polysome

He's still there and he was great. Also could recommend David (the Barcelona guy with ink).

I went to this one but there maybe many others: https://gay-massage.gr/maser/ My recommendation - ask for Angelos 🙂 (would also like to try Giannis, but he was on leave when I was there last sumemr). DM for me details/further questions.

Any updates or recent info? Has anyone been to Babylon or Phoenix Sauna?

Hunqz/ Grindr/ online + sauna (Alexander) + a few gay massage places I have not done the street thing: that area in question is quite dodgy and seems really unsafe, in my opinion. I personally just stick around the Gazi neighborhood which has great (non-touristy) restaurants and the nightlife scene.

I did get to go and found the environment "spa like", reception area (though your masseur is your receptionist), what looked like several massage rooms I went with Todd (he was very cute and twunky), quite happy with the service and would be happy to have him again; but next time, I'd love to try Tony or Zack.

Any thoughts on Airbnb vs hotels? For bringing in "friends".

Any thoughts or reviews on masseurs?

Especially curious about saunas and massage places!

How's the activity in Thermas during weekdays? Like Mon or Tues afternoon, evening.

I can pitch in with my own experience: Sauna: 69 >>> Magnum, smaller but also cleaner, nicer and the clientele fit what I was looking for. Saw action almost everyday I visited including a Tues and a Mon. The wet steam room is a great place to be. But the dark areas can also be fun. Some people can be nicely upfront - I had multiple guys try to assemble threesomes during the weekend near the dark area. And on a Monday, hooked up with a hot German guy visiting. Grindr: Too much work Hunqz: I met up with 2 providers, both were very mid. One wore too much perfume and was basically in a rush so he can meet his friends. __________

Budapest is meh compared to Prague. Athens is great and highly underrated.

Any thoughts on S2?

When I went to a hammam a 10 years ago, I was with a friend and we were both made to wear what can only be described as a "paper thong". Our hammam attendant was an elderly grandma though so the experience felt more like you were being scrubbed like a kid.

I have the impression that many would. Higashi Shinjuku has a few branches around the neighborhood. Another travel hack : if flying via Haneda, there's an onsen in the airport. Clutch for late night arrivals or late night departures.

Beautiful beaches. However, main thoroughfares can get crowded with (mostly) Brits.

Going there soon - other than online, is there action elsewhere? Saunas or hammams? Maybe cruising bars or clubs? Is the scene dodgy - asking as I'm traveling solo.

Any new on-the-ground reports on Budapest? Planning a trip there between Vienna to Belgrade - trying to see if still worth a 3-4 day stop. Also would love to hear news/updates on Rudas bath house!

Curious about Royal Hammam - how pushy are the guys in terms of getting work? And when you do use them, do they have the classic "limits" - i.e. top only, no kissing, no oral, etc?

Anyone here have tips/recs on active escorts (e.g. via Hunqz)? Planning a Vienna-Budapest-Belgrade trip Sept/Oct 2024! Also hear that Belgrade is now better than Budapest in terms of the scene, bars, density of guys, etc.
