after bkk, i visited Shenzhen, which is a booming border city in China, just next to HK. Been to 3 saunas and what a difference when compared to Bkk!! very few guys are posing. about 95% are there to have fun. connections are extremely easy: guys simply grab each other's dick, no tiring cruising or even a chat. unfortunately, this means that guys u don't like will grab your dick too.
body wise, chinese guys in the sauna range from muscular to slim/skinny. the vast majority in between.

very little (if any) evidence of a sticky-rice phenomenon. guys are genuinely curious about white guys, especially their dicks. if u happen to have a cock larger than usual, i think u'd get lots of attention regardless of your age (although seriously aged guys and those overweight might be ignored by the sauna visitors).

most people, including staff, are extremely friendly, making u feel welcome.

overall, when compared to bkk (a supposed sex capital of asia), shenzhen comes off as a very attractive place for a short visit (there's not much to do beyond a few days).

there's also a hero-like sex massage venue in shenzhen. charges for handjob lower than bkk. fuck is somewhat more expensive.

You beat me to the mark.

As this just 'up the road' for me, addresses or web addresses would be great. As a self-appointed connoiseur of BKK steams it would be interesting to compare.

As I have said before in previous posts, the saunas here in HK are throbbin' and pulsin'!! While I am a regular visitor 'over the border' I haven't yet ventured into the Shnzhn steam scene... but forever the adventurer!

-- Khun TST.,
- Khun Gweilo will give us all his usual & unbiased reports, I'm sure.

-- I know that this is long term planning but I'm thinking of fleeing the Kingdom for next year's Songkran Fest'l. - enough is enough:
- An American acquaintance, who spends most of his time in RI. and speaks the language, has spoken highly of MEDAN, Sumatra, but looking-at reports via search-engine Google I've become a bit dubious about that place. Hence I'm casting my net wider.

the main sauna is called yang gang, it's located not far from the park called lizhi. exact address found on the net: 2033 Middle Hong Lin Lu 3/F @ Nan Chong Hotel
阳刚桑拿 深圳市福田区 红岭中路2033. the place is extremely busy on weekends and operates 24 hours.

another one is called KK. it's close to kexueguang metro station (exit C; but it's not helpful as the place is hard to find). pix of the sauna, address and the tel number here: KKͬ־ɣÄûáËù >> µç»°£º0755-83651839 it's also 24-hour place

the third one is called XO. address here: http://www.huo888.com/show.asp?nid=213
operates 24 hours

KK and XO attract smaller crowd, but it's easier to connect where guys have lesser choice. facilities are almost identical in all saunas (read: very basic). hygiene level problematic (towels actually stink and look positively grey; so don't smell them). not much to do if u had sex or cannot get it. u could use the pc with the internet (about 2 pcs in each sauna, but always occupied) or watch Chinese tv in a big sleeping room.

very few cubicles for sex (in all venues),but guys don't tend to stay in the rooms for ever (rooms are very basic and rather unwelcoming) so u should have no problems finding a place when the need arises.

condoms provided at the counter. but maybe it's easier to bring your own.

as i said before, chinese guys in shenzhen seem to be largely colour blind when it comes to sex (in fact, all seemed fascinated by my white skin and shaved pubes), but because of it, they are not automatically into any white guys. still, i believe that a big cock could win everyone a few or many fans.

chinese guys seem to be into fucking, rather than just sucking. there are many tops and many bottoms. they are not ashamed of being upfront about their favorite sexual position. simply ask and they will tell u. in most cases, they will ask u.

those speaking english will definitely find u.

I know this is all easily researchable, but I assume you had to get a visa to enter China? Did you have to get photos for that? Did you first fly into Hong Kong? Does one simply take a train from Hong Kong? How did you pick a hotel to stay in? Did you consider taking any guys back to your hotel room for overnight? How is the English-speaking ability there? Do you have a lot of problems communicating? The whole thing sounds fascinating! Maybe the best way to get there from U.S. is to fly to Hong Kong.

You said they love fucking and getting fucked. But that is my observation in Bangkok. The Thai guys almost always want to fuck me--and I let them!

Quote |

I agree. Thai guys are very President Clinton when it comes to sex. Unless there is fucking involved, the Thai guys would say, with hand on heart, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

Quote |

You do need a visa; you can apply for yourself at the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok, but it is much better to pay a couple hundred baht to a travel agency for them to deal with the crowds and bureaucracy for you.

There are also non-stop flights from Bangkok to Shenzhen on Air Asia.

Quote |

Thanks. I would probably be going there from U.S.--so it would probably be flying to Hong Kong. I assume that photos are required. It's probably some deal where I'd have to mail my passport to a China consulate in the U.S.

-- It's weird; I can't understand people who seem not to avail of search engine Google, or similar, before asking so many questions.

--Why don't you go to the flg. web-site -
> Chinese Visa, Passport, Notarization & Authentication < ? It is in ENGLISH.
- Now 'Up to you.'!

can you please tell me what is the address and name for this HERO type massage in Shenzhen ?

Quote |

I want to have hot sex with a Chinese, and then tell him he's one in a billion!

Quote |

I've not visited saunas in Shenzen, but have had similar experiences with non English speaking mainland Chinese in HK (at Game Boy in Wan Chai - sadly no more!) One approached me in the communal showers, grabbed my dick and pointed at his arse (no translation needed). Another was waiting for me as I exited a toilet cubicle and simply pushed me back inside, dropped his towel and pointed at my mouth and his hard dick ( by now I think I am fluent in Chinese !) Hope to try Shenzen in November
