411 on London and Amsterdam

[Guest LOVEHANDLE27]

My boyfriend and I are going to London and Amsterdam for a much needed R&R in September. Could any of you guys help us as to where we can go for some M2M action? Maybe a massage parlor in London, or gay baths if there are, or shows like the Gaiety or in the Red Light District of Amsterdam featuring hunks gay for pay in glass compartments (men only) like the one we see in the movies? This is both our first time so we wanted it to be good! Please, need all the help we can get. Ideas on where to book the hotel so it's closer to action will help!!!

I was in Amsterdam last summer and was interested to see they have two gay bordellos. Go into any gay bar (they all have rainbow flags hanging out front, and they are all over the old city area) and look for a gay guide pamphlet. They have little maps of the city showing the gay places with ads that you can see where the whorehouses are. The one I went to was I think called BlueBoy or something with Blue, on Spuistrasse (?). The house was on the seedy side, but up one flight of stairs was a small bar area with all the guys hanging around. Some good-looking, some notso, but really some ok guys. A nice-looking hunk named Raoul came right up and introduced himself and started a conversation. When you decide on the guy you want, he tells the bartender he needs a room and you go with him upstairs to a small, rundown little room that is, nevertheless, clean. The escort puts on clean sheets and you're ready to go.

You agree on the price of the guy with him. Going rate is about $75-100, I think, and you pay the bartender for the room, about another $75. The room can be paid by credit card!!

The place is checked regularly by the health authorities, but it's legal so the police don't bother it. Raoul told me their only run-ins with the law have to do with whether the guys are declaring their income.

The other place I didn't go into, but it looked from the outside like it had more chicken/twink types that don't appeal to me.

There are also numerous escort agencies. I figured in a strange city the brothel was the safer bet. You get to see what you'll get, and you're in company of others. It made me feel easier than I would having an escort I'd never heard of come to my hotel.

Enjoy!

Well I'll cover the London portion:

- Villa Gianni is the only game in London for a massage studio, located at 32 Nevern Place /basement flat Earls Court. You get to choose your masseur through 1-way mirror, 80GBP.

- http://www.choirboyz.co.uk is a agency with a daily list of who's available. Expensive @ 200GBP

- http://www.londonlads.co.uk is for freelancers to list their services, rates very.

 

There may be others, so please list fellow boarders!

The main gay entertainment areas are around Soho (central London), Earls Court (west Ldn) and Vauxhall (south Ldn)........tho there are bars and clubs all over the city. If you stay in central/west Ldn, you will be near most places and able to get around pretty easily.

 

For info on clubbing, bars, guys see http://www.dotqueer.com This site also links thru to QC magazine which covers the club scene & has lots of escort ads.

Villa Gianni(as someone else mentioned) ...had the pleasure of working there a year or so ago, nice place, hot variety of different types of guys, something for everyone.

Tons of bathhouses (or Saunas, as the brits like to call them) Chariots has about 5 in the city alone, many many others.

Bars, Old Compton St in Soho, lot's of pubs, ranging from skin head 'workie' types, to pretty boy posing types, to upscale suit types.

Strip clubs, not sure, but I think there is one in Soho.

Best thing to do when you arrive in London, is pick up a copy of QX magazine, and Boyz mag. You can find them in any Adult establishment in Soho. Try Clone Zone on Old Comptons st. (they get them in on thursday, in the back of the main floor under the greeting cards: )

Both Mags have escort listings, as well as club info.

I would also recommend getting a London AtoZ, it's a small book of maps to every street in London. Don't get one of the tourist maps, too much information and too cumbersome. AtoZ books are available at most news agents and bookstores(probably even in the airport) Seriously, I cannot stress how essential this little book is, even cab drivers keep one handy.

Have fun, I always do: )

BTW, fellow Americans, to avoid a snicker, that's pronounced "A to Zed." :7

There's already a plethora of information available at this site along with THE GUIDE (Do a google search.), PASSPORT, and other gay-related publications. Information is easily accessible for both London and Amsterdam. Lastly, do a gayLondon.com and a gayAmsterdam.com. Both sites should be of help!
