While checking out the sauna’s in Vienna the other day I came across a real jewel of a place. I had the real pleasure of finding a wonderful place to relax and unload all my tensions the other day. Yes Vienna has a number of Sauna’s located all over the place but one you should not miss is the Sauna Frisco. http://www.sauna-frisco.at It is located at Schonbrunner Strasse 28 / 1050 Wien. It is close to all the bars like the Alte Lampe and right near Hosi a gay organization that does a lot of wonderful things for the Gay community. It also is located right off several of the bus, tram and subway lines.

Take a Video tour of the Sauna Frisco…and see what everyone raves about. It is the personal treatment and cleanliness of this Sauna that will keep you coming back time after time. The staff and management are just wonderful and treat everyone like family. This may not be the biggest sauna in Wien but it sure makes you feel welcome as soon as you step in the door.
If you just want to get away from the everyday stress and relax in so many different wonderful ways I can’t recommend this place more. I believe that they are the only gay sauna in the Vienna area with a hot tub-whirlpool and a special bio sauna and as you can see when you go to their site so much more to offer every one of all ages. They have a great masseuse and very reasonable prices of only 45 Euro for a full hour massage that made me feel like a million dollars. It is a GREAT PLACE to have a drink also. It has a full bar. I had a special drink that had Aloe in it and it was wonderful. When you go there you have to give it a try. Also with our beer and drinks we had complementary chips and snacks that were brought there from Hungary. If you become hungry they also have a special of the day all at a really GREAT LOW price.
They are open every day but Tuesday and you can’t beat the entrance price of 14 Euro per person and 8 Euro after 9 p.m. or on Monday 2 can get in each with a locker for only 18 Euro. Manny and I give this place gets 5 stars out of 5 for its friendly staff and cleanliness and also a GREAT place to meet new friends. There is something for every age and taste from relaxation rooms, Movie room, Sauna, Steam rooms, a sling room and so much more upstairs for your pleasure and enjoyment. Don’t miss this truly home town feeling Sauna. I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re in Vienna you have to try this place out if you haven’t already done so. You might even see Manny and me there.

About a week ago I found a very interesting Blog, which fits into this site very well. Go there and read what this MD has to say about gay and also about seniors and relationship with seniors. I was very thrilled reading through the site. Also have a look to the links, most of them are also very interesting. May be you like it too – please tell us what you think.

Here just some lines from the blog owner - L Olson MD

Loren Olson MD

“For some men, the sexual attraction to another man is unexpected, unwanted and yet unavoidable. Like a moth to a flame, some men are magnetically drawn to other men, often after having made considerable efforts made to resist it. It is like a magnetic fire.

Mature gay men are a diverse group and include all ethnicities, religions, and socio-economic and political groups. For mature gay men who have delayed coming out until mid-life, coming out is much different than it is for younger men.

It is my goal to help others remove some of the psychological barriers so they may reach harmony and peace within and in relationship to others. Since your experiences are important and a largely neglected part of social research, I look forward to hearing from  you.

Come, join with me in the search for understanding, acceptance and reconciliation.”

“A non-scientific survey done by a convenience sampling of younger men a few years ago found that the thing which attracted younger men to older men most often was “looks, demeanor and physique,” but the looks they are attracted to aren’t what the stereotype would predict. “Looks” was followed by “sexuality,” “wisdom and experience,” and “softness.” Lowest on the list were “money” and “stability.”

These findings may surprise older men who suspicious of the motives of the younger man and find it difficult to trust that those handsome young men are seriously interested in them for their looks, wisdom and softness. They have become used to seeing themselves as older men who have lost some, if not a lot, of their vitality, and many detest the changes in their bodies, expecting that any potential partner would abhor them just as much. Many are surprised that their physical appearance is precisely what the younger man finds attractive. As one young man said, however, “Mature men just make me horny.”

The other night Manny and I stopped by to visit some of our old friends at one of the most interesting and exciting members only clothing optional bottle  club in the FT Lauderdale area of South Florida. The Eagle.        http://www.ftleagle.com

Your Hosts for an evening of pleasure you won’t forget for a long time

Some of you might remember the very popular and fun members only bottle club called the Eagle on Sample Road in Ft Lauderdale Florida that closed down almost a year ago. It was not closed by the city or raided. It was closed due to the fact that the building was sold and the club was not notified that it was sold and because of this and other problems with their landlord wanting to do something else with the property they were not able to renew their lease. But as you might have guessed it took a little while to locate a new and better location. Well they finally did find a much nicer location and are now is open again BIGGER and BETTER than ever.  Now they really have enough room to grow.
Its new location is GREAT and it’s near all the action in the Wilton Manors area. But it has something that all the other clubs and bars don’t have, a really great place, evenings ( Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday ) to unload all your frustrations of a Hard day at the office or at home from 8P.M. to the wee hours of the morning.  It’s a GREAT PLACE to meat friends or make new ones. It’s also a Terrific place to go for that after hour’s fun and games. The memberships are priced for all pockets and you never know what will happen or who will be there.  Check it out you can come into this unique club on a nightly basis or save a lot of money and join for a year. A year full of surprises and I guarantee that you won’t be sorry you joined or visited with Check your inhibitions and clothes at the door and get ready to party.
You never know when Manny and I will be there to party with you. It’s a very mixed crowd and you will feel right at home. Check it out I know you wont regret it and I also know you will cum back more often.
Hope to see you there soon.

Miss Ginger Diamond with friends

Kurzer Kommentar in Deutsch am Ende des Artikels

Last evening Manny and I and a friend of ours named Chris had a wonderful time together in a club that is a Living legend in Vienna known as the Alte Lampe. It had a warm friendly atmosphere of fun, good friends and to top it off a Great show and free buffet a free raffle and wonderful Senior and admirer eye candy. You have to go real far to beat that combination.
We got there about 21:00 9p.m. for those who aren’t on Vienna time. The place was already packed with people from all over the world. We sat down and ordered our drinks and chatted with some of the interesting people who were at our table and in the Club. They have a GREAT drink menu and also a very nice menu for those who would like a little something to eat. The service was very good always available when you needed it.

Garry - variable group member

The Club was dressed in its finest fall attire. It was really nice to see fall decorations in Austria. In Florida where we also live part time at this time of the year already has New Years on our mind. Then at around 10 p.m. 22:00 the lights dimmed and the music started. The announcer came out on the stage and told us a little about the Star of the evening Miss Ginger Diamond and her fellow entertainers. He also sang ( live ) the Third Man Theme. Then out from the shadows came a very beautiful statuesque figure named Miss Ginger Diamond. Well needless to say we were really entertained with some of the finest in 50’s and 60’s songs done very well, I must add. The entertainers had us signing, laughing and got us really involved in the show. I hope you enjoy the photos we took.

Then after the entertainment was over they had a free raffle and Chris won one of the prizes. But after the drawing the Manager announced that everyone there was a winner and everyonegot a free shot on the house.

Richard, the boss with an assistant

I can truthfully say that everyone there was a winner. All and all we had a really great time and I know we will be coming back more often to enjoy all the great things the Alte Lampe has to offer. Please check out their web site for updates on coming specials, parties and evenings in the holiday months and throughout the year. Who knows we might just meet you there in person. If you’re in the Vienna area don’t pass up the opportunity to stop by and say Hi. Tell them Rob and Manny sent you. You won’t be disappointed. Check out the link on our links area of the site. Also you can look for some of the Management of the club in our personal area. I guarantee you will have a great time meeting Great people and enjoying the food drinks and atmosphere of Vienna’s own “Alte Lampe”.

Show und Buffet in der "Alten Lampe"

Endlich gibt es wieder in Wien ein nettes Lokal für Senioren. Die ‚Alte Lampe‘ schließt an ihre Tradition an und bietet, uns etwas in die Jahre gekommenen Schwulen, „Wien’s wärmstes Wohnzimmer“. Wir waren seit einigen Jahren wieder in meinem Stammlokal und waren überrascht wie gemütlich es wieder war. Richard und sein Partner bemühen sich sehr um ihre Gäste – der freundliche Kellner war immer da wenn jemand etwas bestellen wollte.
Gestern Freitag war eine Show mit „Musikalisches der 50er und 60er Jahren“ mit Miss Ginger Diamond und zwei weiteren „Showmen“. Anschließend war ein Gratisbuffet und Tombola. Die, welche bei der Tombola nicht gewonnen haben, bekamen dann noch ein Schnapserl – also für Jeden etwas – bei FREIEM Eintritt.
Ich freue mich schon auf viele lustige Stunden in ‚meiner‘ Alten Lampe.

by  Barack Obama, President of the United States of America

Forty years ago, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City resisted police harassment that had become all too common for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.
Out of this resistance, the LGBT rights movement in America was born. During LGBT Pride Month, we commemorate the events of June 1969 and commit to achieving equal justice under law for LGBT Americans.

LGBT Americans have made, and continue to make, great and lasting contributions that continue to strengthen the fabric of American society. There are many well-respected LGBT leaders in all professional fields, including the arts and business communities. LGBT Americans also mobilised the Nation to respond to the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic and have played a vital role in broadening this country’s response to the HIV pandemic.
Due in no small part to the determination and dedication of the LGBT rights movement, more LGBT Americans are living their lives openly today than ever before. I am proud to be the first President to appoint openly LGBT candidates to Senate-confirmed positions in the first 100 days of an Administration. These individuals embody the best qualities we seek in public servants, and across my Administration – in both the White House and the Federal agencies –openly LGBT employees are doing their jobs with distinction and professionalism.
The LGBT rights movement has achieved great progress, but there is more work to be done. LGBT youth should feel safe to learn without the fear of harassment, and LGBT families and seniors should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect.
My Administration has partnered with the LGBT community to advance a wide range of initiatives. At the international level, I have joined efforts at the United Nations to decriminalize homosexuality around the world. Here at home, I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans. These measures include enhancing hate crimes laws, supporting civil unions and Federal rights for LGBT couples, outlawing discrimination in the workplace, ensuring adoption rights, and ending the existing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in a way that strengthens our Armed Forces and our national security. We must also commit ourselves to fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic by both reducing the number of HIV infections and providing care and support services to people living with HIV/AIDS across the United States.
These issues affect not only the LGBT community, but also our entire Nation. As long as the promise of equality for all remains unfulfilled, all Americans are affected. If we can work together to advance the principles upon which our Nation was founded, every American will benefit. During LGBT Pride Month, I call upon the LGBT community, the Congress, and the American people to work together to promote equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2009 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.
BARACK OBAMA
