Whether you're a new transplant to Montreal or just a tourist on a bender, it's just as important to know with whom you should be having sex on any given night as it is to know where to accomplish the dirty deed. After all, your choice of sexual partners says a lot about you as a person. You don't want to get caught with your pants down with the wrong guy, gal, or trans person. People will talk! (And judge. And talk some more. And post photos on Facebook, to your never-ending humiliation. Let's not go there.)


For easy comparison's sake, we've put together a brief side-by-side guide to help you decide whether your potential lover is fuckable or a failure. Let's begin.
