Definitely... I've never reached out to him, but have always been curious. His pics with his Thai husband are nauseating. lol I don't know if they post constantly to avoid questions from immigration to prove their love. But yeah, as an earlier commenter said, I've always been pretty amazed by his travel budget... let alone his budget to be a sugar daddy to his husband. Unless the huz somehow has money. They both advertise on RM based out of FL. But I followed them on their socials for a while and they're constantly traveling.

This was about 3 or 4 weeks ago in FL.

Saw him on Grindr looking for a place to live. I bet there's lots of room for negotiation.

Reading all this makes me so glad I have a passport.

I think I understand the confusion. The food truck that operates OUTSIDE LeBoy posted to the LeBoy socials they're moving.

Eh I get that.... I like it loud, but less so as I get older. I think a bigger issue is the playlist. If you liked the music, the volume might not be as annoying. Matt's one of the few that gets it... entertain the clients not the dancers. Although I'm not a Johnson's kind of guy (not into the muscled up gym rat type), the vibe at Johnson's is so much better than any other strip club in North America. I'm not saying you should play Rock Around the Clock, but play stuff clients would enjoy from THEIR club days when they were younger and getting action without having to hit the ATM. Matt hits the sweet spot with 80s and 90s stuff. As soon as I hear Nicki Minaj or shiz like that, I'm ready to go.

I'll echo Bob. PV hasn't really been on my radar until this post.

Popped in briefly tonight. About a dozen dancers from what I saw... none really my type (twink to twunk). Lots of beefy and beards. Just not my thing. But didn't seem terribly busy for a Friday night.

Definitely. Seems like it's money sitting on the table nobody wants to pick up. I can't imagine the government would try to stop it as they would in North America.

There's one I know of in both Medellin and Bogota that sort of operate that way but generally you're way better off finding some fun online (mileroticos) or on Grindr and you meet there at the love motel. The selection at the brothel type places is really limited and a little lackluster. The Bogota one advertises on mileroticos often. The one in Medellin is a little more underground... look up "Ferchos" or something like that. I only used them a couple times on trips years ago. So I don't have a lot of knowledge on them.

Yeah Colombia isn't as much of a strip club spot. They had one a couple years ago called (I think) Garage? But in terms of opportunities, Bogota blows the North American cities away. It's just not in the bar scene like Montreal or Ft Lauderdale where the main function of the bar is dancers/backrooms. The big thing in Colombia is the love hotel. You hire a guy online, meet at a love motel and have your fun. The love motel culture is pretty wild. I read that it started primarily because so many Colombians live with their family much longer than we do so they needed a place to have their fun. Theatron is an ENORMOUS megaclub. It's something to see. But the dancers are easily missed if you're not looking for them. It's just a giant disco.

Correct. Tried to find what I wrote earlier that would've implied otherwise. I was just making the point that Johnsons is comfortable and an enjoyable experience. If you could put the LeBoy roster in Johnsons I'd be a happy dude. But yes, Johnsons has never been a twink bar and probably never will be. I doubt any city could support more than one. Montreal has Taboo. Ft Lauderdale has LeBoy.

I'll pile on in the sentiment about Fort Lauderdale pricing. Outside the drink prices at Johnsons, there's little to get excited about anymore. I'd be bummed if the scene went away so I still try to visit. But I used to visit Ft Lauderdale 5 or 6 times a year. It's down now to about once a year. Back during the Johnny's days, I'd do 3 or 4 dances a night. I think I've done one dance at LeBoy in 5 years. If I'm interested in a guy, I'll make an offer to head to my place. If that's your strategy, go on slower nights like Sunday. On Friday or Saturdays, usually the hotter guys have plenty of attention and cash. Ask them what other days they're working. I like the vibe at Johnsons. It's much more relaxing. Comfortable places to sit. Drink prices are reasonable, especially during happy hour. It's just that I'm not into the bro gym rats. Twinks and twunks are my thing and Johnsons tries to accommodate guys like me by having 1 or 2 on the roster, but it's like going to a sushi restaurant when you're craving steak. LeBoy has more my type of dancer, but LeBoy is as comfortable to sit as a bus station. Wish they'd redo the entire layout to be more like Johnsons. If someone has a Delorean, I'd love to go back to the Johnny's days. I loved the Wild West nature of the place. Nobody peeking in curtains. No fees. It was dark and seedy and sure LeBoy is prettier inside... but that's not why I go to Ft Lauderdale. The other thing that has kept me from visiting often... hotel prices. Same for Montreal. When you visit international destinations that have a lot more to do and prices are much more agreeable, you might as well bust the passport out and head to Europe, Brazil, Colombia or Thailand. All expenses combined (food, accommodations, and "entertainement"), the cost of a trip are the same if not less.

Friend of mine was up there this past week and said Campus was dead but Expose and Taboo were fun. He said it wasn't packed as in previous years, but was glad to see dancers and not a female dance party as seen in recent social media pics. The pics of a couple of the Expose dancers were right up my alley (I'm into the 18-25ish range, not too much muscle, but some.) Might head up there later this summer.

Most who have quarrels like this are smart to not risk their case by commenting publicly. Giovani is drama and wears it proudly. I'm all for being who you are unapologetically. But a business owner being greedy is hardly a crime. Mistreating dancers - I can't speak to that. If it's true, file charges. But the things that come out of Giovani's mouth makes me wonder who would ever put him in any managerial role. Let alone one where he's the voice of a company. He's had to backtrack and apologize a few times for things that fell out of his mouth - but the apologies seemed far from heartfelt. His positive contribution was getting the club's social media up to speed. Most clubs are way behind on their social media presence. Boardwalk posts the bear bartenders doing a GIF in the same pose every week - as if that'd get me to go. They don't showcase the dancers. Johnson's makes a good effort, but could do more. But LeBoy has been the only one that would entice me to go just based on social postings. However, Giovani's personality just irritates the bejesus out of me. If he had his way, LeBoy would've become a drag bar. The whole tirade he went on a few months back about customers complaining about dancers wearing high heels and so forth shows he really doesn't get how business works. He threatened to ban any customers who didn't like heels and dared to express that. In business, you give the customer what they want. You can express yourself and fly all your colors to the world, especially in Wilton Manors, at a variety of clubs and protests. But when you're on the clock and trying to make a dollar, give customers what they want. For example, one thing that always puzzles me about clubs like LeBoy is the insistence on playing music the dancers like but customers have to tolerate. That's one definite strength for Johnsons. They play a lot of music that is catered to the customer's taste. Anyway, I'm rambling. But a friend told me about this walk out thing. I'd be surprised if it even happened. And even more surprised if it made a dent. I hope to have clubs like LeBoy, Johnsons and Boardwalk around for years to come. The internet has done a number on the scene and it makes sense why. Clubs have to step up and provide a level of personal service and an environment that Chaturbate or OnlyFans can't.
