but the game yesterday was excellent and France did a great job. Great game!

Anything by Red Skelton. (I was born 1959.)

hate this 1-hour to edit. update: I checked and the small hip sex club with video cabins was Zoom on Santa Fe. Tom's is almost identical but is back on Viamonte in the microcenter. A Full is the huge old bathouse that's so popular. Zoom is next to the university and is a sex club mostly for students there. Super good lookers, but a tough house for over-30's. Admission is like $5. Tom's is same owner and just as high tech but mostly lunchtime and 5pm businessmen. A Full is everyone and their cousin in Buenos Aires. Many more guys so just as many hot ones, if not more. No one's going to rave about the decor at A Full. Didn't try the masseurs. I know A Full closes about 8 or 9 pm. Not sure on the other two but pretty sure they stay open later. http://afullspa.com.ar/ http://www.tomsbuenosaires.com/ http://zoombuenosaires.com Lobby at Tom's Sex Video Cabin Club. Classiest suck palace ever. Also owns Zoom. Zoom A Full day sauna lobby. It isn't even this nice. But it's packed.

What are you referring to? The overwhelming majority of the people of African descent in the Western Hemisphere (that includes North, Central, South America and the Caribbean islands) are descendants of the African slaves. As for your deflecting snidely comment about African leaders “directing” the sale of African slaves to European and American slave traders, you certainly could use a class, or just a day-long visit to the Smithsonian Museum of African-American History.

Shopping sometimes relieves sexual frustration. I was in Galerias Pacifico a lot when I was there. A basilica of consumerism.

In my last report I mentioned Carlos Aleman. Here you have the full review: https://ilikepinga.com/2018/07/15/carlos-aleman/. I am still processing the intensity and beauty of our meeting. That was last Thursday, and I needed a full day to recover physically, that is how exhausted he left me. I devoted that day, Friday, to catch up on some writing. On Friday night we were supposed to mee with a group of members of the Argentinean forums. We chose a gay bar downtown Buenos Aires, the Flux Bar. The location is pretty good, just one block away from Avenida Santa Fe and half from Avenida 9 de Julio. It is a basement and, despite the smell (I am very smells sensitive and the place stunk like humidity), I found it very much enjoyable. Our appointment was at 10 PM (22 for the locals). The crowd was very diverse with predominance of males in their 20s and 30s. The atmosphere was quite similar to a typical lounge bar from Manhattan East Village, very friendly and casual. The bar is owned, I read, by two American expatriates, and up to my knowledge the only gay establishment opening at 7PM. For the local culture, that is extremely early. We stayed in the place up to midnight. When we arrived at 10 it was full, unusual for Buenos Aires. When we left at 12 it was getting crowded but not much. A bourbon and coke was $AR 140. The exchange today is U$S 1 = $AR 27.95. They did not accept my CCs, I had to pay with cash. "We" were only two people. About 11 people expressed interest in attending, 3 sent messages letting me know they would not be able to show up, the rest just did not come. It was nice getting to know the other gentleman. He is 65 years old and with some serious health issues that limit his mobility and life. He has not had sex in many years, and channels his libido through writing. I still have to explore his blog, but if you read Spanish and are interested in erotic texts, here you have it: https://dardoysushistorias.blogspot.com. I did listen to a recording he shared with me: AUDIO-2018-07-14-18-47-44.m4a I think is a beautiful and interesting poetic prose. His golden years seem to be when he was in the Military Service ("colimba" in the local slang), most of his stories are staged back then. When we left it was too early to get into a disco, so I just went home to sleep. Yesterday Saturday my mother arrived from Corrientes so I devoted the day to her. I was going to have a meeting with a new boy in the afternoon: http://www.soytuyo.com/indexmodelo.php?id=878#.W0tPJy2ZPOQ, but he called me to reschedule, perhaps I will see him today after a family lunch. My intention last night was going to Contramano, but I fall asleep. I have a diner with friends today, if it last up to late I may try Contramano. On Sundays they host a Bears Night, it would be a perfect match for me.... if I survive awake until 2 AM. I am upset at me for losing last night, I gad a couple of recommendations to go to the theater but forgot to make reservations, it is my last week end and probably will miss the chance to enjoy a play. Buenos Aires' theater scene is premium quality. After Galo rescheduled, I tried to get something from the room up apps, inspired by @msclelovr's success stories but I failed. I only got a very hot Black Venezuelan who was looking for clients in Scruff. He did not have a place and quoted me $AR 2,000. I did not want to pay a price so much above the local market average, even if it is cheap compared to the USA. Here you have two of his pictures: Today I am planning on meeting Galo (the boy I linked above), at his place, $AR 1,400. Tomorrow Monday I will probably meet Fabricio: https://rent.men/Randisan. He charges $AR 1,200 and has no place, he is recommending a "telo" (local slang for "albergue transitorio", the hotels regulated with the only purpose of sexual encounters), so meeting him would be my first experience in this kind of place. Carlos Aleman has some final exams tomorrow and we are discussing our second meting for Tuesday. He has still not made a decision about allowing me to take pictures and film, but I am still hopeful.

I recall there was a thread here from a poster (a "hot" Cuban American) complaining about some older and uglier customers could negotiate lower rate than himself at 117 and could not understand why. Well, here is your answer.

Sad news. Beautiful story. I always loved his voice. I don't remember him being anything but old so I never thought of his attraction. But, man, what a life he lived. She seemed to lead a simple life.

You failed to quote the last part of my sentence: " though many are of African descent " My argument was not that they were not of African descent, but rather that many if not most African Americans in the US do not consider those of African descent south of the border to be Black, "though it is understood intellectually," that does not transcend into personal prejudice. That has been my family and life's experiences. With due respect, I have traced my family history back two hundred years, I don't think I need Google. I stand by my comments...
