Sydney & Melbourne, Australia

[Guest tcw]

I'm going to be in these cities on holiday in November. I like clean-cut, muscular guys in their early 20s to mid-30s. Does anyone have personal experience of, or advice about, escorts in either of these cities ?

[Guest monu22]

Just got back from there..and will have no troble finding what you want. Escorts are legal there. In Sydney a good place to find your choice is the "Sydney Observer" (newspaper)or any of the adult places in Kings Cross or Oxford St (Tool Shed is a great place). Melbourne is a little more discrete but plenty of ads in the local newspaper or under escorts in the phone book. $125AUD should get you a real deal. Enjoy. If yu are into Asians, there is a place at 55A Murphy Street, Surrey Hills (Sydney suburb) that I would recommend.

Check out knightcall (on line at http://www.knightcall.com.au) they're a very reliable agency in Sydney. Also in Sydney try Damian Grey, reviewed on this site. I had a great time with him, although others have given mixed reviews. I know that Peter from London (again on this site) is going to be in Sydney and working. If you're there at the same time as him, don't miss him. Can't help you with Melbourne.

Over and above the Sydney Star Observor, there is another paper called "Capital Q". Last week, 1/9/00-sorry-9/1/00 there were 25 Pictorial ads for escorts and 30 text only ads. 16 ads for erotic masseurs. Plus five agencies. This superimposed on top of the Sydney Star Observer[eliminating duplications]. Reckon you have 85 possibilities.And they all haven't come out of their shells yet. Olympics still a fortnight[aka-two weeks away]. By November there will be some Northern Hemisphere lads here. Melbourne is more restricted. Escorts have to be registered but that doesn't mean there isn't any. Try the websites that deal with international escorts and go for Pacific Ocean-if not Australia. Cheers!

live in Sydney & Melbourne, use escorts in both; In Sydney, Sydney Star Observer & Capital Q, Knightcall [http://www.knightcall.com.au] is the most reliable agency. In Melbourne use Global Escorts [http://www.globalescorts.com.au]; haven't had great results from local gay newspaper ads in Melbourne.

 

Not a lot of internet advertising and currently neither of the above agencies show escort pics, but this might also be because of Australian Federal laws on internet content even though prostitution is legal in New South Wales (Sydney) and Victoria (Melbourne).

 

Another source is the adult classifieds on [http://www.pinkboard.com.au] but this currently is pretty slow.

 

The Australian dollar is at an almost all time low against the US$ so even though rates are going up to around $A165 per hour, they're good value in $US.

I can recommand a very good-looking guy named DARRYL in Sydney. He has his own website : http://www.superscort.com so check his pictures and infos.

I know Darryl has been reviewed on this site several times, and that some of those reviews were not very good.

I met him while I was staying in Manhattan during the summer of 1999. I never submitted a review because by the time I discovered this site, Darryl had left NY.

This young Australian guy was very nice with me. He's gorgeous and had no problem getting hard. He seemed a little shy and didn't spoke much, but I felt comfortable with him and he was very nice and polite with me.

I keep a very good memory of the time I spent with him and I would be very happy if I could see him again someday.

Try to contact him by email or phone, and see for yourself !

To carry over some questions from another thread that seem to apply here:

Since escorts are legal in Sydney and Melbourne, but have to register, has that lead to a decrease in the number of young street boys who are being fairly much forced into a rather unwanted life of street hustlering by life situations and dastard pimps? How well is this legality working at seperating escorting from crime, particularly, I suppose, organized crime? Do you think that more places in the USA should puch for similar laws?

[Guest JH]

I agree. I saw Darryl twice when I was in Sydney this April. I thought he was a really nice guy and once he starts, he rogers like a jackrabbit ; ) I saw the bad reviews too; I guess it depends on whether or not he takes to you.

[swallows22]

JH and I must have been brothers in a previous life. I have only seen Daryl once, and granted, he is not running for Ms. Congeniality, that dick has a mind of its own. Most satisfactory. Had picked up on Peter from London from this website before JH mentioned him. Was very fortunate to see him twice while he was here in Sydney. Am changing my trip next year from Sydney-USA round trip to around the world so as to see Peter again in London. I have submitted a review for Peter. For you Yanks, he has another couple days in SF and then the month of October out of Chicago, but per his website, he is already fairly heavily booked. See reviews male4male for contact details. Mates, you got to work a bit. Cheers!

Further to Bilbo's comments-

Registration is mandatory in Melbourne[state of Victoria] but not required at all in Sydney[state of New South Wales]. We are talking about two cities that are approximately the same size[roughly four million people]. If you go to the Melbourne gay newspapers, you would be lucky to find ads for 10/15 escorts. Whereas, the Sydney gay newspapers overflow with roughly 80 ads for escorts, not to mention erotic masseurs.

With the legal age here 18, you really don't find hustlers over that age. There is no need. The sad part is that the under 18's have to hustle. These are the lads from the bush that are harrassed or ridiculed for being gay in the heart of redneck country. They come to the big smoke for a bit of freedom, but then can not believe the cost of living in a major metropolitan center. Hence, dope and hustling. There is a place in Sydney called the "Wall". On any given night, you can find 3-8 blokes[under 18] trying to sell it.

The gay community in Sydney tries to alleviate the problem, but there are always more lads and lasses then resources.

I moved here 25 years ago from the US and I have never really heard about pimps being involved. It is all too free for them to try and monopolize a hooker.

Mate, there is no way I am going to make a comment about organized crime. But, permit me an observation. Australia's population is too small. Our country is the same size as the USA, but the population is 20 million at best, which is two-thirds the population of California. Not enough volume.

Your final question also revolves around volume. This is a very trite comparison, but allow me. Aussies come back from holidays in the US raving about cheap this or that. They ask -Why can't we have it here. Simple answer-not enough volume. Even with the girls, you don't hear too much about pimps-turnover is slack. Now, whether any of this would work in the US, you would have to get a very sympatica Congress, not to mention President. It is like when Hawaii or Vermont wanted to pass laws that favoured gay weddings. Didn't the other states go into cardiac arrest!

Mates, I am signing off. I have spent the last three nights doing volunteer work at the Olympic site-pushing wheel chairs. Pleasure doing it but I am bloody buggered. Appreciate this chance at mental gymnastics vis-a-vis the hard slog. Cheers!

RE: Darryl

 

For you guys that got to meet with Darryl in New York and had a good experience, consider yourself lucky.

 

I met with Darryl several years ago and was very disappointed. Before our meeting, we had a few discussions over the phone and he agreed to certain things and kept saying how we would have a lot of fun together. Well, Darryl's idea of fun is only 15 minutes in length. Sure he blew me for a little bit and I blew him, but when he told me he wasn't going to top me as he agreed because he had another client coming in right after me, it was obvious I had to finish the job myself and my total time with him sexually was right about 15 minutes.

 

Add to it the couple of minutes of chit-chat at the beginning and my cleaning up afterwards, I was barely in his apt. for 20 minutes. At $220 / hour, I was less than pleased.

 

I relayed this story to another NYC escort who was familiar with Darryl and he told me that it was well known that Darryl would book clients on top of each other so he wouldn't have to put much effort into the appointment, thus making a lot of money for very little effort.

 

I always like to treat escorts with respect and in fact don't view them as prostitutes, except in the case of Darryl. He in nothing more than an insecure, money-hungry little whore.

 

For the guys that had a good experience with him, you must have gotten him on a slow night.

[Bilbo]

Dear Swallows, I get confused easily, but it seems to me that your note is implying that there is not the problem, or at least not the same size of problem with underage, etc. street boys in Melbourne where the escorts have to register. Am I just reading into what you said or is that perhaps the case? And, if so, do you think that the registration alone would cut down on the problem without outright criminalization? Also, please be advised that in certain counties in one of our states, Nevada, escorting is legal. Which raises the possibility that, since it doesn't involve interstate commerce, given long enough (20 - 30 years?) other counties in other states might be able to go legal as well. ((Anyone from the section of London where escorting is legal but selling it on the street isn't have any comments?))

G'day TCW, Bilbo, et al!

Sorry for the delay, but my access went walkabout. Have been mute for four days. Pissed me off!

Firstly, to be true to this thread, I made a grave ommission in my last correspondence. TCW wanted helpful hints for Sydney/Melbourne. I can only speak for Sydney. My previous posts indicate that I am not an ingenue, but still, not as experienced as some of my US brothers. [incidentally, I am bi-coastal-US and Aussie citizen-does it get better than that?] Recently, I have been seeing a bloke by the name of Dan. He can be found at http://www.executivemaleescorts [escorts,Australia,Dan]. He has one review on Hooboy's site. I have one in process and I know another is on the way. Think he would be just what you want. Only problem-he is going to the US 26 October for five weeks-its the experience and the almighty US dollar. Think he will be in Atlanta, Miami and somewhere else. You can e-mail him at danscort@hotmail.com Was with him last night and if you like someone about 30 who never stops kissing, sucking, go for it. I have never booked him for less than two hours and finally last night I saw his bum. That is how good the kissing and sucking is. But talk about dining out. It was truly silver service. Just send him back to me.

And now Mr./Mrs/Ms./Dr./Prof. Bilbo,

Re: your last

Mate, I am not all that clever with legalistics, but Melbourne has its own life style-very LA. Sydney is SF personified. Even the bloody politicians know that there is a "gay" vote. The Mardi Gras is well known. But that doesn't solve the problem of the young blokes/lasses that feel isolated out in the bush. Makes no difference whether Victoria or New South Wales. It all boils down to the fact that if there was an adequate support system. there would be no exploitation of the young.

But then, how do you support? I am queerer than a three dollar bill-don't even want sex with some one under 30 years of age. If I make a move to help a young chap, I will very probably be accused of being a pedophile. If we can overcome this situation, there cannot be exploitation of the young. Mind you, there will always be some queen out there, for their own self-gratification, destroy all the good work some one might do.

My final thought is that [i am going to be burnt at the cross] if that so many queens weren't worried about their own satisfaction,and the high profile queens/dykes come out to the public,the kids would not have a problem. I reiterate-the high profile people that don't have the balls/tits to say they are gay. Pox on their house. And have a bloody good day.
