Barcelona - Thermas: Summary of Info
funic replied to 12is12's topic in European Men and Destinations
Are guys over there into bareback? Don't judge me, I'm on PrEP and regularly tested. -
Will gladly read it!

100eur/h but that was before the inflation burst, might be higher. I wouldn't pay more than 150 even in case of a literal Slavic god, it's a small fortune over there. Youngsters might be interested in meeting with an exotic foreigner who will leave town soon without risk of the entire neighborhood finding out. Hotels are fine (it's not Saudi Arabia) but I'd rather rent a single room apartment and enjoy the local sausages without a single worry.

It's the Balkans, a region with manly macho culture and deeply rooted homophobia. At best, you'll find a couple of saunas and a bar in some capitals and major cities. Hunqz/Romeo is surprisingly quite well stacked with XXL tops (pretty much all from Croatia, Serbia and Bulgaria), Grindr may deliver some interesting surprises. Just writing this triggered a nice flashback of feeling torn apart by a XXL Bulgarian top with a gymnast/calisthenics body. I should travel there more often.

Gladly. If you check my profile history you'll find some posts about the region. Here's a generic writedown of the region I wrote a while ago. My favorite country overall is Montenegro (in the summer) where many Balkan tops spend their summer on the seaside towns. Serbia would be actually first in terms of men, but you'd actually need an actual reason to visit (it's hardly the most beautiful country in the region, quite the opposite, though the men really make it worth a visit themselves). Montenegro is also exceptionally beautiful and relatively off the beaten track of mass tourism (most tourists you'll see around are from the Balkan themselves and plenty of cruise ships from pretty much all the known world). Of course stay away from Podgorica, which is one of the ugliest capitals in the entire continent. A good compromise for men and sights would be Bulgaria, which has both the sights and the men. Sofia has plenty of handsome men and it's worth a visit by itself. The smaller beach cities (Varna and the others on the Black Sea) often have a few hidden surprises when the temperatures go up again. If you were to travel now (or generally speaking, Autumn/Winter), Sofia and Belgrade would be the only two places I'd bother with. Note that I'm taking in account both sights and men, nobody can deny there are so many much more beautiful places in Croatia, Slovenia and so on. Bosnia is gorgeous but not much offer over there. Never been to Slovenia. Can't recommend specific escort names as my favourites seem to move around the region and deactivate their profiles during the winter season when there's very little foreign tourism involved. Hope this was helpful.

Greece is one of the best places these days, it has this combination of western development and low wages that gives you horny Greek tops for 100 eur/h. Such prices used to be the norm anywhere else in western Europe (save London). My favourite area in the entire world would be the Balkans, if you don't mind the gritty but charming and full of life post-Yugoslavia vibe.

Prague ain't all that anymore
funic replied to TownsendPLocke's topic in European Men and Destinations
I went to Prague a cpl months ago and my experiences match the ones of previous posters... gorgeous city but it just doesn't live the reputation in terms of gay life. And overtourism is really out of control these days. -
Well, tell us more about it please 😛 I'm visiting myself this summer (booked before checking out this thread) and will definitely post feedback. I can only hope they're even half as good in bed and hung as guys in the Balkans...
-
Very interesting report, thanks. I've been to XXL earlier this summer on a weekend and yes, it was definitely busy and super kinky. Can confirm your impression on Trombeta, wonderful environment but wish there was more fun going on.
-
What if I'm going to Prague looking for actual butch men, no interest in twinks?
-
Hung, masculine slavs that charge 100eur and will skip the rubber if you ask nicely 90% of the time
-
Romeo and Grindr
-
They do. They also have generally speaking very good bodies overall. Serbs are (imho) the hungest ones of the entire region, Romania is a bit of a mess in terms of hiring quality and opportunities. Yeah those are the main sites and apps.
-
Are bjs at this massage place offered as top or bottoms? Some of the guys are quite my tipe and wouldn't mind sucking them off.
-
Plenty of guys on websites, rates are quite cheap compared to the rest of Europe (100eur/h) and they're Bulgarian which means very well endowed
-
Thanks a lot for the updated info. How were you offered said bj?
-
Thanks for the replies, I've been there this month and can post some updates myself. It's a beautiful country very much worth a visit and still considerably cheaper than most of Europe. The escort situation is... so so. Saw little next to nothing on Grindr but I didn't try Podgorica where most of the escort seemed to congregate. A handful escorts operated in the small towns next to the riviera, if you're lucky you might have a good chance if you like the XXL brute balkan top stereotype. A decent amount of gay tourists considering there are two gay beaches in the country (Ratac and Ada Ciganlija).

Barcelona (Thermas) 2019 latest recommendations
funic replied to joe2001london's topic in European Men and Destinations
Is bareback on the menu or do the guys insist on condoms? I'm on Prep btw. -
Anyone familiar with this beautiful country? I have been to Serbia before and everyone there said Montenegro is a must visit in terms of places to visit and guys.
-
I've noticed a large increase in the amount of escorts on websites like rent.men and hunqz
-
I've been there last summer when the lockdown was lifted, sorry I forgot to write a report but yeah, I've noticed a worrying amount of guys will start conversations out of nowhere leading to asking for financial support. Not just escorts but also random users from hookup websites and apps. This never happened anywhere else, and definitely left a sour taste.
-
A gay acquaintance of mine (a way more adventurous one than I could ever dream to be) who visited a while ago mentioned that condoms are pretty much not used in Egypt, is it the case?
-
My experience was pretty much the same, even though I visited it only once so I have no memories of what it used to be. I can only say that the biggest and busiest hangout of my 2 weeks visit was the cruising area down the cliff by the church. The fabulous clubs, bars and beaches were...meh. Everything felt gentrified, expensive and overrun by mass tourism. And man did the cruise ships destroy the atmosphere whenever they were in town. Hordes of people walking the same path, taking the same pictures and maybe not even spending a dime, maybe a "traditional" trinket or gelato was the highlight of their visit. Same kind of locust tourism that plagues Venice. At least if those were gay ships the cruising area would have had more dick! It's definitely still worth a visit but I honestly couldn't find a reason to come back when there are places like Berlin in Europe, and it's the same story I heard from the fellow gay tourists I talked to.
-
Yeah that thing can be immensely frustrating, glad you made it through. The guys in there are worth it.
-
Grindr might attract the casual guys who might as well earn an extra buck. I had college students offering their dicks for dirt cheap prices there.
