Lotus is an area next to the dance floor in upper part of Theatron, where strippers perform. I was told the naked strippers (i think 4) were from Brazil. Well, nobody was shy. It was Thursday evening and all willing (including non-tipping) could interact with strippers „in various ways“, by 2.30am there was not even lots of crowd around, so everybody could get few slaps with a large dick on their face 😄. The performing boys seemed to have fun with all! There was a discussion if they could be hired - since they rotate, when leaving the stage, they could be contacted (and some visitors did) and maybe a nice card with phone number presented for followup. The strippers were super hot beefy Entrance - Thursday 15K (ID required, I had copy of passport), drinks 25K. Many bought bottle of whisky or vodka with mixers. Security was high. The audience was nice crowd, circuit boys though would go to El Mozzo club (I was told). Btw-everybody is filming everything in Lotus. Guys themselves, guests, their gfs, bfs, strippers.

Ohh..the testing site, yes it was second floor past Hyatt.

I was on the 4th or 5th floor (last), used elevator and then stair. Bedroom, kitchen and balkony. In fact two balkonies. Small flat.

I stayed in Beyoglu, Ülker sokak street, was quiet and ok area, close to Marmara Taksim Hotel. It was in 2021 when pandemic was still going on but Turkey was few countries which allowed tested visitors. When leaving, test was again required and i remember a test center in Taksim square where covid test was made withouth touching my nose. The swab stopped 3 mm before the nose😄

Hornet has more guys then grindr. I have met many guys in the airbnb in Istanbul center (affordable local hotels are not visitor friendly). Small terrace and view of the Bosporus strait. One really hot and fit guy liked older guys with bold head (I am), well I was happy to fulfill his fantasy. One guy was probably a thieve - he was nervous and strange, next day I realised my cc is gone, not sure when and how he managed. I saw in the banking app purchase attempts in the same evening.

I am in the anal cancer screening (once a year) since I have abnormal cells (AIN 1,2). Sample from the anal wall (specialised surgeon will take it) must be inspected in lab to confirm pre-cancer or cancer cells, there may be nothing visible. Anal cancer is rare, science is not aligned how to treat them in pre-cancer stage (like abnormal cells) some even question why then to screen those abnormal cells. If it develops into cancer, then treatment is standard. I dont see or feel anything, its really game on the cell level. My doc said if they develop further he removes them with laser. They may come back or not.

I eventually had a date in my lodge. The care taker was a bit surprised. The Guy (24) was sweet and sexy, he travelled by matatu ca 30km to meet me. Electricity was off, so the aircon. It was humid and 30 Celsius. The staff was walking around to fix the grid. I did not give up though 😁, was worth. I had my "Security clearance" whatsup call with him before and decided its safe. I meet also 2 young guys for a beer, however they we're looking for western bf, and generally were a bit boring and not my types. Heard lots of local gossip and a story how one westerner was drugged and his money and all the things found a new owner. Kenyans are proud and educated people. Universities are across the country, so many guys around even in provincial capitals (and a traveling gay daddy is great option for them and for some fulfillment of their fetish). I think in less touristic places are less tricksters. But then a westerner would stood out in its Expedition.

I was last week in Nairobi and now near Mombasa. Nairobi is in African standards clean and reasonably safe (not so much after dark though). International hotels allow visitors (they like money and are in a hospitality business). Grindr is exploding, but expect many tricksters and conmen. Pictured are often not the reality. Many guys are probably sincere but they look a bit rough and hotel security will be surprised when you enter hotel (xray or just sitting guy checking). I did not have courage to try out. In beach resort found a massage guy with own booth and he did extra, was ok. I guess experienced gay expats can have good time. Main thing to consider that most guys have smaller or severe income issues. And Africa is anyhow intense for European, so keep your head cool😀. ps while gaysex is illegal, the extreme worse case is an extortion. White guys are still somehow respected (colonial past pluss money), so the extertion is mostly problem for locals (“we tell your relatives”). Racism is sometimed an issue between locals (kenyans-somalis-hindus), not so much for visitors.
