Thanks, sir. I've already left, but my last day there I took the streetcar to Powell's and then walked to both places - it was about 4pm. Burnside is OK, but it got dicey once I got to the side streets. I felt safe enough during the day. BTW, Silverado has a Couch Street address, but it's entrance is on the side street, 6th Avenue. This was confusing to me and the Uber driver - we couldn't find the place. I don't believe "Silverado" appears on the building on the Couch Street side. Maybe I'm wrong... I did go in Stag and had a drink - there were some dancers there. Maybe next time I go to PDX I'll try again. Thanks for your suggestion...

Thanks, Vegas. If I’d been with a group, but I was by myself, and the Uber driver was having a mini-meltdown. Yeah, I’d like to have gone inside….

Sorry to report, but I’m in Portland now and just took an Uber to Silverado and Stag. The area looked awful, and I’m from Detroit. The Uber driver was concerned and told me not to get out of the car- that it was a very bad area. So I didn’t. I’d asked at the hotel the day before about walking to Powell Books nearby but was told to take the tram because the area was bad. Any suggestions for a plain old gay bar in a safer part of town? Damn, I wanted to see naked men so bad. Other parts of town look fine.

Thank you for your insights. Normally, when I visit a new place I like to walk around, but I think I will use Uber or Lyft. Young ruffian groups - LOL, indeed not.

Hello, everyone. I'm going to Portland soon, and I want to visit Silverado and Stag. Portland's getting a lot of attention because of crime, so I'm wanting to inquire if anyone knows about the safety of the area. Thanks for your thoughts.

I met with him for the third time recently. He's fantastic - incredibly kind and gentle. I enjoy our conversations so much - he always has something interesting to say. I wish I had the funds to travel with him and just to spend time with him. I have a hard time believing he's totally straight - I would suspect bi, because, just because. LOL. I do wonder why he quit porn, but he said bottoming was painful for him. One last thing - he's always stayed in perfectly acceptable motels - Sheraton, Marriott.

Met with him again recently. I highly recommend him. I had a great time. He's so sweet and easy to talk to. And his body - I've never seen bigger muscles. A ten out of ten. I would submit a glowing review on RentMen, but now you have to be a premium member to submit reviews.

Thanks for the info. That's too bad. 😞

Are there any gay (or gay-friendly) male strip clubs in the greater Detroit area?

I met him last week. I'd highly recommend him. Pictures are accurate. Incredibly nice person.

Excellent!! He must have just renewed. Thank you.

Does anyone know if he's retired? His profile is no longer active. He's such a delight.

He was a blonde porn actor who made numerous videos for Next Door Studios and then suddenly disappeared. I "just" discovered him. Thanks.

I think I know you who are referring to. Do you think it's OK to give his name? I was there a while back, and this one guy who fits your description was all over me, telling me what wonderful things he wanted to do with me if I'd have a VIP dance with him. When I turned him down, he got rather angry and stormed off.

Josh, thanks for the good advice. You've brought up some concerns I hadn't even considered. I'm convinced: it's best to insist on meeting in the bar or lobby. Also, good idea about not divulging the name of the hotel too early. I would never have considered the possibility of the police setting up a sting operation in the client's hotel. It's good to know I wasn't just being a nervous Nellie, and that a lot of other guys have the same concerns.
