You would be lucky to pay less, some guys are asking, and getting, £300 or more. London is really one of the worst value places in the world when it comes to hiring. Quote

Well, I'm in New York at present, and most guys are asking $400. Got one down to 350! One asked for 500. I politely declined! AsianExplorer and floridarob 1 1 Quote

This time he confirmed that the 'going rate' was 400, though I got a discount, to 350, as a regular! I saw another guy tonight, whom I hadn't seen for 3 years. He is really attractive, African American and Native American. Sex was great, and he only wanted 300. He is not on escort sites any more, so he may be a bit out of touch. I gave him a big tip, though, as I almost drowned in his cum! xpaulo 1 Quote

When I am in Barcelona I never pay over 100e simply because I can always get what I want under 100 but I am sure that is not the case for many cities in Western Europe. Quote

Crowded. Too hot for me as well. Food good, though, but pricey. Airport can be a nightmare, as, in my experience, foreigners, even though they provide the cash, are treated like cattle! vinapu 1 Quote

Frenchfrank Posted July 16 Posted July 16 I contacted a couple of masseurs there and was quoted circa £200 for an hour at a hotel - the lad started nearer £300. I declined. I was en route to KL where similar Indonesian lads will readily accept £50 or less. vinapu 1 Quote
Members davet Posted July 19 Members Posted July 19 Should move this to another thread but don't ask don't tell has been the working model in Arab and Islamic countries for centuries. Idealized pederasty (probably after the Greek practice) was written up in medieval Persian and Arab poetry. Consumptive 19th century French writers went to North Africa for recuperation and certain commonly available forms of comfort. Quote

Could you please post some info re: gay KL in the Gay Malaysia forum, or perhaps PM me? London is too far for me at the moment but KL is very easy to get to. Thanks Quote
