On internet forums like this one, there is an insidious psychology that takes hold. One or two negative voices can easily feel like "the whole forum" is ganging up against you. In most cases, the loudest voices represent the views of a very, very small minority. We must also consider that the written word often loses the tone that the author intended. In person, you may be able to make some comments where you communicate a wry sarcasm through your tone of voice or facial expressions, but online that may come across in a very different way than you intended. Sarcasm is very dangerous in written forums.
This particular forum relies more than most on the anonymity of its users. That anonymity gives us great freedom to discuss things we wouldn't talk about with even our closest friends in real life. But, it also gives an opportunity for "trolls" to misbehave without any repercussions. If you feel attacked, or you're feeling empathy for someone else being attacked here, consider that the opinions of anonymous internet trolls should have absolutely no impact on you. Let it go, don't escalate it.

Be aware that even if you purchase the ship's internet service, location-based apps like Grindr or Scruff don't really work at sea. Your phone (and the phones of other cruisers) can't reliably determine your location. You may have some luck using the apps while in port and then continuing your conversations once out to sea, but that depends on whether other cruisers do the same.
The ships will often organize LGBT+ gatherings (sometimes listed as "Friends of Dorothy") but, depending on the demographics of the voyage, you may find that most people are traveling as couples or with families.

I just keep seeing Karen Walker’s maid on “Will & Grace.”

I needed a good therapeutic massage, so I gave him a try. His massage was completely legit, and started out draped although it didn't end that way. It was one of the best legit massages that I've ever experienced, and although he didn't avoid massaging any "sensitive" areas, there was no sexual energy whatsoever, and no HE. I will definitely be back when I want a legit massage.

His Instagram mentions he's an "Opacarophile." Look that up and make sure it aligns with your interests.

Your intuition about Rentmen is 100% correct. The guys who advertise there often expect to get US prices because rentmen is primarily used by visitors from the US. You'll find that guys on mileroticos.com typically charge 200,000 pesos (about $50). Another site, skokka.com.co are even less, often 100,000 pesos, although I think it's more along the lines of the old craigslist. You also may find you're amazingly popular on Grindr where older white guys seem to be considered exotic and desirable.
Unlike Mexico, it's pretty hard to find guys who speak English. If you don't speak Spanish, Google Translate may be your new best friend. When contacting guys (they all use WhatsApp, btw), it's probably best to start in Spanish, at least until you get a rate. If you start in English, I think you'll get the gringo rates that they use on rentmen.

I currently like to stay near Parque de la 93. It's an upscale neighborhood and feels very safe day or night. There are lots of pubs and restaurants nearby.
On my first trip to Bogota, I strived to stay near the gay bars, but I quickly learned that was not the best strategy. In that part of town, things vary widely from block to block, and some areas are pretty sketchy. Ubers are amazingly cheap in Bogota, just $2-3 to go clear across town, so it isn't so important to stay close to the action.

I stayed at Chapinero, near The Theatron. I would recommend it only if your main goal is deep diving into the local gay night life. I would not go to La Candelaria either. Picturesque, but too touristic during the day and I am unsure about what is going on there at night, it may be unsafe. Zona T and anything north of Chapinero is lovely.

I think he is. Kenny texted me to let me know that TSMS is closed and that he is temporarily working at Paris.

I think this analysis is fundamentally flawed. Consider the top line: West Hollywood. The men who advertise there are usually serving the entire Los Angeles area. So, the saturation is calculated based on the number of advertisers compared to the population of West Hollywood (about 35,000) instead of Los Angeles (about 4 million) or the greater Los Angeles area (about 18 million).
My intuition tells me that New York City is just as saturated (or more) than Los Angeles, and yet this analysis paints the opposite picture.

For what it's worth, I avoid guys who call themselves "total tops" or "strict tops." In my experience, these guys are selfish tops who don't take into account the pleasure and comfort of the bottom. The worst are guys with hangups about their masculinity who think that it's "more gay" to bottom than it is to top.
In my opinion, some experience bottoming makes a person a better top because they can understand and relate to the experience of the bottom.

Whatever you do, bring sufficient US dollars or Euros. Unlike most places, where you'll get a decent exchange rate using an ATM (or using a credit card for everything), in Argentina, their economy is such a disaster that you'll get a MUCH better rate exchanging cash for Argentinian Pesos through sketchy street vendors.

I enjoy it when clients give me their clear, enthusiastic consent. The more ways you can indicate you like what is happening in the session, the better. For example:
Moans, groans, gasps, whimpers, swearing, and other vocalizations expressing your pleasure. These are the best. It makes it very clear you are enjoying yourself and want more. It’s more difficult to misinterpret these than anything else.
Changes in your breathing. I don’t mean falling asleep, per se, but that is fine too. Short intense breaths when you’re excited, or long intentional breaths when you’re focused on relaxing your body, like a meditation. Heavy sighs. Vocalizations with your breathing and sighs.
Raising your hips, when face down or face up. It doesn’t take much to get the message across. You can be subtle. Shift the angle of your hips, arch your lower back a little. Shift slightly from side to side. Some men are extreme about this. I call it stink bugging, and it’s comical. Some go so extreme they end up on all fours. You don’t need to go that far. With your hip signals, go for the verbal equivalent of a whisper rather than a scream.
Adjusting your cock downward when face down to provide access. Or start on the table positioned this way. Many of my clients do.
Squeezing my hand when I am holding yours. Interlocking fingers.
Reciprocal touching when my body is on/near your hand, like brushing against my torso or lightly stroking my cock.
Gently touching my legs or other parts of my body. Not “grabbing”, aggressively “pulling”, scratching, slapping, etc. Gentle, sensual touch is best.
Even better when clients verbalize directly like, “Is it ok to touch you?” or “I like that.”
I’m sure I’ll think of more. There are so many ways to indicate interest and pleasure. Lots of subtle cues.
Masseurs willing to do more on the sensual and erotic spectrum will clearly get the message and indulge you. Those who won’t will refrain, but it’s pretty hard to misinterpret all these signs.
When your masseur is not responding in any way to your cues, it means he is not going there. Let it go and move on. Enjoy the massage for what it is.
