Area 15 (not 51) is something to try. I've never been personally, but it's on my bucket list. It's about a mile west of the Treasure Island. It's supposed to be a funky, artsy, other-worldly "experience"....kind of like a sci-fi indoor shopping mall with food and odd experiences

Less than one month! I'm saving my hundreds for the providers, and looking forward to seeing the whole group again!

I prefer waxed over shaved

Thanks! Yeah, I've been better than ever once I gave up the nonsense of quarantining and masks. Early in the pandemic I began to suffer health issues from being sedentary and now having regular access to healthy foods and friendships. Once I resumed traveling internationally, hiring providers for massage and other activities, and going to events, I've lost a lot of excess weight and my health has improved dramatically. Still a long ways to go. I'll agree that the pandemic "cure" of prolonged lock downs and mask wearing caused more health damage to me than the times I cought the virus.

I saw him in September 2021. My assessment is very similar: nice guy, very hot, good massage, great stretching, very enjoyable. I saw him twice on my trip to Chicago.

Let's follow the science and the laws from the knowledgeable California leaders. I'll be there, regardless of others' vaccination or health status. Looking forward to a fabulous time!

It is not tax free. I would obey the tax law 😇 and report the income. But I'd also charge much less than $100. I've settled for a 🥩 steak dinner, or taxi🚕 fare home, or a $10 bill 💵 thrown on my ass after he unloads in it 💦 . We've all paid for sex in one way or another, even if it's just buying dinner on the date. Back to the topic, I get checked for STIs every few months. If I test positive I notify my encounters by either giving the local health district their telephone number if I know it, or through a dating app if that's how we met. If it was just a guy I met at a bar or dark alley and didn't get his telephone number, then that person I can't contact. Hence why random hookups have the potential to spread STIs faster than paid providers who can be contacted when exposure is discovered.

I've had sexual encounters with about 1,000 men (rounding to the nearest thousand). Let's say 800 were free and 200 were paid providers. I've had about 5 STIs. Some if not all of those were from the free encounters. I'll let you do the math to figure if STIs from paid providers are a common occurrence.

I'll be there!

In which city is Bar X?

I went to Johnson's twice last week: once on a crowded Saturday and once on a less crowded Tuesday. Saturday was too crowded to be enjoyable for me. Long waits for drinks, and not enough room for dancers to circulate through the crowd between sets. They could easily raise the cover charge on Saturdays to thin out the crowd. There may have been 200 men and 4 women in the audience, but the 4 women got most of the attention from the dancers, which are mostly straight. Tuesday crowds were more my style, but it still didn't seem as much fun as in the past. The club looks great, but the dancers appeared uninterested and were constantly going to the bar to count their tips and exchange bills in front of the customers. It's still a great club and I'm glad it's there for us to enjoy, but the dancers need a little coaching on how to work the room when not in stage. I'll be back next year

I was in LeBoy last Wednesday for Ametuer night. It was fun, but the ametuers made me appreciate the professionals ;). Usually men on this forum complain about the dancers approaching them and asking them for tips. This was not the case with LeBoy. I actually had to approach the dancers, as very few were working the room. Still, it was a fun night and I'll be back on my next Ft Lauderdale visit

I prefer no tattoos or piercings. Is that considered "all-American"?

Anthropology is nice, too. But the one night I was there on my most recent trip, no one was performing on stage. The dancers kept circling around to me and asking for money and private dances. At 69, you can enjoy a drink and watch the dancers perform for a bit and aren't approached as aggressively being asked for money. That makes the atmosphere more enjoyable, resulting in everyone ultimately staying longer and spending more

Dancers get nude at all the clubs in Puerto Vallarta, although only for a brief amount of time. It's not as much nudity compared to the clubs in Montreal, for example. Maybe one out of three dancers will get completely nude for less than a minute during their six minute time on stage.

That's some good news!

My experience was similar, but only about 10 guests the week I went

Will you fuck me? Do you bareback? Can I suck you?

I've decided to postpone Europe until summer 2023, because of the ongoing closures. I've booked a 7 night Rhine River Cruise that has been chartered by Adventure Bears, so all gay men. It's no longer going to Italy, but I appreciate the responses on this thread this far. I plan on flying to Munich. 4 nights in Munich, train to Zurich. 2 nights in Zurich and 2 nights in Lucerne with the tour group. Cruise starts in Basel with stops in Strasbourg, Speyer, Mannheim, Rudesheim, Koblenz, Cochiem, Cologne, Amsterdam. 3 nights in Amsterdam, train to London, 5 nights in London, then fly back to the US. I have some friends in London that will show me around for a day, and I'll reach out to @Jamie21 for his company in London.

I just came back to the US from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I walked-in (no appointment) to a clinic next to the gay bars, paid $28 USD, and had my negative test results in hand within 10 minutes.

I had trouble getting through to my doctor to schedule an appointment for an annual physical. Hold times on the telephone were over 2 hours. So, I wrote the doctor's office a letter requesting an appointment and put in the mail. A few days later I received a telephone call back with an appointment. Sometimes the old ways of communication are best.

I saw 1 new guy from Grindr (visiting from New Zealand $180). 1 new guy from RentMen (visiting from Russia $150). 2 others were regulars I see every year, which are still on Grindr (I paid them the same price I've been paying them for years, $110 and $120). The highest price was for a guy I found last year on RentMen ($250). His price went up, but he's worth it so I saw him twice. My favorite massage parlor is located at: Insurgentes 386, Zona Romántica, Emiliano Zapata, 48380 Puerto Vallarta, Jal., Mexico But I've also had success at a half dozen other "massage amigo" parlors. It's about 50-50 whether they are open to anal or not. It really depends on the massuer, not the establishment Most advertise 1hr massage for $35, and even with great extras I never pay more than $75 All prices in this post are US Dollars

This year I saw a notable increase in prices, and loss of providers. Grindr is cracking down on the word massage or escort in profiles, so look for the 💆‍♂️ icon. I had a massage/fuck almost every day, and I paid $250, $60, $120, $110, $150, $50, $180, $250. Plus one free massage included in the $75 for Men's Naked Tuesday discussed elsewhere in this thread, and I tipped him $20. All prices I gave are in USD, and included happy ending. Most of them included penetration. I did turn down a few who wanted $300. I didn't travel to Mexico to pay US prices.

Amaria was definitely worth the money, and something I will do on every trip going forward. The crowd was older (I was the youngest there), but that means everyone was naked and socializing and didn't stick to themselves. The price is right, because it includes unlimited well drinks and a massage.

For those readers on the fence about going on an all-gay cruise, don't be off-put by the claim of pink leather thongs. In the 3 all-gay cruises I have been on, not once did I grind up against someone in a pink leather thong. A pink jockstrap, yes. But never a thong. Hope to see some of you on next year's cruise! 🛳️🏳️‍🌈👬
