Deciding whether Berlin or Paris is sluttier is a hard conclusion to get to. Instinctually, I'd have  to go with Berlin. However, to provide a well-rounded perspective, I may have to set parameters  by which we measure each city. 

So, on a scale of zero to slutty? Which city is better? And more importantly, what can we use as  data? 

Are the Men "Givers?" 

Berlin is known for its free-flowing semen. The men have sex like it's an afternoon activity. They  want to play with everyone, including you. Walking into some venues is like walking into a 500- man orgy. It's absolutely wild. 

On the other hand, Parisian men are just as horny. Yet, the city is not known for its  straightforward sexual culture like Berlin. The venues in Paris are much smaller, but men seem  to be equal opportunists, as well. 

The one area that Paris gains over Berlin is the hetero men who want to play with gay men.  They're open about it; several have told me about their open relationship with their wives. But I  do find that many will only speak French, even when cruising, making it a less straightforward  experience. 

Passion or No Passion? 

French men are known for their passion; they love love-making. They want to play the game of  seduction and provide ample fourplay. 

While the German men are colder in their demeanor, they can pound you like a jackhammer til  you can't walk anymore. 

By this metric alone, we can conclude that the French are better lovers. But does that make the  city of Paris sluttier? 

How Many Cruise Bars Does Each City Have? 

If we look at the number of cruise bars, Paris has over 20. This does not include regular gay bars  that are just sit-and-drink type of places. These are venues where you can take it off and get it on. 

Berlin, on the other hand, has many gay bars, and many have a darkroom. But when it comes to  bars with heavy cruising areas, the number is about the same as in Paris. 

Therefore each city is equally slutty using this metric. If you're allowed to have sex in these  places, well then, how about it?

How Many Bathhouses Does Each City Have? 

Paris has many bathhouses. As of writing this, I counted 12. That's a whole lot of steam rooms to  check out. 

The great thing about having all of these saunas is that they cater to everyone under the LGBT+  umbrella. Although some are gay men only, others are pans, some are trans, and some are for gay  men of color. But having options is always a plus. 

Berlin is a big city, and even though it has a large gay population, there is only one bathhouse,  Der Boiler. And since it's the only one, the line is sometimes wrapped around the block, which  makes for a more fulfilling experience. The men who come here are ready to pound your hole,  then take a soak in the jacuzzi. 

Does this mean that the city of Paris is sluttier for having more bathhouses? Should we count gay  festivals instead? Or monthly fetish parties? And by the way, Berlin wins on festivals and  monthly fetish parties. 

Although it's pretty hard to decide which city is sluttier, there is one metric we haven't touched  on. 

So, Which City is Sluttier? 

Paris and Berlin are very different cities. We love them for the unique venues they bring to the  table. And even though Berlin will always be the gayer city with the biggest clubs across Europe,  and Paris will always be the city with the ancient underground club caves, there is one slutty  metric we can use to help our final decision. 

What is this metric? You! Perhaps it's not which city is sluttier. Perhaps it all depends on how  slutty you are. 

Although both places make it easy, the notches you rack up in each city might determine the  level of fun you'll have once you get to each destination, making for one slutty time. So this  leads me to my final question: What's your body count in each city? We'd love to know.
