Sorry AirBnb yes... I'll edit.

Update on this guys - while I was away in CDMX Uber contacted me to apologise. Don't know why. It was out of the blue. Possibly their internal review? They offered me 300$ USD per night as compensation plus a full refund and the apartment will no longer be offered. I asked if someone else had had the same issue and they couldn't answer.

Just come back from a trip from Mexico City so I thought I'd give an update. Arriving at the airport there are self service passport checks at the border. As you come into arrivals - turn right and you'll find the official taxi payment processors DO NOT go outside and get your own taxi. It's about 300 pesos to the city. I stayed at the Sheraton for 9 nights. I had no problems bringing guests back. This is a decent hotel and I was upgraded from a Corner Suite to a Malmaison Penthouse Suite. Bars are relatively conservative I went to the following: In the gay area: Blow Bar - 150 pesos cover charge. This is 70% women to 30% men. GoGos are hot but they keep their shorts on the whole time. The women here tend to be a bit screetchy and scream when the guys dance. Marikoteca - Unsure of the cover charge because it was 250 pesos on NYE. This used to be kinky bar - 50% to 50% men and women. The women here are different, chill, don't scream etc. Again GoGos are hot but stay in shorts. Drag show is maximum effort - one bitch was waltzing round in a ball gown. Workshop/ El Taller - 100 pesos cover charge. Drag show; no GoGos but the staff are really the nicest in the city. Chilled out. Macho and King/ Papi Fun bar* - No cover charge, no menus and no show; these are scam bars. Do not go to them. You will pay prices similar to Los Angeles. Sauna Olympio* - 250 cover charge, decent enough gay sauna and bathhouse. Outside the gay area: Tom's Leather Bar - 250 pesos cover charge inc. five drinks. Guys dance with hard ons in the two bar areas. They do this every half hour from 10:30 for 15 minutes. The crowd and the staff are good fun here. Worth the Uber with one caveat - I'm a smoker when on a night out so I didn't mind but the guys here smoke in the main bar which wouldn't be ideal for someone with respiratory problems. Near the historic center: Funny Love Cabinas - 100 pesos cover charge inc. one drink. This is cabins in a sex shop. You go in and take the elevator to the 2nd floor. The guys stand around the Cabins. There is a show here (full sex) but they don't give out the details. It just happens. Sexto Piso - 150 pesos cover charge. Most difficult place to find. In the same street as Funny Love you go into a building and it's on the 6th floor. Staff very nice. Cruise club with light room and dark room. Guys fucking all over. Cine Savoy - 60 pesos entry. Old fashion sex cinema. Anyone can get it here. It's packed with about 100 men. Things to be aware of: Gringo prices - You will pay gringo prices in a load of bars. I've put * next to the ones I paid extra in. This can be anywhere from an extra 100 pesos in the sauna to an extra 100$ in Macho and King bars. If they won't give you a price list, just walk out. HOWEVER, if you chose to be taken to a table by a waiter and they run around after you and look after you all night expect to pay about 20% for drinks. I didn't mind at all because I took it as a service charge but if you're on a tight budget go to the bar yourself. Uber - Uber is 99% safe however, do not come off the main drag or the busy areas to make it easier for your driver. This leaves you vulnerable. The concierge told me that occasionally an Uber driver accepts and if the area is remote, they send friend to rob the gringo waiting for them. The metro - If you want to get flashed at, or see someone suck off a random guy - use the last carriage of the metro from Cuauhtémoc to Hidalgo. The street scene - Not my thing but there are a few guys who look too vulnerable to me but they offer sex for less than 10$. These are not in much evidence but they are occasionally available and always on Hamburgo Street between C.Ambrese and C.Varsovia. Closed bars - old favourites BoyBar and BotasBar are perminantly closed. Honestly - I'll be back to Rio for my next adventure. CDMX isn't a lovely place but fun.

I'm still pretty new in the game so a bit of a rant here - yesterday I was at Lagao, found a guy I liked went out and then headed back to my AirBnb and the facial recognition picked up he wasn't registered so I rang the owner to register him and they said they don't let gay men bring guests! I really book rooms to sleep in, not to have a stranger monitor and approve my sex life. If, every time, Julia Roberts had gone to see Richard Gere at the Beverley Wilshire, the security guards had surrounded her, it would have ruined Pretty Woman. Is there a security reason for this? Specifically the gay man bit got me - I mean we aren't going to burn the place down. Surely they have my Amex card on file if anything goes wrong?

There's a gay club literally next door called the Pink Flamingo. It's good in there

Everything is included at The Palace - even the guy who brought the bags to the room - next time I go I'll stay there again.

I had a friend who was paying a guy 1000 reais everynight and hung with him for 7 nights. We stayed at the Palace in Rio and I was in the suite next door. I'm sure the guy heard that we were staying at an overpriced hotel and put the rate up. When he told me how much he was paying I felt like throwing him off the balcony.

Has this hotel not been renovated recently? Last time I was there they had scaffolding around it

Guys, I'm planning a trip to Mexico City and I've got a fair idea of what to check out thanks to this forum 🙂 One question that I have though is the metro crusing. There are videos on the web of guys fucking on the metro - is this a thing or just porno-scenario?

This is an important thought. And let's me honest. It would be wrong to see a guy you had made a genuine connection with starve for food

I recently finished another trip to SP and I met a couple of guys who worked there. We formed a bit of a smoking area club and hung out a lot. They gave me WhatsApp and insta contacts and I thought they were genuinely interested in being friends. Is there anyone with anymore experience to give me advice here? Have I mixed up a good service from an escort or could I have a genuine connection with these (2) guys? The reason I'm thinking it is more is the extras... both of the guys let me know some of their vulnerabilities and one took me to his apartment to show me round. I was introduced to friends of there's outside the club. Ps. I don't have an attachment disorder. 😄

I don't think people need the Bible to be homophobic. One of the most bigoted people I know - a guy at work - is an outspoken Atheist.

this wasn't a requirement for me so I couldn't comment

Yeah forgot this - some (rare) customers are a bit unwashed - be hygienic

South Asians are well treated. I hung out with a guy from Singapore and the boys in 117 were very interested in him. There was even a bingo game and one of the GPs helped him find the numbers. You'll have a great time.
