Going rates in Istanbul and recommendations?


Erid

Recommended Posts

Will be visiting Istanbul later this year. What is the going rates there right now in 2023? Any recommendations? Looking for top only. I checked out a few guys that caught my attention and wonder if you have any other recommendations. 

RENTMEN.EU

Pornstar Performer & Rentboy in Istanbul, Turkey - Ottomanhunk: Bearded, Hairy Body and Muscle Man .
RENTMEN.EU

Pornstar Performer & Rentboy in Istanbul, Turkey - Fotballer: Top Footballer.
RENTMEN.EU

Pornstar Performer & Rentboy in Istanbul, Turkey - BienEscort: ★ Vers XL Turkish/Lebanese guy in Town. ★

I checked a few guys with rates displayed on RM profiles and it seems ridiculously high for market like Istanbul, around 300 USD, is that the normal going rate there?

Also, are hotels in Istanbul expensive? I remember checking 2 years ago and it seems very reasonable but now it seems like all international chain hotels like Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, the room rate is like $250 plus per night. I just find it kind of usual for a country going through so much economic turmoil and everything else (i.e. dining out) seems relatively inexpensive compared to U.S. and Europe.

Travel anywhere in Europe right now is insanely expensive. 

In general, men advertising on RentMen seem to expect premium US prices. 
You might want to look at other more European based platforms like Hunqz 
Personally, I’d advise against hiring in Turkey. It’s not as liberal as most Westerners think.

Have fun, Istanbul is awesome!

Always wanted to go to Turkey whenever I thought about it but never did. A friend of mine, now long deceased, went in 2002 and had a blast.

I was house sitting his 4 dogs back in Montreal and got a call from VISA. They wanted to know about all the charges that had started appearing on his credit card from Istanbul. I said, oh that's just my friend so I guess he's having a good time.

Rates are prices for American tourists on Rentmen. Of course the guys will try to go high and "give you a bargain" if necessary. They know how to sell rugs and sex isn't so different. Romeo. not Rentmen is where Europeans advertise and there's many in Istanbul on Hunqz/Romeo. The set union rate in Europe now is 150 with the better guys trying for 200. That's a shock since traditionally, at  least in Germanic countries, the rate has always been 100 and 150 was resisted by clients. 200 is high. Istanbul should be less.

Once you set up Romeo on desktop do not give it permission to locate you. Rather choose "search location" and put in Istanbul. Above that you will always have "search ;location".  On a phone you need the Hunqz separate app. 

The few I saw who had a rate just now were mostly 100 or 150. There are also street hustlers at a park in the center who are less but not super safe I hear. I want to go badly as Istanbul is an incredibly beautiful  city.

I had a great time in Istanbul back in 2008. Would love to go back. Lots of hot men. Lots of bisexuality going on. The Sultan used to have a harem of boys and young men at Topkapi Palace They talk about it openly. 

I had an older friend, no longer living, who was pretty well off. In his eighties he fell madly in love with a much younger Turkish man who had a wife and 5 children.  He started spending all his time in Turkey.  Some of his friends were concerned that the Turkish lover might be a fortune hunter.  I don't know how things played out, but I thought having a young Turkish lover who was after your money would be an intersting problem to have.

@nycman is correct with regard to advertisements on rentmen. 

Escorts talk among themselves.  Those escorts who exchange information know that even though rentmen is based in Germany (and hosted in another country), escorts (providers) know that rentmen is a "high-end" place to earn premium dollars from Americans and Europeans.  

Thus his recommendation to try Hunqz is a far better alternative to rentmen.

WWW.HUNQZ.COM

HUNQZ - The top site for Gay, Bi and Trans Escorts, for rent or hire, massage, companionship, or stripping.

Another thing, read the below link and the hostile comments that the new president already gave gays and how gays should be constrained.  That speech from the new president is not a speech that welcomes gays to visit Turkey at this time.

LGBTQ+ travelers must weigh the pros and cons of visiting a nation where the president calls their community "deviants."
