Gay in Morocco? Gay sense? Places? Cities? Where you can find boys hummmm gorgeous

[ArabGayxxl]

Moroccan law prohibits sexual acts between people of the same gender. Officially, society views homosexuals with the same contempt as prostitutes. Yet, like prostitution, gay sex is very much a part of that same society.

Morocco has become something of a gay destination, particularly Marrakech and Agadir ,There are no gay bars or nightclubs in Morocco, but there are places that attract a large gay clientele, In Casablanca, the Café de France opposite the Hyatt Regency hotel is a well-known meeting place, as are some of the clubs on the ocean front boulevard de la Corniche, notably the Fibule.

In Marrakech, the Café des Negociants on Place Abdelmoumen Benali is known as a cruising area. A popular club among gays in Agadir is Jimmy's. Other cities are less popular among tourists looking for gay entertainment. Tangier, on the other hand, has a longstanding tradition in this area.

A hammam, or bathhouse, is not a good place to cruise. Despite the heat and partial nudity, any hint of sexual intentions will go down very badly with most of the visitors. Performing actual sexual acts in a hammam will cause extreme offense....

[ButtyBoy]

I was told by a Moroccan friend that there is a hammam in Casablanca where it is possible to have sex. I haven't been there, it wasn't in the city centre. I don't think I would have sex in a hammam in Morocco anyway. In Holland I never go to gay saunas or something similair. It's not really my style.

I do know the Café de France in Casablanca. I didn't notice any cruising but I wasn't in a cruising mood when I was there. I was just there with friendly friends having a nice time. The places in Marrakech that you mentioned don't ring a bell to me, but Marrakech is cruisy all over the city of you ask me. In Tanger I didn't notice anything cruisy or something. No bars or clubs to go, etc. But I wasn't there for a long time.. And unfortunately I haven't been in Agadir yet. I want to go, but at the same time I'm affraid that I will hate the touristic character of Agadir. Or perhaps I won't mind that, after all it is Morocco.. :)

[jacktip]

i ve been in the magreb at least 40 times all over yhe country,with a special destination of agadir.however i cant say that its not cruisy -things are realy changed out there, [Jimmy;s is closed for a long time now at least 4 years]
but there is enough left to do in nightlife cause its a poor offer of clubs and they all want a future n;est pas?
however there is enough males left on the street during 1700 till 2100 hours
they know we want them and we know this time is 100 % score so cut the bull shit abouth scedules and places this realy works in the streets all over the contry:)

I'm glad that there are enough guys to meet in Morocco who aren't hustlers. I was also approached by lots of hustler boys in Marrakech, in the streets and also in Diamand Noir, but I turned down all their offers. I even got a lapdance from a female prostitute in Diamand Noir once which gave me (and my Moroccan gay friends) an enormous laughkick.. I didn't ask for a lapdance, she just started doing it. I think it took her a while to figure out that she was wasting her time but eventually she left, lol.

[merlin]

Hi ArabGayXXL. Interesting what you say about the laws about gayness in Morocco. I will be going to Marrakech soon, I will only be there for about 10 nights. Where should I go looking to meet cute guys. My arabic language is very limited, and in any case I learned in Iraq so it may be different, but I am ok with French.

....

[jacktip]

hi,
french is enough for the guys you want to meet a litlle iraquees might be a plus i am not sure,cause you maybe know they are quiet suspicious abouth arab langues [think infiltrant police] you can meet men in the big cities between 1600 and 2000 hour on the streets and teracces dont talk to much in public give drinks trough waiters they all know the game good luck

[merlin]

Thanks Jacktip. It all looks very promising. I see buttyboy talks about being able to get 4 guys in a day. Wow, well I hope that's Marrakech he is talking about and I will be having a ball. I heard they will all expect money over there in exchange for their services. Do you know anything about that? Like how much they would expect? I don't really mind to finance them a bit but Latvia is not one of the wealthiest countries in the EU as you probably know.

[ButtyBoy]

I see buttyboy talks about being able to get 4 guys in a day.

I think you misread something. It wasn't me who was able (or tried to) getting 4 guys in a day.

[merlin]

Does anyone on here have any information about hotels in Marrakech?
Will we be able to take our Moroccan lovers inside?

[ButtyBoy]

Most likely not. In most cases the guys won't even come with you inside the hotel. It's too dangerous for them. If they do agree to come with you inside the hotel then they will need to show their ID at the reception, and you'll probable get some funny looks :o Or possibly they won't allow you to have a guest in your room. If you're planning to meet several guys; rent an appartment. Discretion is a big deal in Morocco.

Well, things must have changed from the last time I was in Marrakesh, because the Hammams were VERY cruisy, and quite openly. Now, there might have been a cutdown on the cruising. Also, the hassling in the streets was really intolerable, that's why the Marrocan govt has been fighting these bad habits that deter(ed) tourists from ever coming back to Marroco.

[hotsucker]

I'm not a big fan of sex tourism and I'm glad that there are enough guys to meet in Morocco who aren't hustlers. I prefer making friends instead of 'processing' 4 guys a day.. Anyway, I'm sure that your report and tips will be quite helpfull to others who do enjoy sex holidays, like you do. Everything you mentioned is true. I was also approached by lots of hustler boys in Marrakech, in the streets and also in Diamand Noir, but I turned down all their offers. I even got a lapdance from a female prostitute in Diamand Noir once which gave me (and my Moroccan gay friends) an enormous laughkick.. I didn't ask for a lapdance, she just started doing it.

I must say I'm quite upset with these habit of systematically asking money for sex. I know it's probably a way for young marrocans (as well as young muslims in general) to convince themselves that they did it "out of need" not "for the pleasure of it". But on the whole, whenever that happens, I always respond with a flat NO. Few people insist on money if they really want sex (and usually, they are so desparate to get their rocks off, they'll agree to get sucked for free). I don't think it's a good thing to encourage prostitution by accepting to give money for sex, even if you have the means to do it.

[Alex]

I understand what you are saying but is it fair to single out the Muslims.
I lived part of my life in Thailand and its just the same there.

[hotsucker]

No, I was not intending to "single out" muslims, but rather to enlarge the problem to the muslim world, rather than just Marrocco. because the same problem seems pregnant in all the muslim countries I have visited, more than in the non-muslim ones. But I don't know Asia (except for India), and cannot therefore talk about it. But I trust that it may be true as well.

And again, I've not experienced that problem to the same extent in India, although most men there could also use the pretext of poverty to request money. But very few do ask, and usually not in an insistant way.

[Alex]

I thought they were Hindu in India?? Pakistan is where I thought the Muslims were, but I have never been so don't really know.

But when my Dad was posted to Kano, Nigeria they were all Muslims and very strict ones at that. I remember a woman being threatened with stoning to death because of some sex offence. I think some European government intervened and saved her. But what i really wanted to say was that even they were very, very poor I did not see any of the Muslim men there offering sex for money. Wish I had because some were gorgeous.

[hotsucker]

In India, there are some Hindus and some Muslims (and a few christians).

In Black Africa, I think the "black" culture predominates over the muslim religion. And in the Black cultures, homosexuality is quite taboo, even more so than in Islam. Though I heard it can happen there, too, but rarely with money involved.

It upsets me too.. But I must say that I prefer it if they ask for money instead of just stealing money or mobile phones or whatever. When they ask for money then at least I get the chance to turn down their offer.. I've had some really nasty experiences with Moroccan guys unfortunately. Luckily I know that there are plenty Moroccans who I can trust too.

I don't think it's a good thing to encourage prostitution by accepting to give money for sex, even if you have the means to do it.

I lived in Amsterdam for a year and met quite a few Moroccans. While I was more than willing to pay for sex with them, the opportunity just never materialized ...basically what I'm saying is if I had the chance I would have paid for it with any of the hot Moroccan men I was aquainted with. Sadly I never had the opportunity of visiting Morocco either. I respect your opinion about not encouraging prostitution, however I don't mind helping out someone in need or, even if they take cash just to justify their action in their own minds. If someone has a great body, or spends seven-out-of-seven days at the gym working on their body and are "willing" (not coerced or forced into prostitution) then I say go for it!

[Spoggit]

ButtyBoy - interesting posts. My advice as a non Arab resident of Morocco? Agadir is uninteresting to say the least IMHO.

And Merlin, please don't offer money. This only encourages prostitution among not necessarily gay men. A gift (phone card, watch for example) is fine.

[philosophia]

Visiting Marrakech April 1-9. Any up to date tips, warnings, etc???

someone mentioned bad experiences - what do I need to look out for??

Nick

[Spoggit]

Common sense really. Don't wear flashy jewelry, warches etc. Carry only the cash that you need. Avoid badly lit areas at night. The city is full of plainclothed tourist police: they are there for your protection. Otherwise the crime rate in Marrakech is very low compared to other cities.

[Murad-ly]

Be careful guys coz it's pretty dirty!

[Murad-ly]

A friend of mine went there n came back with crabs!

[Spoggit]

Murad-ly: that's pretty rich for a person who lives in one of the most polluted, noisy. dirty, dictatorial and rip-off cities on the planet. Hope your "friend" enjoyed the lobster with his crabs. (And who gave what to whom, pray tell?)

[teleny]

On July 1st I'll go to Sousse in Tunisie, why you don't write never about gay live of Tunisie?

[LaDuqesa]

I hope that this are useful. I hope that they do not sound too negative; most of the bad things I mention will not happen, but you must be prepared. By the way, I’m English and live in Morocco 3 months every year. I shall next be back there later this month. I wouldn't advise going to a hammam to look for sex.Most are pretty workmanlike places, where people really do go to get clean, although some sex does go on in them. You have to know the times and signs. Homosexuality is illegal in Morocco , but as long as you are discreet, anything goes. The problem is in finding somewhere to go for sex. Many guys live with their parents/families as they don't earn enough to have their own place. Most hotels won't let a Moroccan up to your room as there have been too many incidents of theft - or worse.Travel books won't mention much about the gay scene or they'd be banned; the Moroccan govt is perfectly awareof why so many single older men come to Morocco , but would never openly admit that homosexuality goes on -"it's a western thing" they say and the laws are usually only used against political opponents or totally indiscreet tourists. If you are in trouble, you can bribe your way out of it. But don't pay too much. Do remember not to do anything you wouldn't do at home, like go off with someone you don't like the look of; just tell him to get lost. Call the police over if necessary. Don't trust anyone with your belongings(outside the hotel) whom you don't know - they'll be stolen, more than likely. Don't go anywhere too off the beaten track, although if you are in trouble, all you have to do is yell and scream as loudly as possible - hundreds of people will come running, literally.I'm trying to distill years of experience into a few words and I'm aware it sounds very negative.The real rule, I've mentioned already is don't lose your senses. If someone in the main station of your town whom you’d just met asked to use your Walkman while you were waiting for a train, well, you just wouldn’t give it to them, would you? It’s the same in Morocco . Hustlers try and get your confidence and then ask to use something like a Walkman or a Discman. Just refuse to let them use it. If they say (and Moroccans are good psychologists!) “Don’t you trust me then?”, just tell the guy(s) “No. I don’t trust you”. If someone persists,tell them clearly to get away. You may get sworn at, but it's better than losing possessions or worse. Don’t ever lend possessions or even let people use them even while you’re there. Please be aware that Moroccans - officially - need a licence to walk in the street with a tourist in Marrakech, Tangiers and Agadir; this is because tourists were getting sobadly hassled in the past. This is not necessary in Casablanca. If you want to pull a guy, you can go to a "straight" disco and eye up the guys - you'll be quickly aware of who's interested. You'll be fascinated by the way the Moroccans dance; the girls - in a disco, they would all be prostitutes - all wiggle their bums swiftly,the boys wiggle their bums more slowly, but it's meant to get their mates horny; you'll see plenty of same sex dancing, really horny dancing too. It doesn't mean the guys will fuck with each other. In Morocco , the focus of sex is the arse; straight guys, even, prefer to fuck girls up the arse than the cunt. This is, partly, why they're into guys too - guys have arses! Be discreet though, don't stare too much. Be prepared for the guy to refuse to get fucked or even to refuse to touch your dick; many of them affect this macho posturing. Remember that they've probably all been fucked themselves in the past by their older brothers or friends, so there's really no such thing as a Moroccan guy who hasn't been fucked - they just won't admit it. They put on this act of hyper-masculinity to assuage the prior shame. Insist on fucking the guy first if you are usually active. If he won't agree, tell him to go - or leave if you are at his place and DON'T pay him any money if you haven't done anything. Be firm. Face down threats of scandal or the police - if they actually were stupid enough to go to the police, the police would put them in a cell, fuck them, beat them up and get them 6 months! They all know this. Unfortunately, it's difficult to meet anything other than professional guys on the make, unless you are very lucky. I have had an 8 year relationship with a Moroccan guy and we're still going strong. Oh, and don't eat anywhere that is empty - the food'll be stale. And it’s quite safe to eat with the Moroccans in Place Djemma al-Fna in Marrakech – the food won’t make you sick (but watch your possessions and wallet)

In Casablanca , the whole old downtown "Centre-ville"
or "mdina" is a cruising area. For instance, the Place
des Nations Unis(5 min. from Casa-Port train station and
from the biggest downtown hotels) in front of the
Hyatt Regency, the cafe-restaurant Ramses, the cafe de
France , and the walking street "Prince Moulay
Abdellah", etc. Just have a walk in evenings and
week-end afternoons and you'll see by yourself. The
whole area can be walked around in 30/40 minutes. The
nicest bar in the downtown: La Bodega Bavaroise, a
tapas-bar, near Sheraton. Avoid the brasseries that
are numerous in the downtown, you don't want to go there
and you'll find lots of drunks and whores.

You also have the cruising area of the park of the
Arab League or just "le Parc", especially on Moulay
Youssef avenue (which is nice by the way, and the park
is the biggest of Casablanca ), you need the bit behind
"La Pergola du Parc" between the tennis courts and the
closed-down public lavatories.Nicest night place:
Le Karma (ex. Havana), a lounge-bar, in a street between
Moulay Youssef Avenue
and Alger Street, near Place of Ligue Arabe
(intersection Roudani, Moulay Youssef and Alger).

The commercial downtown, Maarif, is not really a
cruising area, but you'll certainly find gay people
around, especially in week-ends (eye-contact). Nicest
cafes: Venezia Ice, Le Repere (both in the Twin Center
area), L'Opera (Bir Anzarane Av.), Au Loft (Ali
Abderrazik St.), Art Manie (Bir Anzarane Av.), Cargo
(Espace Porte d'Anfa, Moulay Rachid Avenue) (the four
of them in the Complexe Sportif Mohammed 5th area)...
Nicest bars: Le Magnum (Bir Anzarane, near corner
Normandie), El Rancho (Bir Anzarane, near corner Ali
Abderrazik, Complexe Mohammed 5th area), O'Zen ( Twin
Center area).

The seashore or most commonly "Ain Diab" is huge and
cruising on the most interesting 5 or 7 km allows lots
of eye-contact and nice encounters. Hot times:
week-end afternoons and evenings, shiny Sunday
mornings. Many night-clubs and clubs. None is really
gay, but it's very gay-friendly, especially "Le
Village" which is openly gay-friendly on week-ends.
Follow your instinct! Nicest cafes/bars: Le Calypso,
The O'Reme Beach (or Theo'Beach). Nicest Places:
L'Armstrong, Le Barosa (ex. Jimmy's), Le Manhattan, La
Reserve, Le VIP, Villa Fandango, Le Vogue, La Bodega
Revolver... Nice restaurants too.

Other nice places exist, but they are in the previous
areas, but you may wanna try L'Annexe, a
bar-restaurant, in the CIL (Hay Arraha), on the corner
of Gandhi and Ibn Sina.

Some hammams (public Turkish baths) are more
gay-friendly that others (Hammam Karachi, Karachi
Street , in the downtown, between Place Bandoeng and
Mohammed 5th Boulevard ), but I can't help you more.

Some of these places may have closed down, but the
areas will still be fine for cruising; just use your common
sense. If the names have changed, the cafes etc may well still be gay.

Marrakesh is openly gay-friendly, especially the
hotels, the old downtown (Place Jamaa El Fna) and
nearly any nice cafe in the Gueliz (new touristic
area). The most gay night-club is certainly "Diamant
Noir" between Gueliz and Jamaa El Fna. But beware that
Marrakchi gays may be harassing, especially if they
are "convinced" that you are gay. Beware, too, that
not all Marrakchi gays are really gay. They can be
straight but be tops with men, and are often gigolos.
Unfortunately, this is the case all over Morocco , but
seems worst in Marrakech.


A word about Moroccan sexuality. It is hugely shameful to take the
passive role in Moroccan society. Men who fuck other men ( as long as
they fuck women too) are admired more than anything else. To the same
degree, men who get fucked are despised, even by their ( so-called
straight) partners. Any Moroccan man you meet, apart from obviously
effeminate ones, will insist they have never been fucked and will
only fuck you. This is a lie. Most Moroccan guys have had sex with
other men and during their youth, this sex will almost certainly have
included getting fucked by an older friend, relative, brother etc -
or a stranger for money. If you wish to take the passive role - and
don't mind being despised by your partner - then you will have a good
time. If you wish to be active, there is no problem, as long as the
Moroccan can be sure no one will ever find out. He'll say something
like "This is my 1st time, you know, and I'm only doing it because
you're special" and you have to look suitably
impressed. If you wish to be active and the guy refuses, then tell
him to go away - and DON'T pay him any money, even if he makes a
fuss. He won't make too much of a fuss for fear of going to prison
for troubling a tourist. Lastly, although virtually every guy knows how to fuck, i.e.
thrust, few know or care about foreplay. They have this idea that
their pricks are all that's needed for someone else's pleasure. If
you take the passive role, don't expect the guy even to wank you off -
you certainly won't get a blow-job. And if you wish to be active,
DON'T touch the guys prick. Doing so signifies that you want to be
fucked, so it confuses them terribly if you've already said you want
to be active. And you have to make it clear 1st that you want to
fuck - if you do. With this lack of foreplay, they have you turned
round and are trying for your arse before you've even got a hard-on.
Just be firm. When they say "Moroccans don't suck or get fucked",
just keep the idea in your head that in that case, no one would ever
learn how to do it as girls are more or less unavailable. They've had
to have been doing it with other Moroccans, but in secret.

[Sexmocro]

Hey everyoné,
I'm now on vacation in Morocco and was wondering where in Tetouan or a city near Tetouan I could find cute guys to have sex with (top guys), tnx you.

[LaDuqesa]

Anywhere. Didn't my post make it clear? Most guys are up for it - and they love being - or pretending to be - tops. Just make eye contact, but try not to pull an obvious rent boy!

And keep your possessions secure.

Good luck.

Youssef avenue (which is nice by the way, and the park
is the biggest of Casablanca ), you need the bit behind
"La Pergola du Parc" between the tennis courts and the
closed-down public lavatories.Nicest night place:
Le Karma (ex. Havana), a lounge-bar, in a street between
Moulay Youssef Avenue
and Alger Street, near Place of Ligue Arabe
(intersection Roudani, Moulay Youssef and Alger).

The commercial downtown, Maarif, is not really a
cruising area, but you'll certainly find gay people
around, especially in week-ends (eye-contact). Nicest
cafes: Venezia Ice, Le Repere (both in the Twin Center
area), L'Opera (Bir Anzarane Av.), Au Loft (Ali
Abderrazik St.), Art Manie (Bir Anzarane Av.), Cargo
(Espace Porte d'Anfa, Moulay Rachid Avenue) (the four
of them in the Complexe Sportif Mohammed 5th area)...
Nicest bars: Le Magnum (Bir Anzarane, near corner
Normandie), El Rancho (Bir Anzarane, near corner Ali
Abderrazik, Complexe Mohammed 5th area), O'Zen ( Twin
Center area).

The seashore or most commonly "Ain Diab" is huge and
cruising on the most interesting 5 or 7 km allows lots
of eye-contact and nice encounters. Hot times:
week-end afternoons and evenings, shiny Sunday
mornings. Many night-clubs and clubs. None is really
gay, but it's very gay-friendly, especially "Le
Village" which is openly gay-friendly on week-ends.
Follow your instinct! Nicest cafes/bars: Le Calypso,
The O'Reme Beach (or Theo'Beach). Nicest Places:
L'Armstrong, Le Barosa (ex. Jimmy's), Le Manhattan, La
Reserve, Le VIP, Villa Fandango, Le Vogue, La Bodega
Revolver... Nice restaurants too.

Other nice places exist, but they are in the previous
areas, but you may wanna try L'Annexe, a
bar-restaurant, in the CIL (Hay Arraha), on the corner
of Gandhi and Ibn Sina.

Some hammams (public Turkish baths) are more
gay-friendly that others (Hammam Karachi, Karachi
Street , in the downtown, between Place Bandoeng and
Mohammed 5th Boulevard ), but I can't help you more.

Some of these places may have closed down, but the
areas will still be fine for cruising; just use your common
sense. If the names have changed, the cafes etc may well still be gay.

Marrakesh is openly gay-friendly, especially the
hotels, the old downtown (Place Jamaa El Fna) and
nearly any nice cafe in the Gueliz (new touristic
area). The most gay night-club is certainly "Diamant
Noir" between Gueliz and Jamaa El Fna. But beware that
Marrakchi gays may be harassing, especially if they
are "convinced" that you are gay. Beware, too, that
not all Marrakchi gays are really gay. They can be
straight but be tops with men, and are often gigolos.
Unfortunately, this is the case all over Morocco , but
seems worst in Marrakech.


A word about Moroccan sexuality. It is hugely shameful to take the
passive role in Moroccan society. Men who fuck other men ( as long as
they fuck women too) are admired more than anything else. To the same
degree, men who get fucked are despised, even by their ( so-called
straight) partners. Any Moroccan man you meet, apart from obviously
effeminate ones, will insist they have never been fucked and will
only fuck you. This is a lie. Most Moroccan guys have had sex with
other men and during their youth, this sex will almost certainly have
included getting fucked by an older friend, relative, brother etc -
or a stranger for money. If you wish to take the passive role - and
don't mind being despised by your partner - then you will have a good
time. If you wish to be active, there is no problem, as long as the
Moroccan can be sure no one will ever find out. He'll say something
like "This is my 1st time, you know, and I'm only doing it because
you're special" and you have to look suitably
impressed. If you wish to be active and the guy refuses, then tell
him to go away - and DON'T pay him any money, even if he makes a
fuss. He won't make too much of a fuss for fear of going to prison
for troubling a tourist. Lastly, although virtually every guy knows how to fuck, i.e.
thrust, few know or care about foreplay. They have this idea that
their pricks are all that's needed for someone else's pleasure. If
you take the passive role, don't expect the guy even to wank you off -
you certainly won't get a blow-job. And if you wish to be active,
DON'T touch the guys prick. Doing so signifies that you want to be
fucked, so it confuses them terribly if you've already said you want
to be active. And you have to make it clear 1st that you want to
fuck - if you do. With this lack of foreplay, they have you turned
round and are trying for your arse before you've even got a hard-on.
Just be firm. When they say "Moroccans don't suck or get fucked",
just keep the idea in your head that in that case, no one would ever
learn how to do it as girls are more or less unavailable. They've had
to have been doing it with other Moroccans, but in secret.

Very interesting post LaDuqesa. I already knew most of what you wrote but the part about Moroccan guys usually having been fucked was new to me. It all makes sense now that I think about it though. I do think though that there might be a difference between Moroccans growing up in Morocco and Moroccans growing up in Europe for example? Anyway, I now sort of understand why there are many 'straight top Moroccans' who eventually ask me to fuck them, which I never do by the way.

Thanks for your post. I hope to hear/read a lot more from you!

[LaDuqesa]

There might be a difference between the way guys are brought up in Europe and in Morocco, but I still think they get fucked by their brothers on occasion; the scope to have sex with others outside the family for money - and remember, we're talking about 12 to 16 years olds here, which is the age that older Moroccan men prefer their boys - is much less. Few people would dare to risk paedophilia accusations and penalties, even other Moroccans. There is also far more access to women in the West, although they despise Western women almost as much as gay men. So it's harder to find a Moroccan guy to fuck in Europe. The previous history just isn't there.

Yes, I've been told before that many "straight" Moroccan guys ask to be fucked, especially after they've established what they think is some dominance by having fucked the other guy first. And they'll still pretend it's a big favour. Tourists are very useful to these guys! There's little chance that they'll be found out taking the passive role they are secretly longing for. If they were to be known as passive and to act on this in a Moroccan town with a Moroccan, even a stranger, their friends and family would very soon know - Moroccans can't keep discreet about sex.

I'm overwhelmingly active and do have some trouble getting a guy to let himself be fucked. But you have to be assertive and I've learned their dominance games over the years. It's fun.

Avenue de la victoire (chari3 an-nasr) has long been famous for its gay people. Today, I think their number decreased but you can still see some of them around that area (or gare de rabat ville like if you were heading towards Avenue Ibn Toumart).

There is also jardin du tringle de vue (next to Theatre Mohamed V) where you can come across a number of gays (however, many of them seem to be very feminine; I am not into such type of guys).

Anyone has moreplaces of gays in Rabat or Morocco in general?

[LaDuqesa]

There are plenty of cruising places in El Jadida. The whole of the promenade along the sea is cruisy at night; a lot of the boys though are simply rent and not very pleasant. Many are beautiful though. The gardens opposite Café la Chope are cruisy day and night.

There's also what me and my European friends call Tranny Corner, one block down from the Hotel Suisse. A few daring guys hang out there in make-up, some even in frocks. Unfortunately, the police busted them a year or so ago; most were raped, all were beaten up.

If you're brave, take a walk round the Cité Portuguese at night. It's the criminal heartland of El Jadida, but the boys....Be careful though.

[LaDuqesa]

ButtyBoy - interesting posts. My advice as a non Arab resident of Morocco? Agadir is uninteresting to say the least IMHO.

And Merlin, please don't offer money. This only encourages prostitution among not necessarily gay men. A gift (phone card, watch for example) is fine.

I hate, hate, hate this prim "don't give money" attitude. Imagine the life, if you will, of a young guy earning 200 dirhams a week or worse, unemployed. That"s 14 quid in my money. After rent, food, maybe a film, he"ll have virtually nothing. 14 pounds a week remember. I earn more than that an hour.

For a young Moroccan to be able to lose himself with someone from where they'll never go, partake in their life for a short time - and most have a good time with us, despite their hangups about bottoms - and go away with no financial worries is a wonderful gift to give someone. A phonecard? Why give the guy the hassle of selling it?

i acnt believe you cant take any locals into your hotels --- even he more upsvale ones dont allow??

[LaDuqesa]

i acnt believe you cant take any locals into your hotels --- even he more upsvale ones dont allow??

The more chic and expensive hotels are the only ones that will let a guy up to the room nowadays without a struggle. They will insist on retaining the Moroccan's ID Card till he leaves and also that you see him off the premises (presumably to make sure you"re ok). The reception staff dealing with your request will expect at least 50 dirhams bribe.

[dingen]

there is a nice hotel ,called fashion,it is on tje hassan 2 boulevard in marrakesh.it cost now in summer 58 euros a 2 persons room,it has eveything,massage swimmingpool on the roof and so on, Good luck

[8thfloorben]

I don't know this for sure as we hired a (small) private Riad, but I read that you can get a 'visiting nephew' to your hotel room. Probably difficult to explain if you are as pale as this Englishman!

[esscargo]

The guys are suppsed to be very hot in Morocco but is it safe there?

[palacefan]

its very safe in marocco. i walk home from clubs at 3am sometimes

[vinhop99]

Moroccan law prohibits sexual acts between people of the same gender. Officially, society views homosexuals with the same contempt as prostitutes. Yet, like prostitution, gay sex is very much a part of that same society.

Morocco has become something of a gay destination, particularly Marrakech and Agadir ,There are no gay bars or nightclubs in Morocco, but there are places that attract a large gay clientele, In Casablanca, the Café de France opposite the Hyatt Regency hotel is a well-known meeting place, as are some of the clubs on the ocean front boulevard de la Corniche, notably the Fibule.

In Marrakech, the Café des Negociants on Place Abdelmoumen Benali is known as a cruising area. A popular club among gays in Agadir is Jimmy's. Other cities are less popular among tourists looking for gay entertainment. Tangier, on the other hand, has a longstanding tradition in this area.

A hammam, or bathhouse, is not a good place to cruise. Despite the heat and partial nudity, any hint of sexual intentions will go down very badly with most of the visitors. Performing actual sexual acts in a hammam will cause extreme offense....
i was once walking in marrakesh when two boys came to me and immediately offered me a banana massage, i had never heard the term before,but it soon became evident!

[scarlet]

feel free to give us the full details of the ''banana massage''

:):):):)

[hotbot]

Thanks LaDugesa for your interesting insights and posts. It is really helpful.

So did you meet your Moroccan friends in Morocco or elsewhere?

[tiffany_tv]

Thanks for your wonderful mini guide on Morocco, one of the best that i have read.

My own experience of Marrakech in October 2007 is as follows.......

The small garden area in the vicinity of the walls of the Koutoubia Mosque tower is very cruisy. Guys sit on the benches and will strike up conversation. Unfortunately, NONE of them have anywhere to go and you cannot take them to your hotel, so , it all becomes a bit pointless. Also , the majority of them will want money , even if you have somewhere to go.
You will also be cruised and approached on the road running to and from the Medina past this tower, again , these will probably be guys looking for money for sex and you will run into the same problem of nowhere to go.
Do not fall for the old trick that they "know of a hotel in the Medina and if you give them the money they can book a room for you and a room for them and then you can "sneak" into eachothers room". They will indeed convince you and even walk as far with you as one of these hotels, but , with your money in hand , as if they are about to enter to pay for the rooms, they will disappear with your cash , never to be seen again.

I was fortunate enough to meet what seemed to be a genuine guy (mind you , they all seem genuine !) and decided to take a VERY long walk with him to somewhere where he knew it was outdoor and secluded. It was indeed - we ended up in an undeveloped block of scrub land, opposite the Casino on Avenue De La Menara. It was mostly scrub land with rows of low trees in the centre. Be careful to trust anyone you venture into there with though, as you are quite a long distance from the road. It is pitch black and we managed to have an undisturbed ,unhurried session together. Naturally, although money was never mentioned before the "act" , he demanded it afterward. I am sure he was prepared for threats and intimidation to get his money , however , he did not need to get that far with me as i personally decide before getting into these kind of encounters that i am going to give them a "gift" of money anyway !!! They are very poor in relation to our Western Standards and i do like giving and helping them. I never pay more than the equivalent of 10 USD in anycase , so , it is nothing to me.

By the third day in Marrakesh , to be honest , you are fed up with the boys trying to pick you up. You have gone through the motions with at least a dozen boys on day one and day two so by day three it actually becomes a nuisance! It is ONLY a nuisance because they have nowhere to go and they are not allowed in your hotel , so , it is all a bit futile and a massive waste of time.

If you can secure yourself a private apartment that has no security guard and no "nosy neighbours" then maybe you will be able to entertain your new found friends. ALWAYS expect to give them money though and always stay in the same room as them (don't even leave them out of your site for 30 seconds to perhaps go to the bathroom to clean up) as as sure as night follows day you can expect something of yours to have been stolen. They steal only to be able to sell something on and make some more money for their meager income , they are not going to steal your ipod just to parade around the city using it and looking cool !!!

Most of the above can also be applied to Egypt and Tunisia also - i'll write reports about my travels there in the relevant sections when i have time .

[QUOTE=LaDuqesa;3609]I hope that this are useful. I hope that they do not sound too negative; most of the bad things I mention will not happen, but you must be prepared............... etc....etc.....

I wonder if Morrocans would like to meet Matured Asian man?

I am and old volumptuous asian man but I have a star-struck eye for the beautiful elements of the universe especially those found in ARabia world!!

I think Morocco is my nest stop

[goloco]

[Spoggit]

As a long term resident of Morocco I agree with the last few posts.

[LaDuqesa]

The post that mentioned going to the secluded spot in Marrakech was very interesting. It's something I wouldn't advise our more elderly or frail readers to do, however! Most of these "boys" - actually young men - are perfectly prepared to intimidate and threaten afterwards if they think the reward wasn't good enough (especialy if someone is so stupid as to offer goods rather than money), even if the sex was fantastic for both of you.

A friend of mine in El Jadida once took a youth back to his flat. The lad had been there before, was "serviable" (obliging) and charged 100DH (£7). I got a panicked message from my friend saying that he'd caught this boy going through his cupboards and that he was refusing to leave until he got 1000DH.The boy had said that he was in such financial trouble that he didn't care about the police; he was so screwed that he might as well go to prison and let everyone know he'd been fucked.

Both my friend and I might've been sympathetic, except for the attempt at theft from the cupboards and the aggressive attitude. After a lot of discussion involving a couple of Moroccan friends who'd passed by unexpectedly and threats from us to involve the police as a last resort as we wouldn't be sent to prison in any case as we'd pay a bribe, resulted in a stalemate. He just kept saying he wouldn't leave. I said that I'd call some other friends, one of whom was a bouncer at one of the more notorious bars in town and get him out by force and this would probably lead to the police being called by the neighbours anyway. I added that we were prepared to give him an extra 50DH (£3.50) just to get rid of him. Thankfully, he agreed. He took the money and as he was leaving, he produced a large knife from his back pocket, sayng that he'd've used it if he'd not got any extra money at all.

I don't know if he would've or not. What this story shows is that boys you think you might even "know", can be absolute bastards and dislike you from the start despite the superficial friendliness; they ARE convincing, as one poster upthread mentioned. I can't stress how careful you have to be not to leave belongings and/or money around, nor to really trust a boy until you've known him a good long time - and even then, one can't be sure.

[traveller99]

I was there in june and was proposition as i was going into my Riad , was able to sneak him in as was in an annex across from main riad , wanted money of course and gave him some, best to agree on price before any action and barter its expected .

Arab man are hard to find, Im looking for one in Groningen.

[jnussbau]

I met a very nice guy while I was in Marrakech. We met at Le Diamant Noir, a place I actually found a bit disappointing and posted about in another forum. Anyway, I usually like older guys, but he was my age and absolutely gorgeous and totally "normal". He was an amazing dancer and we kept making eye contact. Finally, we got to talking. He was a very nice, strapping lad. He said he knew a secluded spot, but we should leave the club separately so as not to attract attention. I made it clear that I did not have any extra money, and he was fine with that.

It was about 3:30am so possible to find a secluded place. We ended up in the corner of the courtyard of some building. Not very romantic - but at the same time it was. It was really beautiful. I paid for his taxi home since he lived outside the city. I now just hope he will send me an email someday.

Anyway, my point is that there are some "normal" guys out there, although it is true there are so many hustlers and almost impossible to tell the difference. Going to a club/disco makes a difference because cover charge tends to be steep (10-20 EUR) so guys there will not be desperately poor. Also late at night, it is possible to find a discreet place, although too much after 4am and daybreak and this becomes difficult. Also you must just be clear and assertive in advance about whether you want to pay or not. Stand firm, look into his eyes, and clarify this a second time for good measure - in advance.

So after reading all these posts, I just wanted to point out there are some nice guys in Morocco who are also just looking for a good time. It is true you must always be on your guard, but you too might also get lucky. :)

[ferimen50]

I have been to Morocco many times, and have also lived there. I had an unpleasant experience two years ago, precisely with a guy I had met a year earlier but with whom we had only had a drink, as I did not want to have paying sex. He warned me at the time not to invite anyone to my appartment for there were guys who could become mean. The next year i met him by chance at the cafe des negotiants, and he asked me where I was staying, and I invited him to come over for a drink. I was traveling with a Moroccan friend and staying with him in an appartment. This guy showed up, and started, as soon as I served him a drink, to ask for money. He knew there was to be no sex, for I was not interested in it. He started breaking glasses and threatened to break everything in the apt. then i gor money out and asked him to leave, and still screaming, he left. There can be violence implied, so just watch out, it is not always safe, and some crimes have been committed, not only thefts.

[ButtyBoy]

It makes me so sad that it is simply impossible to trust someone as people can have two faces :-( I'm sorry about your experience and that you had to go through that. I hope yuo can still enjoy.

[serieusboy]

so looking forward to geting your answer as soon as possibl

[txsalsa]

When is the best time to visit Morocco? I was thinking going around December or January on Tour.

I have been to other Arab countries and never had a problem finding someone. Actually they approach me. I sometime travel on my own and many of my best experiences come from hotel employees from kitchen staff to waiters to reception to managers and it is just constant. Some of them just go knock on my door because they want to chat and we end up having a steamy time together. Many of them I have met their parents, wife and children. I do not know if my looks excite them. I am not fem at all. I do understand arab culture very well. Many of my friends say I have Spanish / Arab Mediterranean features. I do not have Arab blood that I know of but it may have been carried throughout my family history. In Egypt even domestic airport security whispers an invitation into my ear. In Palestine small notes were passed on to me as an invitation. The list just go ons.

I am really surprised that hammams are not for sex, as it seems like the perfect place. So, these are really for getting clean (and nothing else)?

[ButtyBoy]

I am really surprised that you assumed that hamams ARE for sex. A bathhouse is just a bathhouse.. And yes they are for getting clean and nothing else (although the bathing ritual probable means more than just physically getting clean). I wouldn't recommend to try anything else.... Unless of course you are in a 'sex hamam' but there aren't many of those. If you see fathers with their young sons then I think you can assume that you are in a regular hamam..

[hornyass22]

i ll be so happy to show you some nice places
i m bottom from casablanca, send me a msg

[ferimen50]

anytime is fine, depending on where you visit... the north can be visited from March to November and the south from April to May and then from sept to NOvember, if you want to avoid the hot days... otherwise, anytime is fine. Just be careful with male prostitutes, they can be mean and nasty... but the police may protect you, although there the police is also corrupt in many instances...

Well, I'm not so sure if it is a good idea to go during Ramadan and Ramadan is very early this year, at the end of the summer...
