Frankfurt RLD, plus Covid cert info

[Sullivan]

I find myself in Frankfurt with work. I'm staying near the main train station, which is also where the RLD is 

I have to say, I don't like it at all. I've been to Nuremberg RLD and loved it. I've also visited Reeperbahn in Hamburg, not so keen but straightforward.

If you've seen The Walking Dead, this is what most of the people walking around look like. Junkies at the very end of their lives, coming up to you and asking for money. If reading this, I'd say we are men of the world with an eye for excitement. This was several steps too far from me and I'd recommend FKK ten times out of ten.

If you are going to come, I recommend you get a scooter app first, such as Lime, so you can zip past the junkies.


So, what did I do? I went to the Laufhäuser. Some were €30 a go, others €50. As with the junkies, I think the wgs could see my lack of familiarity and pushed for the €50.

I went to four or five, checking out who was where.

In each place, you need a Covid certificate. When I arrived in Frankfurt airport, I went to terminal 2, followed the directions for the car park and on the U4 level there is a testing site clearly marked. It took less than five minutes to register and have my swab taken. They emailed the results in 15 minutes and each place I went to accepted that email for entry.

My final stop was the Rotes Haus. I saw someone of interest on the first floor, another on the second. I walked to the top. It seems that most have a floor of TS on the top floor.

Coming back down I stopped at the girl on the second floor Sara. Stunningly attractive, tall, dressed to excite. She said she is from Hawaii but must be bullshit as she speaks no English. I'd guess she is Thai. €50 for OW and sex.

Of course once she had my €50 that's when the extras started to be sold. I could touch her tits but not kiss them unless I paid for more. Positions, CG and doggy only. Mish cost more. I'd say I had about 3 minutes OW, 5 minutes CG, 5 minutes doggy and then she pushed me onto the bed and wanked me to a conclusion.

Not a bad way to spend €50 but not the best.

how much did it cost for the testing mate ?

[digdug]

Antigen testing should cost you nothing. There is also one in Hauptwache Ubahn station. I am sure there is also one at the Hauptbahnhof (Main train station) - I just avoid it for the reasons given by the OP. Breite Gasse at the other end of the Zeil is far less sad but much smaller.

[nugget4eva]

The antigen tests are normally only free for residents. If you have a vaccination certificate, you can use that instead and skip the tests.

Frankfurt RLD looks scary to the uninitiated.
Once you’ve been there a few times and told the junkies to fuck off a few times, it’s not so bad.
I don’t think I’ve seen any actual trouble.
But the stairs…..FUCK!
I’m terribly indecisive, I wander and wander and wander. Up and down, up and down.
I’ve almost passed out a few times on those fucking stairs.
Honestly, I only go when work pay for me to be in Frankfurt.
I just don’t think the effort is worth it.
Last few times, I went to sharks instead.

It’s a good point about the fucking stairs. Goes for most German cities (except for Stuttgart, which I’ve just mentioned on another thread). Why the fuck they can’t buy up a big old hotel so one can glance through a whole floor at a time. I suppose it’s an attraction (?) of the FKKs — just pay enormous wads of dosh and relax.

Sorry to hear FRA has gone downhill — I remember a time when even their SWs were quite ‘posh’.

Rotes haus is full of scammers and best avoided.

I think age is the main factor Marmalade.
I used to have the energy and fitness for all of those stairs.
Of course the advantage of age is that I can afford FKK prices.

Age can make a difference and also weight; in my case, getting fed up with the effort vs payoff when used to more efficient options. In South America, I’d know several stairs (walk ups) but on each floor about twenty women, music, and cheap drink. The staircase at one place was too narrow for one fat guy though. Another option was a p4p village run by the p4ps with about a hundred or more available at ground floor level, plus drinks food snooker all at throwaway prices, all 24/7. It’s not as plentiful or as cheap as it was but a lot more cheerful than walking up and down stairs to a few stoney faced p4ps which is not exactly entertaining.

Personally I think German Eros centres are nice after a diet of uk prices but still a bit time consuming. The big advantage is reliable availability without long haul flights or breaking the bank. Stuttgart has the advantage of more p4ps on a single floor and Berlin (among other things) has reasonably priced 24hr brothels that offer decent service. Frankfurt on the other hand can be a stunningly beautiful city in its own right.

Hanover is exactly the same with the stairs!,I've been  there a few times and everytime I've tired myself out just going up and down the stairs,Once I was there in a heatwave! I must have sweat out at least half a stone!!

Sorry for not responding sooner,

In the airport it was supposed to be €29 for non-Germans. She asked if I am German and I said no, she said €29, I asked "What if I had said yes?" and she laughed, said I could have it for free. So it cost nothing, and I was able to use it for my return to the UK.

Yeah, the stairs are awful. When you have seen 3 floors of girls who are 4/10 and still keep going up to the 4th floor and find more of the same mediocrity.

Then go to another Eros Center and repeat the process. At least in Nuremberg there are plenty in the windows as well as stairs to climb.

I was a bit taken aback when I visited last year - it does appear every junkie / shambling nutjob in Frankfurt hangs out directly opposite the main train station.

Other than that bit, the rest of the city centre was fine.  My preference is to visit a FKK when punting in Germany and spend five to six hours, but then I'm there on holiday and the OP has to put in a day's work.

I have never seen the like of it. People are openly shooting up and smoking what I believe to be crack. There are needles on the ground, groups of 20 or 30 junkies randomly dotted round the streets, people sleeping in doorways. There was a place called Central Lotto Cafe on Moselstrasse which seemed to have a constant junkie party outside it.

Of course you can tell them to fuck off or, as I did, get on a Lime scooter and zip past them. But it's very unsettling to see, not in terms of feeling threatened but as regards wondering how someone's life became so fucked up. I felt for a lot of them. You can see people at different stages of their decline.

Then there are trendy bars with young people drinking in them and skyscraper headquarters of banks alongside it all. Sheer madness.

I guess it is worth experiencing, but I'd take a trip through on a scooter, maybe go in for a beer somewhere and then head out to a FKK for mongering.

[irishdick]

I'd recommend Mainhatten in Frankfurt.
Its an FKK a short tram ride from the main centre, not as big as sharks but easier and cheaper to get to.
I really enjoyed my visit there.
I did a review at the time.

Totally agree with you man. I went to Frankfurt RLD yesterday, as I had 4 hours between my trains. The whole area looks like a walking dead episode. And the girls in the eros center... awful. I found just a decent looking romanian. 40 euros for 20 mins. Very mechanical...

Sorry all, I'm duplicating this post here because perhaps it is more appropriate in this thread, thanks:

So the OP raises a question, do you currently need a covid test to get into German Fkks / RLDs ?

It's just that not many of the up to date sauna club websites even mention the rona entry restrictions anymore, and some specifically state "fully open without any rona restrictions".

I might plan a holiday for later on in the year once I'm convinced that everything is really "back to normal".
