Sorry fir mistakenly putting you in Atlanta. Thought you were located in the city. Still think your tumblr site is a great reference point. I check it out all the time.

skimmed through the saturnalia history lesson, but I like where this thread went :-)

Is it really possible there could be so many beautiful, mesmerizing, male homo sapiens in the world?
 
YES! And thousands more just like them. I am humbled by the rich array of the universe. and soooo aroused.

The question made me curious and I did a quick look at all the ads on Rentmen for Atlanta.
 

There were 42 ads with Incall rates and the average was $211 and median $200. The minimum is $120 and maximum is $300.
 
There were 55 ads with Outcall rates and the average was $235 and median $250. The minimum is $150 and maximum is $300.
 
The average age is 29 (minimum is 18 and maximum is 57) and the median is 27 years old.
 
There wasn't any correlation of rate to age
I didn't grab any other fields on this pass like ethnicity, position, etc., but correlations to these elements may be interesting.

I'm not sure what all of this means; perhaps it's more interesting to watch over time to see if there are trends.
 
(*one outlier observation omitted)

I hope is not too early for a Christmas post?

Chicago has two main gayborhoods: Lake View (a/k/a Boystown) and Andersonville. Both are situated a few blocks from the lakefront. The main drag of Boystown starts at Halsted and Belmont (approx. 4 miles north and a mile west of Downtown) and Andersonville's main strip is Clark Street starting at Foster (approx six miles north and two miles west of Downtown). Both are accessible by the CTA Red Line, with the Belmont stop serving Lake View and the Berwyn stop serving Andersonville.
 
There are two bathhouses left in Chicago: Steamworks in Lake View and Man's Country in Uptown, just north of the Andersonville community. Steamworks is the nicer of the two.

Man's Country:

Lake View has been the center of LGBT life in Chicago since the late 1970's when the scene moved north from Old Town. The last vestige of the Old Town gay scene is the Bijou (a theater and sex club affiliated with Bijou Video) and it is closing on Sept 30. Most of the bars are located on Halsted between Belmont and Addison.
 
Roscoe's (Corner of Halsted and Roscoe) has been around since the mid-1980's. It has several rooms, with the main room having one of the most beautiful antique bars.

Side Track is a video bar down the street (south) from Roscoe's and has also been around for ages.
http://www.sidetrackchicago.com/
 
Cocktail is a relative newcomer (it opened in the 1990's) and is across the street from Roscoe's
http://www.cocktailbarchicago.com/
 
Andersonville is Chicago's second gayborhood. It is about two miles north of Lake View, with Clark Street being its main commercial strip. Although I have never been, friends of mine like @mosphere and Marty's Martini Bar. Marty's is tucked away on a side street off of Clark Street on Balmoral Avenue. @mosphere is not far away and has strippers.

There are two gay bars downtown: Downtown (located in the former Gentry space) at 440 N State Street
http://www.downtownbarandlounge.com/
 
and The Second Story an old-school bar above the Sayat Nova Armenian restaurant at 157 E Ohio St.
 
Both are near the Grand Red Line stop.
 
Big Chicks in Uptown is a very popular bar. I've always found it to be very friendly and a lot of fun. It is located at 5024 Sheridan Rd, a few blocks east of the Argyle Red Line stop.

If you like strip clubs, the granddaddy of them all is The Lucky horseshoe, located at the corner of Belmont and Halsted.
http://luckyhorseshoelounge.com/
 
There are bars that have strippers (such as the afore-mentioned @mosphere)
 
There are many others. Just google "Chicago Gay Bars" and you will see. Many of the bars are located outside of the traditional "gayborhoods" and could present a challenge if using public transit. Boystown is very accessible by the 'L.' Andersonville is a bit of a walk from the 'L,' so Uber or a taxi might be a better bet.
