Eros gone

[Old git]

The LGBT lobby is becoming a victim of its own success. When it was fighting for an oppressed minority, it's participants had common cause, made the effort to congregate in the same places, and in the early days even developed a covert language, Polari.

It is far more acceptable now to be openly gay in venues that are not sexuality specific, with the result that gay bars, and gay hotels in particular, no longer have a monopoly on the pink pound, dollar or baht.

All to the good in one respect, but there will be plenty of nostalgia amongst those who forget the homophobia of old.

Going forward, the solution is to re-think the model. Replace grimy bars with brain numbing muzak and disinterested greedy boys with clean elegant classy establishments where the boys are made to feel like professionals, encouraged to learn the techniques of both erotic dancing and servicing their customers as an art form to be perfected..

Of course, there’s always the possibility that Eros and Goodboys are just waiting for the high season.
But that appears to be quite short these days, so who knows?

I live in hope.

Hope they saved your knee pads.

The majority of boys already service their customers very very well.

What you're talking about is available in Japan but if you want classy and elegant bars you're going to lose the fun.

And to those who swapped their licences to party for a civil partnership, a couple of IVFd surrogated sprogs and the weird notion of both saying 'my husband'.
WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?

I just saw it on gaybutton. Eros has finally closed.

That’s most probably the end of Sunee. Surely it can’t carry on.

Unbelievable.

Very sad news indeed. Does this mean you'll have to look for a new venue for your (ahem) live performances?

Hope they saved your knee pads.

I'm just hoping that if it IS closed that they'll have at least burnt the cushions as I'm sure that A447 wouldn't want to cum across one of THOSE again on his travels !

Nonsense! He collects them as mementos and brings them home.

At least clients there wouldn't have to worry about how to mount such mementos to their walls as one good dose of applied spit and they'd stick there for life ! :-)

Yes, just like Eros bar

Lol

Probably too soon to burn them anyway - they need time to dry out.

And what about those sofas? Are they planning on putting them up for sale? Eeeeew!!

Or worse still, will they reappear in some other bar?

Since finding my regular guy (in Eros, btw) I haven't spent much time there for years, apart from a few quick visits to see my favorites there. Unfortunately, they had mostly moved on and the new guys were not my type.

Still, it's sad to see them lose their jobs. Maybe some can look for openings, so to speak, in Nice Boys.

And was Eros open?

What about Goodboys?

No.
