Struck out again on day number 2 at the Sauna - what I was looking for wasnt on offer. Had a good time chatting with some of the providers and they seemed to be in good spirits and quite welcoming. Will stop by again on my next visit and will recommend to anyone who wants friendly company and a bit of eye candy. Did meet a cute (and obviously horny!) university student at my hotel bar. He was looking for company and delighted to meet someone willing to buy drinks and a good meal. I was happy to oblige. He stayed overnight and we just had a great breakfast after some early morning exercise. 😉

The place looks about like I remember it, maybe a little cleaner than the last time I was there. And more staff around too. Providers were friendly and almost all of them stopped by to say hello - havent felt this popular since high school! 😆 Still, couldn't find an enthusiastic bttm. Mostly guys were tops or just looking for quick oral fun. (I swear, I am not THAT big!!) 😁 So on to plan B. May stop by again tomorrow and see if I get lucky.

Like you, I came into adulthood when HIV was a death sentence. Today, there are all kinds of wonderful medications that can help manage the disease. But management isn't a cure - I agree that it is important to remember that and consider your responsibility to your partners. People have short memories - many here may disagree with us, but playing safe is everyone's responsibility - especially now that STD infection rates are rising, almost everywhere and drug resistant strains are showing up routinely.

Work sent me to Europe for a few days. Arrived in Barcelona today and heading to Thermas. Wish me luck! 😉

Bonus points awarded for citing the Golden Girls! 😉 As that great philosopher, Van Wilder said: "Don't be a fool...wrap your tool!"

I may have a new hobby! (Well, that is until the whole thing comes crashing down and the SEC halts trading!)

I found this YouTube video. A good reminder that there are always those coming up with new scams and that you should remain mindful of the culture when traveling. Posting this in the Asia forum, but it is universal... https://youtu.be/feNzw6QrSPA

Thank you for the informative post. I didn't realize Grindr had a boost button. Even without it I had lots of fun in Southern Africa during a recent trip. Will remember it for next time!

I am very pro-sex workers and pro-science. The problem is that both of those things are often misunderstood (sometimes intentionally). Of particular concern when it comes to both is the new trend of doxy pep / casual use of anti-biotics - especially when I read articles like this. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/03/super-gonorrhea-rate-quickly-triples-in-china-now-40x-higher-than-us/

However, it's not surprising. Russia always acts only through blackmail, threats and assassinations. Fixed it for ya and includes the receipts!

Isn't there an old saying about how there is a suckered born every minute?

Stay safe everyone! 😁

To quote a diva: Haters gonna hate!

Is it me or are the "Americans are terrorists and the root of all evil" things being posted in multiple threads reaching spam levels??

Holy dancing cossacks! Could this thread get any weirder?

Really? 🤨

Is there an echo in here??

Consider: there are things worse than death. Regardless, my thoughts and prayers with the families of the victims.

Did you mean: Russia is a country of lies, propaganda and murders

This from a guy who wears white after labor day. Clearly his judgment should be called into question! 🤭

Well, now I feel a little neglected- nobody had ever offered me drugs on my visits!!! 😋😉

If you are an adult you only receive 2 shots, not 3. At least that is what my doctor told me.

Why create a new thread? Continuing an existing thread provides continuity, context and makes it easier when a member runs a search since you don't have to comb through multiple threads.
