Cruising in Taipei

<Sigh> I don't have a lot to share from Taipei. I left as horny and desperate as I was when I arrived, maybe a bit more. In Taipei's defense, I was only there for a week and the combination of a case of transpacific jetlag and lots of work meetings left me with little appetite to go out and cruise on weeknights. So I'm glad I arrived on the weekend and had some time to explore before the work week started. It was just very PG-13.

I arrived in Taipei on Saturday morning. I took a short nap and although I had a groggy afternoon, I managed to pull myself together and go out in the evening. Perhaps I should have gone to a sauna. But I only found one nearby sauna and it  seemed to be unpopular among younger guys. That’s although my hotel was in the Ximen area near the Red House, which is the center of the gayborhood. The most popular sauna was a metro ride away and it discriminated against non-Taiwanese, requiring around $30 to enter, which was about three times more than locals pay. Reviews from expats living in Taiwan seemed to indicate that this may be racially motivated. It was indeed surprising to find so many declaring on Grindr that they were only into Asians. Another sauna that may have been a reasonable compromise required taking the metro and I preferred to stay in the neighborhood that day.

I ended up going to Hunt bar, where I thought I'd have the best chance to find sex. But someone warned me that the locals were mostly looking for kissing and cuddling in the dark room…if you can even call it a dark room. It was dark enough, but it was basically just a small part of the bar’s space which was separated by a curtain on either side.

Before going into dark room activities, I'll just share an amusing experience that took place in the bar at midnight, when everyone had to take their shirt off, as per house rules. That revealed many defined bodies but it did very little to change the mood in the bar. It still took time for anyone to go behind the curtains into the dark room.

I cuddled and kissed a bit with one guy who had some muscle and was a little older than most of the guys there. To me, they all looked like twinks, but I acknowledge that many Asians look naturally younger. I cuddled with a few other guys, but nothing led anywhere.

At least I got a finger inside my hole from someone I had talked to on Grindr. Not Asian of course. I sucked him and he loved it. But I wasn't looking to play with him much more.
