Prague ain't all that anymore

[TownsendPLocke]

Sadly I must report that Prague is a mere shadow of the Funland it used to be. Escape is reallly the only venue worth visiting IMO and the selection there is for a limited type of fella. 

Temple had 10 people in it on Saturday at 12:30

Villa Mansland was something so weird/boring that I thought we had made a wrong turn and had gone to the Kafka museum instead

I will file a fuller report later but I am putting this here as a placemarker.

Gosh, another poster here who lives in Prague might disagree. He sways he has all he needs in Prague. Escape is apparently a shadow of its former self.

Well, I live in Prague and I do not completely disagree. I can understand the frustration.

I believe there is a big difference between visting this city and living here. I have built a very nice group of regulars and extras, and I sometimes do not have enough time to play as much as I would like. I am not --and have never been-- into the bar and club scene, so I cannot provide first hand information on it, but I have heard comments similar to the ones expressed by Townsend. 

Yes, I am a VERY happy camper in Prague. Different strokes....

There are plenty of charming Prague escorts....................in Zurich, London, Berlin, Dresden, Nurnemburg, .....you name it. Also many of the older guys in the Prague stable are getting too old to escort, and there's not much market, especially in winter, in Prague. After all, Prague is a modest-income middle-size city. I was hoping that FelixDarkwood and Pavel were a new wave of young BelAmi guys in Prague to replace the retiring ones, but both of them seem to be out-of-town constantly. Agent077 is in Baden-Baden, Kristenprg is in Nuremberg, DawidWhiteStar is usually in Basel, CzechPornStar is usually in Zurich, etc. 

Young Czechs are still very open to $ and if you approach some on Grindr and the non-escort Romeo you will find perhaps most are not opposed, much less offended, by escort offers. (Massage20 for 2000CZK on Grindr is an excellent start).

After visiting prague last year and great advice from forum members, i had an OK time but not the same level of excitement that I had when I went to the saunas in Barcelona, where I felt like a kid in a candy store. I presume in prague, you have to work hard at sourcing these hot guys from online hookup/dating sites. In nyc, i have found a number of guys who are not escorts per se, but after striking up an online conversation, followed up with picture exchange and possibly coffee,  will do it for steady/easy cash. I'm seeing 3 regular guys at the moment: an italian model, a midwestern violinist and a blonde ballet dancer by meeting them online and they are not escorts. I guess everyone has a price...but I look forward to your review of Prague! I'm hoping that other germanic cities, i.e., Berlin, Vienna might provide more rewarding escort experiences....

In just responding to a thread on Berlin I realized that Prague is simply becoming a more modern scene. Just like Berlin, the bars are dead or left to the bottom-of-the-barrel.The average and certainly the better guys are all online. Because many of the better Prague guys travel or relocate it's harder to know who's available when, but that's the case in any city online. In the US half the guys are in different cities every week.

Still, Prague has a better stable of guys who are in Prague (or close) at any certain time (possibly because many have girlfriends or even wives and children!). It's just very complicated arranging things online in advance and much worse trying to find availables on the same day.

tasso has valid points.

Like I said in a previous post, visiting is quite different from living here. Every week, I look at my work and social schedule and I plan my customary 2-3 dates accordingly. I am thus able to plan in advance, and give the guys some notice. 

There is another peculiarity about the escort market in Prague: the boys rely mainly on visitors, because local clients are rare (the Czechs hire very, very little according to what my boys tell me). That is why they go to Zurich or Germany. In addition to my pleasant disposition, my bed talents , and my money (how could I forget that?   ), the fact that I am local is what makes me such a rare pearl to the boys. I like my regulars and, even if I throw new cards into the lot from time to time, I am very loyal to them. Sort of a steady income which they appreciate.  I just came back from a terrific, fantastic, awesome meeting with one of them (sorry, no kiss and tell, because he no longer advertises) which, according to my anally --pun intended-- meticulous records, was our 35th time together in a year and a half. Yes, I am a very happy camper, I am.

I promised to file a fuller report so here you go.

 I stayed at the Sheraton while my friend stayed at the Radisson-both of which are easy walks to Escape, IMO there should be no problem bringing boys back to either hotel as long as they are not total street urchins. The Radisson does have key control in the elevators so you would have to meet a date in the lobby.

We went to (or rather tried to go to) Escape all four nights of our stay The first night (Thursday) Escape was closed due to some technical problems which made us worry that this trip would be a total bust. Not to worry it was open all other nights with Friday and Saturday being very busy. Cover charge is 200 kc You are handed a plastic drink card and you settle your bill (including cover charge) at the bar when you leave.

I was with friends that like to drink-a lot! So they moved us to a large banquette near the stage, Next night we were moved to the "Golden Chair" which is right in the center of the club. Just FYI there is a minimum spend required to sit in most of the booths/tables near the stage. If you order Champagne it is brought out by a group of boys with great flourish- a fun show! There is a card on the table advertising body shots/special drinks with the boys type things at pretty high prices. The boys are happy to sit with you if you buy them drinks. As usual it is best to order from a waiter rather than let the boy use your card at the bar.

The boys all tended towards the twinkish type. Only one (nicknamed "Golem" ) was the sort of fella I really fancy. The fellas tending bar/waiting tables are all lovely hunks-much more my cuppa. The boys do attempt to "dance" and some of them are better than others   There are several "special" shows during the evening including some live sex shows. 

On our first night one of our table had a private with a blonde 18 year old The set up is not too bad. The house takes a fee of 400 KC ($16 USD at the time of our visit) and then whatever happens in the back is between you and the boy. Blondie let it be known rather quickly that he would suck my friend off but would not allow anything else. The fee was rather outrageous but my friend paid it anyway. 

The boys ask for 4,000-6,000 KC and while I am sure some fellas pay that (such as my friend) negotiations for lower fees are very common. Most would be very happy with 1,500- 2,000 KC. Negotiations for more personal encounters are also the norm. 3,000 is not an insulting starting  price for this.

We did explore Temple- it was a very quick visit as there were only five fellas there besides the staff. 

Sunday night Escape was much slower. There were also a few woman (all brought in by fellas) in the crowd. All the women behaved and there was no real problem with them.

We also drove out to Villa Mansland. This involved a long and rather complicated drive. The occupants were- One Tranny, One strung out twink, One middle aged "entertainer" singing Karaoke , the two German owners( who never said a word to us) and a middle eastern boy who spoke no english and had a lot of difficulty making change of a 500 kc note. We were not there long.

I also attempted a hire off of Planet Romeo. The fella not only did not respond he deleted his profile! I guess I scared him away from a life of sin!

 

We did enjoy the city-as we always do. A friend rented a car and we had lovely drives exploring Kunta Hora  and Cesky Krumlov both of which are well worth the drive. We had some nice meals. If anyone wants resto recommendations please private me,

"  Berlin, Vienna might provide more rewarding escort experiences.." We were in Vienna before our visit to Prague. It is an absolutely gorgeous city (my first visit there) and the eye candy on the streets is phenomenal. Panet Romeo and Grinder had some great listings although I did not hire anyone. 

We took the train from Vienna to Prague in the Business class carriage (the top level)- 50 EU well spent,

visiting prague this week

anybody any good recommendations on boys to hire?

a nice athletic English speaking student would be nice

[Guest]

Czech Escorts have long since enjoyed the freedom to work anywhere in the EU, so it follows many of them will be working where they can earn more money.    A decline in the scene is therefore no surprise.

On my first visit to Prague, there was a reasonable selection in Pinnochio (Club Temple) & cruising the railway station was often productive.  That's more fun than the apps AND you can look the guys in the eye before concluding any deal, which I still think is more reliable than a phone app meeting.

I think my last trip was about 3 years ago. Club Temple only had one guy of interest & he was a lot of trouble.   The best Czech guy I met on that holiday was in Dresden, before I even arrived in Prague.

Interesting! I was in Prague and Budapest in late September/early October of 2001. Never hooked up in Prague, since I wasn't into the hobby then, but was struck by how beautiful the younger people were. Budapest was a disappointment and I had a rather harrowing experience there. That said, I plan to be in Vienna and on to Amsterdam in May, with a side trip to Bratislava. I'd love to know more about the scene in Wien and Bratislava, which appears to be a smaller and more conservative Prague..

[TownsendPLocke]

Lots and lots of fellas on Grinder/Planet Romeo looking for "assistance" in Vienna. Just walking around town will get you very worked up-so many cute guys.

I did not get to any bars because of the outrageous levels of smoking.
