411 on Switzerland

[inquirer]

I'm in Geneva currently and will be in Zurich early part of next week. Rentboy, Rentmen, and Men4RentNow all seem to have slim pickings. Indeed, M4RN has no escorts in all of Switzerland. RB has 13. RM has 21.

 

Even Backpage only has two ads in Switzerland (though http://geneve.backpage.com/MenSeekMen/salut-jeune-mec-mignon-trs-sensuelle-et-sexuelle-je-vous-reoit-cher-moi-ou-me-dplace/3293016 looks interesting if anyone knows anything about the guy).

 

Considering how gay-friendly Switzerland is and also considering that prostitution is legal in Switzerland, I'm clearly looking in the wrong places. Are there male brothels in Switzerland? Are there Swiss male escort web sites? Any advice/info would be much appreciated.

 

I am a bottom and prefer well-endowed guys, but other than being a size queen, I'm pretty vanilla. I have a fondness for both bodybuilders and twinks.

I know in Austria there is an agency.

When I was in Switzerland a few years ago, I visited two different bathhouses and had a great time interacting with local guys (non-escorts). One even invited me to his home to spend the night, but unfortunately I was not able to take him up on his offer. I don't remember the names of the places, but I do remember they were listed in the Damron Guide, and if you look at Gaycities.com you can probably find them that way. Good luck and let us know how you make out (pun intended) on your trip.

I agree that planetromeo is more useful for Europe. As well as the escorts based there, Zurich is also a popular destination for escorts from Hungary and the Czech Republic who visit for a few days or a week to "top up" their earnings. The Guestbook on an escort's planetromeo profile needs to be treated with a degree of caution as the escort can delete negative comments and he or his friends can post positive ones anonymously. Nonetheless some of the comments are "signed" with the maker's profile (I've made some myself) which enables the reader to assess whether they are likely to be genuine. As with Tripadvisor one learns to read between the lines.

 

The Paragonya Sauna is in central Zurich, not far from the main rail station and the Altstadt, at Mühlegasse 11. It caters mainly for escorts and clients, or did when I was last there 4 years ago. It's still open and I doubt it's changed its "niche market". You could do a search on this site for Paragonya - I know there's been some posts in the Europe forum. When I was there the usual rate was 100 CHF (Swiss francs) - Switzerland has relatively low inflation but, even so, that might well have changed.

 

Good luck!

Gayromeo's Guestbook has comments and not formal reviews. While it's true that an escort can delete any comment he sees fit, some clients prefer to withhold their profile's name when posting and make an anonymous comment. That way the comment is not linked to the author's profile. When this is done, the regular visitor cannot see who the author is, but the owner of the profile has that option in his toolbox.

Don't assume that all anonymous comments are fake comments made by the escort himself or his friends.

That's a very fair point. Even "signed" comments could be fake. I weigh all comments for plausibility, but am personally more cautious about anonymous ones. Over time, one hopes to develop a "sense", although there's always scope for being wrong, either way. For example, if an escort's profile in English is clearly the result of Google translate, a favourable Guestbook comment in perfect English might well be persuasive, even if anonymous.
