Wants More Travel

I agree with the author of the letter "Why No Greece?" in the October 2005 issue of The Guide. Let's go further and say, why no Budapest? Prague? Oslo? Brussels? Your publication should open up and take your readers to new or unreviewed cities and countries around this big beautiful world of ours! Your readers will love you all the more for it.

Hope you enjoyed December's feature on Sweden and this month's coverage of Poland-- more such destinations are being considered.

St. Louis Map?

You have maps of different cities here and there listing the location of clubs, bars, etc. Do you have a map of St. Louis, and if so where do I find it ?

We have run a map of St. Louis to accompany our once-a-year feature; in the meantime, you can always visit www.guidemag.com and click "map" on any of the 32 St. Louis businesses listed there.

Concerned About Cons

Thank you for publishing The Guide and making it available to everyone. I like some of your articles and appreciate your MaleBox personals, which can help lonely people find someone. But I am concerned about the prisoner thing. Yes, we know that ten percent of the people in prison could be innocent and another five to ten percent may not need to be there. However, let's face it. Most are there because they broke the rules of our society, and some of them are very dangerous people. Also, some of the overseas ads seem to be scams. How can you tell the difference? These people con with a nice letter and a picture. They then ask for money with a sad story: broken home, car, life, etc. They keep at it until they have the person send them postal money orders. Please think of protecting your readers.

Personally, I want The Guide to be available and successful. However, I want it to be careful and to have as many safeguards as possible, so that scam artists and troublemakers don't hurt the community any more than they do. I also hope that more law-abiding and decent people are able to hook up through your magazine.

Thanks for remembering that many guys in prison do not in any way belong there. But even the bad boys behind bars deserve to be able to correspond-- and not being in prison is no guarantee that someone is "decent." As we've often noted, when writing anyone unknown it is wise to be appropriately cautious.

Wants Shit Girl Friends

I read your article "Exploring Coprophilia" [January, 1999] at www.guidemag.com. Having scat friends seems intriguing for me. I don't know if I'm in the right place to ask but I've searched around on the web, and I haven't found much information on where to meet others that are into this kind of play as well.

I'm a heterosexual male so I'm particularly interested in finding females to share the experience with. The closest thing I've found is www.adultfriendfinder.com, but that offers no real guarantee that I will be able to meet people like me. Might you have any insight on this matter?

There are many websites offering heterosexual kink like www.anal.alt.com that-- like their gay counterparts-- don't include an explicit scat category, but attract enough pervs that you should be able to find scat friends there; be explicit in your ad and see what you find. Gay guys do appear to have more options, like www.scatboi.com or www.scatmen.com. Good luck.

How Mailed?

Fine magazine! Once I subscribe, will the monthly issues come through the mail unwrapped with my name stuck on the cover on a label, or will they come in a non-see-thru plastic wrap like some of my other magazines? Confidentiality is an issue where I live, unfortunately!
