I am researching airbnbs in Medellin. Some of them, in the house rules, explicit forbid visitors in order to avoid sex tourism and procuring. Is this a formal legal wonder that no one cares about? Should I avoid these places? Thank you to the Medellin connoisseurs!

Report on Tomy's OnlyFans

I had not signed up to A4A since June. Today I tried for the first time, and I am redirected to a Terms and Conditions screen. Weird. I am using the app with no issues, though.

You are right. I apologize, I should have stayed on my original post.

It is stigmatization because an anonymous poster makes such a serious accusation and you and others run to believe it and to assume the worse.

You do not need to ask me. Read my posts as carefully as I should have read your comment about lies.

Hey, I am not triggered this time. I insist, you are misreading my posts. You are running to judge and "held accountable" someone after hearing only one part of the story. You repeat that I said it is OK to lie, which is only in your imagination. You are suggesting that this man should be reported if he has committed a felony. If that is not HIV stigmatization and sex negativity, we may just have very different mindsets. Anyways, I do not really care about having a debate with you. I was trying to give advise to the poster, whether or not he agrees with it.

Please, read my posts more carefully. I clearly stated that the escort acted wrongly. I am not justifying his actions or saying he has not responsibility. The fact that you are misreading what I clearly wrote, allows me to think that this IS about HIV stigmatization and sex negativity.

Correct. Obviously, your arguments do not convince me. You jump too quickly to judge one of the parties without knowing both sides of the story.

Let's be clear: I disagree.

I am not sure. Many gay men are miserable human beens who would report this guy in a blink, no matter his circumstances.

In my case, all of the above.

I just came from an annoying situation where I would not understand what a waitress was asking me in a coffee shop. Unfortunately, it looks like we will have to mask up for a very long time.

I am sorry for the bad news, but fortunately nowadays it is not tragic, as other posters point out. I would not report him. You may be not that promiscuos, but your wording gives us enough clues to tell he is not the only one who may have infected you. If you had unprotected sex with him, you probably also did the same with others. Am I right? Additionally, I do not think that you should look at this in legal terms. Whether or not this is a felony or a crime, does not help to your situation and to your relationship with this human been. Whatever reasons led him to hide his status and to not protect you, I doubt they were coming from an evil nature or intention. I think you know now how hard to cope with the news is. Who knows what circumstances took him to make this wrong decision? Try to see the human side of the issue, not the legal one. I would have a conversation, or several ones depending on our relationship, trying to make him understand the importance of protecting his partners. I would not try to convince him to disclose his HIV status in his profile. In my opinion, it is private and he does not need to do it to protect others. I would make sure he knows how I feel and how easily he could have prevented it. Just remember, we are assuming he infected you. If I am not wrong, and you did have unprotected sex with others, As you insightfully understand, in case he did infect you, it is not only his responsibility. His decision to have unprotected sex knowing he was + puts more weight on his side, indeed. However, you cannot blame him for your own decision. It is true, you would have probably acted differently should you knew the whole picture. However, you knew better and you consciously decided to take the risk. The same goes for everyone who decides to have unprotected sex. I am really sorry, and I do not know what I would do in your situation. I do not know how emotionally affected you are. Whatever you decide to do, do not make any decision now. Please, wait until you are able to think rationally what the best thing to do is.

Feliz cumpleaños to one of my top (pun intended) favorite posters: @WilliamM

Oh yeah. I am slightly deaf, and listening is my weakest communicational skill (imagine!). I have problems conversing in Spanish with masks on, in English can be just hellish for me. Interesting.

Just let me clarify that my major concerns are not my health, as reasonable measures (vaccines, mask, etc) make me feel safe enough. My concerns are more related to unexpected changes like what just happened to me, being forced to extend my visit to Buenos Aires beyond the original plan because of regulation changes, or local crisis related to the pandemic that may affect traveling plans.

If more variants keep coming up, and vaccination levels keep being this low and this uneven not only across the world but also within countries, traveling internationally will imply taking risks for a long time. I cannot (do not want to?) wait.

One more, while I am waiting to board my plane in EZE. I forgot to recommend a restaurant and share the last two items checked out of my To Eat List. The Museo del Jamón is a tradicional Spanish (from Spain) cuisine restaurant close to Avenida de Mayo & Avenida 9 de Julio. I used to love it when I was living in Baires and I was not disappointed. I ate a great Tortilla Española: And finally, I got my only Flan con Dulce de Leche in this trip: And this reporting is now over. I think?

Right now I am waiting in my airbnb for a car service that will pick me up and take me to Ezeiza. At today's exchange rate, it costs me U$S 12.33. Just finished packing. Yesterday, I got my airbnb's hostess to refund me almost 90 bucks. On Wednesday, I went to the Lab to get my covid test, ready for a fight. My appointment was August 2nd, and I thought that I had a better chance walking up to their site instead of calling. No fight was needed, the whole process was delightful. They even refunded me money, as I had paid for a PCR test. As the well known lazy dilettante I am, I did not research properly and just assumed that the PCR test needed to entry Argentina was a universal demand. Fortunately, this lazy dilettante feeds from the wisdom of the real experts. Thanks to the friend @floridarob, I learned that you need a rapid antigen test to entry the US. I had paid for a test that costs twice what I needed. However, not only everyone was super friendly and accommodating, from the security guard to the nurses, not only they administered the test without an appointment that day, but they algo gave me back half of the money. I ended paying U$S 20 for the rapid test. I could have gotten it for free in the public system, but did not want to take the risk of a delay in case they were overwhelmed. If you happen to be in Buenos Aires, I strongly recommend LABORATIORIO ROSSI. I actually chose them amongst the recommendations in the US embassy website. They have a very friendly user portal to set appointments and pay, and several locations in the city. They told me that the results could take up to 24 hours. A few minutes after I walked in back to my airbnb, I was receiving an email with a link to my negative result. Sweet. These last days I walked a little bit for Monserrat and San Telmo, which are more or less Buenos Aires Historic District. This is a representative view: My iPhone is not very good at taking the images without adding light everywhere (or I do not know how to use it properly), and you cannot appreciate in this pictures how daylight is fading, and classic farolas are already lightning up in the background. This is a very popular neighborhood amongst foreigners. They mostly come on weekends, though, when these empty streets become very crowded, many of them closed for vehicular traffic and turned into only pedestrian. It is an area full with antiques stores, and an antiques street fair on weekends. As I am walking late and on a weekday, most stores are close, but you can see a few examples. Many blocks are filled with stores likes these ones. Also take a look at this picture, because if you visit Buenos Aires you will probably not recognize this place: It is the famous Plaza Dorrego, which is wrongly called "Placita San Telmo" by many. You would not recognize this place because you would probably visit on a weekend. Walking would be challenging in the crowd, and the space would be covered with stands offering antiques and art-craft. This was an area I used to visit a lot during the last years of the military dictatorship back in the early 80s. Back then, gays and lesbians would shelter in this area rather than Barrio Norte. I used to hang out in bars around Plaza Dorrego a lot. Then, during the second half of the 80s and the first of the 90s, I was involved in acting and directing theater in the local alternative circuit. I walked by the place where I took my first acting class. Now it is a typical store selling used furniture. It is also the Bohemian hood in Buenos Aires, where artists choose to live. Many of my artists friends still live there, and I am always visiting them. So not only I have been in this area in each of my visits to the city, but besides I'm very familiar with it. Of course I notice changes like old stores gone and new ones arrived, but everything else is pretty much the same. I do not see the blooming change I saw in Palermo, a mostly unknown territory for me. This is a very alive area at night in non pandemic times, almost as much as Palermo. Last night I wanted to say goodbye with a boom, but my plans went wrong. They started surprisingly well, and then they went in a very wrong direction. At 4 pm I received Y, my Venezuelan friend. I think I shared before that our sex was not so satisfactory and we were drifting towards a "clean" friendship. Well, we had an amazing chemistry. Not only the sex rapport was intense, but the whole interaction was very warm and fulfilling. We had a shower together, and oral sex while bathing each other. Then we continued making out and we were about to have full sex when we realized it was 7:30. I had made an appointment at 8 with one of my favorite local escorts. We had been even fucking for free, and I wanted to say goodbye paying him his new fee (thanks to my advertising he has now a new and higher fee) in full, and having amazing sex. I had warned him I may be saying goodbye to a friend when he arrived at 8. When Y and I realized it was 7:30, we decided to smoke a quick joint and have some more oral sex instead of fucking. I was eating his ass when my date rang 15 mins before scheduled. I went down to bring him up, and warned him that he had interrupted us because he came in earlier. Everything seemed to be OK. I am not going to enter in details from here. The point is that he was completely disrespectful and dismissive of my dear friend, with all the racist and xenophobic attitudes that trigger me. You all know how easy I am to trigger with these things. It is not only online. After walking Y out, apologizing for the bad moment (he was shaking, trying to control his rage), I came back furious and had a two hours very uncomfortable conversation, and of course no sex. So I had that bad closing of my night. I am happy now because I have already talked several times with Y and he (we) is fine. Today I had a last lunch with home made cooking. After kissing goodbye my mom and sister, I came to my base to pack and here you have me. This is the last report I am posting in this thread. I think.

I noticed that some usernames show up colored on green. I thought that it would be to sign that they are online, but it is not that. Does anyone know what that green means?

We have a traveler to Argentina and zero to Brazil. We keep winning! A joke, just in case any Brazilian friend is reading.

LOL. I think you do not know what I am talking about.

By the way, @azdr0710, you always criticize my over complimenting reports. This is an example of a not so complimenting one. There are more.

Would have never read a thread titled "West Hollywood" without being tagged. Yeah, thanks @azdr0710, there you have my report, @Epigonos.
