Let's start with the (not so) bad news. Argentinean federal government has put in place restrictions that forced airlines to drastically reduce flights frequencies. I was supposed to be leaving on June 6th. Believe it or not, my new date to leave Buenos Aires is August 4th. I got an email from American yesterday, so you can imagine how stressed I have been since then. I perhaps-maybe-with luck could leave triangulating 30+ hours several stops flights and paying 3K, but fortunately I do not need to do that. Money is not an issue, lodging is not an issue (I already rented a place even better than the current one), not even my job is an issue, they will make accommodations. I am distressed mostly for two reasons. The most important one is my inability to deal with uncertainty. I had a plan that was working perfectly, and it was for a month. I did not plan for two months and right now I am in the middle of making re-arrangements. That stresses me out as hell. The secondary reason is my relationship with my "supervisor". I placed it in between quotation marks because we are also very close friends. She is right now going crazy because she needed me in DC next week, and as I love her beyond our professional relationship, I am upset. Hopefully, I will be fine tomorrow. Certainly, I am better than yesterday. It will be easy to readapt. First, I am not going broke because of this situation. My new airbnb is better and more expensive than the current one, but it is only 500 bucks for the full month. I still have plenty of cash, and if I run out of it I always have the CCs. I would lose the advantage of the black market exchange, but still everything is affordable. I will have to restrict the money invested in sex, but will have more time to explore Grindr and the local sex for free. I will have more time to spend with my mother, the rest of my relatives, and close friends. I will have to stop gaining weight at this pace, but still will be dieting eating delicious local food. My place in DC and my kitty are well taken care of by my friends and they are not a concern. The government's decision caught me unprepared, as the feeling in Buenos Aires is that the restrictions are being lifted. I even went out with friends a few days ago to a great Parrilla, and ate my first provoleta, another item checked out from my To Eat List. We ate in a place by my place, and all the restaurants seem born again with porteños (no tourists in the city) taking advantage of the few expected hours of sun, as rain was in the forecasting. When we sat to eat it was sunny and nice enough to endure the cold with the help of the sidewalk heating towers. When we finish eating, it was freezing and cloudy. So we decided to move inside to a coffee shop. As we were leaving the parrilla, we saw a street performance on its twin restaurant (same owners, we were in the parrilla corner, the other corner was a fish restaurant: La Dorita y La Pescadorita). Take a look, when I film back you can see the parrilla we are coming from. Notice the male siren in La Pescadorita. IMG_3226.MOV We just walked a block to find a nice coffee shop: Alchemia. The menu displayed dozens of coffee variations presented as the work of an alchemist, and the beverages were served in different shapes lab containers. I chose a spoon of vanilla ice cream with a double espresso shot. THE VIDEO THAT SHOULD BE HERE EXCEEDS THE SITE'S LIMITS. YOU CAN WATCH IT AT THE TWIN POST IN GAYGUIDES IF YOU WANT TO Delicious. Today I visited the Mercado de Pulgas. It is specialized in furniture and decoration, a traditional flee market refurnished and pumped as a touristic attraction by the city government. These are some of the pics I took. I loved these bar stalls, to sit butt to butt: I think I mention Mafalda to someone in some forum. She is the main character of a very popular comic strip from the 70s and after, very representative of Porteños hyper psychoanalyzed and over thinking nature. After walking around all these treasures, we sat in an organic bar in the very market to grab a bite. Prices were not low for local standards, just slightly above average, and the food was delicious. I ate a portobello cream soup and a spinach and cheese quiche. Including my water, my check was $AR 590 (U$S 6 at official rate/3.50 at Blue rate). Some of you like to check prices. As of today, June 30th, the exchange rate is U$S 1 = $AR 98 at official/167 at Blue). Take a look. Yesterday was a shitty day with all the stress triggered by my flight cancelation. But I had had a great day before. Tomy came to my place and we had a long session of pictures, video, and sex. I truly love some of the pictures we made, but I was frustrated at my clumsiness multitasking, which affected my sexual performance. I hope so. The other explanation is that I am just aging and my erection is not reliable at all. The boy is a masturbatory nuke, we had an earth shaking two hours fuck a couple of days before, but this time I was not happy with my performance. As I said, I love the pictures, though. I cannot say the same of the videos we recorded while fucking. I cannot fuck and film, my respect to the independent performers who can do that with mastery. Unfortunately, part of the adjustments I will have to make is cutting my budget on escorts. Tomy is relatively expensive and I will not hire him again as a model, hopefully only as an escort. On the other hand, and surprisingly to me, my rapport with Alan does not stop getting better. I am confident you will se more of him in the next weeks. He asked me for a last photoshoot for tomorrow, no charge, with fuck included as my goodbye. Now, that one is not our last chance and the boy is over excited because I am staying longer and we will be able to work more. THAT BOY!

In order of preference based on the experiences they delivered to me, but all of them were fro excellent to outstanding.

Full report of my two meetings with Alan. This total fun, total bottom, beautiful young man is additionally a fluent English speaker. A must hire if you are in Buenos Aires.

What a weird coincidence. I posted this same poll in gayguides. I just checked it and over there 19 members voted, exactly the same number than here at the moment.

I am vaccinated, and obviously willing to take the risk.

Only for the first 5 days.

I just found something weird. Yesterday, I opened this thread. I just made a joke to @tassojunior that I wanted to edit. So I hit the "edit" button in the post I wanted to edit. This software does not numbered the posts, so to identify it look for the one with the Gateway Hotel animation. Instead of taking me to the editing page where I can work on that specific post, it takes me to a page where all the content in the thread, starting from the survey and my OP and down, show in a raw, without the posters avatars, and without allowing me to edit anything, not even the one individual post I wanted to edit. I am attaching a screenshot. May be is a glitch related to me being the opener of the thread? I am also noticing that the website is running very slow, and some images take a long time to download. Thank you for everything you do!

Oh! Now I understand! 30K Miles! I was making a joke because I thought you had a typo in the tickets' price.

30K each way coach? May I ask what Airline is that?

If you stop by DC hit me up! If I remembered well, I have credits for several drinks and meals from you! 💖

And...? So they are starting to fly. And I do not believe you know. Your first post shows the same disregard for the rest of the world that you are showing now for the minority of posters who are not from USA/Europe.

I have no idea. I have never seen it, I am afraid something is being lost in the translation here. The profiles I am reading are in Spanish. Gracias!

You may be surprised to learn, but Europe and the US are not the entire world.

You have a lot of juicy info about the DR in gayguides.

Some of us are already traveling, but many are waiting for all restrictions to be lifted before packing. If you are the latter, which one will be your first International post pandemic destination? I am aware that we mostly think of cities rather than countries, but the list would have been too long. Wanna take a vote?

Bingo. The second panadería was exactly what I was looking for. So far, I have been there only twice, but I will keep going on, specially during my last days. That croissant right there made the difference. What a delicious, solid, generous portion of buttery pleasure! I can eat most croissants out there in two to three bites. In this case, impossible. My mouth is watering as I am remembering the flavor. I also checked another item out of my To Eat List. Fresco y batata, el postre del vigilante. This is a very popular and affordable sweet treat. What you see in the picture is the classic version, but there are many variations with different kinds of cheeses and/or additions to the dulce de batata, like chocolate. Yummy. The picture was taken at my sister's home. We had a rainy day and I have been fucking like a bunny, so I have not been out much these last few days. In my few explorations, I keep falling deeper and deeper in love with Palermo. In one corner you have a sample of pure Rio de la Plata tradition: A few meters away, a sample of pure sophisticated, cosmopolitan Buenos Aires: When the rain kept me inside, I wish I would have been fucking all the time. Definitely I am too old for that. I have made big progresses in the book about male prostitution that I pitched before. I enjoyed the section on Latin America, not only because they were addressing our cultures and realities, but also because I was gladly surprised at a few very unusual mentions. A couple of the essays recognize Nestor Perlongher, a man I worked with in the Argentine gay liberation movement back in the 80s. Just recently, when I wrote "Gay is not good" I had mentioned him as one of the significant progressive thinkers of the Latin-American sexual liberation movement, taken by the HIV pandemic. This is the first time I see his contribution recognized, and in an eloquent way, by Anglo-saxo academia. Not only that. Even more unusual, considering the anti Peronist mindset that is mainstream in the First World, in the chapter about Argentina there is a recognition of Eva Perón's contributions to the fight for the rights of sex workers. And I did not know about that! Of course, I did have some fun. I already reported on my meeting with Tomy. He is definitely my favorite and will meet him again in a few days. Today, early on, I met Alan for the second time. I have not yet published a full review of him, but he is my second favorite after Tomy. He is a very unconventional match for me, slightly too girlish. However, his horny voluptuousness captivated and seduce me. I do not know when I will be able to write a full report, so meanwhile I share a few pictures as an advance. If you have been reading my reviews about Ander, Samir, and Tomy, you will know what I am talking about when I mention the sexy walk upstairs. Today, I have a sample for you:

Here you have the full review of my favorite finding in Buenos Aires, so far.

Pass me the link. I do not know who you are. If you have a Youtube channel, you should share.

Perhaps I was too stoned when I posted? The link is wrong. This is actually my review of the show.

Hey @RadioRob! I tried to open a poll in the lounge and the option did not show up for me when I clicked on start a new topic. So I came in here to ask why we do not have polls. However, when I opened this topic, I see the tag for the poll. So my question is why we do not have that feature in the Lounge? Am I stupid and there is something obvious I am not seeing, as this Argentine weed is dynamite? Gracias!

I threw the idea but do not have the time or the talent to work on such a project. We need someone witty, creative, and funny, with disposable time for this unnecessary but entertaining project. Meanwhile, I will try to forget that I am a grand master and not a mother queen.

I had not seen this announcement! In another thread, I said Can we edit the Ranks? For instance, Virgin instead of Newbie; Slut Mother Queen instead of Grand Master, and so on in between?

So this morning I woke up to see a crown on my badge! I inferred I was now a Queen! And thought: However, when I placed the cursor on my adorable Crown, I read "Grand Master". I think it would be fun to devote some time to rename the ranks with a Queer Slutish inspiration.

Uh... in my case that would be imagination over reaching. LOL It was actually funny to be bombed with all those badges like when I was giving my first steps.

I was a newbie again! What a tragedy
