Istanbul & Tel-Aviv

[bostonnycguy]

Hey guys - I'm planning a January trip to Istanbul for a few days - then on to Israel. Any experience in either Istanbul and/or Tel-Aviv with escorts, saunas, etc., in either city? Thanks in advance for recommendations/advice.

I was in ISTANBUL in September and October where I visited 3 times the Aquarius Sauna.

I'm sure it's not everyones favourite in the city - however it gave me everything I was looking for.

Dark handsome turkish / eastern european young men and studs.

 

They place isn't particularly beautiful - in fact its run down.

The guys working there are very full on offering their services - one guy in his mid 20's just sat next to me in the sauna and let me see his massive dark manhood and balls just hanging over the tiled seat - his body was beautiful so after a few negotiations I had a wonderful time with him.

 

If your looking for a traditional Hamam this isn't the place - best to try FIRUZAGHA further down the hill towards the cruise port.

I live in Israel.

The only city with action is Tel Aviv which has become a great gay destination, but not because of escorts or saunas.

Most of the escorts are straight. Both gay and straight escorts aren't service-oriented. Sessions with them are mechanical and short, conducted in shabby apartments. They charge locals $75 an hour; I don't know what they do when they smell a tourist.

I had a blast at FIRUZAGHA early last year. Can't wait to go back and try Istanbul again.

 

Only concern is the increasing conservative nature of politics there. Is that impacting any of the gay fun you can have?

 

I love Turkish men, so I'm hoping things are mainly unchanged.

Thought I'd bump this post - leaving on 1/19 for Istanbul and Tel Aviv - any recommendations or experiences would be appreciated!
