Decriminalized / brothels

[Milo Janus]

If our favorite pasttime was decriminalized and male brothels became the norm, would any of you go?  I ask because I've always loved the idea of male brothel where I can have my pick like smorgasbord! 

[robberbaron4u]

Put me down for a few shares...

[TorontoDrew]

I'd definitely go.

Some years ago, perhaps two or three decades, there was a couple who operated an exclusive  male brothel under the guise of "house party" on an island in the Aegean Sea.

Some steps have been taken in NYC to decriminalize sex work but we need full decriminalization before we can even think about brothels .

There was rumor of one planning to open up in Nevada a few years ago (where it is legal in some counties), but it never happened.

I have attended similar in Australia - and massage places in Asia where you pic a masseur.  One place I went to had 6 guys to choose from another had about 30 - they line up and you stand there and point to one - its hard to make a good informed decision, when compared to rent men or similar.

One place I went to in Vietnam had a menu folder with an a4 picture of the guy - with some vital statistics - but your still picking without being very informed.

I like the concept of going to a venue, where you can relax have a swim or a spa then choose a partner for some pleasure and then relax again before heading out into the world again

there may be some legal-eze wording in the law in rural Nevada counties in which brothels are legal that forbids or highly discourages men-for-men brothels......but I'm sure if it was possibly profitable, it would've been tried in those counties.......

some may remember the one Nevada brothel a few years ago that tried having one male on staff for female customers.......the effort was abandoned within a month, I think.....

[pubic_assistance]

I've been to Spas in Thailand (that double as brothels) that let you meet all their staff before you choose your "masseur".  I have to say it is very nice to have choices but part of me felt gross as I had obviously rejected so many cute young guys who smiled at me in hopes that I might be their next customer. Not so sure I would do that again, although they are probably numb to any feelings of humiliation after a few days of this custom.

I feel much the same unease when I'm researching for my next escort or masseur. I know that often while I am comparing dicks, as we all do, my candidates, who are all  gorgeous, worthy and sincere, are being made aware of my anticipated interest. Eventually, it becomes clear that they have been rejected. Not as bad as the in-his-face humiliation described above, but hurtful none the less. I know they learn to roll with it, but I want to hire them ALL!

Although the only-male brothel closed in Nevada, there are still mostly-female brothels that have men for men. One day I should try it.

Huh?  Did I misread, or did this article contradict itself a few times? Could at least use some copy editing Was it written by some form of Artificial [Limited] Intelligence?

Speaking of brothels - Next month I'll be traveling in Europe and plan to visit Boys Club 21 in Amsterdam and Villa Giani in London.  Both are brothels and I'll write a full report here when I return

yes of course. though sadly i can't see it being decriminalised in the USA anytime soon.  I'm surprised that one of the blue states hasn't decriminlised it 

On the contrary my friend.  Nevada has legalized brothels in our red counties.  Active legal prostitutes have served in the state legislature as red representatives.  Unfortunately as our state turned from red to blue, the crackdown on prostitution has increased and the laws are becoming more restrictive.

It has been closed a while, although I admit I haven’t been to Amsterdam since before the pandemic. 

[Thomas_Belgium]

In New Zealand and Belgium brothels are legal, though I don't know any male brothels in New Zealand or Belgium.

Google Maps has reviews as recently as 4 and 6 months ago.  I plan on visiting Amsterdam for my first time in August, and was hoping to patronize it.

His bio statement itself is an example of awkward writing and structure:

Being able to share my experiences while remaining true to my LGBTQ identity excites me.

Their website lists dates from this past October, and Google Maps have reviews from this past summer.

I feel the biggest issue for failure is the pure laziness of gay men to go more than 3 blocks down the road for sex. A rural county some 50-100 miles from vegas? Hah!

I've seen straight men fly across the country and even around the world for a pussy. I've had gay men when I was at my absolute physical best in my early 30's,  living in chicago say "well your 20 minutes from my place in the city. That's a little too far for me. I think I'll pass". Geez!

For me I'd get the heeby jeebies picking from a line up of hot poor souls like they were cattle going to slaughter at a sex house. Not to mention thinking of how many other were slobbering all over them that day and passing to them god knows what. 

Now something along the line of Stella's in nyc years ago... count me in! Looking at gorgeous guys sitting along the outer walls waiting to get spoken to. Bring the hot stud to the bar. Talk to him. Buy him a drink and play pool before setting up a date? Perfection. I'm afraid the internet has all but ruined that from ever happening again.
