    Hey guys.

    Not sure if this is the right forum to be posting this. If not, I apologise.

    I'm going to albufeira in algarve on my own in May and I'm wondering whats the sex scene like there. I'm 23 and a closet gay. Just wondering is there any sex stuff to do Sex saunas and that stuff (like what you'd see on sexcetera and all that). Has anybody been there? Closet gay here who would love to do some stuff out there. By the way I wouldnt be interested in anything camp Thanks everybody. Hope you all had a nice easter.

    Well I have no idea as i have never been to the place or indeed the country! But I would imagine google would throw up some info! And may I just say to you be careful and sensible at all times! Fine you want to engage in anon sex but this can be dangerous, let alone in a foreign country, especially when you are alone.

    I've been there once on a night out - a couple of us hopped in the car out of mischief and went over. From a gay-scene point of view - the whole place is pretty much 'anything goes', usual sun holiday resort vibe, just with the gay factor turned up a notch or two. Gay Saunas or random sex are not my thing at all but that's just me so I can't say what the town is like for that kind of thing - Google will help you out no doubt. It's good fun in Albufeira I'll admit but I'll be sticking to Quinta / Vale do Lobo when in Portugal.
    And may I just say to you be careful and sensible at all times!

    So what would you portray yourself then?
    and also what exactly did you mean by "By the way I wouldnt be interested in anything camp"?

    It means thatHe wouldn't be interested in anything camp.

    Did the increased bold-font explain it a little better? Everyone has their preferences and some guys find campness irritating and/or unattractive. There's nothing wrong with that. Who the hell are you to judge what another guy likes in guys? Ridiculous overly-defensive comment there. :rolleyes:

    My partner and I travel there this month for a holiday. From my searches, not much is happening. Best bet is the apps. Will let your know if we have any trips from our break.

    Firstly,speaking as a "non" camp guy I must thank you for your patronising ,shouting comment.
    Kindly point out where exactly,I was "judgeing " the OP and where exactly my comment was a "ridiculous overly- defensive comment"
    Perhaps it is you who is "judgeing" and being "ridiculous"

    I'm not being smart or dismissive but have you googled it?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I'm going to Portugal tomorrow, just wondering if any crusing areas, beach or woods, probably not the best time of year to go, but can't change that now.
