Many years ago I first experienced a sniff kiss but forget the circumstances. However recently with a young Laos guy, (who claims to be straight,) I have received sniff kisses from him, but no oral kisses other than a peck on the mouth.

Interesting.... Great geography trivia: every year on July 8th at 11:15 UTC, 99% of the world population gets sunlight.

Yop, wasn't yourself I was thinking of so much there as another member who posted some detail which made it WAY to easy for for the world to read every detail of their life which they may or may not be aware they did even...... maybe they'll read this and ask admin to edit their post ( or maybe like yourself they're aware and simply dont care). Either way my point stands that one has to be careful what one posts online these days as not everyone has your best at heart unfortunately it seems 😞.

That would be a big blow with it being such a part of your routine. All may not be lost however as there seem to be some other access routes to Radio 2 and other stations that are worth exploring. The BBC has said its radio stations will continue to be available for people outside the UK to listen to live after BBC Sounds access is restricted for international listeners. BBC Sounds will close for listeners outside the UK on 21 July 2025. International listeners will be able to listen to the BBC's radio stations through links on the station directory online, the BBC said. This includes the BBC's national stations - BBC Radio 1, Radio 2, and Radio 3, 6Music, 1Xtra and Asian Network, Radio 4Xtra and 5Live - all the stations in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales and every local radio station in England. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8j1m721mp2o

Gave up on BBC 2 when they started removing the likes of Steve Wright, Simon Mayo and PopMaster, so now listen to Greatest Hits Radio instead.

The last 5 days were spent in SP. A friend who used to work at one of the massage places decided to invite himself and stayed with me for the entire 5 days. I opted to stay where most of the seedy actions were: Apt on Rua Aurora kkk. We went to a few cinemas; some were deserted (due to bad timing or weather), but Cine Arouche is our favourite (the cabin, not the cinema). Lots of actions, and most guys are approachable. Dedalos a few times and Chili Hotel once. Also checked out Rhino. It was a naked/underwear night when we went. I would say most of the guys are hot. Unfortunately, most of them are looking for the ones hotter than them; at least that's what I sense/feel. Even my hot friend said he hates the place - I didn't ask why, but I think he got rejected a few times. And he is the type that gets whoever he wants. I am only basing this on 1 visit (when the bar just opened and stayed maybe 1 hour), so it could be different on other nights or later in the night/dawn. Went to Lagoa a few times. Some days are packed, but on average are pretty empty.

Did they have to show id at front desk?

I haven't been to the body scrubs in Japan but I know it exists, yet never understood how it works. I hear it is done by old women in private area. Is anybody familiar with it and can explain the process? Also I really want to try normal massage places where gay guys do it. I don't want full sex or anything but a bit more intimate touches and teases. I know it exists but not sure which ones. Anyone with experience?

Schuller once tackled a United Airlines flight attendant when flying first class from New York to LA. He put the poor guy in a headlock because he had not served him fruit with his cheese or hung up his garment bag! But he must be turning in his grave now, but not in repentance for that incident. In 1980 he opened his massive Crystal Cathedral before 3,000 guests who had each paid US$1,500 for the privilege. His weekly "Hour of Power" televised sermons all came from that glittering building. Only, the same as happened with Jim Bakker and his outfit, Schuller's mob had not been minding their cash in an appropriate manner. In fact, they ran out of it. The Ministry declared bankruptcy in 2010. The Crystal Cathedral was eventually sold. Now - and this is the part that must have the mortal remains of Schuller spitting blood from whatever remains of his corpse - it is owned and run by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange County. As with most of these other religious con men, Schuller and his fmaily were dismissed from their Ministry. Yet the Lord works in weird and wonderful ways. The Ministry is now run by Schuller's grandson, Robert! And the "Hour of Power" is still broadcast although from much smaller premises. During one service, Robert announced that his wife had been related to Elvis Presley! And most of these so-called Ministries have tax exempt status. Glory! Hallelujah!

After only a few sips of beer....how many gin with gin did you have before that 🧐

I don't speak french or Arabic otherwise have some experience in Morocco and Egypt and would like to explore more

No problem Peter RS. If you listened to the whole of the broadcast in my opinion it gives some interesting insights into the mindset of some Thais...and may help us non Thais have a better understanding about them...call it pop culture or whatever... But hey when u meet Thais in everyday life in say in Silom at night they will tell u all about the latest symphonies and architecture etc..... 😀

Please tell us about santo Domingo, feel free to message my in private

Not sure if there is a best time for Aquarius because the guys work in shifts so it is different from thermas or Brazilian saunas where boys are free agents. I forgot when the shift change was but I guess you want to go before the shift change if you want to see both shifts. I think they had only two shifts. I forgot the exact number of boys present but should be around 10 or less. But again, I haven't been there for a couple of years. In my recent (nonhiring) visit to Istanbul, I realized that the inflation has been far worse than the currency devaluation so many things got expensive, similar to cheaper western European cities. It really kills a major attraction for the city.

@vinapu with a twink! What is happening in the world!

Ag secretary says able-bodied Medicaid recipients should replace immigrant farm workforce This makes so much sense. Granted, there could be a few transition issues. If you a worthless, lazy piece of shit who voted for Trump in a MAGA dump like Mississippi, maybe you can't just pick up and move to Iowa. Trump is a genius. He'll figure that part out. And his lazy dumb ass supporters on Medicaid should love it. God how I hate how lazy they are. It is so unpatriotic! Being a Gay lib from California, I will be a bitch and suggest a few innovations. With efficiency in mind, of course. We don't want to waste precious government resources that could be going to Elon Musk. First, I think this Medicaid proposal should be targeted to Trump voters only. They should reap the benefit of their vote for government efficiency. Lazy liberals in California who didn't support this cruelty should be exempt. What good are they, anyway? Second, unlike Zsa Zsa, Trump himself should get to stay in Manhattan. Or Mar A Lago. Or Saudi Arabia at whatever new Trump hotel they will build to curry his favor. Now that he doesn't have to run again, no reason for Trump to have to consort with the worthless lazy low lifes who voted for him. They should just get to work.

I listened to the first 75 seconds and then gave up. That podcast is frankly misnamed. It really has precious little to do with the "Arts" in Thailand or of Thailand. It's almost exclusively about pop culture. No problem with that, except that is how it should be titled. Thai "arts and culture" cover quite an array of different art forms from Khon and many other forms of Thai classical dance, painting including the stunning frescos in many temples including the stunning Temple of the Emerald Buddha, ceramics, traditional Thai puppetry (the Joe Louis Thai Puppet Theatre is stunning), the dfferent forms of Thai architecture, Thai classical music as well as the work being done by the country's more modern symphony orchestras and ensembles etc. etc. Any programme about the arts of Thailand should also spend a few minutes on how that cuture has developed, particularly in its relation to religion and history. Sorry @zombie! Probably a great listen for those only interested in pop culture. But the podcast is not what it portrays to be!

That is both encouraging, in the context of a very sad story, and actually a little surprising Meaning that there were actually countries with open doors for them to go to. Certainly not the US right now. But it shows you what one person with a heart and a mission can do. And where the passion that helped fell Biden and Harris is coming from.

This makes me wonder, do you ever have to ask a boy to be clean “down there” or is it a given they know to be clean? Do they usually shower before you off them? It sounds like Thais are very into hygiene so I’m assuming this does not need to be said.

I have described most of my firsts in other posts and so will not waste others' time repeating them here. Like many who had been sent to a boarding school when quite young, I quickly learned about mutual masturbation and other boyish activities by the time I was 10. Not being able to cum even though having an orgasm was a major concern when others were spraying so much. But then soon all that changed. I had crush after crush when I moved to a day school aged 12. But I was too nervous to do anything about them. Eventually along with my next door friend, my age and at the same school, experimented a bit, but it was really only for mutual release. Real love (at least that is how it felt) came into the equation in my second year at university. For almost a year I lusted after one boy/young man not realising that he was also lusting after me. One day in a quiet college room we finally realised this. He was staying in one of the halls of residence where we arranged to meet the following afternoon. That felt like sparks of magic were happening! For a while we were inseparable. But then he had to move away and ever so slowly those sparks lost their brightness. But others appeared! I remain happy that I remain in contact with that first love of my life. Every year when I return to the UK for a couple of weeks, we meet up for a lunch that ends up far too drunken for us to remember much afterwards. But they are happy occasions. Rarely do we ever talk about our university years. But we remember them.

I recently listened to this podcast coming from Bangkok. If you have the time its' worth a listen Some interesting culture especially in particular about ghosts and gays! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct6ztf

In all my years in Thailand i have never listened to the BBC's broadcasts. Before then for a couple of decades in Hong Kong I almost always tuned in to what was then called the BBC World Service, a 24-hour English channel with news on the hour interspersed with a number of very good programmes. I'm not even sure if it exists any more. My very first job after university was as a trainee with the BBC in London. We had to spend three months of that course working in Bush House, a very large building centrally situated in the midle of The Strand. This was then the location of the World Service. But it also broadcast programmes in a total of around 45 different languages and was paid for by the government. As Studio Managers, we rarely worked on 'live' programmes. Most had been taped in advance. So all we had to do was pick up the relevant tape from the library, go to the tiny cubicle of a studio, do all the checks and balances and then wait for the red light to come on when we would start the tape rolling. Sometimes I recall having to work the night shift when we would broadcast the news around the world starting with China and then working our way through various countries before the last one to Germany. What I remember most, though, was the basement buffet canteen. Catering for so many nationalities, it had a wondrous array of dishes i had never heard of before, let alone taste. I have often wondered if it was the cuisine in that canteen that developed my love of travel.

Any suggestions?

I have lived in Pattaya for nearly fourteen years and every day I spend hours listening to BBC Sounds, Radio 2. They have been threatening to block it to those living abroad for months but now there is a message saying it will be blocked from 21st July. I am going to miss that very much. I hate change.

I agree with you 100%. What has happened in Gaza in the last 18 months or more is one of the great crimes against humanity. Three years ago when back in the UK staying with my sister, knowing of my interest in Taiwan she arranged lunch with a lovely young Taiwanese who had recently moved into the neighbourhood and her Palestinian doctor husband. When Israel started its incursion into Gaza (which given what Hamas had recently done in Israel may have had some justification, even though Israeli intelligence had totally botched up its mandate), the doctor was immediately concerned. It was not just that his parents, brother and sister lived in Gaza, he had a total of 26 relatives living there. He immediately gave up his work as a doctor to fly to the Middle East to see if and how he could get everyone out. It took more than a year to raise the required cash from all of their friends as well as a GoFundMe page. Eventually he did get everyone out. Some are now in the UK, others in Canada and yet more still stuck in Egypt awaiting resettlement. That young man was determined to rescue his family. Hundreds of thousands of others must have wished they could have done the same but either had no clue how to achieve that goal or were unable to raise enough money. It's so dispiriting - and often makes me furious - that had Yitzhak Rabin not been assassinated in 1995 by one of his own Jewish extreme right wing, perhaps - just perhaps - everything would have turned out so differently. Netanyahu has always been a right wing zealot determined to see an end to those he perceives as Israel's enemies. Without the recent wars he himself would have been in the dock for crimes the Israeli prosecutors know he has committed. He will no doubt continue on his evil path if only to see he is six feet under before ever seeing the inside of an Israeli court.
