Why the world's most powerful navy can't secure a 21-mile gap The Strait of Hormuz is only two shipping lanes wide. But here's the thing... Iran lined both sides with decades of preparation: naval mines, mobile missile batteries on the coast, swarms of fast-attack boats, and cheap drones that don't show up on radar until it's too late. The U.S. Navy was built to dominate open oceans against conventional fleets. Hormuz is a narrow alley where a speedboat with a missile can hit a destroyer before it has time to react. That's why three weeks in, oil is still stuck and the Pentagon says escorts are "too dangerous." Iran turned geography into a weapon the U.S. can't outspend.

Glad to hear that you had a good time with Kenny. Most of the guys are twinks and there are only a few there that would appeal to me with him being one.

Since @jimmie50 has announced he was forum member number 1, let me rewrite @emiel1981 report of Monday night. "The evening was a strange combination of constantly meeting forum members at different places. First, a coffee and catching up with jimmie at Starbucks, then going to meet jason and his guy at Foodland while jimmie went to wait for his guy at Midnight Bar. Next, i went with jason to meet jimmie at Midnight Bar for a drink. Jimmie left us when he went to eat with his guy at Foodland. I went somewhere to eat a bit later too. After that, i went to have a drink with jimmie and his guy at Freshboy. In Freshboys, I found it a bit awkward that the guy who had spent time with jason earlier that day was flirting with me. Of course, you know there will be guys who have gone out with multiple forum members, but when you know so clearly that this was only a few hours ago, it still makes it a bit uncomfortable. Haha After Freshboys, I went to the karaoke room at Happy Beer Garden to have a fun karaoke evening with jason and four Vietnamese guys."

@jimmie50 How did it feel meeting forum members in person for the first time? Were they how you had imagined them? Was Guido's pussy all it was cracked up to be?

very thank you

continued…Installment 17: I had originally planned to see Cam on Sunday and have him spend the night. However, I had to push that to Monday evening since Paradise guy informed me he was coming over on Sunday to spend the day with me. Chaichana guy Monday afternoon, Banana guy wants to meet again…not sure when I can fit him in to my schedule (lol), Tuesday is Rainbow Dragon guy, Wednesday will definitely be Green guy, really want to connect with Ganymede guy and Senso guy again. So many men and so little time. Was definitely an adventure with Paradise guy today. After he arrived, we decided to go and check out Wang Lang Market. It’s only open during the day, and primarily food stalls. Took Bolt as he wasn’t comfortable with me riding on the motorbike that far for at least 30-45 minutes. I certainly didn’t argue with that. Picked up quite a few snack type items to munch on when we got back to the condo. Probably spent about two hours wondering around the market. Upon our return to the condo, I was about to unlock the door and he realized he must have left his phone in the Bolt. Even though I have the Bolt app on my phone, he actually placed the order/reservation on his phone, so all of the information was on the phone still in the car. He got on his motorbike and was going to try and track down the driver since it had only been a couple of minutes. While he was out on the motorbike, I explained the situation to the doorman who suggested I try calling my guys phone so the driver would at least be aware a phone was left. Believe it or not, that actually worked. I let it ring forever, and the Bolt driver finally answer the phone. The doorman explained in Thai what had happened, so he returned to the condo with the phone. I am amazed at how honest, friendly and helpful Thai people are. If that had happened in the U.S., in all likelihood the phone would have been on the black market within seconds. lol. Crisis averted. Well, I had the phone, so no way of letting Paradise guy know that as he was still out on the motorbike. Fortunately, he returned about five minutes after that so I could show him the retrieved phone. Huge sigh of relief from us both. Spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the snacks, watching some YouTube and TikTok videos, and play time, of course. Since I never know advance what he is thinking or planning, about 7:30pm he announced he couldn’t spend the night…he needed to go home and do laundry. By 8pm he was gone. I had already shifted Cam to Monday night, so thought I would just have a quiet evening at home. Sort of been burning the candle at both ends, so to speak, and thought a break might do me some good. That didn’t last long. Around 9:30pm I got a message from another forum member who said a couple of them were getting together and going to visit the new bar, Big Boys…if I was interested in joining them. Show was to begin at 10:30pm, which gave me plenty of time to get there. Said I would join them. Stopped by Rainbow Dragon while passing through Patpong 2 on my way to Big Boys just to say hello to Ben. Ran into another forum member there and chatted briefly before heading over to Patpong to meet the other guys. In addition to the two other forum members, there was one person seated to the right of our party and two different groups of female patrons for a total of 9 customers. Four number boys were on stage when I arrived…1 twink, 1 who probably should have retired a few years ago, and 2 more muscular guys. While their new sign says ‘host’ bar, I didn’t really get that vibe. Show started around 10:35pm and was actually quite good, although rather short. Female entertainers performed well and they even had a couple of male dancers (not number boys) to assist that was obviously choreographed. One male solo dancer was very handsome, muscular, and again the dance was well rehearsed and choreographed. He was not a number boy, either. We only saw him the one time. None of the entertainers actually walked among the customers when finished soliciting tips. They simply went on stage to perform and left immediately after. One of the number boys came on as a muscle guy w/cock out and he did work the crowd. By the time the show was over I think the three of us were the only customers left. Invited the twink (from Myanmar) over for a drink, but just wasn’t feeling any connection. Bought him a drink, and provide a small tip for his time, but no off. Other two forum members decided to go to Good Boy and invited me to join them. Agreed, as I do recall seeing a couple of cuties I wouldn’t mind spending some time with. As the old saying goes…hindsight is 20/20. I should have taken the Myanmar guy home from Big Boys as it would have been a sure thing. He was eager and willing. After watching the show and narrowing down my choices to four guys at Good Boy, invited one young man who really caught my eye to join us for a drink. He is actually Thai, and as it turns out he has only worked at this club four days. Very much a novice and very ‘green’. He previously worked as a dancer with some Lion Dance Troupe in Bangkok. Not sure why the change of employment. Definitely straight, never gone with a customer before, never been with another man before…you get the general idea. Possible he has been with a female behavior. Don’t know, as I did not pursue that line of questioning. However, when it comes to the go-go club and sex with men…a complete virgin, uncomfortable doing anything with another man, and very clear that he would only sit and drink with someone. He would entertain leaving with me, but only to go to another club for a drink. To be honest, it was late, I was tired, and didn’t really feel up to the challenge of someone brand new to the business. I felt awkward about the situation at this point and felt bad about putting him in an uncomfortable position so bought him a second drink. Should have just tipped him and sent him back to the line up. He is a cutie, but not sure he will last long in this business. He said it was only his 4th day and he needed time to adjust to the situation. Either you will be ok with it, or you won’t is the way I look at it. He knew going in what the club was and the expectations of customers. Hope that does not sound harsh or cruel. Just reality. Anyway, said our goodnights and I decided to head back to the condo…alone for a change. lol. Think other forum members were headed to UNESCO Foodland. Already heard from Chaichana guy this morning confirming time, and also confirmed last night with Cam about meeting time and location…not inside Hotmale…and going to dinner.

continued…Installment 16 B: After leaving Green, I had about an hour before meeting forum members for dinner. Briefly walked around Patpong market, then walked across the street to Starbucks and had a latte while just relaxing and doing some people watching. Starbucks on Surawong near Kbank and directly across from Patpong 2 is a great place to chill out and watch people. After about 45 minutes I headed over to Soi 4. Had a great time. Enjoyed getting to meet forum members in person, sharing stories of our lives and adventures, and simply putting a face with an online name. Started out with four of us, but at some point other members joined the fun and I think we had a total of seven at one point. After dinner and conversation, several in the group headed over to Midnight Bar for a drink. Some were headed to EDT for the shower show at 11pm. I was meeting the guy from Banana Bar. He had been texting off and on since we first met about getting together again. Told him I was meeting friends for dinner at G’s, and after that I would come to the club. When I walked in it felt like I was being treated like royalty. Mamasan has a special reserved seat for me. Evidently Banana guy had informed them ahead of time that he would be going off with a customer. Had I known that, I would have just met him outside the club instead of paying for my drink, his drink and the off fee. Would have preferred to just pay the off fee. Anyway, not wanting to be totally rude since I was already inside, we stayed about 15 minutes before heading over to Midnight Bar to rejoin the other forum members. One of the other members had also met up with his ‘special friend’ from Good Boys. Stayed there until folks going to EDT needed to leave for the show, then we headed to BTS to go back to the condo for some playtime and sleep.

Repulsive, Repulsive! Let down your hair. That I may climb thy spiralling stair, To thou lice infested lair!

That was around the time I was at Magic Touch while you were at Green. One of the worst experiences I have had. I walk past Sun all the time on my way to visit Paradise. These days I am somewhat careful about going to any other shops on Soi 6. I am positive all the guys talk, share stories, and Paradise guy has spies everywhere! lol. I was walking past Green and it was far enough away that I thought it would be safe.

And I am forum member number 1...happy to report. lol.

That depends on whether he likes Thai or Chinese style chicken and cashew nuts. I prefer the Thai version as it has a lot more ingredients such as red onion, fresh chilli, spring onion and the all-important dried chilli, all of which give it that extra zing, whereas Chinese style chicken and cashew nuts only has cashews and green capsicum in it, cooked in a rather bland brothy sauce and the cashews are less crunchy as a result. My mum and sis make the Thai version. The top pic is of Thai style chicken and cashew nuts and the bottom pic is of the Chinese version. I realise that there may be regional variations to the Chinese one.

That list includes a lot of people on this forum, even ones that deny it, lol I'm out of likes for the day... is what happens when I don't check in here everyday... Off to Japan tomorrow for 9 hours then Jakarta. Still looking for some suggestions for which agency to use there, the one I was planning on, most of the guys are on holiday or not available and I don't have time to do a refresher course.... maybe @macaroni21 will message or post a summary for me, I'm not demanding it like the other fish wife, whatever that is 🤷‍♂️

I'm happy with that!

I think Javier,the owner, has drummed into the guys that they are working in a gay bar and so they must pay more attention to the guys and flirt with them. I also think that some of the guys are gay - some are just too handsome to be straight - but none ever comes across as openly gay, apart from Javier's partner. BTW, Javier has a university degree in art and we had a very interesting conversation about Valaquez's painting 'Las Meninas'. He was able to talk about it in great detail.

Hello, kitties! Is your owner home? My clothes need a wash urgently so they'll smell nice when I welcome my new friends!

Old 2014 movie that garnered a lot of positive attention when it first came out.

That used to be quite common in Taipei years ago. If you saw a barber's pole outside, you knew sex was avavaible on the pemises

The human race.

we can use some translation

I suspect @vinapu has not been to Hong Kong because there is no question the best chicken with cashew nuts is found there - and in London at some of the non-Chinatown restaurants north and west of Hyde Park. But I bet there are some great similar dishes at other Chinatown restaurants in Sydney and elsewhere around the world.

that's ok, we don't need to agree on everything . As long as we agree that day after Thursday is called Friday we are OK

As a couple of size Queens you'll be bickering like mad like a pair of fish-wives.

Sorry but i can not agree. Dancing is dancing. What you describe about a bar counter is more often than not a sort of non-existent soft shoe shuffle - the boys there for punters to see their various assets and not to dance.

where this is coming from ? What race has to do with good or bad looks ?

absolutely or like one of my friends says ' good food is not one which tastes good, but it's one which tastes good TO YOU"
