I haven't had a dance with Pepe since he was known as Sacha back in 2012. He's a hunk for sure.

You're not alone Ichabod. 3 friends of mine are there and they were saying the same thing. They dug Adonis saying there were some diamonds in the rough ... as well as just plain rough guys.
 
They said you could barely get a seat Saturday at Taboo it was so busy and there were a half dozen dancers worthy of a private. Weeknights are never going to be a big thing.
 
They're twink fans so they don't do Campus and Stock. Looking forward to my trip in a few weeks. I don't pay much attention to the incessant doom and gloom stuff on here. A loaf of bread isn't 10 cents anymore. Times change. But while strip clubs still exist, it'll be worth a trip.

I was in Montreal for 5 days this week and thought I'd report on my experiences in the strip clubs. I have had a good time at all 4 bars over the years, so I always check them all out.
 
Taboo: I only went to Taboo once and did not stay long; there were only 2 dancers (very nice-looking twinks Marco and Fred), and fewer than 5 customers; it was a rainy Tuesday night, so that may have been the problem. Someone in another thread was asking about the lack of curtains in the private dance cubicles. I did not check it out this trip, but I will say that lack of privacy has never seemed to inhibit the Taboo dancers.
 
Stock: I had a very good private dance on Sunday night with Pepe (as in LePew, he said), a tall muscular Quebecois dancer. He seemed very straight, but he was very friendly in the back room. I also poked my head in to Stock that same rainy Tuesday night, and it was as dead as I have ever seen it. A big group of dancers was gathered around the near end of the bar, and one shouted out "Hey, come back!" as I made my escape.
 
Campus: I stopped in to Campus twice (Monday and Tuesday - I tried all 4 clubs that night), and it was pretty low energy both times. On Monday there were long breaks between dancers on stage; I stayed for one drink and none of the dancers ever approached me. On Tuesday, the stage shows were more steady, but it was still slow. There was some sort of bad feeling among the dancers, with one guy seeming on the outs with the others; it looked like a fight might break out a few times, but nothing ever happened. Multiple handsome dancers came up and talked to me, and I had a great private with Daniel, a young black/mixed race guy who said he'd only been working there a couple of weeks - muscular, hung, very enthusiastic.
 
Adonis: I have always liked this club more than some posters, and Adonis (now open 7 nights a week - Lux was only open 5 nights) was the clear winner this trip. I went three times, and it was consistently busier and livelier than Stock, Campus, or Taboo. It is true that some of the dancers here (and this has been true when it was JP's and Lux, too) are unhealthy looking and unattractive. There is one dancer who is very overweight and appears to be in his mid-40s, at least; I thought he was a customer at first. But it's also true that I have had some really good private dances here. John (handsome young Asian guy with a very sexy body, great dancer) did a good private dance with me. I also had a good experience with Jimmy, tall brunette with a big cock who used to dance at Taboo; he is very accommodating if you're willing to pay his price. Jonathan, handsome young straight guy with a good body, is friendly in a sort of charmingly gawky way. I am pleased to have Adonis back up and running again. But it is - to my mind - largely unchanged from its previous incarnation; if you did not like Lux, you probably won't like Adonis, either.

Flakes happen to us on every single trip we make. Just this week we had a guy from Prague begin to arrange a meeting. He got right to the end where he books our flights, then complete silence. There is a large group of "clients" who will never become clients. But, we won't know that until they actually flake. Therefore, we take precautions to protect our investment of time and energy. First, we never get into a photo/video sharing frenzy. If they want that kind of interaction, we ask for payment. We've found the constant interaction with unending exchanges just prolongs the inevitable. It also is a way to weed out the fakers. Second, before we go anywhere at all, we request a deposit of at least 20%. Sometimes the flights themselves count as commitment and we will let that suffice. However, when a client isn't willing to put money into it up front, 99% of the time they will go silent.
 
Therefore, it is up to us as providers to count flakes as a business loss and move on when it happens. We know they exist and it is our fault if we get stuck. Outing them publicly would only serve to damage our credibility and make us seem vindictive. Neither of which is good for business.

I think Stock is usually closed on Mondays, Penn7, but I see on their website that they'll be open on Memorial Day.

Thanks to Ichabod for such a thorough review. Pepe at Stock is indeed quite something. Huge man in all respects:cool:.

I assume everyone could be poz.

Why in hell should a masseur disclose that?!?!
 
No offense, but the idea of demanding that perpetuates stigmas of those who are positive.... as if someone could catch HIV from being touched.... (that’s so early 1980s)
 
 
However, if the massage goes down a sexual route, one should always behave using sound judgment and personal responsibility, and should treat every encounter in a way that preserves your own health.

"I recognized one from last year whom I had taken back to my Air BnB. He colored his hair blond and apparently "knows" every customer very well. Eww!"
 
This is odd. He had sex with you, which is fine. He has sex with other men, which is disgusting?

Many of which don't require disparaging his intelligence.

This seems like the next step toward eliminating these ads altogether. I logged in to Backpage as though I was going to post an ad, to see what I could find out. There is no way to enter text. The social media field is required, so they have to enter something (hence all the dead links to nowhere). They say you can't post dick pix (although maybe it always said that? I don't know). But it's a real loss to those of us who don't live in a major city with lots of hiring options. Backpage used to be the best venue in placed like Raleigh, but it's almost useless at this point.

It looks like @wklucas is more interested in putting down @Kevin Slater than in debating the advantages and disadvantages of having regular clients.

I spent a week in Santo Domingo a few years ago, and I loved it. I do not speak any Spanish, and that was a bit of a challenge sometimes; but mostly it was fine. Remember that lots of Dominicans travel back and forth to NY, so a fair number of people speak some English. I never felt unsafe walking around, but I am a fairly cautious person and probably avoided anything risky without even thinking about it. I went out to two gay bars while I was there, both fine, neither of them anything special. Dominican men are very handsome and sexy; I was in heaven just looking.
 
You have to leave town to go to the beach, I think. I spent a day at Boca Chica, which is not far from SD, not at all glamorous, and quite cheap - lots of budget hotels aimed at European travelers. Boca Chica is where I experienced the only really bad thing about the trip: endless hawkers walking the beach, constantly trying to sell you something. I got that a little bit in the city, with tour guides and vendors aggressively offering their goods and services. But at Boca Chica it was nonstop, including many prostitutes (only women, unfortunately). The only way to avoid that is to make arrangements to spend the day at a hotel with an enclosed beach - it does not fend off all the vendors, but cuts down on the traffic a bit.
 
I did not have sex while I was in Santo Domingo, although I was approached a couple of times on the street in SD by guys who were clearly available for the right price. I was staying in a place where it would have been awkward to bring someone back to my room. A week is probably too long to stay there, but I definitely recommend it if you're looking for something a bit more adventurous than the typical resort vacation. There are caves with cave paintings not far outside of town; I would love to get to see them sometime (and I would definitely hire a guide for something like that).
