So I've noticed lately when looking at the 'Greater London' zone on BBRT - which is usually the most active London area - that the parties section seems to be dying off. There still seem to be guys advertising parties but nobody is requesting invites or signing up to attend them. If you look at last Sunday's parties (and it's a holiday weekend) there are six listed, with 0,1,0,1,3,2 attendees. If the hit rate of people actually showing up is 1-2 in 10 then this doesn't seem very successful. I am sure it didn't used to be this quiet. What's happening? You occasionally and rarely see a successful party advertised and it has maybe 15+ attendees listed. But I don't understand why as it looks nothing special compared to the others. What's different? It makes me wonder if I am missing something! I will also say I've noticed that if you request invites to parties in advance, you often don't get accepted until maybe an hour or two before and by then I've made other plans. Is this another level of internet flakiness? Is this unique to London? What gives?

Some years ago I joined the local municipal swimming pool and gym. The gym had a separate sauna/steam/jacuzzi pool for men/women and mixing was not possible. It wasn't popular as it was a bit in need of refurbishment. I had a few good encounters there - usually stray hands in the bubbly water in the jacuzzi - but a few in the sauna and steam too. it was quiet enough you could do stuff but you had to be discrete and careful. Then it got closed for refurbishment - and they joined the mens and womens sides together. It wasn't anywhere like what it was and the jacuzzi only yielded the odd fumble. A couple of years after that it got closed for repairs for a week - and when it reopened they had filled in the jacuzzi with concrete and turned it into a patio area. When I asked why the staff said it was due to persistent anti-social behaviour. I'd have argued we were being social, not anti-social... A: Totally agreed. I've often wondered how this is achieved. B: I am sure there is a Ministry of No Fun. They are the ones that make rates and licensing costs absurdly high so gay bars, clubs and saunas have to close. They make legislation preventing places from having darkrooms. They also close the public bathrooms, and cut down all the vegetation at places where men like to go for walks.

I think you've illustrated my earlier point: the problem is that guys state what they want: "...all my control taken and just used..." without saying what they are prepared to bring to such a group to help others achieve their goals, which is what this is about. With too many takers and not enough prepared to give as well, the group won't work. I think that's why you get closed "groups of friends" that arrange things between themselves. The two I've been involved with have one 'lead' guy who decides who's invited and organises the group. Getting invited is a matter of being recommended by an existing member. If you engage with the group and have a compatible attitude then you get invited to the next one. As an aside think about online profiles - is a profile that says what you have to offer more likely to get responses than one that says what you want? Maybe both? A.x

Hey - this is a good idea... So many guys are just 'into' whatever get them off. As there are so many bottoms/subs out there I think we have to help each other out from time to time as the numbers just don't add up. The cruising apps seem to push people toward being more selfish with their needs. A group that is more about helping each other achieve goals would be interesting to me.

Headed to SOP at Central Station on Sunday - wondering if any other BreedingZone guys will be there? Bank holiday weekends are usually very good!
-
I can't make Friday unfortunately, but I'm very much up for a trip to the Heath some other time.
-
Totally agree. Sweaty Pits or sweaty socks/trainers are like catnip for me!

Be careful what you tell strangers

Hottest thing I've read on here... totally pushed all my buttons as sneaker sniffing is my A1 fetish... -
Pants numbers can be variable - but when it's good it's very good. Seems to be random. If it turns out to be quiet then try Vault 139 which is a couple of stops on the bus away or walkable. That can be randomly busy/quiet and the crowd a bit fluffy at times.

Agreed but in the UK the Impact PReP protocol seems to be to get a consult, then abstain from sex for two weeks, then get tested with a high sensitivity test, results took about a week in my clinic then go back for the impact trial prescription. It takes about 4 weeks in total with NHS appointment availability being what it is.

Yay - that's excellent news!

Was chatting to someone at SOP in London the other day and they said that the darkrooms/playspaces in Boltz were closed when he last visited. He was unclear if it was a one-off or longer term. Any locals with inside knowledge know what is going on? I was planning a trip to Birmingham soon and was hoping to visit as I got some good loads in Boltz last time I was there...

Not just the homeless... I remember in my clubbing days, London prices were such that many younger guys used to plan to sleep in the sauna rather than pay for a hotel room when visiting the capital for a weekend of partying.
-
Just noticed this and it made me LOL.
-
Haha... maybe wiggling isn't the best word... Rocking or swinging back and forwards a little so there is some forwards and backwards motion shows you're engaged and willing. If you're just motionless you could be asleep!

how to let "straight" black thugs know you want their dicks
AirmaxUK replied to 4BBC2USE's topic in General Discussion
This doesn't work so well now everyone is staring at their phones - they don't notice you cruising them. Before smartphones it was great picking guys up almost anywhere. Its also kinda sad that even if you're in a cruise bar or club these days, guys are more interested in Grindr than who's actually cruising them IRL. I also found that it was a lot more successful if I was wearing my contact lenses. If I was wearing glasses it almost never worked. -
Similar experiences here at the Luton Greenhouse Sauna. So many guys 'come for a look' and then disappear. I think that sauna is a bit too vanilla and most of the action goes on in private. The sling at SOP has a much higher success rate - it helps if you engage someone before going to the sling so they come and play. Then others seem to join in... If you just go to the sling alone and lay there, it seems to never happen. Also I wonder if the sling being in a well lit area isn't helpful - certainly the ones at Luton Greenhouse are in a room that's lit enough to see and I struggle with them. The sling in the basement of Darlaston Greenhouse is in pitch black (no blindfold needed) and seems a lot more successful. I also find not just laying there but massaging my hole and wiggling suggestively helps. Making the chains jangle also attracts attention if it's quiet.

I just had a look at these as I am also on the lookout for a place to stay where guys can cum and go easily. I just wanted to point out a couple of things... The wellington gets good press but some of the reviews say the owners are retiring and it has "an uncertain future". That was a while ago... would be interested to know if it is still good and whether it has changed ownership. The fountain inn's web page makes much of the fact that they monitor the place with cameras and if you try and sneak guys in for a party they will magically appear to break it up. They also say if they see you bringing extra guys in to sleep over that aren't booked guests then they'll charge you extra. That kind 1984 monitoring thing would put me off. So... for now my search continues.

Yes +1 vote for central station's underground club in Kings Cross. I really miss the original PlayPit in Caledonian Road.
-
Greenhouse Darlaston... yes I've had similar experiences there and there's a sling in the dark bit too which is great. I have been there on "bears day" and someone actually use their phone as a flashlight to "vet" the guys in the darkroom, which as you say is absolutely pitch black.

Have to say yes to this one - but darkrooms tend to be a bit variable how dark they actually are. In more fluffy venues guys seem to want to see who they're playing with. Harder venues not so much. I like it dark enough not to see at all and use my imagination. Allied to that a similar experience is blindfolded in a sling but in the saunas I frequent the slings are in not so dark areas so fun seems to be a bit thin on the ground.

"Expectant" is an interesting word and I think it cuts both ways. So I was at the sauna last night and it was pretty quiet. Too many bottoms fighting over basically no tops, nobody willing to be versatile. So I decided to switch sides, popped a viagra and put a cock ring on to let the fun begin. what I found was most of the bottoms were really lazy and unengaging - they bend over and stick their ass out in your direction expectantly, and that's it. When I top I like bottoms I play with at least to engage somehow - show they want it, or appreciate the attention. Maybe that's a little sucking or nipple play. Maybe it's an encouraging hand exploring. Even something verbal. Just something beyond waggling a bent over arse in my direction expectantly. That's the way to guarantee I'm rock hard and ready. SO I guess you could say it's about attitude, and I'd put attitude over looks every time. When I bottom, that is how I behave - I work for it - I set myself apart from lazy bottoms - ensure my top is hard and satisfied, rather just than expecting him to perform a service. For me, that is a factor in keeping tops hard and interested. These days now that PrEP is so accessible, clubs and saunas seem to be overrun with bottoms and it gets very competitive. You need a USP to stand out - for some that's their looks/physique. For those of us not as blessed in that regard, attitude is what counts. Switching roles like I did last night gives an interesting perspective - it did make me think about the behaviour of the bottoms - what worked, what didn't, what was attractive behaviour and what wasn't. I learned a few things I intend to try next time I'm out and about...

I would consider The Vault on a Friday night. I'd be there but I'll be busy hosting my foot/footwear fetish party at Central Station. Pants at central station is also worth considering if you are around in the afternoon (it closes at 6pm)

When I was chatting to the guy who verified my pic, he said the purpose of the WhatsApp/Skype verification was because they had to ensure under German law that under 18yo do not upload pics of older guys in order to use the site.

Being a boot and sneaker pig, I like a few drops on cotton wool then inserted inside the boot, and then sniff.... oink!
