Popular Post jeremy Posted June 5 Popular Post Posted June 5 I (51yo Australian) have been in Manila since Friday night and once again I have found that all my hook-up research and planning before arriving was just not necessary. I looked up massage spas like Greenappleboys and Redappleboys and booked two of the Redappleboys (Karl and Miko) before I arrived. They were beautiful but too young (both 21yo) and unexperienced for this bottom and so in the end that was probably 7000 pesos (3500 each) unnecessarily spent. They both did have beautiful bodies and big hard cocks though that were a delight to suck on... When I opened my Grindr looking for tops I was flooded with messages and any top guys I messaged returned pretty nearly a 100% success rate, even meeting two guys in the same hotel. Only two other guys involved money. A 28yo guy across the street messaged me late one night asking if I wanted a massage and suck him for 2000 pesos so I said yes and then the next night he came back with his cute as a button 23yo friend who he fucked while I watched and sucked off as he rode the older guy... I gave them a nice tip. All other guys were free sex from Grindr and Scruff. Grindr is as buggy as hell at the moment so some have also connected with me through Telegram. I have had 17 sessions of sucking and sucking and getting fucked so far, 4 paid and the rest free. And i think the rest of the week I am here will be repeats because I've met some really beautiful guys that I want to see again. Only one guy was uncut and the rest cut. The uncut guy is one of the most beautiful guys - a 32yo guy from Cavite. Other than the two 21yos from Redappleboys, all the others have been 25-40. The after sex laying, touching and chatting is far more common and far longer than anything I had in Bangkok last year. As strange as it may seem, i don't think I could have learned so much about Filipino people and culture if I was just doing the tourist thing. The fact that so many Filipinos speak really good English helps too. I am staying in the Holiday Inn and Suites at Makati which is nice but the it is both a blessing and a pain to have security at the entrance checking everyone entering and leaving and I get awkward smiles from the guards already because of seeing me bring different guys in with me. I usually meet guys somewhere outside the building or in Glorietta Mall and then walk in with them and then the security doesn't ask them for ID. I have to escort them out through the door again after we finish our fun following their detaining of one guy I met because he couldn't tell them my fullname and room number and the poor guy couldn't get through to me for 10 minutes or so during one of Grindr's bug attacks... The security are very proactive. So my advice for any hotel guests doing what I've been doing... Bring your hookup in with you and then take them back out again! I was also interested in the cruising culture in Manila and research a lot of cruising areas, but the ones I have found so far have too many people around, there are cleaners practically living in all of the toilets around Makati which makes hooking up impossible and I've been too busy to look further afield at the cruisy parks and cinemas that are supposedly here. I have been told the Isetan Cinema at Recto is very cruisy, practically a sex on premises place, and I am hoping to check it out before I leave. I am super impressed with Manila so far and though I had planned to return to Bangkok for my next escape in December, I am thinking of coming back here again. I have managed to see the sites around Manila and I'm going to Tagaytay tomorrow so I'm not spending every hour on my knees or all fours! But when I am on my knees or all fours, this place is giving me some of the hottest experiences of my life... I hope this post helps others... I definitely recommend the Philippines!

12is12 Posted June 5 Posted June 5 WOW Jeremy! Thank u sooo much for this report! Since I'm planning my first visit there, pls excuse my (too?) many questions. 1) the green/red boys r only out service, or also in-house at some location? 2) what did u mean by "even meeting two guys at the same hotel"? Wasn't that ur hotel... ? 3) M unfamiliar with the phrase "grindr is as buggy as hell". Guess it means prblmtc. Since I dont have tlgrm/X, would that b a prblm? 4) do u think most tops would b content with just being sucked? M in a non-anal period... 5) since "awkward smiles" by security isnt a prblm for me, I might stay at the same hotel. Instead of seeing them out, isnt it possible to ring down? Ur enthusiasm is catchy. Sounds like manila is better than thailand - free sex, english speaking, big dicks!!! Thanks again, Jeremy. (-: Quote
jeremy Posted June 5 Author Posted June 5 @12is12... 1) the green/red boys r only out service, or also in-house at some location? As far as I know they are only an out service to house or hotel. I connected with Redappleboys and booked the two guys I met through Telegram, and paid a deposit of 500 pesos using an app called REMITLY for AUD to PHP - all you need is the recipient's name and number to send from REMITLY via GCASH. I connected with Greenappleboys initially through Twitter / X messaging and then via mobile SMS, but i didn't end up booking any guys. 2) what did u mean by "even meeting two guys at the same hotel"? Wasn't that ur hotel... ? Yes, I just meant they were staying in the same hotel as me (Holiday Inn.) Guests can only access the floor on which they are staying, but all guests can access the Roof Deck (RD) from two of the elevators and so I just arranged to meet them on the roof deck and then take them back to my room. 3) M unfamiliar with the phrase "grindr is as buggy as hell". Guess it means prblmtc. Since I dont have tlgrm/X, would that b a prblm? Sorry, that's just my terminology... I have sent messages and received a lot of replies but some hours or even a day later and sometimes piled up messages that seem to come through all at once. I haven't used X to hookup with anyone, although I could have because there are many "masahe", "MT" or "massage therapists" on X displaying their services and you can contact them through X messaging. On Grindr you will also find guys using those same terms and also "not for free" or "not for everyone" or "for hire" or "4hire" or something similar which generally means you pay. I have been quoted anything from 800 to 5000 pesos for sex with such guys all of which include full sex if desired. 4) do u think most tops would b content with just being sucked? M in a non-anal period... Most of the guys I have met have been suck only, so i would say yes. I read not long ago somewhere that getting sucked off almost seems like a fetish among Filo guys and I thought when I read it that it was a curious comment - after all don't most guys like getting sucked (I don't generally)? But being here I can see what they meant by it but I find it difficult to further explain. Some guys really do want to fuck but just make it clear up front that it's suck only. If they want more they will move on to the next guy I guess. 5) since "awkward smiles" by security isnt a prblm for me, I might stay at the same hotel. Instead of seeing them out, isnt it possible to ring down? I don't know about ringing down... I suppose you could if you give your "visitor" your name and room number and they might ring you to make sure they can allow them up to your room. I initially met guys at the elevators on the ground level street entry after they already came through security. They would have to leave their ID with security if they came into the hotel alone... So I later found it easier to meet them in the entrance to Glorietta Mall which is right next door and then walk with them security as though they were an old friend. I just happen to have a few old friends in Manila... As for leaving, I was initially saying farewell at my hotel room door and letting them exit alone, but if they didn't have my full name and room number they were detained by security until they could reach me through Grindr (or whatever app) to get my name and room number. Security would then call me and make sure I was OK before letting them go. One guy I met complained that they made him feel like a terrorist, so after that I started exiting with them and security wouldn't do anything other than give an awkward smile. This hotel has two entrances. There is one at street level and the other from the third (or fourth I am not sure) of Glorietta Mall to the hotel lobby floor. All visitors to the hotel alone must go through the ground floor exit but I used both entrances alternately to bring guys back to limit the awkward smiles somewhat. There are also a lot of hotel porters milling about on the ground floor at the street level. I hope that helps! I have enjoyed my stay in Manila. I went out to dinner with one of my hookups last night, a very cute and well hung and very interesting 32yo mixed Filo-Spanish-Chinese guy, so making a social thing out of it is very possible if that's what you want. I am not into any kind of relationship other than hookup, fuckbuddy and friend and i make that clear if a guy seems to be fishing for a relationship. I paid for the dinner at a really nice restaurant in Glorietta Mall called Bacolod Chicken Inasal and it was only 2000 pesos for the both of us including drinks and dessert (AUD$50) which is very reasonable. I do really like Bangkok, but as other members have commented in other posts, the constant expectation of money in Bangkok does make Manila a refreshing change! floridarob, groenthusiast, reader and 1 other 4 Quote

macaroni21 Posted June 6 Posted June 6 @jeremy What time of day were your hookups? I ask because several years ago I was in a hotel (can't remember the name now) where the first two times I brought a boy back (late afternoon, early evening) they weren't a problem, but the 3rd guy whom I tried to bring in close to midnight, they wouldn't let him in. I had a bit of an argument with the security in which they said something about daytime OK, night not OK. I am just wondering whether I was just unlucky in my choice of hotel or it might be a more general policy among Manila hotels. floridarob 1 Quote
hojacat Posted June 6 Posted June 6 When in Manila two years ago I stayed at this boutique hotel right across Glorietta mall. Their guest check-in policy was a bit inconsistent. Some of the guys didn't have to check at the front desk at all, some had to leave their ID and a few times I even got a call from the reception to ask if everything was fine once the guy left. I guess it depended on the time of the day and how busy front desk was. Didn't have to check-in any of the guys I had at this big hotel in Puerto Princessa, though the the place I stayed in El Nido had a no-guests policy. Luckily I was there only two days and kinda needed a pause after all that high-intensity activity in Manila. Overall, I would say an Airbnb is the best option in Manila, but even in those some receptions might be stricter than others. I would choose a condo with many listings on the site, instead of just one or two, as the reception would assume everyone visiting is an Airbnb guest so won't ask for documentation. 6 hours ago, jeremy said: 3) M unfamiliar with the phrase "grindr is as buggy as hell".

With the last update my private albums disappeared and some profiles take a long time to load. Haven't had any issues with alerts or notifications though. Quote

I am just wondering whether I was just unlucky in my choice of hotel or it might be a more general policy among Manila hotels. All through the day and as late as 1am on one night. The rules have been rather inconsistent as I have at time seen people open their bags for security to search and then go straight through but then others are questioned. I'm not sure what there policy is and where they target particular appearances or ages of what... from what I have seen of the major hotels in Makati and Pasay that I have driven or walked by, its the same.

About half the guys I have met have tried to reciprocate despite me making it quite clear I'm a bottom and don't really respond to being sucked. I think they assume that because I am masculine and not fem in anyway that I am going to have a raging hard on ready to be serviced!... Nope! floridarob 1 Quote

Bali is the common place for people to visit, but I've had as many if not more luck in Jakarta and Surabaya, going to add Bandung in my next trip. Less expensive in everything as a country except maybe alcohol. I like to have drinks with the guys and finding a drinker in Indonesia can be a challenge, but not impossible. Plus clean circumcisions , none of the potential scary looking ones you run into in the Philippines 😱 jeremy, garygx, Pantherz and 1 other 2 2 Quote
