Gay brothels?


Recommended Posts

There is/was one in London called Villa Giani...I've been there but not sure if it made it through the pandemic.

I don't think brothels particularly exist in the US. I do know that there have been some kind of one-offs...like at certain hotels at certain times, but especially after the pandemic I don't know if that kind of thing exists anywhere anymore.

I Hired an Australian of Italian heritage several times in Sydney's best male brothel in 1994. Incredible. But in return trips he no longer worked there. And the brothel didn't last long. It was in a residential area of Sydney so perhaps that was the problem (as well as elsewhere)

There is at least one in every big city in Brazil. They are technically not brothels, they are saunas, but the clients never have sex with each other, only with working guys. The working guys each set their own price and do not work for the sauna’s manager or owner, he is just here to charge an entrance fee and then a separate fee for a room if you want to enjoy privacy with one of the sex worker.

This arrangement is fully legal in Brazil. 

In the biggest ones in Rio and São Paolo, you can chose among 40 working guys on a busy evening.

The guys are also very cheap compared to US prices.

There is a similar arrangement in one sauna in Zurich and another one in Barcelona (also fully legal). 
 

There are 2 gay brothels in Tokyo, and these are actually brothels: you pay the manager, not the guy (this is also fully legal).

Yeah… not going to happen in US - as it is, weed dispensaries, strip clubs and dirty bookstores are already pushed outside the city limits to the wrong side of the tracks. A brothel for the gays would only be granted use permits for properties on the tracks. ON them.

There is one, Knight Call, in Sydney's Kings Cross, and from its web page appears to be operating. I haven't used it.

http://www.knightcall.com.au/location.htm

Oops, I didn't click far enough into the site. It lists its prices and escorts with direct contact details for them but notes it is not operating from the address on the opening page, but will return at new premises when things return to normal.

I'm not aware of any in the US.  Prior to the existence of the internet, there were male brothels in some other countries...and I am speaking here of non-bathhouse type brothels.  I went to them in Berlin, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, and London (Villa Gianni).  I had heard of others operating in Madrid, Sydney, & Cape Town but never went to them personally The internet changed things and sex workers mostly moved on-line to negotiate business arrangements directly with customers thereby eliminating the need for a middleman (the brothel).  A few survived...such as Villa Gianni in London which was still operating up until the pandemic.  

In conclusion, I think male bordellos are a thing from the past and only continue to exist in a few select situations.

Back in the late 90s, in a large Midwestern city, there was a monthly ad in a local gay-newspaper with a phone number in the “escorts” section. When called, the “operator” would simply answer with “good evening, how may I help you.”  After some very carefully worded back-and-forth Q&A, the operator would list a menu of available men with first names only. The caller would select one and set up an appointment. Then the caller would have to hang up and wait for a call back. I assume they were doing some sort of checking. Anyhow, once the call came back through, the client would get a time and address, and you can figure out the rest. Let’s just say I eventually qualified for a frequent-shopper-discount. Those were the days, my friends - never disappointed. They were all college age, obviously in need of financial support.

I’ve been to V Giani in London.  Had fun, but a bit depressing.  They line the guys up behind a one way mirror and you pick.

The ones in Brazil are better.  It’s like being in a bathhouse, except you negotiate a fee.  A lot of them speak limited English.  If the one you like doesn’t speak English, then find another hot guy who does and hire him to translate and have a three-way!

I once went to Why Not? male brothel in Amsterdam. I actually had a nice hunky guy, although the locals wags all said the boys were so skinny and ugly the name should be Why? No one really misses it. 

After parties and after-after parties often devolve into who's got money for more coke for whatever.

I went to a gay brothel in Montreal's gay village back in the 80s before the Internet. Can't remember how I stumbled on it. 

You entered a living room in what was a ground floor apartment essentially and there were about a half dozen young men scantily dressed. I picked one and went down a hallway to what was a bedroom where there was a massage table. 

Both disrobed, we got on the table and there was practically no massage. We got into a 69 and took it from there. I paid the manager, not the escort.

It was closed down the next time I went back.

I went to a female massage parlor like that one with a straight friend in NYC‘s chinatown. The “front” was a small hair salon that had a secret door leading to a labrynth of dimly lit rooms. The anteroom had a large U shaped sectional where all these young girls in flimsy summer clothing sat waiting for their next customers.  I think some were probably not there willingly… sadly.

Yeah, that could well be the case. In the male brothel I visited in Montreal, the young lads (most appeared to be in their 20s) were quite eager and a lot of fun. Of course, I wasn't so bad looking either in my 30s. I do remember my guy swallowed.😈

Swallowing is always a pleasant surprise.

And that’s why we are currently in the Sesta/Fosta (Google it if anyone isn’t aware of it) era. Many brothels translate to “human trafficking” which is just a legal term for pimping to some degree. 
 

Long story short, it’s the reason why Adam 4 Adam no longer offers escort as a pro choice and why RentMen doesn’t allow us to post rates, and markets us as “porn stars”. 
 

The brothel’s of today are online. It’s better for the provider and the client. The closest one can get to that nowadays is likely a bathhouse.

I sort of went to one in NYC without really realizing it many many years ago.  Answered an ad in the back of one of the gay mags to meet a guy, called to make an appointment.  It  was operating out of a hotel, they had several rooms or a suite.  I met a guy who  offered me a guy who was not the one in the ad.  Turns out it was an operation that was a straight brothel but they did have a number of guys for hire but apparently a limited selection at any one time.  The guy was there all day to turn all the tricks came through the door.

Sydney and Melbourne certainly had some, Melbourne has very modern laws about sex workers, they need to be licensed and can work independently.  

Sydney had a handful thru the 80’s and 90’s.  Bretts Boys was the one that stood the test of time, did In calls and out calls, at various times there were other ones on the scene.

More recently there were two, Delivery Boys which went out of business about 5 years ago, maybe more, and Knight Call as previously mentioned.  Been around for many years, but only doing outcalls.  

With the internet and apps it must be difficult for those type of business’s to survive.

Asia has many male brothels that operate as a massage business, once you have chosen your masseur, either from a photo or a line up, you go have your massage, most times it will be a HE - and normally you negotiate the tip during the massage.  you normally pay the masseur for the extras and the business for the massage.

I have experienced these in Bali, Singapore, KL, Hanoi and HCMC , Phenom Penh and Siem Reap, Bangkok.  Some have a line up of a few boys others have 30 to choose from.
