Just back from Spain -
Barcelona
The Black Room at City Hall (pics attached)- Sundays 12:30am-6am.  Has strippers that dance hard on the go go boxes on the dance floor and both public and private play spaces upstairs.  You can get some sort of arrangement with dancers.
Imperial - private membership dance/sex club - some nights had go-gos you could make arrangements to take into the basement labyrinth 
Arena - Nightclub with go-gos and a previously a dark room.  The club now lets 16(?) yr olds in and no longer has the dark room open.  There are still stripper-go-gos but the additional fun areas are gone for now at least. 
Sauna Thermas - While not a strip club or club with strippers, this is the closest thing to a gay brothel.  It is a sauna with anywhere from 10-25 rent boys working at a time.  When you check in, the door guy will ensure you know it's not a regular sauna.  It's busy 4pm and starts dying out around 8pm.  Full bar, food, free rooms, sauna, steam room and showers.  Went multiple times due to the variety of guys available each day.  Time for the guy $50 EUR for 30 min.  Some do massage as well.  Some grade A quality men.
Cruise Mountain/Parc Montjuic - Still crazy busy all times of the day, especially at night.  You could tell there's some trade going on with certain good looking college guys and older gentlemen. Still tends to be in the trails all around the Museum of Archaeology 
Sitges
Boys Bar Sitges - Had a strip show in which the stripper was hard and showing it as well as many different audience partipation gags.  He did say we works the sauna in town as well.
XXL - had dancers and could tell there were cubicles, but it was overcrowded due to bear week, so I couldn't figure out much more.

I know, such a shame! I was watching old STOCKBar videos from 2009 and 2016, and they were so hot and the guys were amazing, guys that you really want to pay to touch.
You won't find guys like these anymore

. First, I didn't see any guys walking around trying to get a dance. It's like they gave up. And the ones dancing on stage? I'll be nice and say they're not my type at all. 
And I am the type who has at least two or three dancers. Thankfully, Campus was good, not the best I've seen it, but it was good. I saw Fabio and Miguel at Campus. 
Even Taboo was better than STOCK, 🫣
 
 
 
 

yes, remember when STOCK bar was LIT -- you couldn't look around fast enough to see all the ripped hot muscle studs in the place - and filled with customers dropping bills to see them drop their pants.

I was in Montreal for the Labor Day weekend. Not only is the Stock Bar out of talent, but it was packed with women from bachelorette parties, I mean, wall to wall. There were no hot guys; they were average at best. They didn't walk around; only a few of them danced on the main stage, and I never saw them again.
Friday, I went back to Stock for a few drinks, but I didn't see anyone working the room. After about 15 minutes, I saw this non-binary person dancing on the pole, so I left immediately.
On Friday and Saturday, the campus was packed with dancers and customers. I had a few dances, but each time we had to wait. The booths were full, so in the end... I decided to spend all my money on Zayne, the blond guy with no tattoos. Sometimes he goes by Zane. He's just so perfect: beautiful and such a nice guy. He was so busy that he didn't even get halfway out of the lap dance area before someone grabbed him and pulled him back in.  I don't know how many of you follow LPSG, but I found out that he (Zayne) did both straight and gay porn for a while, so it was pretty hot to dance with him.

I stopped going to NYC Adonis parties  after such a disappointment line up. And most of them  were pushy and asked for more money than they initially offered. In the other i find the Montreal dancers such hot sweethearts , specially Campus

We were there last Thursday thru Sunday and agree Campus was great.  Very crowded Friday & Saturday with lots of dancers.  Sunday not as crowded but still a good number of dancers and very attractive.  Maybe a little  beefier than my ideal.  Fabio was great in private as was Raymond.
Campus was so good we didn't even think about Stock or Taboo. Although back in the day Taboo was my favoriite they don't seem to able generate much anymore.
To answer my own question above about the elevator.  My husband would take the stairs and ask the busboy to bring me up.  They were absoutlely great about it.  Always with a smile and made me feel comfortable.
Highly recommend Campus.  Get there while there is some summer left.
 

Thursday was great.  I acually preferred it to Friday and Saturday which tended to be too crowded and you really had to get there around 9:30 to find a seat.  Maybe a few fewer dancers on Thursday but not noticeable.  You should have a great time.

I fell in love with this Colombian boy. Wow! Sorry if it's a bit shaky and short, but I didn't want to be thrown out. I'll give more details later. The other three guys, who were dancers, weren't anything exceptional; all three were too hairy for my taste. The show started at midnight, so it was hard for me to stay up, but the dancer was worth it. There was no back room or anything like that

I volunteer! 😎

Thanks. Guys. 
the prices are really good so I snatched 
@londonfunlad it looks like Jasper is back. He’s a bit inconsistent, coming and going. I’m planning to go for Labor weekend, so maybe you’ll find out first? I’m more of a Campus  guy. Also, the latest videos from Stock don’t seem to align with my taste, as there are some female guys doing the pole.  That happens in Taboo too , where used to be those skater boys type of twinks but now thru have femme guys in their line up  what an awful trend 😕

go to MONTREAL...

- This is long so I’ve added headings to let you skip the parts that are boring.
Aknowledgments
I hope this is helpful for someone contemplating their first trip to Brazil. This is my way of giving back to the many people on here who helped me with their generous advice in the various postings. Thanks.
Please forgive the ramblings and injudicious assumptions of a neophyte and be kind in your comments.
Context
After 41 years I’m a widower trying to distract myself from the realities of living alone. I’m also a bit of a sex fiend so … what better distraction. I’m still in good shape for my age. About the same weight as when I was 25. Yes this was a trip to see the largest Pride Parade in the world but it was really a sex vacation - and I had a lot of it - in just five days!
The Trip
This was fast. I have two kids (cats) that I can’t leave for more than a week, so that limits my vacation. I like it short and intense anyway. 10h direct Toronto to SP overnight. Four days in SP. Morning flight to Rio. 24 hrs in Rio. Afternoon flight back to SP, change airports and overnight back to Toronto.
The Pride Parade
Yes it was spectacular. Worth seeing once. I’m glad I chose to stay where I did. Probably the only hotel with rooms overlooking Paulista. I could see the crowd without having to be in it. The room was overpriced but as a first timer it was safe, gringo friendly and couldn’t be better located. Next time there are really nice upscale (but cheap) AirBNBs in Consolação.
Safety
This issue has been done to death so I just add my brief experience. I have some tolerance for sketchy neighbourhoods but I’m fairly prudent (Toronto: the gay neighbourhood can be rough at night. Our homeless are often severely drug damaged and wild. LA: my introduction to the city in 1989 was driving in from LAX and meeting a fully armed take down in front of the old Spagos’ in West Hollywood. I was maintaining  a fibreoptic-switch at USC during the Rodney King riots. Amsterdam: in the 90’s I’d regularly cross Vondel park in the early hours). SP: I kept to Paulista, Consolação, Bella Vista, and a little Jardim. Mostly during the day although I often walked back from Lagoa in the evening. I didn’t have any safety concerns at all. Once (because I got my directions wrong) I ended up looking for an address in Republica in a very sketchy neighbourhood. NOT advised. I was in a more upscale part of Republica later (Aurora) but … if you must Uber in and out. Chili Pepper - just Uber in and out (hide your phone - it’s not difficult - I’d never go anywhere without it).
Rio: I think in planning I swapped hotels four times looking for a place for just one night - mostly over safety concerns. In the end I was right next to Copacabana Palace ( a place I would never stay at). The place I stayed was already to gringo overlord infested for my liking but as a first visit… I Ubered to Club 117 on the Tuesday night and on the Wednesday morning I walked the Copacabana and Ipanema beaches walking back one street in. At that time in the morning, if prudent, it appeared reasonably safe. There’s a lot more homeless here than in SP. Ipanema is quiet - very residential. Copacabana is all hotels, tourists and tourist hustle.
São Paulo: Espaço Lagoa
Wow! Kid in a candy store! And I was popping them like candies (or they were popping me). The numbers, the size, the girth - just amazing. The thing was, it wasn’t just their physical attributes, their beauty (omg Brazilian men are stunning) or the number of them but also their smiles and friendliness. I know it’s a business and they’re good at their jobs but I felt these guys were especially good at the “customer relations” side. They wanted you back; they wanted to build a relationship. I came back every day for four days and they were there hugging me. And part of that of course is that I’m a generous tipper. This is a very tough life and I can’t help it. I’m sure the news travelled (every day their price went up). The last day I only had time for three. They were all fabulous. They were beautiful and beautifully endowed. They performed with real passion, energy and aggression - really draining themselves. They may be good actors but they made it seem like the real thing to me. It was fun.
São Paulo: Chili Pepper
This was on the Sunday just after the Pride Parade. I probably got there too early although it was quite busy. Probably one of the nicest and largest saunas I’ve ever been in (maybe Hollywood Spa in LA or Thermos in Amsterdam). The layout sucks. All the rooms are at the back with next to zero traffic. Almost everyone (a predominantly Millennial and younger crowd) were concentrated in the 2nd floor dark area humping like rabbits. I scored two reasonable hits. In the end I’m not sure it’s a place for me.
Rio: Club 117
I went on a Tuesday, too early because I had a later appointment. Rooms were free. I really didn’t see enough to pass judgement. The sex I had was very good. Physically, technically excellent. It was however a bit robotic. There was a sense of trying to always encourage the extra fee, to maximize the revenue now without any interest that we might meet again. This is what I call the “tourist hustle” and It’s what Rio is all about. There’s little “client relationship” and it’s all about making as much now as possible. Maybe I’m being too harsh. I’ll see next time. 
RM & Garotocomlocal
There’s little of what’s available in Brazil on RM. A few of the upscale creators with northern links (Timtales) Good luck in trying to get a response from them. For most providers I think the subscription fees would be a killer. Grorocomlocal.com.br has 1028 providers listed for São Paulo and 458 for Rio de Janeiro. There is some form of certification and subscription but I’m not sure how much or how good it is. I don’t trust it that much - it’s a step up from BackPages but maybe not that much. I when to Brazil with the intent of hiring just like RM since I had no experience of places like Lagoa. I had a Brasilian number and communicated in Portuguese through WhatsApp. I put out requests to twelve providers. Seven never responded. Two asked for pictures (I sent my RM link). They ghosted me. I hired the remaining 3 with one ripping me off. In the end Lagoa is better and safer.
São Paulo vs Rio
- Caveat: I don’t go out walking at night so judge accordingly
So … I like big cities. I live in Canada’s mini-manhattan (haha). And SP is Manhattan writ large. I stuck to Paulista, Consolação, Bella Vista and a little bit of Jardim. All very walkable - provided you don’t mind hills. That took me by surprise. I knew the areas quite well from studying the maps except I didn’t understand there were so many damn hills! It’s like San Francisco. In fact there’s a real feel of that in Jardim. Other parts feel like LA. There’s a funkiness about the restaurants and bars in Consolação (the gayborhood) that isn’t either. The people are friendly but don’t expect a lot of English. Yes there are probably a lot of tourists there but it’s so damn big it doesn’t influence the city at all. Security is everywhere. It must be the biggest industry in Brasil. Even the smallest retailer ha a security guard. Military Police cars are cruising along Paulista every two minutes. Not so much beyond, however.
Rio is tourists. Copacabana is wall to wall hotels on one side and tourists stalls on the other. As a result English is more common although not really anymore common among the gorotos. Ipanema is much more residential with only  a few hotels. The condos are immaculately kept and all hermetically sealed behind secure walls and cameras. Being there, close to boteco Belmonte, would be ideal. I left feeling like I should have stayed longer and seen more. I still feel that way but I feel like it’s likely to be one and done. I don’t see it as a regular destination. I’m intrigued by Salvador. As my old friend Nelson Freire used to say “o tempo dirá” - time will tell.

Things To Look Out For
* Be careful as a pedestrian in SP and Rio. The crossings aren’t well indicated and where they are just because you have a green light doesn’t mean the cars will give you right of way. Stay alert!
* ATMs appeared to be more aggressively scalping you than I remember in Europe. Their exchange rate is ridiculously low and they tack on a hefty fee if you refuse and use your bank’s. Try and take cash with you. (I did but I got greedy and needed more. In some situations, however, greed was good).
* I didn’t get to explore much in Rio but I never came across an ATM or a bank (security?). Thankfully there was an ATM in my hotel. In SP (of course I was staying on Paulista) they were everywhere.
* Generally food is not spectacular. It’s like one big Denny’s. It’s serviceable. There are plenty of Michelin starred restaurants to try but I’m not good at eating alone in a restaurant and without the language …
* Carry a power bank! The last thing you want is to be stuck with a phone running out of charge. It’s your life line (Uber is your friend).
* They were starting to install contactless bank payment at the metro Consolação. Soon all major cities will have this so no need for specific metro passes.
Things I Would Change
* Spend more time in Rio. The place is magical and despite the limitations (see above) there’s a lot of good sex to be had. You can be prudent without being paranoid.
* Never try to change airports in SP in one day. Leave yourself room if you have to do it. It’s too nerve racking.
* Learn at least rudimentary Portuguese. I had tried but .. Google Translate only takes you so far. It’s tough to use when you get a WhatsApp from one provider while getting fucked by another.
 

Besides Friends Bar, is there one called Hombre that is not on Roosevelt Avenue but on 37th Avenue? I like it there. I wish they had earlier shows and lap dance rooms—maybe one day. What I like is that it attracts a different type of Latino crowd, with fewer Puerto Rican and Dominican guys and more Central and South Americans. The Colombian guys especially stood out. I gave one of them Tim's contact information so he could dance at the Adonis parties. I hope everything goes well and he can dance this Saturday. Unfortunately, I am on a break after my knee surgery so i stopped going to the Queens bars and I wont be attending this weekend's Adonis party 
i am trying to get a fast recovery on time for my Brazil trip. I am even sacrificing Montreal.    This year will be the first year since the pandemic that I won't go to Montreal in the summer. 
 
Home
WWW.HOMBRESLOUNGE.COM Hombres has a more Manhattan vibe than the other gay bars on the Jackson Heights Strip. Hombres is something of a destination for Long Islanders and Connecticut G.  

I’m in a Queens bar.  to see my Colombian boy , but he is dancing at another bar with the subbtle name: Hombre. It’s my first time at this place. There’s one boy who just started dancing now, but my friend hasn’t arrived yet. This bar doesn’t seem to have a back room, so I’ll wait all night to see him. There are not naked dancers, but they have tiny thongs. Oh boy, I feel like such a horny old man. 🤣
So far they have allowed me touch  everything, I do it discreetly;  I don't see another client holding a dancer. Everyone just tip and play with the guys while they dancing. 
BTW. They dance on the bar

I fell in love with this Colombian boy. Wow! Sorry if it's a bit shaky and short, but I didn't want to be thrown out. I'll give more details later. The other three guys, who were dancers, weren't anything exceptional; all three were too hairy for my taste.
