I think Nik has given you some sound advice. The forums are a good starting place and the who’s near are going to be your friend on this holiday.
From a male point of view of the couple, who has experienced the life in various states is when you look at the who’s near, take time to have a read at the profile. If couples are not looking for single men, then it’s unlikely this will change.
However, we are all on holiday, so it’s likely that a lot of couples would be happy to have a drink and a chat. Just be aware that when it comes to the naughty side of swinging, it’s probably not going to happen.
Also appreciate that couples whilst on hols and perhaps looking to swing will also want to invest time in what they’re looking for. So be sensitive to this as well.
Not saying you will, but I’ve heard in the past people playing the sympathy card about being on their own. Not the couples problem. The choice to travel solo was made be the individual, so wear it.
As a couple who only play with couples and females, we did have single males in our company. For us, we did make it clear what we were looking for, and once this was appreciated and respected, then we enjoyed their company. Sharing our experiences and anecdotes.
Clubs and Bars, Nik has hit the nail!
From a club point of view, Eden is most likely to be your friendliest. I say this as they do host a couple of gentlemen nights which are not expensive, so head to the Nilo and embrace these.
In the Yumbo you have Studio 69. You will not be charged entry and will be welcomed by the team. Every Wednesday and Friday (I believe) they have a drag artist Miss Ash performing and for a single male (or a couple looking to break ice), these are nights to consider.
Now personally I’m not a fan of drag, though I do appreciate the effort, artistry and talent that goes into this. Just because it’s not my thing, it doesn’t mean I don’t respect it. However, unlike other establishments in the Yumbo that’ll have a number of drag queens giving a performance, Miss Ash performs solo.
Prior to performing, Miss Ash will pop around and have a chat to everyone and then embark on a night of singing, performing, jokes and games. Yes some might be a bit retro in what you’d expect on a Butlins camp in the 80s. However, it’s a laugh, a bit of fun and not taking things serious. So you will enter a stranger and leave a friend. It’s an excellent way to interact with others.
2x2 Meeting Point occasionally host a sex show, so look out for this. Just make sure you have cash, as they don’t take card and the ATM machine in Sandia will sting you €5 commission.
Then the Cita, you will be welcomed by both Before and the Comeback Bar. Both do not charge, so easy to go back and forth.
The Black Bulldog is a great bar once in. Friendly and good service. Getting in is where the problem lies. This can be difficult for couples I hasten to add, so as a single you can multiply this.
There is a cinema in the Cita basement which might be worth a visit. I think it’s circa €10.
Fun4All is around €25 for a single male and Secret I believe is €60. I think it includes a couple of drinks.
Granted Secret is probably the most expensive of all places (though if a couple of drinks are included it does offer a bit of compensation), so any visit here, you’ll probably want to save until the Saturday (or Friday) when it’s at it’s busiest. You’ll get the odd performance going on. And be sure if you’re going into the play area, stay to the right of the club. The left side is for couples and I did see a couple of single guys get bounced out for visiting the side they shouldn’t be in.
My final advice is if you’re into footy/boxing/F1, then the Sports Bars are always worth a visit to hang out with like minded people.
Hope this helps, good luck and enjoy your hols. |
