One Week in Gay Taiwan

[TotallyOz]

Well, I was able to spend one week in gay Taipei and had a blast. This site helped me prepare for the itinerary. I had the week all mapped out and ready to go and see the saunas and massage places and I had 3 dates pre arranged from the apps. I worked hard to prepare. Like all things in life, things did not go as planned. I visited nothing I had planned.

I took a taxi from the airport to my hotel. The driver was very talkative and I was too. I told him I was there to see the gay scene and he said his son was gay and just finished Freshman year in University. He said his English was not as good as his but he could give me a tour. I thought this was a bit odd, but I'm an odd man so I agreed. That night the son appeared to take me out to dinner but instead was very sexy and we ended up in bed and ordering room service. He was not a money boy, he was just into foreigners (his dad did not know). Anyway, we spent the entire week together and I got to know very little of what I wanted to see and a lot about my new friend, his family, the island, the touristy non-tourist locations and tons of food with his friends. They accepted me wholeheartedly and was happy he found a guy nice to him. He was a bit nerdy but so am I. He did not leave my side for 7 days and the sex was amazing. He will travel to Thailand this summer for a week or two but he is not looking for a forever love. He is young and I don't expect anything other than fun and a good friendship. I have to say, it was most definitely the best week I have had in years.

As he came to the hotel to see me away, I gave him a gift to say thank you for his touring. (he never asked for money or for me to buy him anything). He was in tears when I gave him a new computer for his studies. I told him I was being selfish as I wanted him to use Facetime to talk to me and he can't do that on his windows.  

I'll plan another trip to the Island in the future. But, this trip was amazing. I do appreciate all the detailed information in this forum as it helped me plan. But, best laid plans are often laid to rest for another day.

Taipei is great city and people are so friendly.  I visited some years ago, but I did not have special contacts, perhaps I'm a bit too shy to make contact.

Still the most amazing sauna that I visited was soi13 in Taipei.  I guess there were more than 100 completely naked asian young guys in the sauna.

I remember also the darkest and bigggest darkroom: filled with naked bodies with hard cocks, guys cumming and moaning.  I was like a kid in a candy shop!

Unforgettable.

You need to get out more often, leave your routine in BKK, when was your last time to Brasil, Colombia even Panama, you'll turn into one of those old guys sitting at Jomtien beach that look like they died and no one told them 😉

The cab driver was pimping his son? Wow.

Pimping: the action or practice of controlling prostitutes and arranging clients for them, taking part of their earnings in return.

The lad was not a prostitute. Not sure what part of the post you missed. Perhaps I should not have said I gave him a gift at the end. But, he is in one of the toughest programs for semi-conductors and he needed a good computer. The father had no idea we were sleeping together. He just knew that we became friends. Just like I became friends with the father.

You are right. I had a trip planned to Brazil pre-covid and I want to get back there again. No interest in Panama again. I have not been to Jomtien in ages but I may look like one of those old men sitting in a bar so long that people think I died and became a statue.

Thanks for making that point. Whenever I mention that there are young guys I meet on my many regular trips to Taipei who only want to meet foreigners (mostly older foreigners) and that money plays no part in the transaction - apart perhaps from paying for a meal - I seem to get several posters questioning this. I'll just repeat what i wrote in a post about my last trip at the end of May. Visiting the 'new' location of Hans Mens Sauna, a young guy came up to me and said "You don't remember me!" He told me we had met 4 years earlier at the gayish hot spring when he was with his then boyfriend. He'd then been 18. Now at 22 and single again, we ended up in one of the rooms for great sex. Like @TotallyOz's new friend, we have kept in touch and will meet again quite soon.

Thanks for the correcttve. I withdraw the remark.

Even if he was pimping for his son, I think it’s admirable that his dad was taking an interest in his kid’s career.

Oz, please note that I said “even if he was…”

I did not infer that he did.

Reader, I'm a pretty good reader myself. I just disagree with the statement.

[PeterRS]

I have never even heard of pimping for gay young men in Taiwan. Perhaps it happens for young ladies. But even my Taiwan gay friends have never once heard of it.

I am surprised that @reader would quote my comment an hour after I withdrew it. It was my intention that it be ignored since I cannot delete it.

Glad to see @TotallyOz joining the club of people having a great time in Taiwan and considering it one of the best, if not the best destination in Asia. Both my Western and Asian friends, including Taiwanese themselves, gets always so surprised when I mention how often I visit Taiwan. My short answer has always been: it's the people.

Kinda had a similar experience on my last visit to the Beautiful Island. After spending a week in southern Taiwan, I had planned to spend Saturday and Sunday in Taipei. Mostly going to Soi13 and hanging out with some of my friends in there. However, this cute student I first met at the Hi-Men sauna in Kaohsiung and then hanged out twice more during my time in there texted me and said that he missed me and wanted to see me again before I leave. I agreed and offered to pay for his HSR but he said that wasn't necessary.

We spent two great days and he even came with me all the way to the airport and said goodbye at the airport security check. Yes, probably would have had more guys and sex if I had spent that weekend by myself, even though he was 100% my type. However, these type of encounters though are much more valuable and memorable than even good sex.

You have known me longer and knew this was a sensitive subject for me. I think Reader realized it was sensitive when I hit the down-vote (I rarely do that). But, I guess we all have our days and nights. Lessons: 1. Oz is sensitive about this boy (not sure why) 2. Oz is sensitive about the fabulous color of his nails this week.

Tbh, I would have reacted same way if someone had passed same comment about my LT guy.

What about beaches in Taiwan? Its an island but somehow the itineraries seems to ignore them…

Taiwan has lots of beaches. I guess those of us who visit regularly have less interest in them. I can say that the water off the south coast is crystal clear - far more so than almost anywhere I have visited off Thailand. For those interested there is a gay beach not far from Tamshui station, the west end of the red subway line in Taipei. It's not so easy to find, but I am told there is sometimes activity in the bushes behind the beach. I have also read that there is a nude section but know no-one who has been there.

[Lucky]

Well, once again I say that I regret the remark It was not good thinking on my part. I apologize.

The Penghu islands, which are a groups islands around 50 kms from the main islands, have beautiful beaches and according to my Taiwanese friends became the main beach destinations when borders closed during Covid.
