The Paris Olympics, a sporting competition with athletes wearing tight lycra highlighting manly body parts. Understandable, fit guys in prime shape are the ultimate eye candy and physical fantasy. However, for those who could not make it to the 2024 Games, but plan on being in the French Capital one day. Forget about those medal ceremonies, for this event, participation is enough, “Let this Game Begin”. I can recommend a tawdry experience that is sort of a spectator sport that is a cheap thrill bordering on pervy.
Parisian parks are the gathering place for a densely packed city. There are activities of all kind, families walking with a stroller, romantic young couples sitting on the grass, teenagers hanging out with friends. Jogging is also a popular ritual. Men run around the parks: single, in pairs and in groups. One common thread, undoubtedly many of these guys want to be an object of sexual variations. These baguettes come in all shapes and sizes.
A runner in a public space on a sunny day is as normal as birds in trees. But what makes Paris different is what the male runners wear. Grab a coffee and croissant, get a viewing spot next to a running trail, sit and view. French men seem to buy fitness wear in the children’s department. The tights look tighter in a certain place. Nothing is left to imagination. A well outlined penis held in place by the most fitted legging stitching. One has to wonder if sweat could come between a body part and material.
The second outfit is the loose look, shorts made of polyester and elastane. For some reasons these mid-rise shorts seem full, almost, overflowing swinging from side to side. A carnal advertisement in live motion. One common thread, many of these guys want to be an object of sexual variations. Certainly, these men look in the mirror before going out the door. It makes one wonder if their partners know the runner wants an affair with half the city, a mass public flirtation. Or maybe there are local hotels charging by the hour.
One does not need the world’s biggest sporty event for enjoying an impressive bulge in Paris, just find a green space on a given sunny day.
Wismar makes a nice staycation away from Berlin. The former Hansa League and Swedish settlement offers quaint walks as well as nearby beaches.
ITB Berlin continued to inspire travellers this past week.

Jaegerborggade, there is a name not easy on the tongue. The Copenhagen street located in Norrebro area of the Danish capital, at first did not strike a visitor as trendy. While looking for the sign I missed it completely, walking two full blocks before asking a person for directions. Jaegerborggade is a narrow residential thoroughfare lined with independent shops, cafes and bars. Talking to the locals, there is a real sense of community. Unlike generic shopping malls with their endless, at times numbing sameness, the stores offer original, unique pieces for shoppers that move from hat designs, jewel smiths and even bakeries making caramel treats. A good time to visit is doing one of the many open street fair events.
Another place on the Main river, but Marktbreit wins the Picturesque Award. The romantic small town of around 3,700 sits in the middle of wine country with its old city wall and canal. I have never heard of the ancient Roman settlement until a recent quick visit on a warm German day. It was time well spent.
Marketbreit is located 136 km from Frankfurt and 30km from Wurzburg.
