Airbnb sex between host and guests

The closest call I had was one VERY handsome, fit guest who was sitting shirtless in my living room when I came home one evening. I barely looked at him and stayed in my room the rest of the night. He’d texted me earlier that day to invite me out for wine which and I declined.

You’ll regret it when you are old!

Nah. I was in my late 40s when that happened and already had a rich sex life. Getting with him didn’t appeal to me in the least but he may have seen my face light up when he walked in because he really was dreamy.

I have definitely had bottles of wine or flowers that were there as hosts gifts on arrival.

I stayed in a lot of Air BnBs as a single woman and most of the hosts are not people I would ever be attracted to! One host and I sat up talking until two in the morning while sipping wine. That could have gone somewhere I guess but then we both just said goodnight and went to our respective beds!

I hope he is charging extra. Or at least getting tips.

That raises eyebrows for me as well, he will come by during a stay to ask how things are. And has been known to bring over wine or flowers during the visit. During my stays with hosts while on vacation, a host has only come by initially with keys or parking passes, or if an issue has arisen with the accommodation.

As for the dating apps, he did not like Hinge because he felt that women self-select closer to his actual age rather than how young he feels and looks. I suppose as with the male shirtless guest above who had asked his female host if she’d like to go out for wine (I would also have ignored), either a host or guest might send out signals and if the other party is receptive then it is a matter between consenting adults.

So creepy.

Super creepy. You don’t make advances on people trapped in a house with you.

Even if they say yes, they are paying you for… something… ie he’s a gigolo

I think he charges considerably under market rate.

The idea is so gross. I'm repulsed to think that an airB&B might want to f his patrons - offensive.

There are articles and internet discussions on this, it is not uncommon.

Yet another reason to stick with good old highly regulated hotels.

I am of this mind. If you host or guest hundreds of time a year and find one or two persons you feel a connection with, that is human nature and it is okay to flirt and perhaps engage in some intimacy.

But if you use your home stays as either host or guest as some sort of potential meetup, hunting grounds or playground for potential sexual problems, and find yourself making advances regularly, then that is an issue.

If it is not okay in a professional environment then it is not okay when someone who has entered into a contract with you assuming a safe space, is subjected to any discomfort— even if you are super hot and they should be flattered.

^^^ corrected meant sexual partners. And this assumes both parties are single and otherwise age appropriate.

Some hosts provides bio write-ups a person could use on a dating app, providing interests, athletic pursuits, educational or professional background, nice qualities. When paired with a particularly attractive photo, I’ve sometimes wondered if these home stays in an owner occupied place aren’t a little bit dating app.

For some time now I’ve noted that a number of his guests are women traveling solo, and that reviews note his attentiveness, personal visits to check in during their stay, and even that he brings flowers or wine to guests during their visits. I’m beginning to wonder whether in addition to the income he may enjoy other benefits of hosting.

Do some hosts or guests have a modus operandi of using Airbnb as a sort of playground for potential dates, and has anyone reading this ever hooked up as either host or guest during an Airbnb stay?

Lol. May be some but not most. We've received flowers, wines and other small gifts from many hosts and we are older people who are very average looking and average earning.

*guess those favors were for keeping their super host status and getting good reviews not anything more
