Sexual Exhibitionists in Hostels
Today, we’ve been mostly reading the hostel stories posts to be found on HostelManagement and various other places elsewhere around the web… And it took HostelBloggers right back to our days when we managed a hostel in Spain.
One day, a guy called Rob turned up. Blonde, cocky and incredibly narcissistic, he stood at the hostel reception admiring his reflection, and booked a double room (because he’d picked up this ‘really hot German girl’ a few days earlier).
He checked in, and then went to his room to sleep for the rest of the afternoon. A little later on, the aforementioned ‘hot German girl’ turned up. She slipped into the room they’d booked together and proceeded to have very loud sex with the windows and shutters wide open.
Now, the hostel (as with most old Spanish houses) was set around a central patio - on a square, effectively - so everyone in the other rooms and social areas could hear, and, like one voyeuristic guest, watch them at it. It went on most of the afternoon.
The next day they left, and no more was thought about it… until a couple of weeks later. One of the guests came bounding up to reception, clearly a little agitated. “There’s porn on your computer - loads of porn!” she gabbled excitedly. Anyway, it turned out that our friend Rob was something of a sexual exhibitionist: he’d downloaded all of his ‘erotic hostel adventures’ on to a computer.
And it wasn’t just a few, either, but photo after photo of his conquests in revealing positions, punctuated only by artful shots of himself in the nude. Interestingly, he hadn’t just slapped them all over one computer, but EVERY guest computer. He must’ve really wanted people to see him.
What was interesing about it, was that it seemed far removed from your average drunken dorm room slap ‘n’ tickle (high on everybody’s list of backpacking bugbears/annoying hostel types), but a narcissim on a far grander, more calculated scale.
To this day HostelBloggers wonders if he pulled a similar stunt in every hostel he went to…
