"American Boys" review (Barcelona)

[Guest EuropTravl]

Thanks to the guy who wrote it, makes me want to call Iberia Airlines tonight.

Reading it reminded me of an old Cadinot porn flick set in a brothel where the boys for sale all gathered in the sitting room and the customers browsed and went to their rooms and rang a bell when they wanted their chosen to visit. Now I'm green with envy there are probably rich bastards who have this scenerio any time they want in their places on this side of the pond. x(

I re-posted the review under European Escorts: Barcelona.

That gent wrote about the most accurate review of the place, ever!

Ok, why doesn't someone set up a brothel in Nevada? I sometimes watch the Bunny Ranch episodes on HBO - once in awhile they show some pretty hot men screwing the hookers. Anyhow, I keep reading the Heidi Fleiss is going to open a male ranch, but only for women customers. Jeez ... how about a M4M ranch? Anyone? Anyone?

There used to be a m/m brothel on the Upper West Side of New York. Celebs like Tony Perkins and Peter O'Toole checked in (as clients).

As far as I know, brothels are illegal in the U.S. except Nevada. But the ones in Barcelona (I think there are a couple of men for men ones) are clearly not illegal. American Boys has been there for years and seems to operate quite openly. A few places like it advertise in the local gay paper. I don't know exactly what the ins and outs of Spanish (or Catalan) law are on the subject of prostitution, but they must be substantially different to the U.S. laws.

In Brazil, I was told that prostitution is not illegal as long as there is not middleman. In other words, you can pay the prostitute, but not a third party. This is why, rather than brothels, you have "boys" for sale at the baths. Effectively it's the same for the customer. The bath owner doesn't make any money on the prostitution, just entrance fees (which are not necessarily for paid sex). This seems a sensible solution to me, since it discourages organized crime groups from being involved, but people are free to sell sexual acts if they want.

The only decent argument against prostitution is involvement of crime organizations anyway, or in the case of female prostitution, men who force women to do it. Otherwise, I see no reason that free human beings should not be allowed to ask for money to have sex.
