I've been wondering what the scene is like over here (I'm assuming it's *extremely* closeted).

From what I've heard from gay foreigners, particularly males, there are a lot of of Korean men who are closeted and having sex with male and female partners -- I've also heard some shocking things about the male bathouses.

Do you date Koreans? What's the scene?

I know there's somewhere in Itaewon called Homo hill and i've met some gay lads in Itaewon but that's all i know.

Hope that helps.

I've met a few gay Koreans. They are the most "straight" men I've met here. No pink hairbands with glitter, or sparkly hand-cream, or low-cut shirts. They are actually kind of butch.

And mostly they are in the closet.

I'm not gay, but fron what I've heard and seen from friends is that gay male westerners are even luckier with the locals than straight western males.

Koreans will say "there are no gay people in Korea". But there are of course.

In Itaewon there are a couple of gay bars up on da hill, right next to each other. Sorry, can't remember the name now, but when I was there, it was mostly foreigners inside. I think it is best to keep your gayness on the down low in Korea. They are way too conservative for that.

HOWEVER, a lot of my Korean girl-friends have all told me that they would LOVE to have a gay friend. Maybe they are watching too much Will and Grace or something, but I have heard that SO many times.
