Best African country for boys?

But as we learned with Epstein, powerful people get a thrill over crossing the line of legal.

staying in a 4-star hotel hardly qualifies anyone as rich.  equating a billionaire like Epstein to a middle class Western tourist who thinks they’re relatively rich in a poor African country doesn’t make sense.  Thats exactly the mindset that gets people in serious trouble abroad - thinking the local laws or customs don’t apply. 

the second delusion is typically the tourist thinks nobody knows what they’re doing, when it’s obvious to all and the locals have seen it dozens of times before

fyi - the seriously rich aren’t going to Africa for sex-tourism

You clearly missed the point I was making.

The takeaway is that rich people all like a little "naughty-naughty" so if you're staying at a four star or above, the service people are accustomed to finding fun for their customers that may be outside the realm of strictly legal

the point was “rich” people can get away w things in countries where it’s illegal - not just prostitution, but homosexuality in general.  then there was an Epstein reference 

yeah, billionaires can basically do whatever they want.  average punters in a 4-star hotel, maybe if they’re lucky & nothing goes wrong.  they can also be setup for extortion & worse - because any bargaining power is lost when you run into trouble.

i get people on these forums are fantasizing about things they’ll never do. and some like the danger/risk of the fantasy.  and then there are isolated  & dated anecdotes creating false impressions about work arounds. Morocco as one example has changed dramatically in the last few years - how it is now is not as you have portrayed it.

its a typical American tourist mentality to think money will get you want you want in any situation & when trouble arises it will get you out. also - that somehow the local laws will not be applied to Americans….its cultural arrogance & entitlement, exactly the thing the bad guys prey upon. while money may get you out in the end - the actual experience may be very different & very unpleasant.

hiring providers always carry’s some risk - looking for it in countries where both prostitution & homosexuality is illegal is not wise.  and, contrary to the magical thinking - everyone knows exactly what you’re doing.  Older single white dude with a much younger local - not exactly a secret.

I think it's because I just came back from Brazil and "boy" is the second most common euphemism for a male prostitute there. The most common being "garoto de programa", but I didn't think that to be widely understood. I have seen the word "boy" used that way in many forums, Spain, Portugal, US, all over really. So it was no reference to age at all. 

To me an escort is a professional with an amount of class, and typically high prices, pretty faces and gymmed up bodies, often gay and frequent visitors to the hottest party events. That's the total opposite of what I look for, I like guys who are a bit more real, masculine, less cultivated and even less professional if you like, guys with a day job and maybe kids, who want some extra fun and money on the side. If they are young, that's cool, as long as they are manly, but my preference is guys 30-40 years old. 

Well, this is a US-based site and you put it at risk when you headline something with 'boy'

Correct.

Thats why I recommend the help of a well known professional guide who will keep you out if trouble, when navigating Africa.

When the O.P. mentioned "boys" I assumed he meant young guys and NOT under-age guys. I give people the benefit of the doubt that their intentions are not immoral.

I have worked professionally in the Gambia and Senegal.  There is a thriving market for northern European women who come to beach resorts and hire local men for "companionship" during the stay. The men will often maintain the relationship after the women have returned to Germany, Sweden, etc. ("since you have been here, my mother requires an operation that we cannot afford..." etc.).

I have never tried to inquire whether these kinds of arrangements exist for men who are looking for men, but would be curious if others have.

Though others may benefit from this thread, it looks like we thoroughly pissed off the original poster five weeks ago (may not be a bad thing). Hasn't been seen since.  Smug use of 'boy' (at least he didn't use 'boi') and belittling of African health concerns is not a good 'look'.  

[SouthOfTheBorder]

while the African countries offer much in terms of general tourism - they’re not known for being destinations for gay sex-tourism.  Morocco was many years ago, but its completely changed now.  
sure, you can still go & risk arrest/harassment/extortion/imprisonment if that’s your thing 

you have to wonder why some want to choose the more difficult and/or dangerous options when there are other places welcoming & set-up for this kind of thing.  Brazil & Thailand come to mind.

It is the mystery of life.  I wonder the same thing when I see a young, attractive man choosing to be homeless.  Life would be so much easier if he were to get an entry level job and live with a roommate.  It's queer how people make life harder on themselves to enjoy the "easy" life.

Your comment makes it clear you have not spent time with those that are homeless. I have spent a great deal of time volunteering and the “choices” available to the homeless isnt as many as what you seem to believe.  That includes entry level jobs (i think that is what you meant to say)
 

Getting back to the topic at hand - the path less traveled may not be for you, but it may be perfectly suited for someone else.

My first time in Morrocco I hired a professional guide from the Mamounia Hotel where we were staying. Initially we just wanted him to get us to the best sites and some insight to avoiding scams. He was also instrumental in keeping all the trinket sellers away from us when we'd walk through the souk and got us into some incredible private restaurants that were off the regular tourist route. We asked him to join us for dinner one evening and he was talking about how he always works with Dolce and Gabbana when they are in town. And how he always gets them "anything and everything" they could want. So without trying to get him to divulge in exactly what his clients were up to we simply said that sounds amazing. We'd love to see some more of your secret locations. So he took us to a beautiful lounge where there were a lot of beautiful young men serving drinks who were available to take back to one of the small rooms upstairs from the lounge. That guide was worth every penny.  We got to see a whole underground economy of Marrakech.

I’m not going to lie but this sounds eerily similar to the stuff that former Abercrombie CEO, and current nasty creep, Mike Jeffries, was doing when he used to book the Mamounia Hotel for private events. Not surprised that this is something that goes on there, wouldn’t be surprised if the King of Morroco who is long rumored to be gay, has some connection to this underworld scene in Marrakech. I’m down for hiring escorts I just don’t like that whole sex slave vibe that you get when hiring in countries like Morocco or Thailand.

Although both countries have had a history of abuse among young providers I wouldn't assume the whole scene is filled with sex slavery. Particularly Thailand where homosexuality is very open. In Morocco, the pimps are providing a degree of discretion to the young provider as well as the client in a country that publicly condemns homosexuality. So I wouldn't assume the providers are frequently doing anything against their will simply becasue there's a handler involved in the transactions..

I just wanted to clarify that Marrakech is different from the rest of Morocco . The laws might be the same but the culture is unique to itself and has been for many decades . Being discreet is a must because it is a Muslim country but at the same time a lot of local guys of any age know that gay tourism exists and they can make money or start friendships with foreigners . If anyone has a local guide info to share DM me.  The one I had retired . Thank you .
