The Rio and Bogata dancers are nude, right?  

in Rio they're sex clubs like Thermas. Just huge with better guys. I don't remember if Theatron is completely nude in it's strip club but in Bogota there are a dozen gay nude "massage parlors", although they hustle customers and do little sex.

What is Sunday evening like at Johnsons?

[AtlantaDude]

I’ve been before, but not recently.    Also would like to know how many dancers they have on Sunday.  

[Jake]

I'll pile on in the sentiment about Fort Lauderdale pricing.  Outside the drink prices at Johnsons, there's little to get excited about anymore.  I'd be bummed if the scene went away so I still try to visit.  But I used to visit Ft Lauderdale 5 or 6 times a year.  It's down now to about once a year.  Back during the Johnny's days, I'd do 3 or 4 dances a night.  I think I've done one dance at LeBoy in 5 years.  If I'm interested in a guy, I'll make an offer to head to my place.  If that's your strategy, go on slower nights like Sunday.  On Friday or Saturdays, usually the hotter guys have plenty of attention and cash.  Ask them what other days they're working.  

I like the vibe at Johnsons. It's much more relaxing.  Comfortable places to sit.  Drink prices are reasonable, especially during happy hour.  It's just that I'm not into the bro gym rats.  Twinks and twunks are my thing and Johnsons tries to accommodate guys like me by having 1 or 2 on the roster, but it's like going to a sushi restaurant when you're craving steak.  LeBoy has more my type of dancer, but LeBoy is as comfortable to sit as a bus station.  Wish they'd redo the entire layout to be more like Johnsons. 

If someone has a Delorean, I'd love to go back to the Johnny's days.  I loved the Wild West nature of the place.  Nobody peeking in curtains.  No fees.  It was dark and seedy and sure LeBoy is prettier inside... but that's not why I go to Ft Lauderdale. 

The other thing that has kept me from visiting often... hotel prices.  Same for Montreal.  When you visit international destinations that have a lot more to do and prices are much more agreeable, you might as well bust the passport out and head to Europe, Brazil, Colombia or Thailand.  All expenses combined (food, accommodations, and "entertainement"), the cost of a trip are the same if not less.

Johnsons has always been about gym bros and BBs types, with very few twinks.  Even Swinging Richards was about those types.  The previous owner was a bodybuilder.  So it's not like they have changed by favoring certain builds more than the others.  And you have LeBoy to go to for your twink types.  Other than perhaps Montreal, I cannot think of another city that has multiple clubs with dancers with the possible exception of Chicago.

yup...I love dark and seedy and (therefore) the old Johnny's.  For me, darkness and seediness are compromised once women are part of the crowd...which is also why old Montreal appealed much more to me than new Montreal

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, has 4 clubs with dancers.

However, the quality and diversity of dancers compared to the other North American cities is lacking.

I think Bogota has Theatron and Gigolo. Not daily though.

Correct. Tried to find what I wrote earlier that would've implied otherwise.  I was just making the point that Johnsons is comfortable and an enjoyable experience.  If you could put the LeBoy roster in Johnsons I'd be a happy dude.  But yes, Johnsons has never been a twink bar and probably never will be.  I doubt any city could support more than one. Montreal has Taboo.  Ft Lauderdale has LeBoy.

Yeah Colombia isn't as much of a strip club spot.  They had one a couple years ago called (I think) Garage?  But in terms of opportunities, Bogota blows the North American cities away.  It's just not in the bar scene like Montreal or Ft Lauderdale where the main function of the bar is dancers/backrooms.  The big thing in Colombia is the love hotel.  You hire a guy online, meet at a love motel and have your fun.  The love motel culture is pretty wild.  I read that it started primarily because so many Colombians live with their family much longer than we do so they needed a place to have their fun.

Theatron is an ENORMOUS megaclub.  It's something to see. But the dancers are easily missed if you're not looking for them.  It's just a giant disco.  

[AtlantaDude]

Re the love motel.   Does the motel have a list and gallery of available guys?  Or do you find your own and book the hotel (much the same as America)?

Probably not as Montreal , but I enjoyed Gigolo and they had shows at midnight and that was very fun. Limited space for privates but still fun.  Dancers also open to have fun outside of the club lol 

It’s a city with potential.

There's one I know of in both Medellin and Bogota that sort of operate that way but generally you're way better off finding some fun online (mileroticos) or on Grindr and you meet there at the love motel.  The selection at the brothel type places is really limited and a little lackluster.  The Bogota one advertises on mileroticos often.  The one in Medellin is a little more underground... look up "Ferchos" or something like that.  I only used them a couple times on trips years ago.  So I don't have a lot of knowledge on them.

Definitely.  Seems like it's money sitting on the table nobody wants to pick up.  I can't imagine the government would try to stop it as they would in North America.

FLL has Johnsons, le Boy and Boardwalk. Swinging Richards closed.

Johnson's has open curtain booths, le Boy has more private booths while Boardwalk is most private.

And therein lies the rub.... to paraphrase Hamlet.

While Johnsons may provide the most chill and comfy environment in Ft. Lauderdale/Wilton Manors, the open curtains totally ruin the lap dance experience.... not to mention the recent increase in the rate from $20 to 25 bucks a lap dance.

I guess my last visit was unusually good then. I know I had been moaning how boring Johnsons had gotten the past couple years. To walk in and find the Blond Argentine, the freshface Italian muscle hunk , a half dozen latin muscle twunks and Malik Delgaty rubbing shoulders was a shock. 

Rio certainly has the two best spots, I recently met a dancer at Theatron in Bogota at Thermas in Barcelona who was top 1%. But the mystery is why Medellin is so hard to crack. All the gay porn stars go there to do collabs for their OF accounts, and it used to have one of the world's best sauna/escort clubs, Club Tobi. Half the guys on Chaterbate and many of the guys on OF are in Medellin. It's a big party city. And yet there's no escort sauna? I'm trying to pick one of the latin cities now but in truth I'd most like to visit Medellin.

Isn't the strip club at Theatron on it's 7th floor? Just met a dancer from there in Barcelona at Thermas. I think it's the world's biggest gay bar. My problem with all the gay massage parlors in Bogota is they charge a lot and deliver almost nothing. Too much hustle.
