Hey everyone,

I’ll be in Amsterdam from May 28–30 and I’m hoping to connect with someone who knows the local gay scene or is also visiting around that time.

I’d love to check out some fun spots ..bars, clubs, maybe even a sauna and just have a good time exploring the city in a relaxed, friendly way. Always more fun with good company than going solo 🫶

So I’m 21 and I decided to take a solo trip to Vallarta in June but I’m unsure of what thre is to do and what to explore there besides the beaches. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to go for day and night life. Thanks

Hey guys, my boyfriend and I (both early 30s) are trying to plan a 2 week trip somewhere in europe for late july and we're kinda stuck.

We want somewhere with really clear water, turquoise coves, swimming, renting a small boat and exploring hidden beaches on our own.
we also want to be around other gay people. gay nude beaches are a big plus. and we'd love somewhere with stuff to do in the evenings too, bars, parties, places to meet people

Not looking for anything too commercial or resort-y, not places packed with families, not beach clubs charging 40 euros for a sunbed. just somewhere that feels real and social and fun.

We're already doing greece in june (athens + paros) so ideally somewhere different.
We're open to anywhere in southern europe. don't want to spend a fortune but not trying to do it on a shoestring either. would love to hear from anyone who's actually been to places like this recently. thanks!!

It’s no longer possible to buy a foreign eSIM that works in Kosovo.

I only have 1 day in the country but will need Internet data. Any ideas on how to (easily) get some kind of connection? Any free city-wide WiFi in Pristina?

Thinking of visiting vault139 or somewhere like that soon on a Sunday. I am a (normally) straight guy who is looking to get sucked by anyone. Preferably with many watching. I don't want to fuck anyone etc and I wondered if somewhere like vault139 would be a good place to go for a quick exhibitionist hit for me.

On "underwear" days, am I allowed to get completely naked in the bar or public areas? Am I allowed to stroke my cock etc? Hoping to pop in, dump my load in a few throats while casually having a drink and go :)

I want to travel somewhere in Europe with a big gay scene, great architecture and nightlife. I would be looking to fly in June, July, or August. I see that prices online are about $1200 even on lower cost carriers from Philly to Barcelona near July 4th or even NYC to Barcelona. Any cheap places I can go from Philly or NYC? I am flexible on destination and timing. I like the idea of London or Berlin or Amsterdam or Barcelona. My home base is Philly suburbs.

for me is Thailand and Spain

I've been striking out pretty hard with my recent Euro travels, and this has included some gay hot spots such as Amsterdam, Malaga, and Gran Canaria. Two bites, both instances just felt like I was just horny and more willing to settle.

Apps are a hot mess, too many bots and Grindr is a trashfire of ads. The issue I've been having with gay bars is I'm usually seeing groups/friends, which on top of gay bars almost always playing very loud music - just makes the approach very hard. I'm not even just talking hookups - though that is in play - but, just talking with people is difficult to inject into like this. Finally, add in not really knowing enough non-English language to have a conversation.

On top of this, I'm not sure how much anti-American sentiment is going to exist in gay circles abroad.

I haven't tried a bath house yet and would really like to refrain if I can. I would just like to try to meet people at gay bars and maybe something can come of it.

My partner and I are already planning next year’s Spring break. We are thinking of trying an all inclusive. I’ve never stayed at one. He has. We do know we want one that is adults only. We don’t care if it is 100% gay or not. Just has to be gay friendly. Any suggestions?

Out of the 2, which place has the best gay bars, cruising clubs and Gay bathhouses/saunas? When is the Best time to go besides Pride?

Hey. Anyone based in Skopje/Pristina? Heading there later in the year.

Would be nice to catch up with someone for a dinner/drink! Not looking my ass pounded haha

Any advice on items to get for a small group of friends traveling together? I want something that shows we're part of the same friend group, but that we can customize to each person. There are 4 of us who plan to travel together. The plan right now is to go on a cruise and then hang around the city for a bit. We're still planning destinations: Mexico/San Diego or Caribbean/Miami. I want something other than t-shirts. Luggage tags or stickers? Other product ideas? Design ideas? Thanks.

I’m from California and am looking for recommendations, my friend who is traveling with me is an also larger bearish man and I want him to feel comfortable. He loves smaller guys where as I tend to go for bears like him…. We are both in our 60’s and are looking for a “full service” spa experience and also wanting to check out the bars and the gay nightlife…. Any suggestions?

My best friend and I will be traveling to these cities soon, and we're both women in our early 20s. On a bit of a student budget, but we're trying to be slightly more open with our day-to-day spending on this trip.

We're looking for recommendations for spots to check out and explore the nightlife! We're staying a bit north of central Dublin, then those 3 spots in Greece. We love dancing, good music, and meeting a lot of new and interesting people (bonus points if the prices aren't crazy). Both of us are the type to want to go out somewhere, somehow on any night of the week on vacation. We're happy to hear any info or advice anyone would like to share! Thanks in advance (:

I am planning on visiting Toyo in May I would like to check out a gay bathhouse I have heard that their bathhouse are very specific when it comes to body size and age is that so? If it is so which one will you recommend for a hairy, regular body size, black older guy. Not looking for a hookup if one happens good just looking for a place to chill in the slow evening.

Hi everyone! I am hoping to visit Maspalomas this year and experience pride there. For context, I am a 26 year old gay guy from the UK and will be travelling solo.

I’m debating whether to go in a few weeks time for May pride or wait until winter pride in November. Both seem large events, both have great weather. I read winter pride leans more pop vs May’s circuit vibe - is this true? I do prefer pop music but perhaps there’s something to be said for trying something new.

I know it is incredibly subjective, but I was wondering if anyone here had been and could give me insight into how they differ? Vibes, crowds, anything really.

Thanks :)

And whats the gayest city?

For uhm… research purposes or maybe dating purposes. But that counts as research ig
