Guest EXPAT Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 London has so much to choose from. You can't go wrong there. Quote
Members mvan1 Posted December 29, 2012 Members Posted December 29, 2012 Hi Guys, Which European city would be best for a weekend of sex (clubs, rentboys, saunas) in February? Thanks - If you are looking for an unusual weekend with lots of sauna guys, without question, Barcelona is the place. Barcelona has lots of saunas but only one "rent-boy" sauna named Sauna Thermas. It is open twenty-four hours but it is busiest around three o'clock p.m. (or so) until eight o'clock p.m. The sauna was recently redecorated and is clean and somewhat cheerful. On the other hand, there is Madrid with only one rent-boy sauna (Sauna Adan). This is a smaller sauna than the one in Barcelona discussed above. It is not as clean and the atmosphere is not friendly due to the attitude of the person who supposedly manages the small Sauna Adan. The employee or "friend" of the owners who works at reception is incredibly rude to most customers and rent-boys. He comes out of his little cage where he collects the entrance fees and while he is in the sauna, he does a good job of making customers and rent-boys uncomfortable. Until that person is no longer working at Sauna Adan, I will not enter the place again. In Madrid, in the evening, if you are looking for good looking hustlers or rent-boys (if you prefer that word), there is a bar that is called "Black & White" which is easy to find (just google Black & White - Madrid) and you will find the address. The bar is on a corner and is often filled with handsome available rent-boys. Another place in Europe would be Zurich. There is a very nice sauna (with rent-boys) called Paragonya. It is in old town and is extremely clean. This sauna is in a commercial building and is listed on the building directory as "Wellness Center - Paragonya" You can find the address from Google. The available rent-boys at Paragonya varies from very handsome and masculine to very "nelly" and quite lound and queenish. The nelly rent-boys comprise about one-fourth of the available rent-boys. There used to be a bar near Paragonya named Carousel. It is still advertised but when I was there a couple of months ago, the place was closed without any sign. I went there several different days. The telephone listed rings but no one every answered. If you pick Zurich, you might want to check it out. The address and telephone number can be obtained from Google. I hope the above information will be of use to you. Happy travels. - TotallyOz 1 Quote
12is12 Posted December 29, 2012 Author Posted December 29, 2012 Thanks MVAN1 for the very detailed response. I'm a bit surprised nobody mentioned Budapest or Prague... Quote
Members mvan1 Posted December 29, 2012 Members Posted December 29, 2012 Thanks MVAN1 for the very detailed response. I'm a bit surprised nobody mentioned Budapest or Prague... Budapest does not have saunas typical to what is found in Brazil, Barcelona, Madrid and Zurich (and Vienna). Meetings of rent-boys take place in bars, from the internet or on the street or in certain restaurants (coffee shops). Although it is possible to meet a rent-boy in Budapest, the likihood is slim that you would meet someone compatible, considering you have so little time (only a weekend) and the lack of easy access to them (except for the internet). Meeting from the internet can be difficult because you are taking the word of the rent-boy's advertisement and seeing pictures that might or might not be genuine or current. Prague I used to like a lot. However, I have not been there for a couple of years because of the heavy drug use by many (most?) of the rent-boys. Prague is a beautiful city that was not destroyed during the war as were many other cities. But, for a weekend to meet rent-boys in Prague would be hit-or-miss. Of course, there are areas were street hustlers can be found but between the language barrier and the drugs, I would not recommend going to Prague for the purpose you stated. It is simply too dangerous. On the other hand, if you had more time to spend there, you eventually would meet someone you like. But, in the winter with only a weekend to spend, I would not be optimistic that you would have success. - TotallyOz 1 Quote
Members axiom2001 Posted December 31, 2012 Members Posted December 31, 2012 Hi Guys, Which European city would be best for a weekend of sex (clubs, rentboys, suanas) in February? Thanks What about BERLIN? Quote
Members Lucky Posted January 3, 2013 Members Posted January 3, 2013 I do not know Berlin, but from what I have heard, I had expected everyone to at least include it! Especially for leather and kink. Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Montpellier, France. It's the gay capitol of southern europe. It's very inexpensive compared to bigger cities, it's warm all winter and roughly 33 percent of men aged 18 to 30 in the city center identify as gay or bi. Also, of the 50,000 people who live in the city center 12,000 speak English as their native language so it's easy to communicate. It's a pedestrian city so you don't need to drive or worry about driving drunk and it's pretty much impossible to not get laid at night. The last time I was there there were more guys on Grndr than there were in any given area of Paris. boiworship and flipao 2 Quote
TotallyOz Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I love Montpellier. I have been there several times over the years. flipao 1 Quote
Guest Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Maybe 3 or 4 years ago, Berlin was great. Three rent boy bars all close together and "Club Sauna Brasil", with customers of all ages, plus loads of rent boys. The sauna was superb. The rent boys tended to wear swimming trunks, so they were easy to spot. They were cute to look at and not at all pushy. So you could look for free sex and if no one took your fancy, go for a rent boy. Last time I was there, the sauna was remodelled and renamed. All the rent boys had gone and on my visits, the customers were mainly old and overweight. I think the 3 rent boy bars are still there, but on my 2011 visit, it was difficult to find anyone I liked. I alwasy enjoyed Prague and managed to find some charming people in Club Temple. I always felt safe in the city, but have not been since 2010. Budapest was a major dissappointment. Some venues were closed when I was there and when I visited the one bar that was supposed to have a few rent boys, there was one obvious hustler there who was not my type at all and nothing else. I would like to find a few more cities with rent boy bars or saunas -somewhere new to see in the day time, with some good opportunities for fun in the evening. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 The internet has destroyed the escort bars. I really miss the days of NUMBERS in Weho or ROUNDS in NYC. They were fun bars where you could meet very interesting guys. That is now all gone thanks to the internet. Quote
Members Gotti Posted January 12, 2013 Members Posted January 12, 2013 I totally agree, have fond memories of Rounds, even if you did not take anybody home there were always the ambience, the decadent atmosphere of those in the know, very NYC, both sides of the entertainment business, the entrepreneurs and the pretenders. Rent boys were more like courtesans or male gheyshas, were nowadays everything are zero and ones and the coldness of Grindr. But to be fair what really killed Rounds was not the Internet, but the assassin of all true NY institutions: Rudolph Giuliani, the worst scumbag that has ever lived. Quote
Guest Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Some fresh ideas for Europe in 2013 would be good. Or do we need to stick to the usual options of Prague, Berlin or just risking a major dissappointment with Gay Romeo? Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I live in Europe and I'll be happy to give you guys fresh ideas once you visit Montpellier, which is one of the best cities in the world for gay vacations. An inexpensive, warm city where one third of the male population is gay - yet, no matter how often Oz and I talk about it nobody goes. flipao 1 Quote
Guest Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 OK, so I'm thinking about Montpellier. Quite a few escorts on Gay Romeo, but those who quote prices want Eur150 an hour. That's expensive. Are there any rent boy bars, or is it a choice between Gay Romeo and the outdoor cruising (referred to in other threads)? Quote
Guest tomcal Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I have been going to Prague twice a year for the past 4 years and have never been disappointed or not had a good time. One of the few cities left with rentboy bars which i personally find more exciting and fun then hiring off gayromeo(although I did hire a great guy in Prague last year off there). The strip club Escape has recently been sold and remodeled so it remains to be seen if it will keep enough new boys coming to keep functioning as a strip club/rentboy bar. You don't have the numbers or selection that you do in a Brazilian sauna, but it's different look and I think no matter what your type you could find it there, although the majority of the guys seem to be twink to natural builds, fewer body builders if that's what you are looking for. I personally haven't come across guys with drug problems that other posters have referred to, but that may just have been good luck on my part! Quote
Guest tomcal Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Here is the prague guy i hired off of gayromeo. He has been in several Wm. Higgens films in 2012. you can't quite see from the photo but he has the biggest balls I have ever seen...and I have seen alot! lol He came to the hotel every afternoon the last trip, he is Russian but lives in Prague Quote
Members flipao Posted January 20, 2013 Members Posted January 20, 2013 thank you Tomcal for sharing the pictures! Quote
Members msclelovr Posted January 21, 2013 Members Posted January 21, 2013 I rate Barcelona highly. There are a lot of attractive young men who are available. Most are working more or less: some are 'professional' and have online profiles, some work out of Thermas while some just seek a little extra cash. And apart from the men, the city has a lot to offer by way of architecture, history, restaurants and theatre. episevilla and flipao 2 Quote
Guest tomcal Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I agree with Msclelovr! Barcelona is a great city for fun and tourism. Probably one of the most beautiful man I have ever been with was a Argentinian I met at Thermas sauna! I have also found most of the guys there that I have asked are more then willing to come back to your hotel. Quote
Members Lucky Posted January 23, 2013 Members Posted January 23, 2013 I agree with Tomcal. Thermas Sauna is a wonderful, fun place, and Barcelona a great city to visit. Quote
Members boiworship Posted February 3, 2013 Members Posted February 3, 2013 I spent time in Prague in late 2001 and loved. Gorgeous city with hot boys. I took a weekend trip to Budapest and had the scariest experience ever. Complete shakedown with threats. They were Romanians, many of whom had mafia ties. I was up all night looking out the windows and felt immensely relieved when the early morning flight back to Prague departed. Quote
