Essaouira Morocco

[Gaz69]

Hi guys, have been using this site for a while as non member and had some great tip/advice about travelling in Egypt and Marrakesh. I am going to Essaouira Morocco soon and wondered if anyone has any experience there ti share. Was unable to find anything for this area on the site. Thanks for all the previous posts and input you have all shared.

I have not been Gaz69 but a little searching has me intrigued...I'll be following this thread and hope to learn a lot.

From Afar magazine:

Homosexuality is illegal in Morocco, but some areas are more laissez-faire than others. Essaouira has emerged as Morocco’s unofficial gay capital, with more openly gay Moroccans and expats than anywhere else in the kingdom. The region’s Chleuh Berber tribe is particularly tolerant.

Plus, in contrast to other parts of the country, you can bust out the beachwear—bikinis and short shorts are part of the landscape.

Hi Lonnie thanks for your input, I had read that online before I posted here but was hoping to find other guys personal experiences of the place.  I probably should have just stuck to Marrakesh I think.

Don't give up so fast Gaz69...the site is not very active now. If we are lucky our own north African expert Santiagodc might gives us the scoop. He hasn't posted recently...must be off on a sexy adventure.

Yes, if anyone has the lowdown, it would be Santiagodc!  I have visited Essouiria as a day trip from Marrakech.  It was an easy bus ride & I really liked the place so I'd say it's definitely worth a visit.  If you wanted a more laid-back, relaxed place than Marrakech, it might be worth staying for a while.

It was a LONG time ago I went....went to a hammam and 2 young guy friends (bf?) were bathing each other, in shorts. Kind of hot watching and they were watching me. I acted like I couldn't wash my back and they offered to help. No one else paid attention, like it was normal. Then they helped bathe me all over with their hands and a sponge, going inside my shorts in front and back caressing my everything, I think 1 of the guys came just from doing that because he shortly got up and went to the bathroom. The other one got his face close to mine and reminded me of Thai's how they like to sniff and smell as a form of kissing. I got up and went to the bathroom and the other one was cleaning his dick in the sink.

No penetration or sucking happened, but it was something I won't forget....there wasn't a big age difference between us, not sure if it would happen today that I am older

However, they are hot guys and the most non-Muslim, Muslim's there are. I went another time during Ramadan, that's when most try to be Muslim and I wouldn't even think about going during Ramadan again.

Thanks for that. I’m actually in Tunisia next month during Ramadan, big mistake I think. Hadn’t realised it was holy month when I booked it last year. Almost cancelled last week but would lose almost everything. So off I go.

Just enjoy the hospitality of the locals during ramadhan. Free food during iftar (breaking the fast) is common. There is no religious restriction on sex during the night though. Of course, gay sex is illegal all year round anyway hehe.
