Muchas gracias for this! I will definitely look into this more! Might see myself back in Havana sooner than I think!

BiLatin, If you are interested in having a gay professional guide while in Salvador [bahia], Brazil, I have one who comes highly recommended. He's now on www.TripAdvisor.com, and his name is Fernando. He's been guiding for a while and apparently is stellar as to what he does. Although I did not use his services when I was there, I communicated with him via email, and when two amigos of mine went last summer, they used him for a few independent tours. Apparently, they had a great time while in Bahia as well as with the expertise of Fernando.

BiLatin, I, too, want to thank you for submitting this detailed, well-written update about your Cuban adventure. I felt as if I were there experiencing what you underwent. Too bad that I can't speak the language because I was taken as being a Cubano when I was in Habana in the late 80s or early 90s. ...the same when I was there last March on a limited People-to-People program. *You wrote that you went via Miami. How did you manage to do that since US citizens can't legally travel freely to this island nation, something that I abhor because I want to return and not be restricted in terms of time spent nor my own itinerary. When I was there the first time, I had lots of time on hand but failed to use it wisely because of my not being a savvy traveler at the time. Plus a lot has changed since then. Last March I had a wonderful time overall but very, very limited man-to-man action because of our strict schedule. Because we had a stellar Cubana guide/director who allowed some of us to do our own thing up to a point as well as omit one or two scheduled events, I managed to sample a big dick from one gorgeous young escort whose fee was 30CUCs. I liked our session in part because he was NOT as interactive as I'd liked for him to have been. My being unable to speak the native language and his mine was a barrier as well. As a result I chose NOT to be with him on day 2 or 3. He had a woman ask me if he could join me the next day. I stated that I could not see him and gave a reason which sounded valid. What about the next? I stated that I'd be leaving. But, I do desire to return on own, live in an apartment, enjoy the culture and its men. Again, thanks, and I'd appreciate an answer to my question in private if you chose NOT to answer it publicly!

As I read Scott's report, you thought came to mind. It's quite, quite, quite unfortunate that some travelers can't be safe because of an acute, declining economy, and one of the ways to survive on the part of some locals is to attack individuals whom they deem has money or valuables to sell. So to all newbies as well as those who consider ourselves pro travelers, just be extra careful. was in Ipanema. While the group departed from the bus which had to change its course due to the super-massive crowd in the street, I noticed that some of the women were dressed to "the nines and tens" and were wearing some gorgeous jewelry. I thought: what's up with that! One man got lost from us, and I took it upon myself to locate him by going through that big square, name has escaped me. I found him. But to this day I often think about the guidance folks receive about traveling to a place that "has been tagged as being dangerous." I have always felt safe there and fortunately have not encountered any difficulty while traveling alone. But I have watched myself and the areas to which I've ventured. Did not like traveling on foot through some of the neighborhoods in the area of Meio Mundo Just looked foreboding and frightening. Also, while I walked to the stadium during Carnaval, 2003, I didn't feel that safe either. Glad I was in a taxi upon leaving, for that scene for blocks did not look too safe. And dare I go to any of the favelas alone. Have received a great education from the advice and the information given at this site as well as at www.daddysreviews.com where all of the guidance was extended to us first and second and third travelers to Brasil by Trilingual whose first post about Brasil piqued my interests! So, men, cite helpful advice as you've been doing. It'll and has helped you and others. I write "help you" because others have written private messages and questions to me, and I've always felt good in having advised and guided. After their respective trips, I've received emails. When I've given the names and information regarding guides, the folks using their services have been pleased as well as the guides who've extended their services to them. The same goes for aspects regarding saunas, etc.......

I'd like to slap that hot, round ass with an open-palmed hand then caress tenderly! In 2015 I got into asses that way! Thanks for sharing your pics!

I'm with germark01 in his sentiments. As in my previous here, a huge DITTO to the quoted material. Did you get your Casa Arian via www.cuba-junky.com? When I return to Habana, and I hope to other areas, too, for the first time, I desire to stay in an apartment or in a rented room with bath that's operated and perhaps owned by a gay man or is definitely "gay friendly" all the way! I eagerly await your detailed account of your most recent trip to Habana, oji!

gap1972, I sincerely enjoyed reading about your adventures. ...liked your "What a wonderful trip it hasbeen to end 2015." You are more than likely basking in lots of afterglows and mentally recapitulating your experiences during your return. Again, obrigado, and have a "STERLING New Year!"

For me the following components are ranked accordingly. - Age - - Face - - Height and weight and body type - Cock, cut/uncut - Versatile, Versatile Top - - Price, not to exceed beyond $300 but will allow for a fee of $350 for two hours I've been with a very hot, daddy type escort who hails from Portland, Organ whose fee is $350 for two hours, but when he's been with me on two occasions, he's gone way beyond the two, closer to 3.5 or 4 and has not asked for additional money. He has shown me one hell of a play session. He doesn't fit the mode in men for which this website is devoted or particularly caters and promotes. -

Sorry, guys, my experiences in Buenos Aires have been very worthwhile as well as memorable. I've been there over five or perhaps six times since 2005, the last being in 2011. Guess things perhaps have changed a bit. I hired from the escort sites and did not find the prices too outlandish. There is a gay magazine which is in many kiosks, but my brain is not letting me type its title. There are a few houses of boys, too, owned and/or operated by the same guys. I did not go to either, but an acquaintance sent me his personal saga and the telephone numbers which I've since discarded since I would not be traveling to the "Land of the Portenos" for a while. ...gorgeous guys, big, big uncut dicks, great tops. That's what I recall along with the cultural attributes. (If one does not speak Espanol, he's handicapped; I was in part, for my friend was my interpretor. I also got some guys who were only Spanish speakers and just made it work to the best of my abilities! Don't give up on this place. Yes, it's different from Brasil but does has its enticing qualities! **If you invite guys to your hotel room or to your apartment, just have valuables locked up or hidden. I saw all of my guys at my apartments; I also had things out of sight, etc.;thus, I did not have to worry about them and just had a good time! Too bad that the Inside Restaurant is closed. It was one hell of a hot place in more than one way! M2Sexy, it would have been advisable for you to have asked queries prior to your going, and I, personally, would have had information for you, for I have two guide contacts, one could have gotten you the guys. He's local and on my second visit I used him as my guide and also had him contact the guys for me. A year or so later he and I and his friend "got it on" in my apartment. It was soooooo good! So, try NOT to be too disappointed with this visit of yours. If there is a next time, you'll be prepared beforehand. {I'm leaving town tomorrow and can't give you any guidance. I'm sorry! But I felt I had to tune in here!)

Please put the website on here for one to obtain easily. I guess one could type Chaturbate.com to get it, but....

I can identify with the preceding comment about Christmas. In 2008 when I went to Bangkok for the third time, the place was all aglow and ablaze with Christmas decorations. At my lovely Hotel Montein-- the staff really went all out to make this place as festive as possible. All enhanced our week's tour there before we went onward to Chaing Mai. Thanks for your report; I enjoyed reading it very much and thought about when I'll venture back to "THE LAND of Smiles!"

I have appreciated your posts and photographs! Muito obrigado! I do not plan to visit Brasil in 2016 but do hope that all goes well and that I am ready in 2017. It's been four years now since I last visited my favorite country and Rio de janeiro one of my most favorite of the cities that I've visited in the largest country in South America!

gap1972, I thank you for taking the time to report here about your time and experiences in "The Marvelous City;" I also thank you for your sincerity and honesty and am enjoying the read very much. Keep reporting (when convenient), and do continue to enjoy the cariocas in one of my very favorite cities in this world of ours.

Consult these two sources for some viable information: http://cubaguiagay.blogspot.co.uk. There is an area where you can click for the site to be translated from Espanol to English. The second site offers casa particulars by city and area in terms of Havana. http://www.cuba-junky.com There are a few gay ones, the most popular one from previous reading was the one in which Ojibear stayed. There are reviews accompanying the descriptions. When I was in Havana during the latter 80s or very early 90s, I stayed at the Hotel Libre, the former Hilton. It was virtually impossible for visitors (male/female) to enter the hotel, let alone accompany one to her/his room. In March of this year, my visitor had to be announced via the desk personnel ringing my room. I noticed the same thing happened when I guy was waiting for a young woman. In this case as I left the elevator, I spotted him, a super-gorgeous young man who I thought was my independent guide who had come to the hotel to seek me. Well, I walked toward him and called out his name. To my surprise and disappointment, he was not the guy I was expecting. I went and sat in one of the very much used antique chairs that was in the lobby and began my wait for my guide. As I waited a young lady arrived and met up with her very hot friend. (Also, at the elevator stood a man guarding against visitors entering the rooms of guests (male/female). This was at both the Hotel National and my hotel the Presidente.) I have a connection regarding rooms being rented via the hour/day. Frank's contact information was included in my report which I wrote earlier this year.

Muchas gracias, FloridaRob! ...enjoyed reading and viewing and contemplating my next visit. I've gotten some great information here as well as given some after my second visit last March in spite of my limited time there. I yearn to return sometime in 2016. A good acquaintance of mine who lives in England states firmly that some of the "biggest cocks" from his perspective await one in Cuba. He's been a few times...

Where is this feature? Also, where is the word "delete" in regard to an entire posting that one had posted? The editing button is fine, but at times I've posted only to have it be visible here because I have not found a key or whatever to delete in its entirety!

"Tom's RECOUNTING of...." Mvan1, Stop trying to teach. Our fingers make mistakes; our minds out-think them at times. Men, as you know, we ALL make mistakes, some more frequently than others! RECANT means to take back! I KNOW the difference between the two words. Guess I will have to continue to proofread much more carefully since we have an editor present.

mvan1, I met Tom back in 2003; he and I have communicated here publicly as well as via emails from time to time. I'm quite aware of his contributions and have always appreciated them and was concerned, a few months back, when he felt it necessary not to post anymore pics as he'd previously done when a poster here exposed one of the guys who work at the saunas. Thus, what I wrote did not pertain to what Tom had written lately but what generated the completely unnecessary venom of a few days which began with your attack on me, something which I am not bothered in my "knowing the source" of such things! Perhaps NONE of the shit would NOT have occurred initially if you had NOT attacked me from what I thought pertinent to write in spite of the error which I made, an INNOCENT ONE at that! So, from this juncture, I will not correspond with you via this forum or privately since you have found it necessary to remark about almost everything one has written that does NOT necessarily pertain to you per se as well as to other members! *****I do hope that Tom and others continue to voice their views to enhance the experiences of others as well as to help if the person is seeking advice!

Men, when you get your guides, and if they and you do not mind, their contact information would be most helpful here. If they speak English, share the degree of fluency, por favor. I do not speak or write Espanol and do plan to take with me (in the future) an electronic translator: I do not have a modern cell phone that does this! Have a wonderful trip!

I am NOT bitter although I was the one who was very unnecessarily attacked. I am above being vindictive! But, Ojibear, I know what you mean and meant and completely agree! Now lets leave this page for Tom's recanting of his adventures during the last month of 2015!!!!!! Admin Note: I moved all the posts after this one here so you can debate with each other and not mess up Tom's thread. I did it first with this tread and every one after.

Fellow posters and cyber amigos, thanks for supporting me. I, for one, have NOT and do NOT believe in demeaning anyone here as well as in the real world. What enhancement does it bring? Thus, I am NOT going to dignify the remarks mvan1 made in regard to my error and his "blowing it out of proportion" beyond natural limits. I've apologized to the OP; I will not remark about my initial writing anymore. I will NOT participate in a tic for tac caustic game, name calling, the putting down of one over something that is rather insignificant, etc.... To correct myself: I'd meant to write Caribbean (Cuba) instead of Central America. I know Mvan1 does NOT plan to travel there until we Americans can travel there on our own free will, but he apparently does remember our public and private communication about this! I'll let it rest from here! So, guys, let us ALL move on and continue to write helpful and informative comments and pages about what and why this forum was initially formed. Let's continue to support instead of ridiculing and demeaning! Let's try to "AGREE to DISAGREE!" As I told a group of Board members on several occasions, "Leave your egos at the door!" In our case, "don't let our fingers type and post!" Let us ask ourselves if what we're writing any benefit to anyone who reads and/or write here!!!!

I erred in my response. I MISREAD! I apologize to the man who initially wrote the query. I am ALSO quite COGNIZANT of the places the "OP" mentioned, for I've been there and have witnessed as well as engaged the services of.... Unfortunately, I overlooked his words: "except saunas" for I read too rapidly! So ALL is now clear! **mvan1, try to hold off in showing your "apparent, quasi omniscient answers to and about everything "South or Central America."

"Hustler Bars?" During my travels to Rio de janeiro and from all of the "in-depth" reading that I've done and websites consulted, there has NEVER been mention anything about "hustler bars" but an extensive dialogue regarding saunas. So what's your "real question?"

I am thankful for being alive and in somewhat reasonably good health! A Wonderful and Blessed Thanksgiving to all of my "bt" associates!

"No! No! No! He's mighty enamored by fisting; I'm not, for it does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me." "I've relayed that to him often!"
