Dear istanbul visitor, many things
are very modern in Turkey like in western Europe but many things are still very different. In Turkey gay culture is
completly different than USA and western Europe. Turkey is only the moslem country which gay action is not illegal and
like most of islamic countries almost every man would have sex with other men. in Turkish culture actually in moslem culture
if two men are having sex with eachother that does not mean that they are gay it is just part of hidden culture and they just
do it and mostly they dont talk about it. Usually gay mean someone feminine and passive. Istanbul is the
biggest city in Turkey and the best city in the middle east and eastern Europe for gay men to visit. there are many
gay clubs, bars, discos, hamams, saunas and cruising areas in istanbul. there are also some gay movies (cinemas) in istanbul
but the things you can do there are limited. you just can sit next to someone and touch him or sometime people give each other
blow job too. Taksim park is most known gay cruising park in istanbul. because of bad economical stuation they opened
several gay escort boys bars in istanbul and most of the boys go to those bars are straight and they just want to be top.
most of the hotels in istanbul dont let you to bring someone to your room, there are many cheap hotels in taksim square and
many gay men go there when they meet someone. Legal age is 18 in Turkey for gay or straight. another thing in Turkey is that
young and old people are not separated like in western Europe or in America. in many bars young and older men are mixed
and also very often a young and on old men are in relationship. Turkish and Kurdish men are very friendly and like foreigners.
