Needless to say, not a welcoming experience.īuenos Aires, along with its mysterious and ritualized tango, possesses a machisimo porteno. On the side of the building there´s a brass sign that says ALBERGUE TRANSITORIO, and there were red lights all around the outside. It looked like one of the torture centers during Argentina´s state terrorism. I walked by a telo one night by accident and the building was foreboding. I’ve always found the position of propositioning a woman for hourly sex at a hotel at worst creepy and at best presumptuous. He says "you go in, you ****, and that´s all".
I interviewed a 60 year old mujeriego about his telo experiences and he seemed a bit jaded about it.
What’s important is to be honest with a woman, reconnoiter the telo, and make it a natural progression. I’ve conjectured on how to actually bring a woman to a telo and it always ends awkwardly because of our western association. In contrast, young people in Buenos Aires stay with their parents until their late 20s. In Buenos Aires, telo culture is accepted because of its necessity.įor young Americans, in University they live in dorms or apartments away from their parents.
Violence is approved and encouraged, but sex is kept hushed. It wasn’t until I arrived in Buenos Aires and came face to face with telos that I realized the service they provide. And there’s always this trashy connotation with telos businessmen and prostitutes, illicit affairs, etc. You hear about these infamous places in the seedy parts of town but you never actually see them. Before coming to Buenos Aires, hourly motels were mostly urban legend.
