Medellin Gave Me My Grove Back

[Guest]

Hi guys,

I'm so happy I found this forum. I found a lot of useful information here and want to share my experience in Medellin so far.

First off, I never thought I'd come to Colombia, even though it was always there as a place I thought I'd want to visit because, well...Colombian men are HOT!

Fate brought me here for 7 weeks (I'll spare the details).

One of the first things I did when I checked in was connect to Grindr, and immediately, my phone blew up!

I'm not exaggerating when I say I was getting hundreds of contacts per week. After work seemed to be a particularly horny time of day. Between the taps and the messages with no photo and simply a "hola", a lot of them were duds, but so many were really hot guys, often looking for older men. Some were clear that they wanted money, and I was willing to pay.

The issue I had was that I'm staying in an apartment with a guard. My check-in rules say "no sex tourism" so I wasn't sure I could bring people up to my room. I also wasn't sure I wanted to, because you know, Grindr, and there are these mysterious unsolved murders of gay men.

My plan was to find one guy who was willing to have sex for money and make him my regular. The one I chose turned out to be a bit of a flake, so I moved on. Another one I tried was not as hot as he looked in his photos (I think he somehow enhanced the size of his dick in his photos). I ended up changing my profile and decided I really didn't need to find anyone because it was proving to be too difficult and instead advertised for a language exchange stating that we'd meet in a cafe. I thought at least I'd get to meet people and practice Spanish and maybe develop some friendships.

The first guy I met didn't speak any English, so we mostly spoke Spanish, which was fine with me. He was also an Uber driver, and I paid him to take me to Santa Fe mall to helpl me set up my phone with a new SIM card. He's very nice, but there is no sexual attraction between us. He's also very busy, so the exchange isn't wokring out.

The second one sent me dick pics. Wait. Are we talking about a language exchange? I arranged to meet him and then he flaked out. I was still trying to connect with the first guy I had decided on, but he was playing games, so in frustration with my potential language exchange partner with the big dick, I just said, just come here and I'll suck your dick. How much do you want?

Sorry, I can be blunt when I'm frustrated, but it worked.

He said he would come but just needed money "for the Uber". I asked how much and he said 70,000 pesos.

He turned out to be a very nice guy. We had great sex. He was very passionate and liked kissing (so did the other guy I tried). I gave him 100,000 pesos and then we went out for coffee and talked. He came back a second time and we repeated the same thing - sex, 100,000 pesos, and then we had lunch.

I kind of got the feeling that he was doing this with other guys, which is ok, he's making money to go to Miami, but it didn't feel as hot the second time.

I still had my ad on Grindr for language exchange and continued getting the whole gamut of responses - some who spoke no English and were looking for a teacher, some from other parts of Colombia, escorts, lots of dick pics, some who expected me to devote myself to them even though we'd never met (good thing Grindr has the "block" feature) and then this guy sent me a photo of himself clothed, and another of a close up of his crotch with a huge hard-on. It was so hot! He was slightly older than the average, which I liked, and he looked respectable in his photo.

We chatted a bit and then he sent me a dick pick with a nice, big fat Colombian hard-on standing straight out.

We made arrangements to meet at 6 or 7. Then that got pushed back to 8. Then 9. I thought he was playing games, but he kept insisting he was coming, but had to work late because of the rain. I still didn't believe he was coming. He said he was on his way. It was now past 10. And to my surprise, finally, he arrived.

He looked different from his photo because he was slightly older and his hair was longer, which I found even more attractive. He looked so hot on his motorcycle.

We came up to my place and sat and talked, and then he leaned over and kissed me. His lips were so full and soft. I was melting.

I started undressing him and sucked his huge cock (what I could take) and then we went to the bedroom and he fucked me.

We stayed up way past midnight until he finally left.

The next day he sent me a message and today we checked in. I'm pretty sure we'll see each other again.

It feels weird having sex with this hot guy and not having to pay. I'm 62 years old and my face and body have seen better days. I live in the SF Bay Area, where I'm basically considered well past my expiration date. I never thought I'd have so many men telling me I'm attractive. Do some of them have ulterior motives? Sure. But I feel that many of them sincerely mean it.

I am so pleasantly surprised that Colombian men seem to be open to considering relationships with older men. I am hoping to develop a friendship with this guy I met, and maybe meet a few more friends through my conversation exchange. And I will be back to Medellin.

If you do come to visit, I think it helps if you can speak Spanish. I'm finding very few people speak English.

The only thing I'd say is be careful and act respectfully. Colombia has replaced Thailand for me as my go-to place when I need to get laid, or find a vacation romance, or both.

It’s not just a Colombian phenomenon @richard265 I found the same to be true in Argentina. After my first trip, when I dressed casually, I always dressed formally in Buenos Aires and I attracted a lot of guys. 
 

And, of course, having a big thick wallet doesn’t hurt 😊

Thank you for the report.  So .. that I understand the apartment rules issue:  your guests encountered no difficulty entering and going to your apartment?

[babybear2]

I have the same question, if apartment is not a good place to meet, where did you guys go in the end? 

[Guest]

I have been bringing guys to my apartment, but I am being very selective. Before I met this last guy, who seems to be interested in me not for money, I did try a few options.

One guy I met I went to him. He said he had a room. I'm not sure how to describe it, but obviously the places there were meant for sex. Maybe that's where a lot of the cam boys work from. It was in Laureles and I had a hard time with the guy at the front desk. I didn't really understand what he wanted me to do. Finally, the guy I was meeting, who was an escort, must have called down and they let me in. The escort was a disappointment. Another time I tried to meet someone at a love motel. I found out about an app on this site called Motel Now. Fortunately, you don't pay in advance with the app, you just make the reservation, and can cancel. The guy said he'd be there in 30 minutes and after an hour told me he still hadn't left home. But that is an option. You get a room for 90 minutes and don't risk bringing anyone back to your place where you might be robbed.

I have no idea if all of these guys messaging me on Grindr are legit, but I've had more men contact me here than I probably have in all the time I've been on Grindr combined. It's crazy.

 Richard, I too thank u for ur report.

Actually, a couple of days ago I opened a thread, asking for places that allow visitors after checking cedula.

Now it turns out that u r staying at a place which apparently doesnt enforce their no-visitor policy.

How does that work?

Not even a big thick wallet here, since my guys are only asking 100,000 pesos (around $25). But the last guy I met didn't ask for any money, and he's really hot. Actually more my type than the ones looking for cash.

No, but I am being selective and discreet. I'm also trying to avoid late-night encounters, since I think they raise more suspicion. One guy comes early, and then we go out to lunch afterwards. It may also help that my sister, nephew and his husband are staying nearby, and they visit often. So the guard sees that I have several visitors and not just an assortment of men (so far there have been 4 men, one has been here twice, and there are different guards throughout the day). I think the key is discretion.

I'm not sure what kind of places are available that don't have a doorman or a guard, and also, I'm not sure I would want to stay in a place without security. I've been hearing horror stories of people being drugged and robbed, and of course, there are the unsolved murders of gay men that apparently were with contacts from Grindr.

The temptation here is real, but I'd say be cautious and very selective. The nice thing is that for someone my age, I can actually be selective.

Richard, please share the name of the place and how to rent there.

Considering the recent discussion(s) elsewhere on these forums ... sharing such information in a private message (if the individual is willing to do so) might better than posting in the open.  😀

There is an app called MotelNow. I found out about it in this forum. It will show you the love motels that are nearby. You can book a room for 90 minutes. The one near me is Parque Lleras or something like that. It was 49,000 pesos. It didn't charge my credit card (I didn't enter any credit card info) and when the guy ended up being a flake, I canceled with no penalty. My suggestion is to check to make sure rooms are available, make your arrangements with the guy you want to meet, and then when he shows up, make your reservation and go there. From what I was reading, Love Motels are quite common in Colombia (and in much of Latin America). Hope this helps. Maybe someone should start a new thread to just talk about how these work.

I’ve certainly used them in Buenos Aires, where hotels that rent by the hour are referred to as “telos”. And I know they exist in other cities.
 

They are popular with heterosexual and homosexual couples. Conveniently located and clean, they offer a range of facilities but usually include a double bed, showers, towels, toothbrush & paste etc. I always just turned up with my guy and paid cash (as I’m wary of potential credit card fraud).

Don’t abandon common sense, however, if you’re going with a stranger. Take minimal cash, leave valuables in your hotel room safe etc - I’ve heard 2x of guys getting robbed at knifepoint once in the room.
