ARGENTINA Jun/Jul 2018

[Latbear4blk]

I am starting this thread to report on my trip to Argentina, where I arrived last Wednesday. My original plan was getting immediately devoted to collect experiences with professionals to feed my blog and share here and at daddy's, but unexpected circumstances have changed that.

My dad died last Sunday. I loved him very much and I am still a little bit disoriented and putting myself together. He had a painless and quick death, which is immensely comforting. I was lucky to be with a very good friend when I received the news by phone, just a few hours after I called him to wish him a happy Father's Day. I left DC on Tuesday. It was a tough flight and as a therapy I wrote the attached text. If you can read Spanish, you will see what I can do when I am not writing in my broken English. I have been with my family yesterday and the day before, crying a lot, and today I am starting to feel better. On Saturday 30th we will spread his ashes. Viñetas del viejo.pages (this is a Pages document)

My focus right now is my 80 years old mother, who fortunately is strong and healthy. We are a strong and big family, and dad was widely loved and respected (he was a veteran journalist, director of the main newspaper in the region, kind of a local celebrity), so we have plenty of support.

I apologize for bringing this issue, but sharing is my way to process it. I also wanted to give you context so it is clear why I am not as productive as expected. I will be in Buenos Aires on July 11th and I do plan to be back to my regular hornyness by then. I am hopeful that I will be able to report on some providers in Corrientes, where I am right now. 

Disclaimer delivered, let's go back to business.

If you visit Argentina, the chances are you will be flying first to Buenos Aires. The name of the International Airport is Ezeiza (EZE), it is a 20' ride from downtown when traffic is good. A car from there to the city is about U$S 38, which the option I took although it is very expensive in my opinion. There is a cheaper option, a bus service called Manuel Tienda de Leon. When you walk out of the luggage retrieve/customs section, before getting to the airport lobby you have to walk through a big room with the booths of different transportation services on the sides. You have different rental car, car services and the mentioned bus company. My advise is to hire your transportation there, it is the safest option even if you may find a cheaper car in the lobby.

You may go straight yo your hotel or apartment, or you may go to take your combination flight. Ezeiza is the international airport, domestic flights are handled from Aeroparque, right in the city. This is a picture taken from the boarding area in Aeroparque:

You can see behind a few trees from the Bosques de Palermo, and some buildings of that wealthy neighborhood. Aeroparque is a modern facility just refurnished, but not fully up to a prime standard. All domestic flights from Buenos Aires depart from there, plus a few ones to the closes countries. It looks great and very functional but, for instance, you may lose some of your frequent flyers privileges. Boarding gates have sleeves, and you line up to board according to your status priority. However, there is a chance that instead of using the sleeve you will be directed to board a bus (which happened to me when boarding my flight to Corrientes) that will take you to the airplane. If this is the case, forget about your priority, but be alert. When not using the sleeves you are able to board the plane through two doors, the regular one in the dron and one in the back. When we stepped out of the bus everyone lined up to board through the front door without realizing the back one was also open. I was the first one to realize it and ended being one of the first 5 passengers taking his seat, and comfortably watching the crowd struggling to place their bags.

You can see here some prices:

These are airport prices, always higher than everywhere else. When I took this pic the dollar was $ 28.20. When I am writing this post, its value is 27.76. The currency exchange changes with the minute, and the economic situation is unstable right now. Debit cards and credit cards are full functional. I advise to bring the cash you will need and use your CC as much as possible. I withdrew about U$S 100 in pesos, and had to pay about U$S 10 as a fee for the exchange.

Buenos Aires and Aeroparque are in the waterfront of the Rio de la Plata:

The river is so wide, as you can see in the picture, that you cannot see the other coast line, which would be Uruguay. When the Spaniards discovered the river, they thought it was a unique case of freshwater ocean, and named it Mar Dulce.

The average Argentine human being is not as big as the American, be prepared for very narrow seats in the plane. If you are close to need an extension for the safety belt in an American plane, you will probably need one here.

I am in Corrientes city now, in the Argentinian Mesopotamia. The city is the capital of the homonymous province (=state), its population is about 400K. It is a very conservative and Catholic culture, place in the beautiful sore of the Río Paraná, the biggest subsidiary of the Río de la Plata. You will probably have more pictures later, right now I can show you a typical street in a traditional neighborhood:

The houses are mostly one story, the townhouse version of Spanish colonial architecture. We call them "casas chorizo" because the basic design is all the rooms lining up one after the other to the left, with a patio/garden to the right side. The life style is very relaxed and different to Buenos Aires. Banks are opened from 7AM to 1 PM. Supermarkets are open all day long, but most stores open 8 to 12, and then 4PM to 8 or 10 PM. The siesta is sacred. Prices are significant lower then in the national capital. You can see some in these pictures:

While I am writing this post, a parade of collection cars, part of a festival, is passing in front of my parents apartment. This shirt video was taken from the balcony:

I have been researching the local escorts market, which is not easy. Everything is very clandestine here. Thanks to the local forums I found a contact that promised me to give me some tips. The first guys he recommended me were not a match for me, but I do have one that may be interesting. I have only his number and this picture:

He is 27 y.o., versatile, a soccer player, and a member of one of the local law enforcement agencies. Being in Corrientes that could be the State Police, the Federal Police, the Gendarmería (borders security) or the Prefectura Naval (rivers/ocean security). I will learn which one when I contact him if I contact him. Because of the circumstances I shared before, my libido is not very alive. I have not masturbated since last Sunday, when I usually do it everyday at least once. I should be back to my regular me soon.

A couple more pics that may interest you. This is a standard bathroom in any home in Argentina:

As you can see, there is a bidet. It is really unusual an Argentine bathroom without one, and I will never understand how Americans, so focused always in max comfort have not yet acquire this as a national standard. 

For those into cooking, like my adorable @epigonos, this is one of my favorite traditional dishes in Paraguay and Argentinean Northeast, the mbaipu or mbapy (name from Guaraní, language of the homonymous native nation).

 

[trencherman]

Condolences on your dad's passing. 

A pesar de eso, thank you for the effort starting an informative  and interesting reporting on Argentina (and Uruguay?)

[tassojunior]

So sorry for your loss. I know it's painful.

[Tartegogo]

Condolences, this must be quite painful especially if you were close.

You made me wonder how I will react to my own father’s departure when it happens, thanks for sharing with us.

[Latbear4blk]

DOLLAR RIGHT NOW: U$S 1 = $AR 28.05

Time goes and I am slowly getting back to normal. I am definitely horny again, and soon you will have some hot experiences to enjoy. You can skip to the bottom of this post if you are only interested on the local men.

In the meanwhile, I am enjoying my family and friends. Last Sunday we had a delicious traditional "asado":

What you see is the reduced version that families usually grill at home "parrillas". If you go to a restaurant you have much more choices, but those require a mastery that most regular people lack of. This is what my brother can do, and he does it pretty well. A kg of ribs is about $170 in the butchery. The sausages between $80 and 170 depending on quality, the blood sausages are $130, and they are premium. I am always talking about price per kilogram. 

Weather is really wonderful. We are in the core of the local winter and the lowest temperatures, at sunrise, are never below 6C (I am in the metric system guys, sorry). During the day we even reach somedays the 25/27C. I took a walk on Tuesday by the local coast line avenue, the Avenida Costanera. If you do not see anyone is because the match between Nigeria and the national team was taking place during the World Cup, as you know this is soccer head land:

Corrientes is a beautiful city, if you love fishing and rivers, you will fall in love with her. The Parana river is my favorite one out of all the water streams of the world I know. Just 40' driving from Corrientes city there is a small village called Paso de la Patria that has just a few thousand of local residents. But it is the place where the middle class from Corrientes city and from Resistencia (the capital of the state on the other side of the river) build their week end homes, and on Sat and Sundays turns into an overpopulated city. It is also a paradise to fish the "Dorado", a very prestigious species amongst fishing fans, and there is an anual fishing contest that drags them in the thousands from all over the world.

I mentioned before that the city is extremely conservative and Catholic. The culture is so religious that they even have an specific touristic circuit:

Prices are amazing and lower than in Buenos Aires. You can get the famous "bife de chorizo" in a restaurant for $300 (it is a huge steak). In the US a similar dish would be around 30 dollars.

But let's go to what you really are interested in, sex. Please consider that this is a first exploration of the local sex market, my previous experiences were before the Internet and not about professional providers. Everything I share here is just a first impression and nothing definite.

Tonight I am meeting the guy I shared a picture of in my previous post. He is 27, a member of the local state police, and married. Making an appointment with him (remember I got the contact from the local forum) has been a challenge. He has two jobs, is in the DL, and his marriage does not give him a lot of time. My communications with him paint a guy who is not a professional sex worker, but a very horny bisexual who needs extra money and charges to guys when he can. He is clearly not gay for pay, he loves dick. He will be picking me up and taking me to a "telo", which is the slang for "albergue transitorio", the local motels regulated to host for one or a few "turnos", each turno is about 1.5/2 hours depending on the "telo", and the price is between $AR 200 and 300 depending on the room. You will have a full report here and in my blog afterwards. It will be my first time renting a room in this kind of establishment, as I always was fortunate enough to have a place to fuck in the past.

Besides this contact I brought from before arriving here, I reinstalled Grindr in my phone, which I had deleted in the DC. I also tried Planet Romeo and Manhunt and I am getting some contacts in those, but most of the activity seems to be in Grindr. There is plenty of sex for free. If you like guys older than 35, it will be easy to hook up for you. I do not, I am looking for younger than 30, and I have to face two expected obstacles: most of them are not into guys my age, and almost none of them has a place. After filtering the first obstacle, I still have plenty of candidates. Corrientes and Resistencia are cities that host several colleges, including a prestigious public one, and young guys are in abundance.

Young guys into older guys are more common here than in my experience in the States. Yesterday I hooked up with a 22 yo boy who is in the School of Veterinary a few blocks away from my place. He does not have a place, and we ended hanging up in the Parque Mitre (I did not take pics because it was night and dark), a big park between my apartment and the waterfront. We made up and he sucked my dick. I only have pictures with his face, so I will not share them, but he is a very cute boy, slim and short (5'5). I love "petisos". He lives with his brother a few blocks away from me, and told me he will connect the next time he knows his room mate will be out for a while, so we can have a full fuck.

I rejected about 6 boys who were not my type (all of them between 18/25), but they all were very insistent. Guys here are very horny, and very afraid of going public. Discretion is the word of the trade. 

I am probably going to meet this boy:

25 y.o., acrobat, teaches in the local school of performing arts. Beautiful face and amazing vibe, and smokes pot. I have not smoked in about 10 days and I am missing it. I will also probably meet this guy this week end:

 

 

26 years old, works as a trainer in a gym in Resistencia, the city about 40' away on the other side of the Parana. You can see the bridge to cross in the above pictures. He does not have a place, so I have to fix that problem.

Those are all sex for free, and there is more, the field is really promising. I am considering to rent a room in a regular hotel. There is a 2 or 3 stars one in downtown called Hotel San Martin. A double room is about $AR 1,450. I think it would be a good investment to pay for 2 or 3 days to meet these guys and to have the photo sessions with the police agent and with a guy I am about to introduce to you. I have not made yet a decision, but it looks like the most convenient option.

So it seems that fucking for free is easier than finding a good professional. I am very hopeful though about this one:

I contacted him through Grindr. I asked him wether he was into daddies, he responded he was when $ was involved. We started a very friendly and promising conversation. He is also in Resistencia, and we are talking about meeting tomorrow. The fee is $AR 800. I actually offered him $1,000. I am also offering $2,000 for a second sex session that involves photos and filming for my blog. They feel like I am super generous.

I apologize I do not show more, but these are not guys who publish their services in an escorts website, and I have to respect their privacy.

Keep tuned!

Interesting report @Latbear4blk I'm intrigued that you've never used a telo before.

In Buenos Aires I used them several times; in Recoleta, near the Cemetery, there are several very nice telos. They were always very clean and had well-equipped bedrooms and bathrooms. Some rooms had several strategically placed mirrors. All rooms that I hired had a two-way cupboard: it was used when I ordered drinks etc on the phone, and they were delivered into the cupboard so no-one had to enter the room and disturb us. I found that the room-hiring system was very discreet; the receptionist was unfazed by my being with another man, and even when I entered with a younger man, I was not asked for any ID but only asked to confirm that the young man was 21.

I've not been to your city Corrientes so forgive me this gratuitous advice but it seems to me that you would be foolish to hire an ordinary hotel room. The hotel will usually want to check the ID of any visitor. If the city is as conservative/religious as you say and men are as nervous of being 'outed' as you suggest, a telo would be much more preferable.

I never used a telo before because during my sexually active years I was living in a 3 BR apartment in Recoleta (I lived there for 20 years, it belongs to my family, I will be staying there in July) by myself. I those walls spoke.... I even hosted amazing parties when I was in my late 20s.

I have researched the situation with prostitution in Corrientes. Remember, Catholics are conservative but not Puritans. All hotels have portfolios with female sex workers for you to choose. Besides, the particular hotel I mentioned is owned by one of my cousins' wife. I think I will not even have to pay for the room.

Thank you for the advice, though.

The police agent, just cancelled our appointment for tonight. I am tired of him, I will probably ignore him if he contacts me again. I do have one appointment confirmed for tomorrow and another one for Tuesday, speaking about professionals.

About sex for no fee. My vet student is busy today studying for two final tests tomorrow, but we will probably be celebrating on the week end (in my hotel room?). The acrobat is pending, he wants to see me Saturday, but it is a little bit complicated. At 1PM I have the ceremony when my Dad's ashes will be spread in some church land (my Mom's bull shit), and at 4PM is the local Gay Pride march. I used to visit always in July/Aug, after Pride, I am very curious about the event. I may see him afterwards (in my hotel room?). The telo is always an option. Honestly, everything is so cheap that I have plenty of options.

[Tartegogo]

They want ARS 800? Nice, 10 times cheaper than in DC!

Get as much as you can, at this price, think “I am actually saving money right now”!

Your only limit is your time.

You are wrong, my friend. The lack (so far) of professionalism has been a huge limit. I have been trying to meet with the law enforcement guy for four days now, we had to cancel three times. Next chance is tomorrow night, let's see.

Thank you for the good wishes!

With respect, this mirrors my experience with several Argentines on many visits. It was an attractive young Argentine who first observed to me that Argentines love to talk about it and discuss meeting up, but then don't turn up. He explained that this was why he liked Brazilians: you met them, they said I like you so let's have sex, and you went to bed together.

Are you talking about regular hook ups or sex workers?

DOLLAR RIGHT NOW: U$S = $AR 29.66

I had last night my first successful experience with a professional. I am exhausted the morning after. I am not anymore the marathon slut I used to be back in the 90s and would not be able to do what @Tartegogo did in his last trip to Brazil.

This boy is from Resistencia, the capital of the province (stat) of Chaco, on the other side of the Paraná. His fee was 800 pesos. He travelled by public transportation up to my hotel in Corrientes city downtown. 

The hotel is pretty crappy. The lobby good quite good, like a low 3 stars quality, the wifi there is OK. But the room is ugly and not very comfortable. The wifi there is inexistent, I have to be against the door to catch the signal. I cannot complain, considering the price: 3 nights for about 4,500. To make it even better, I am almost sure I will not have to pay the bill.

The boy's picture are the ones I shared above, the guy with the 3 pictures at 10:49 AM. He is a student of architecture in the local public university, 22 years old. His upper torso is nice and well shaped although not hard and sharp. He is a runner, his legs and butts are gorgeous. He has too much facial hair for my taste, but it was good grabbing him from his beard when we were fucking.

His performance was premium quality, he did not ask for the money in advance, and I paid him $1,000 instead of the 800 we had agreed. He felt I was very generous.

He arrived on time, even when he had a relatively long trip by bus from another city. I waited for him outside of the hotel and walked him in. Before getting into the room I showed him a nice balcony from where you can see the square in from of the hotel, and we started to make out right there. He is a passionate and engaged French kisser, looking for my dick from the very beginning. We quickly moved into my room.

We tried to talked while making out and it was funny, both of us were horny and the conversation was continuously interrupted. He has a natural sense of humor, and so do I. I like joking while fucking, we had a lot of fun. The whole experience did not feel transactional at all, for moments it felt like he was going to pay me.

His dick is not big, I would even say it is smaller than average, but it was rock solid most of the time. He likes playing hard, and we may try some leather toys the next time. What he loves he most is sucking dick. He was voracious and his erection was the hardest when he was giving me head. I usually get bored quickly when someone is sucking my dick, but not this time. He did ask me to put on a condom to do it.

He also enjoyed my eating his ass, and soon was ready for penetration. We id not need lube, just saliva was enough. The boy took it like a champ and seemed to be in paradise while getting pumped. I taught to smell something in some moments, but it must have been farting because after intensive digging the two condoms we used were clean. We tried several position and cummed in my favorite one: both of us laying on our left side.

I cannot share how to contact him because he has no ad, and is working in the area by oral recommendation. He is interested in upgrading his profile. After fucking I shared with him my blogging hobby, and he became very interested. We will have another session with pictures and video for my blog, and as soon as he puts up an ad a full review will be coming. He was very happy with my offer to pay 2,000 for a session of sex, pictures, and video.

Today is the local Gay Pride March (it is not a parade). Apparently it is the 7th one, I am extremely curious. Homosexual life in this city is ridiculously coveted. Lots of married man hooking up on line afraid of showing their faces. I wonder who will be the guys in attendance. The young boys I am contacting through hooking up apps seem not interested at all when I invite them to attend the march with me.

Love this travel log! The guy you fucked last night looks delicious. I hope the policeman comes through for you tomorrow! How do I find your blog?

Any idea how Argentina compares with México for quality (and price)? Younger juicy guys. I’m tall, 220,  decent shape, hairy, ddf, 45. I’ve never had to pay to play in México just Grindr but have twice paid about $40 US for decent massages that always turned full sex.

Im in Miami and plan to go to Argentina very soon

The blog is https://ilikepinga.com

I have blocked the policeman. I am sick of his unreliability, he is treating me as a hook up and not as a client. I lost my interest and he would not accept a "no" as an answer. I moved on. 

I cannot compare to Mexico, I have never been there. I can tell you you would have lots of free sex using Grindr. I am still to go to the local disco, but it does not start until 2 AM. I am physically and emotionally exhausted today (we had Dad's ashes ceremony this noon) and I am not going. Perhaps next week end.

Please be aware that what I am sharing so far is from Corrientes, an inside the country provincial capital pretty much out of the international trendy circuits. Situation in Buenos Aires is pretty different and I will report on that by the second week of July.

And now I have to leave you because my veterinary student passed both of his finals and he is coming to celebrate. I am tired but still horny.

Thank you for enjoying!

Regular dates/hook-ups in Buenos Aires with middle-class Argentine men, 21-30. Tho my experience of guys seeking paid encounters was similar; they seemed to have the Argentine affliction of flakiness about showing up as arranged and chronic lateness if they did turn up.

I live in DC, do not notice the difference.

[Latbear4blk]

I just lost everything I wrote because apparently my post was too heavy on pictures, so I am going to try again. If you are looking for sex info, you can skip this post. The report on that topic is coming next, in another post.

I have been almost murdered a couple of times. No, it was not bad hombres, or MS-13, or Muslims terrorists, or the narco traffickers, or the mainstream media. It was crazy drivers. Of you come to Argentina, please, please, be careful before crossing a street. It does not matter whether or not you are in the pedestrian strip, or of the light is green for you. Do not cross is any vehicle is coming, do not try to dare them, because they will not stop. I had forgotten about it after living so many years in DC.

DOLLAR TIGHT NOW: U$S1 = $AR 29.08

Last Saturday noon we had the ceremony where Dad's ashes were dropped (yeah, they were not spread) in a fancy sacred stupid tank in Catholic sacred land. The ritual took place in land belonging to the Iglesia de la Cruz de los Milagros, a historic temple that houses the miraculous cross. According to the legend, when the Spaniard conquerors first founded the city of Corrientes back in the 16th century, the native Indians attacked them. The invaders took refuge behind the fortified settlement and left defenseless a tall wooden cross. The natives attacked the symbol of their enemies' God and tried to burn it down, but it did not matter how much fire they lighted, the cross reminded unburned. You can see the image of this cross in all the symbols representing the city and the Province of Corrientes.

I had not stepped into a Catholic Church in about a decade. The first thing that stoke me was the smell. It does not matter where the church is located, I feel they all smell the same, a mix of wood and incense I do like. Fortunately the whole ritual was brief (my brother was the priest celebrating it, he is a cool and progressive Jesuit) and soon we all were out of there.

We went to have lunch in a restaurant. You know, besides sex, eating is what I like the most when I am traveling. My other brother and his wife recommended a nearby restaurant, a little better than average, and we all headed over there. Please, remember we are not in Buenos Aires, the prices I am about to show you are not typical of the national capital:

Notice, for instance, the price of "bife de chorizo". In Buenos Aires it is $100 higher. "Bife de chorizo" is my favorite Argentine steak, despite its name it has nothing to do with sausages. It is a huge prime quality steak with a delicious strip of fat in one of its sides. Delicious is actually an understatement. A steak of lower quality in the USA would cost about 30 bucks.

We were seven people. We ordered two sides of "rabas" (calamari) as appetizers, which unexpectedly came served with hard eggs and green olives. We drank one beer and sodas or water, no wine, and we did not eat any dessert because we could badly finish the huge portions. You can see the entrees we ordered here:

For all that food, prepared with fresh organic ingredients, the total amount was:

I too the picture or you would not believe me.

After eating we went for a ride around the Avenida Costanera. I already shared a clip, but here you have a different area:

 

Then I left my family and went to my hotel. The local gay pride parade was taking place at 4PM, coming to a close with an act and a party just half block from the hotel. I am writing a full report that I will post in my blog, once published I will share the link. As a sample, I will share here a few pictures:

 

From the street party I went back to my hotel, but the story goes on in my next post.

[Latbear4blk]

I actually left the street party before it ended because mosquitos were eating me. They continued the celebration until 10PM. They were unbelievably loud and kinky in the middle of a residential neighborhood full of breeders walking around with babies in strolls and groups of children. However I did not hear any complaining, beyond a few homophobic remarks in the hotel lobby, mostly inspired by curiosity rather than by hate.

I listened to the party still going on while waiting for my Veterinarian student, the boy that had given me head a few days ago in the Parque Mitre. He passed his two finals yesterday and we were about to celebrate. He arrived and we have great sex, but he left upset and I do not think I will see him again. He would not accept that I wanted to hook up with other guys during my visit. He was not the only one looking for a sentimental relationship.

I will insist on a previous disclaimer. Please, do not take any of my opinions and/or assessments about the local gay culture as definitive. I am a visitor, I have not had contact in about 20 years with the local gay market, and what I am experiencing during this trip may not be representative at all of what someone else's experience could be.

There is a constant, though, from my previous years living here to nowadays. Compared to the USA and to Buenos Aires, the population of younger guys into older gentlemen is vastly over represented. The fact that I am a novelty may explain the overwhelming number of hits I am getting from guys between 18 and 25 years old, even until 35 (I set my filters to block guys older than 35). After two weeks here, I noice a reduction on that number. However, I do think that in this region the daddy/baby model is more mainstream than in other places I have visited.

There is a huge population of youngsters because Corrientes and the nearby city of Resistencia, capital of the Province of Chaco, are home for one of the biggest public universities, the Universidad Nacional del Nordeste. Public colleges in Argentina are for free and their enrollment is massive. To make it better, it is where the best brains are. Public colleges in Argentina are mostly diplomas factories for those who cannot succeed in the public institutions more academically demanding. A few private schools fill a hole left unattended in some fields by the public ones, but these ones are a minority.

As a picturesque note, one of the local costumes is very noisy groups of cars celebrating someone's graduation. 

Besides younger guys hunting for daddies, the other over represented group are married to women men. It seems this still is a very closeted culture. Before I set my filters to block guys older than 35, I was getting countless offers from married men.

My Veterinarian student left upset on Saturday night and, although we did have good sex, I was still horny and wanted to take advantage of the hotel room I was leaving on Monday. I tried to reach out to the guys I mentioned before, and they all had excuses, so I went to sleep by myself, feeling slightly guilty about the Veterinarian student. I do not want to hurt anyone, but I do not think my conscience was clean about manipulating him to get him to my bed.

The next day, Sunday, we had our family lunch (last Sunday was an asado, yesterday was home made pasta) and then I met Pablo, the taxi boy (local slang for escort) I hired last Friday. We spent three hot fun hours together ($ 2,000) having sex and taking pictures and a couple of videos for my blog. I am working in a full review, once it is published I will share the link. Right now I can share the link to the ad he published following my advise, and a few pictures:

He left me, again, exhausted, so I was not able to make further advantage from my hotel room.

I decided to cancel an appointment I had with another taxi boy from Resistencia, Muni ($ 800). These are his pics I can share:

I do not think the local pros physical appearance meet my standards for paid sex. I prefer to save my dollars for Buenos Aires, where the boys look sharp and at premium standards. I do plan to meet some of the not for a fee guys I am contacting through Grindr. I have one that has me specially interested:

You noticed, right? The not for a fee guys seem hotter than the professionals. I did have a few chats with very hot guys who asked me for money, but they all were tops.

Let me close with a few informative bulleted points.

• I thought the word "discreto" meant, like in standard Spanish, someone who will not violate your privacy. However, I was schooled that in the ;local slang it actually means straight acting, masculine, the opposite of effeminate. In this closeted culture, one of the most common questions used to start a conversation online is "Sos discreto?"
• Besides all the resources to hook up that I shared somewhere else and will once again report in a future post summarizing my whole experience in Corrientes, I was introduced to a new one: https://www.contactossex.com. It is pretty popular amongst the married and closeted men, but I do not like it. I find it not better than the graffitis in the public restrooms. If it happens to be your thing, stay in the free version. I thought about paying the premium membership ($200) for one month, but when I was submitting my CC information my computer warned me it was an unsecured form. Play with it if you like it, but keep your CC info away from it.
• I do not remember who, bur someone advised to install WhatsApp in your phone. If you travel South of the rio Grande it is indeed sound advice. Everyone uses it and it is, in fact a great app I have loved for several years now. It allows you to text, send files, and make calls and videoconferences. However, there is a caveat when traveling to Argentina. The taxi boys here have a double pricing policy, one for the locals and one for the foreigners. If your Spanish is good enough to pass as a local, you should avoid making your first contact through WhatsApp. Instead, I suggest you to wait until you are in Argentina and, from a local IP, get a new gmail with a Spanish name. Once you have your new gmail from an Argentine IP, get also a new Google number. Use that number to make your initial contact and you may get better prices. If your Spanish is not good or if it is non existent, disregard this advice and just go for WhatsApp.
• About money. The economic situation is unstable and the dollar value extremely fluctuating. I brought U$S 600 dollars in cash and plan on selling 100 each time for the few expenses that need cash (like boys). Do not change all your cash when you arrive, your dollars will probably worth more in a few days. I am using my credit card every time I can, and once I run out of cash I will get money from an ATM, but the fee is about 10 dollars each time you withdraw. 
• Right now I would avoid taking Uber. The taxi cab drivers have a powerful union and they are in a violent campaign against Uber. They are attacking violently Uber drivers, and sometimes even hurting their passengers. 

That's all for now.

Looking forward to the next installment! I’m ready to try Argentina and some Argentina ass. I like what you said about the young gay Corrientes guys enjoying older guys. I’m decent shape, tall, hairy, German looking, approaching 50. Probably going to go to a major destination since I can only get away fro three or four days. Direct flights to and from Miami.

Latbear, this fellow in your Mintboys article is just a random gif, correct? Aieeee! Have seen a lot of him on Tumblr, etc. My screenshot not the most flattering for his face. Could not help but notice him linking to the Corrientes post ... not trying to split. 

Also, for some readon, my photo attachments are showing much larger on BT now ... they used to automatically fit neatly

You will probably stay in Buenos Aires, where the gay market is pretty much similar to any big American city. You may enjoy something similar to Corrientes' culture if you include Iguazú falls in your trip. Plus, you will have there beautiful Brazilian guys. Brazil is much better than Argentina for sex.

Yeah, unfortunately I have never met that beauty. I must have picked a random gif file to decorate my blog. Sorry to disappoint you.

Oh well ... you compensate with interesting reports.
