11 hours ago, unicorn said: The risks and benefits of infant circumcision, and the results are simply irrefutable: benefits far outweigh the risks. What a ridiculously pitiful non-argument. While one's personal preference for the esthetics of cut or non-cut is a matter of opinion and personal taste, the risk/benefit ratio is simply a matter of scientific fact and cannot be disputed.

Visitors of my generation may recall that, back in the day, photographs in Boyztown- the soi itself- were forbidden. Ambiance used to have, for many years, a very nice guy as doorman/ security guard. I respected him because he was so kind to the guys I offed, treating them as customers, the same as me. One of his tasks was to stop-or at least discourage- anyone using their cameras to take photographs of the soi. Oh for the blessed days before the advent of mobile phones! I'm only joking about that...I think.

I've learned to take what participants on an anonymous internet forum say with a bucketful of salt. In fact, I do the same when having a chat with the farang I run into in Thailand. In the margins of Thai society where the rules are different and where most farang are ensconced, they are free to re-invent and talk themselves up as they do. I just smile politely and think of it as a few minutes of harmless entertainment. I don't take them seriously and I never get offended. Who they are and what they say isn't a reflection of who I am.

Thanks. I found my hotel to be just far enough from the center to be away from the noise, but close enough to walk. It was about a 25-minute walk to Cine Lido. There are others along the Malecon that are closer. Ubers were cheap and easy and moto-Uber, while death-defying, was really cheap, fun, and fast. It’s not cheap though. I may try another hotel next time. Santo Domingo has no shortage of hotels.

Possible but I doubt it for three reasons. First if that I think price would have been higher, I’ve had guys on apps approach me first and quote much higher prices, Second I only called him down after he had been smiling at me and making eye contact for a while and finally I only asked price after he said he wanted to go with me. i think his price probably works for him as he is in my opinion best looking guy in bar with best body. The big fish in small pond works.

Final thoughts for the Pattaya leg of my trip. Whilst I like visiting Pattaya and enjoying the relaxing nature of it, I think my heart is in Bangkok where I prefer the energy that the city has to offer (not that I am super energetic). I also found it interesting that the apps (Grindr/Hornet) were relatively quiet for me, compared to other reports that I've read where they found it to be quite busy. I can only hypothesise but I feel the lack of messages I receive are due to - I look young for my age (even though I am not) - in an area where the main demographic are older caucasian males, I may be looked over in favour of older caucasian males (and I mean no disrespect when I say this). In fact, I did receive a few messages from said demographic, whilst flattering, I am more into Thai (and surrounding area) guys. - I get mistaken for being Thai - not all the time, but maybe another reason why I get looked over. - I am just ugly hahah Of the messages that I did get, there were the usual faceless profiles which I ignore, as well as some guys who aren't really my type. I mean, yes I could have been more proactive and messaged guys myself, but when there are quite a number of guys with services to offer, I would expect some offers? That being said, I was always accosted by the massage guys in the two shops near Agate, and also Soda, and whilst walking down the street with the bars, I had some interest there. So not all hope is lost. But I think I find the guys in general are just a bit too twinky for my tastes. All in all, I did have an enjoyable time and everything that I have mentioned above won't stop me from visiting again.

Good thing I had my knee pads with me for orally pleasuring two fine fine fine hard Dominican dicks at the Cine Lido, long slightly bent forward inches, just perfect for resting at the back of my deep throat. I've long been a cocksucker wearing knee pads, to keep ME comfortable sucking dudes. The first dude stood against the wall on the left with his mighty inches hanging free, with his pants and underwear around his feet. Extending my hand, seeing if he was interested, I felt his warm flesh and getting a nod of approval from him, was soon on the floor with my lips opened wide. Taking my time milking him, and just watched the crappy straight porn, I went into a meditative state of keeping that BBC or Latino dick ticking my tonsils. No hand jerking. Only throating. Only disappointment was he eventually pulled up his pants and went on his way, without giving me his load of nutt. The second HOT and hung dude was sitting in the battered section to the right, and the space in front of him free of a (missing) seat. Before getting down, I pretended to beat my meat staring at his crotch. His pants were zipped up, so I didn't see the massive meat he was packing. Truly a masterpiece of Dominican dick and he had a bit of enthusiasm, occasionally pushing my head down on his cock. Again, no rush throating in a fantasy sucking scene, but this dude knew I was a slave to his cock and all it had to please my queer throat, ending the liaison by spilling his load of nutt in my mouth. Tasted really excellent. Yeah, I swallow wadds. Gotta say, the majority of times, and there have been many by this cock-hound, when it just wasn't worth the trek from El Conde to Cine Lido. Have long wanted to take a rent boy I'm comfortable with, and whose good with a camera, and shoot a video there. I wanna show off my oral expertise in public, on tape, and maybe attract a crowd. Get the men to line up and feed me their BBC. Thanks for starting this thread, and getting me excited to the point I shared an old vid of mine, with one of Manny's rent boys. Hoping to get to Santo Domingo in February, maybe even around February 27th, Independence Day, which is on a Friday of what is sure to be a very happening weekend.

I enjoy curling!

The guys I met with whilst in Jomtien: Bar Boy 1: I met this guy on my last trip in January 2025 who gave me a bit of a 'boyfriend experience'. We were in contact throughout the year and he really likes me but I don't feel the same which is why I had to limit my interactions with him after a while as it became too much for me. I do enjoy hanging out with him and consider him a friend. I didn't tell him I was coming to Jomtien so the night I turned up to his bar unannounced, he was so excited and had to stop himself from crying. It was a nice reunion and I had a drink at his bar each night whilst I was there to support him and the bar. To be honest, the more someone attaches himself to me (outside the bedroom), the more uncomfortable and less attracted I feel (I'm weird I know) so when he asked if he could spend a night with me, the answer was always 'maybe'. I eventually came clean and told him that I didn't want to sleep with him and that I know he likes me a lot but it made me uncomfortable, and I just wanted to be his friend. He was surprisingly fine with it and he said he already knew, which to be honest, felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. We also had lunch together once and went together to The Venue to watch the show which was good and had many creative costumes. Massage Boy 1: I also met this guy in January 2025 and have been intermittently in contact. I also did not let him know I was coming, so as I was on my way to 7-11, I walked past his massage shop, noticed him and smiled and continued on my way. Then came the flurry of messages 'are you in Pattaya?', 'you just walked past me' etc. so later on I had a foot massage from him, and in the following days, 2 oil massages (once where he topped me, which he was very good at, and once where he bottomed, which he was not as good, but still enjoyable). I also had a Thai massage from him where I wasn't expecting anything, but still ended up with a handjob. He is a really sweet guy and very passionate when it came down to it. Grindr guy: So whilst sitting outside my hotel room, I often saw a shirtless guy 2 doors down outside his room smoking and didn't think much of it until he messaged me on Grindr and I found out it was said guy. He knew it was me, but I didn't make the connection. Anyway, we had a very brief hook-up as he was on his way to Sansuk but in that short amount of time, the experience was actually quite good. He was here on holiday and works in Bangkok, so I will explore that avenue when I return. Bar Boy 2: Okay so Bar Boy 1 went home a day before I left but I went back to his bar anyway to have a drink, and decided to buy a drink for another guy who I had seen working during the times I visited the bar. He was quite friendly and bubbly, and turns out is the same age as me (he showed me his license). Had been working in the bar for 2 months just to make some money as he was going back home soon. He said he could come back with me to the hotel and so he did, but I was not prepared for what was to come. So you know those silicone implants (or whatever they are) that some guys seem to have? Well he had that, and it looked really awful, his dick was nearly in the shape of a ball. I didn't say anything but I really feel for the guy as I don't know if he was hard or soft or how he could even masturbate. Anyway, we just had some light fun and he happily went off on his way. I was just kinda shocked! Earlier in the evening I also bought a drink for another guy (in the same bar) who wasn't doing much, turns out he has lived in Pattaya for 7 years and used to work in Toyboys. Massage Boy 2: I found this guy on Grindr and messaged him as he looked friendly and nice. He worked at one of the mixed-gender massage shops outside the complex so I booked for a massage and it was completely normal. No sensual and no afters. I think the venue was not conducive to extras anyway as the massage beds were partitioned with curtains rather than walls. Although it probably hasn't stopped people in the past.

Day 14 Slow day after yesterday running errands, chilling , and lunch at Foodland. Later I hired a guy off the apps for a very good massage and afters even if he didn’t quite live up to his pictures and add. After massage I headed out for dinner but got lured into pool bar for a drink. I need up just ordering pizza from Grab, great call it was about the same price to order two because of special (10 baht more) so the Loa guys there helped me eat it all along with women from 69, I had a great time. After I went to Sun massage for a foot massage. Great day!

We sometimes get a cooling sea breeze in the afternoon. The Fremantle Doctor!

No change there, then!

Has Trump spoken on the topic yet?

I fear so!

Joizy, thx so much for all the sharing. It's a pleasure to partake in the individual way u found so much joy there, and in the forthright manner u reported. I wish ur recommended hotel was closer to the center. I dont like to uber every time I want to go anywhere. I twice stayed at the hotel palacio, but m fed up with waiting 10 minutes for hot water...

Didn't see dog on the menu!

Sorry )-:

It does sound as if you do get my point. The "very dry" heat of Perth summer is the kind of low humidity (desert air) that cities in the Bangkok to Saigon belt don't experience. While the humidity in March and April in the latter cities is not as high as in the wet season, it's still palpable when compared to cities at the edge of deserts. That's why I described it as "medium high". OK, "medium" might be a better description. What you're also describing is the wind created by the temperature differential between inland and a huge ocean. The very hot desert air (50 degrees and more) tends to move, whereas in southeast Asia, the air is more likely to sit and cook. Agree about Japan (and much of China). Late June to late August is impossible for me too. What we need is a sex paradise somewhere like 10 to 15 degrees south of the equator for the midyear period. Perhaps northern Madagascar? I can't find climate data for northern Madagascar, but I can find data for Comoros Islands (12 degrees south). The coolest month there is August, with average day maximum 28 degrees and minimum 21 degrees. Sounds nice.

I agree Shae-Lynn Bourne is an excellent choreographer but we should recall that Jeffrey Buttle created most of Hanyu's short programmes. Hanyu's work with them and Brian Orser bordered on the spectacular, but then he is just such an amazing skater that oozes artistry. His short programme skated to one of Chopin's Ballades at Pyeongyang is the one of the greatest i have seen. Malinin's programme with poetry was also amazingI But I have little concern about the television commentary. I actually enjoy much of it, and to suggest it does not remark on elements of the choreography other than jumps is just not true. The artistry of a programme is frequently commented upon. Commentators do not comment generally on physical attractiveness. I happily do, though! Malinin surely has to win the gold this year. Hanyu might have won it for a third time in 2022 barring a slight hole in the ice which nixed one of his quad jumps during the short programme. It's a pity Nathan Chen is concentrating on his medical studies and will not be taking part this year.

I'm now on the other side of the gulf, in Hua Hin, so I'll update about my Pattaya (specifically Jomtien) leg of my trip. On departure day, I firstly dropped off my suitcase at the hotel I will be staying at when I return to Bangkok and then made my way to Suvarnabhumi airport where I caught the Bell Travel Service bus. You can book online and it cost 325 THB (including online booking fee). I like to take this bus as when you arrive at North Pattaya Bus Station, you are then transferred to a mini bus which will take you directly to your hotel. The bus is big and comfortable with a 1-2 seating configuration. From Suvarnabhumi to the bus station took just over an hour and a half and I was at my hotel about an hour later as I was the last to be dropped off after the other passengers were dropped off first. My hotel of choice in Jomtien was Zing and I had booked a Deluxe Twin (thinking back on it now, not sure why, but it was probably the cheapest option at the time) however when I arrived, they ran out of my room type and upgraded me to one of their Pool Suites which is their biggest room type. It was on the ground floor just in front of the pool and had a separate living room and bedroom. Obviously it doesn't have a private balcony which is what I had wanted, however the spaciousness of the room more than made up for it, and I was thankful for this free upgrade. Also, depending on where your room is, you need to walk through the outdoor section of the restaurant to get to your room which may be slightly awkward. Other things worth mentioning: Beach: I hung out at Dongtan Beach most days (except Wednesday when the beach concessions are closed). I sat at no. 20 once, and no. 28 for the rest of the times (as these are well-marked with a rainbow flag and seem to be popular among the gay clientele) and you can order lunch from one of the nearby restaurants who will then deliver it straight to your chair. Drinks and coconuts are also available and there are many passing vendors selling all manner of things. No. 28 is run by a good looking guy from Myanmar. Food: As I love eating, these are some places that I tried - - Coqtales Restaurant - this is a relatively new place just in front of Zing (and presumably related to the Coqtales bar) that has both Thai and farang food for reasonable prices. I had my favourite pad kapao gai with egg for only 80 THB - I've eaten this dish a lot around Thailand and this place was one of the best I've tasted. - Friendly Burgers - reasonably priced burgers, fries etc. that taste decent. - Sophia's - really tasty food, I had the moo krob with kale and it did not disappoint. - Pizza Lovely - thin crust and tasty pizzas here, not super cheap with a pepperoni pizza costing 189 THB, but it was good. - โอต่อง（โค้งดงตาล）- this place is near the 7-11 across from Dongtan Beach and they serve the best khao man gai I have tasted in Thailand (and for only 50 THB). They were always busy around lunch hours. Barber: I had a haircut at at GLAM Barbers and the guy that did my hair was quite meticulous and did a really good job. When I went, I had to wait about an hour, and even when I was getting my hair cut, there were a few people waiting. A regular haircut cost 160 THB and a fade haircut will cost 200 THB. I didn't venture into Boyztown or Sunee Plaza as I was in relaxation mode and too lazy to move from Jomtien Complex. More in the next post.

What else would anyone expect an American to say - even though a large majority of the rest of the world completely disagrees with that conclusion.

Fire Pam Bondi! . Replace with Lindsey Halligan. We need more ex-models and beauty queens prosecuting the president’s cases. Less thinking!!! More filler!!!

I'm not sure if I get your point. Perth is on the coast - in fact, I live just across the road from a marina, situated on the beautiful Indian Ocean. The sunsets at the moment are spectacular! However, Perth is not humid in summer; it's a very dry heat, and you can cool off a little if you stand in the shade. The wind blows in from the east, across the hot desert. We sometimes get a cooling sea breeze in the afternoon. Phnom penh wasn't humid, either; just searingly hot. There were few trees where I could seek shelter - just concrete everywhere. Humidity is the real killer for me, and it's why I never go back to Japan in June/July, which is the hot rainy season.

Don't believe so.

I always travel with a mop.
