For me too @davet they are the most desirable of male companions. And if they are muscled and eager to bottom, I would be in heaven. Perhaps I spent too much of my youth in Southern California… All I know is that such rare guys were to be found in Prague but they often went to work in Zurich. Their habits may have changed. I hope others with expert, current knowledge will be along to advise you.

I guess it also depends on how quickly you get through Immigration & Customs. If there is a line of people awaiting processing, perhaps you can walk to the head of the line. If challenged, just say you have “a sauna emergency”. There shouldn’t be any argument but if there is, feel free to add that you are “sexually incontinent” and any delay may cause you to burst open. Good Luck @Canadianbtmguy

So are you two planning to put on ‘a show’? Unless you both are exhibitionists and like having voyeurs, why not just take a room at a love-hotel which rents rooms by the hour?

Not to dispute what you posted @Thomas_88 but BelAmi did a lot of filming using a studio in Bratislava and places in the country. I met and played with some BelAmi guys years ago and I was told this by them. IIRC there was some restriction imposed by BelAmi so that their videos were not available locally. It helped the working guys protect their identities and family life.

Lovely report @richard265 Thanks for taking the time to describe the experience so well.

Lots of attractive, masculine young Slovaks moved to London for work. I met several in the first decade of this century. All had fit athletic bodies, were compliant in bed, happy to bottom and swallow loads. I’ve kept in touch with a couple who now have office jobs.

Possibly. But not for certain. It’s normal practice in Latin America to check the ID of any unregistered person going to an hotel room. Just bear in mind that hotel staff have ALREADY seen EVERYTHING in their working lives. So live your life to the full and don’t worry about what others may, or may not, think.

IMO you’re really overthinking this @12is12. Just book double occupancy for your room in the hotel you prefer and ask Reception to check ID when you have a visitor. Don’t fret over the possible charge as it’s a VERY small price to pay for your security. BTW when do you visit Colombia.?

I’ve certainly used them in Buenos Aires, where hotels that rent by the hour are referred to as “telos”. And I know they exist in other cities. They are popular with heterosexual and homosexual couples. Conveniently located and clean, they offer a range of facilities but usually include a double bed, showers, towels, toothbrush & paste etc. I always just turned up with my guy and paid cash (as I’m wary of potential credit card fraud). Don’t abandon common sense, however, if you’re going with a stranger. Take minimal cash, leave valuables in your hotel room safe etc - I’ve heard 2x of guys getting robbed at knifepoint once in the room.

It’s not just a Colombian phenomenon @richard265 I found the same to be true in Argentina. After my first trip, when I dressed casually, I always dressed formally in Buenos Aires and I attracted a lot of guys. And, of course, having a big thick wallet doesn’t hurt 😊

Sad news. I feel it always pays to be wary when making assignations in areas of great economic inequality.

I feel that’s only sensible @partiamo1. FWIW I’m an older man too and I enjoy spending time with young men. I’ve travelled extensively for many years. During long stays, especially in Latin America and Africa, I’ve often been hit on by nice young men. Nothing may be said about money, but I understand that young men are hoping to improve their circumstances. So it pays to be generous. If I have fun, I take guys shopping for clothes etc the next morning. If I really hit it off with a guy and want to enjoy his company more, I suggest an all-expenses paid vacation. Many guys have not travelled outside their own country and they accept with delight. I’ve had some great times in return for being generous so I feel the older/younger dynamic works well when “mutual benefit” is the guiding principle.

I agree he should be named. I have my suspicion about one poster that I’ve helped.

Interesting report @topjohn5 So what do you do about going out for drinks and to eat dinner?

I asked a very similar question @partiamo1 a few months back. I’m similar to you, but I’m only a top and I enjoy being sucked off. IIRC it was @Santiagodc who replied. The answer was that he only met guys who wanted to be serviced orally. He wasn’t aware of guys who were willing to reciprocate or perform fully. I’ll be interested to see if others report differently.

I’m not a person of color but I’ve extensive experience of/in Barcelona over 25 years. I believe POC get treated equally. I’ve never witnessed in Barcelona the discrimination based on skin color that I have seen in various countries of Latin America. Barcelona has all sorts of ethnicities. Unless you’re very expert in Spanish, I doubt you’ll be able to tell whether you’re speaking to a Catalan, Cuban, Argentine or Peruvian.

It’s always good to see bureaucracy becoming more efficient in the US. As an aside, the UK Passport Office has offered a same-day renewal service for more than 20 years. You have to reserve a time-slot and take your old passport in about 9.30am to collect the new one after 2pm. Last time I did this, the total cost was about $160.

I know Buenos Aires well (having spent more than a year there in total) but I haven’t been back in a few years. I’ve rarely seen big muscle guys there @fitboynyc but I did so twice in Recoleta. I too like the “ripped fitness model types” mentioned. I found them at Megatlon gyms in upmarket areas. The gym mentioned by @Latbear4blk was popular and known as gay. I did hookup there but I found more ‘model types’ at the Megatlon in the mall named Alto Palermo Shopping.

I’d expect air fares to rise in price even more as the year progresses @speedoo1 Energy costs are up sharply with supply being down, and aviation fuel is bound to rise further in price. Also airlines will want to begin repairing their balance sheets after their large losses during the global pandemic.

May I ask the name of this massage place (and any other info you can share) please @Riobard ?

Yes. Your links don’t work (for me, at least). The website you need for both hotels is www.axel hotels.com The first named is the original hotel - the first in BCN aimed at the gay market. It’s classed as 4* but that’s generous IMO. I haven’t stayed there in 12 years but the rooms and bathrooms were basic and service was almost non-existent. It’s more 2*-3* in my view. The location is very good as you can easily walk everywhere and see the sights, visit restaurants etc. As it happens I looked to buy an apartment in the vicinity of that hotel. It’s a smart area. I ended up buying near the second hotel named. The main difference in my view for a gay male visitor is convenience. If you plan to spend lots of time in the gay sauna Thermas, the second hotel is only 5-6 minutes walk from it. The location is decent, good lower middle-class area, residential and it’s a short walk to the stop for the Airport bus (which is rapid and cheap).

Book a seat on the high-speed train @Menaughty

So where are the handsome Venezuelans now to be found @macdaddi ?

You may have more luck @Alex_Berl if you start a separate thread. Put your request as something like “Seeking hotel & recommendations for Salvador” I’m sure there are posters here who are also travelers that stayed in Salvador but they will see your request more easily if it stands alone as a thread.

Perhaps the escorts have had so little income in the past year or so that they are now trying to make up the shortfall. Perhaps they are just being greedy. Perhaps there are few regular clients, but I’d expect them to be given a discount. Personally I can only see a ‘gym-god’ getting £300/$430 an hour.
