Montreal Mourning

I spoke before about the slow yet eminent death of off-line cruising, specifically in the UK. Well, to my utter anguish and gnashing of teeth, the same is coming to pass (as the Mormons say) in Montreal. Two of my all-time favorite spots; the restrooms at La Cite and the park of Maissoneuve have now been spoiled. During my visit to Montreal for work, I took the weekend to stay with my friend Kev-bo. The first night we both decided to do some cruising at Maissoneuve. While the selection was definitely not "fresh", I did manage to hook-up with a cyclist, get a condom on, and start out pumping his ass. Less than a minute into my fucking, the lights from a police terrain vehicle started about 50 metres from us and we were set-upon by other police who no doubt were watching us with night-vision. I was able to zip up, tear off like a bat out of hell and lose them through the trees, then circled the park for about 1/2 hour (and it's a big park) looking for Kev-bo until we finally met up at our rendezvous point, where he relayed to me he had been stopped by police as well (but he hadn't been doing anything other than sauntering). NOT a good experience.

While it was great to see Kev-bo, and I did finally get to see his house (albeit heavily under construction) he was very distracted with his own business obligations, so I wanted to ensure he got enough time to do what he needed. I started online and just could NOT understand the rythm of the Montrealers; they all seemed flakey, or wanted to bring a friend, or would only do it if "X", or whatever. After about 1 1/2 online, I finally started saying, "dude, here's the address. Come over or don't." then stopped responding. Here's the punchline; starting about 1 hour later, a steady stream of ugly (not their real pics obviously), twinky, clueless and even hot guys started knocking at the door (5 in total). Yet because some were hoping for a 3-way, while others were not, and others still just wanted to fuck with my head apparently, I only FINALLY ended up actually fucking ONE Montrealer...and it was NOTHING to write home about. And here's something which has NEVER happened before; one of the guys was apparently so pissed off at me that he called an ESCORT service and sent some dude over. When the guy came up, I was like, "Hmmm, don't remember talking to this guy, but whatever." and we started pawing at each other. He then said, "so, I usually ask for the money up front." I was totally caught off guard and it took about a minute of VERY awkward conversation to figure out I had been the brunt of a prank. Not fun at all. For me or him.

The next night I went out in order to avoid any SEMBLANCE of a repeat and ended up fucking a nice Asian guy with a very hot ass. But...yeah...made it up to Montreal for some fish-bone. Wasn't how I envisioned the vacation. And the overall feel has definitely become more of a stressful big-city, and less of the laissez-faire, bohemian enclave that it used to be. So, bottom line is this; if you are into oggling straight guys who will feign interest in you so you will pay them to dance naked on your lap, then Montreal is definitely the place for you. But it is definitely not the same city I fell in love with last decade. No desire to return anytime soon, especially because Kev-bo seems to be traveling here so often.

Since I've been back, I have been extremely busy at work. I have gotten in some boning, but just my regulars, and no new pics (really haven't been concentrating on that). I'll ensure my next post has a couple pics and some more uplifting stories. But for my readers out there, just consider this a traveling tale of caution.
