Sordid PTown tales

DLers, tell us your Provincetown stories.

What happens at Boy Beach and the Dick Dock??

by Anonymousreply 110August 8, 2022 12:38 AM

When I was a kid, ever year we would drive out in our Olds station wagon from our cottage in Chatham. Its quite far out there! In more ways than one. It was the 70s and my dad and mom liked leftover hippies and free-spirits but were mum on "fairies". We would pick up hitch-hikers. I was still oblivious to what gay meant but I knew in my gut I was attracted to men. Well we picked up two gorgeous Twinkie gay guys and one of them was wearing flimsy gauze hippy dippy shorts and I was mesmerized by his obvious bulge. This was going down in rear seat - the third row. They were skinny dudes and thats where there was room for them. The guy made chit cat with my parents but he saw my eyes glued to his crotch so he winked at me. Then a bit later he got a semi, it was enormous, and he let half his cock and some nuts slip out for my examination. I NEVER IN ALL MY LIFE. I walked through P-Town with entirely new perception after that.

I was scheduled to meet my slutty but sweet friend for dinner. He was about 10 minutes late to the restaurant.

His first words were, “Sorry, I was getting gang banged at the Dick Dock”

Dinner was lovely.

in the 90s, there was a little downward dip as it wasn't as popular as it had once been and many properties changed hands, I once took a contract gig there for a gay resort owned by a homophobic man running a business he hated but this was his big moving up purchase. It was the stereotype of everything you might think a homophobe thought of gay men would do to try to attract gay business. I only lasted about a week before having a Julia Sugarbaker moment.

PTown doesn’t have the same sexual charge as Fire Island, which is all gay. PTown is about half straight and this summer it seemed like there were more straights than ever.

They take over everything good!

r7 It was my first and last trip to P-town. I honestly don't remember but it was setup like a gated trailer park, iit used to be for elder gays - some had lived in it year around but not after this guy bought it and the main building that also doubled as bar was essentially a narrow two story trailer with a roof deck and had a 60s style pool out back but at that time wasn't filled and was used as a safety hazard dance area. . . well, in and around it. The dude was really cheap so the property had fallen into disrepair. I think he ended up selling after that summer, though I wouldn't have been surprised if a mob of employees and customers did something.

Where are the SORDID TALES? C’mon DL. Jeeezus. ok, I’ll start. I’ve been t ptown many times but mostly with friends/family. One time i was there alone and went out to the bars. After last call I headed to Dick Dock “just to see what it was like,” and holy fuck. It was packed. I thought I would just kind of walk around and watch, but there was a guy on his knees sucking off two muscly guys so I couldn’t help but watch and next thing I knew I was joining in. The cocksucker started rotating between me and a giant young muscle guy in a tank top to my left. We made eye contact and started making out while getting sucked. I felt bad to steal attention away from the cocksucker but man this guy was hot. Next thing I know he was on HIS knees sucking my dick. And then he bent over right there to let me fuck him on the sand with the waves lapping at our feet. damn.

I’m in my room at this Inn in Provincetown. I was washing some dishes in the bathroom sink that I had brought with me . I heard a knock at the door. Some FRAU in the room below me says she hears boom boom boom that’s coming from my room. I said I’m just sitting on my bed using my iPhone. I’m not admitting to anything. She was not polite just bitchy. It was inappropriate of her to confront me like that. She should have called the front desk to complain and third it’s 4:25 in the afternoon not late at night.

I went there with a bf in the 90s for a week. We ate taffy and went the beach and saw some friends of his who where there and we fucked 3 times a day. We stayed at a B&B and never managed to make it down for breakfast, which ended at 10 or 11. Too busy fucking. We fucked so much my cum was clear like water at the end of the week.

When I got my drivers' license I drove my mothers' car from Hyannis to Ptown, determined to lose my virginity.

At 16, I somehow got into the Ahouse, got a little drunk and went home with a hot French Canadian. He fucked me hard. Also, he was uncut (like me) and spoke very little english. Perfect.

In college I bartended for 2 summers at the Boatslip so I know I've met a lot of you guys.

Ptown is great. Yes there are a lot straights and even more lesbians than ever. My friend Ryan does a show called Showgirls. Check it out if you're there.

Geesh, I'm local to the PTown area so I was hoping for some real juicy tales, since I obviously don't travel in the right sordid circles.

Basically, if you come here you'll find what you're looking for, whatever that may be. It's not a giant den of iniquity. There's probably more gay sex but that would be the same in any place that had such a high concentration of gay men. Theme weeks have the propensity to be the most sordid.

If you're intent on finding the hot stuff, stick to Dick Dock (literally beneath the Boatslip), Herring Cove Beach (walk a mile or two to the left of the parking lot), The Vault (late night bar, part of the Crown and Anchor complex), and the A House (Atlantic House on Masonic Place). Go get pizza at Spiritus on Commercial Street after the bars close. Good cruising.

It's not as gay as it used to be and it's expensive to stay here. (Real estate is through the roof.) There are events and entertainment and varied things to do that don't revolve around drag queens, though heaven knows it's drag queen central.

If you're not part of a particular scene - say a bear, or a circuit gay - keep to the weeks that aren't theme weeks.

It's a lovely place in many ways. Adjust your expectations and you'll have a nice time.

Now let's hear more sordid tales.

by Anonymousreply 68August 2, 2022 2:04 PM

Back in the early 80s I visited with some friends. One night a couple of us decided to venture to the docks to have a good time. While we were walking there, there were guys running past us in the other direction. Well, the closer we got we could hear a deep moaning sound met with the sounds of people screeching and more runners. When we got there it was apparent that Erna was in PTown. Never in all my life have I smelled or seen the sight of her covered in poop and eating fresh from a bottom. So there, that’s my “story”.

by Anonymousreply 69August 2, 2022 2:19 PM

Ptown is definitelynot sordid sex sex filled bacchanalia outside of certain times like Bear Week. As other have said if you want sex you can find it at the Vault and the dick dock.

Things actually shut down pretty early, bars have to be closed by one so it gets quiet at nice pretty fast.

It is a nice vacation spot. I like it better than Fire Island even though I am much closer to that. You just take the train up to Boston and the Ferry to Ptown. Definitely not cheap, staying there is pricey.

True you can drive of course, but you don't really a need a car once you are there r71 so if you live somewhere where there is a train going to Boston that works.

And staying close to commercial street where all the bars and restaurants is the most convenient but if you stay off the main drag you can find cheaper lodging. And there will be cute shirtless boys to bike you into the main street if you don't want to walk.

And Ptown is probably about 50/50 gay and straight. Not like Fire Island where it is all gay.

Went to Herring Cove Beach on a beautiful September afternoon.

Decided to go for a walk, ended up at Long Point by the light house. Met a local artist who was sunning on the beach. Fooled around a little bit.

I suspect the guy was cheating on his bf because he had to leave suddenly for a dinner date, but wanted my cell number in case he was free later that night. I gave it to him suspecting I would never hear from him again and I went on about my business. About 8PM, he calls and wants to hook up, which we did. He spent the night and we fucked all night long. He gave me his number.

The end.

I can't believe all these "non-sordid" tales going on about Ptown. There is sex everywhere if you look for it. If you're not looking for it, you can have a lovely time too. My husband and I went on and off for 17 years - from about 1999 up to 2016, I think was the last time we were there. We actually went for one Halloween which was surprisingly really cool too. It had changed a lot by 2016 and the height to us seemed to be when the Marc Jacobs store was still open and a bunch of good new restaurants were coming in - A-House and the Crown and Anchor were loaded with guys out to dance and have a good time each night of the week. There were barkers all up and down the street beckoning you into shows. We would go for a week, and the weekly rentals are Saturday to Saturday. I am not a super sexually active person at home. I love to watch and flirt and kind of like anything illicit. Even if I don't play, it's hot to be around it to me. Anyway, I have tons of experiences seeing things and participating myself here and there. If you go far enough out on the beach in the gay area, we would see guys fucking on the beach (rare but it happened) but mostly guys stroking with each other or sucking each other in the Dunes.

The Dick Dock was my thing. It is literally right underneath the boat slip. This is how it works - everyone goes out to the two main clubs there. They close early around 1 am I think. Then people head to Spiritus Pizza which is a huge scene afterwards. Then everyone who is up to something pretends they are walking home, circles back and then heads down the alleyway on the west side of the boatslip that leads down to the water. Everyone knows what's up. On Friday and Saturdays there used to be people handing out condoms at the entrance. You literally duck underneath the dock and it's the entire length of the boatslip underneath in the sand with the watering lapping like ten feet away. Literally upwards of 75 guys at the height of the night. Everyone walks back and forth, cruising each other. There are bolder guys sucking getting fucked. A group of guys will form around someone getting fucked, you'll hear moaning and groaning, all that kind of stuff. And the funny thing is it's usually guys you've seen walking around the town earlier in the day, looking to play. I have sucked, been sucked, even have fucked a couple of guys down there before. Never got a single STD, thank god. But the scene itself is really hot to me. I'd say it's usually 1:30 am - 3am.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday are the busiest. But to be honest, sometimes Mondays, Tuesday, Wednesdays are hotter because there are less people and you get a lot of curious horny types who have never done this before wandering down there, hot closeted guys, college to married dads, etc.. who have heard about it and finally want to try it. I have usually hooked up with a hotter grade of guys on those nights when you don't have a ton of muscle mary's hoovering up any and all dicks. It is all very self contained, so you wander down and see what you can see. It's a haven for exhibitionist who want to put on a show. So if you like to watch or just be around sex, it's worth it just for that alone. There is usually always something every time I've gone down. And I have seen drunk friends that I have had crushes on getting sucked or bent over getting fucked, oblivious to whomever is watching them. Then you just wander home and the day starts all over again.

by Anonymousreply 76August 2, 2022 4:27 PM

I know I'll bet blasted by the pearl clutchers. It wasn't my husbands kind of thing, although we have gone together before and had fun. But I would go by myself and he would head home. I'd tell him who or what I saw, if it was anyone we both knew or had seen around in town. It's always interesting to know who the giant dick visitors staying during your week are, ha!. It's just a funny little game you play of keep-the-secret when you see the same people out the next day at brunch kiki-ing with their friends, and you remember seeing them bent over some piling just the night before.

And we lived in the NYC area at the time and had never been to fire island. We finally went one summer and were completely surprised how much more we liked Ptown in comparison. Ptown is an actual vacation destination with a ton of restaurants, entertainment, hikes, bike rides, beaches. There are actual grocery stores and people are out walking about and not holed up in this or that private home. The party tends to be in the streets, at the bars, at the clubs and not behind some closed doors. Overall the vacationing populace is more integrated with each other and more enjoyable and easygoing. I guess it's the Fire Island for Boston Gays, so we always enjoyed seeing different people, although a good number of them were from NYC too.

Exactly. Fire Island is very limited in terms of what it has to offer. That is what keeps it more gay than Ptown, but also makes it a less interesting vacation spot.

However some NY gays love it, because it is basically taking all the NY gays and moving it to a party on the beach. A lot of fun if you are part of certain cliques.

But one difference with Fire Island is the big thing every weekend is the underwear party and you will see guys having sex all around you. It's not hidden away.

I went there every year since around 2001 with my husband. We were both about 24 then and together a couple of years. I had grown up going to P-Town as a kid so I have always known it well. He came from the Bible belt and had never seen anything like it or even knew places like it existed. We haven't been back since 2017 due to employment changes and timing, but miss it a lot. Never really saw much of the sex scene there, because we weren't looking for it, though it's never struck me as hard to find there if you are looking for it.

I went there about a dozen times through the years but was always in a relationship so never did the hook up scene. I have not been back in about five years largely due to buying a second home a couple of towns over from Ogunquit.

[quote]I went there about a dozen times through the years but was always in a relationship so never did the hook up scene. I have not been back in about five years largely due to buying a second home a couple of towns over from Ogunquit.

Excuse me if you all heard me yawning, but I actually fell asleep halfway through that post.

Not really sordid but it made me smile. I was waiting for a friend in front of New York Ice Cream. I glanced up and there was a big bay window on the second floor apartment next door. It looked like a table of older gentlemen we’re having dinner. Then a well built guy in a jockstrap walks into the window and looks like he’s serving them dinner or pouring drinks. I never get invited to dinners like that.

R93- I'm not familiar with New York Ice Cream in Provincetown. Where is it?

I have many many happy memories from P-Town. I used to go as a child with my parents in the 70s. My mother was an artist, and my dad a musician, also we were Portuguese, so it all fit pretty well. Later on I moved to Boston for school and used to take my bike on the ferry and visit for the day. In all the years I went, I never hooked up with anyone - I was much more interested in the art galleries and restaurants I guess. But it was very freeing to be there. I used to go deep sea fishing, and I loved the dune tours where we would see the artist shacks. I used to stay at a friends apartment in the winter frequently, when it was quiet. I can still hear the fog horns and taste the dough boys from the Portuguese bakery. Sorry, nothing sordid - although I did once have a hot make out session with a very cute piano player from the Crown and Anchor, and once some butch lesbians chased me because while waiting on the porch to get into Siro and Sals I laughed because they backed their truck into a fence. That's about as exciting as it got I'm afraid.

Aww, that's sweet. There is something about being in a place surrounded by so many gay men for the first time if you aren't used to that.

R94 Lewis Brothers Ice Cream. There is a sign above that says The New York Store and I always think of that. Commercial and Standish.

R29 Unlike the Pines FI which was largely gay men and lots of clubbing and drugs and virtually no lesbians or straights. Provincetown is low key, less expensive and less exclusive with a mix of straights, gay men and women. You drive to Provincetown unlike FI where you have to take a ferry. There are no cars or bikes on the island.

R98- I would drive to Sayville -65 miles then take the ferry to Fire Island Pines.

Was visiting Boston from SF on a long business trip and decided to visit PTown and Ogunquit for the first time. I arrived in PTown on an empty ferry on a Saturday, the last day or two of Bear Week. Was overwhelmed by the heat and humidity and the mostly straight crowds. When I arrived, it seemed tacky, and packed with tacky straights. The East Coast is relatively flat to me and the Atlantic seems like a bit of a pussy, as far as oceans go -- no waves, no excitement. What a mistake, I thought. Went to a Sunday Tea Dance at the Boat Slip (it's the blue motel with the pool, right?). Very friendly and fun -- and I'm a fat Elderbear. The DJ was playing my absolute favorite and obscure dance tunes from the 80's. The party ended early in the evening. Didn't see or do anything sordid.

By Sunday night, something magical happened: All of the straight people disappeared. Gays and Lesbians were everywhere. Went to the best cabaret shows at Crown and Anchor that week, fantastic seafood restaurants, and of course, bars. Rented an electric-assisted bicycle and rode out to the beautiful sand dunes, feeling like a kid again. Note: this trip came a few months after two nasty years of chemo and surgeries for colon cancer, with another tumor in a kidney (and who knew where else) waiting for me to do something. Until then, I hadn't been very adventurous.

Stayed in an ancient, 9-guestroom B and B owned by a gay couple on Bradford St. The backyard garden area had a clothing-optional hot tub and an open bar for guests at night. Spectacular, gourmet breakfast was served in the morning in the same area. Discretion was advised for daytime, as it was a mixed crowd, but mostly older gay men. For my first night down there, I was fully clothed until after one guest offered me a strong cocktail, I said "What the fuck... when in Rome..." so I stripped and got into the tub with all of my surgical scars and everyone else for the rest of the evenings I was there. What a blast. There were guys hooking up (they went up to their rooms). I think it was about $170/night. It's twice that now, but if I were to return, I'd only go mid-week.

After my conference in Boston, I rented a car and drove to Ogunquit, ME for two nights. The town is fukkin New Englandy-chaahmin. I expected to see daily murders with Jessica Fletcher on each case. There were two bar/restaurants with rainbow flags, but NO gay people. Had my first Lobstah. Huge, crowded beach, mostly families from Quebec. The Ogunquit Playhouse, which I'd never heard of, was packed. Would have needed to have gotten a ticket months in advance.

My only sordid tale - but this happened at my fancy, employer-paid hotel room in Boston during the conference, not in P'Town. Thanks to Scruff, I hooked up with another conference attendee, who was one of the featured lecturers. He's married with kids, as it turned out. We were inseparable for three days, and several of my colleagues from back home who were there will never let me forget about it.

R100- Being that you're FAT don't you think it would have been advisable to rent a Bicycle and burn off some of those calories.

Who has the Steve Grand stories? My friend saw him buying fisting lube in PTown so someone has the right story

by Anonymousreply 102August 3, 2022 2:29 AM

I met a lovely gay couple on the beach in PTown. They said they were having a party at their apartment and to come over about 9 pm.

I found some nice wine and took it over. Turned out it was fisting party with about 10 guys.

It took me about 5 seconds to register what it was and another 5 seconds to realize that the way they said party on the beach, I totally missed the innuendo.

And then I joined in.

Maybe that lube was for baking

I fell and my hand inserted itself into the descending colon of a very fine gentleman. I gasped and reached for the smelling salts. Too much for a Lady!!

In your deposition you said you inserted your hand in search of your smelling salts.

I move for a mistrial and immediate detainment.

A warning at dickdock

I've been going to Ptown every year since the early 90's. Always was able to pick up guys in the bars and when I couldn't I would head to dick dock after 1:00 am when the bars close and it gets busy there. Watch your head. You could bang it if you aren't paying attention. Got sucked off a lot there. I'm going there soon but because of monkey pox I will just hang around with friends. No sex for me anywhere.

Are there gays in Ogunquit?

by Anonymousreply 109August 6, 2022 4:22 PM

Yes there are gays in Ogunquit but more straights than gays. Gay bars etc. Not as gay as Ptown.
