The heart wants what the heart wants. I'll let you guys know how this turns out after the weekend.

This should be the official motto of our forum. Delighted for you that you are having one wish granted.

The video is lewd...basically one queen kneeling down and the other peeing on his long hair. My attitude is do your freaky, kinky shit in private. That being said, of course Bolsonaro is using it to try to act like *all* gay people behave this way. Plenty of straight people do lewd things in public during Mardi Gras and it doesn’t cause all straight people to be labelled. I think I wrote once about how certain areas of the Cinelandia theaters smell like urine, and found out later that is the “golden shower” area..

Pity we didn’t know of this opportunity earlier, we could have encouraged some of our boys to aim for a career switch. It's now a 'tournament'! Thai durian seller to host contest to pick suitor for daughter and the aftermath.... if she doesn’t want him, I’ll have him Thai durian trader rejects daughter’s suitor for being “too handsome”, cancels 10,000 men marriage contest

wishing you good luck and waiting impatiently for news how it turned out

My transfers are most usually 10k EUR, to my regular that is myself haha. Sometimes, I do more than 10k, or rather have to, but still do it in 10k increments as larger amounts (not sure where the threshold is, may be 12500 or even 20k) incur additional scrutiny (money laundering and all that BS). The current fee for that is 53.76 EUR. Never used a credit card for TW, never even considered it or thought it was an option. Might look into it, though my amounts are too large for that anyway.

I am going back 10 years but I used to send 10,000 baht every 2 months 5000 baht a month was to pay his rent and service fees in a decent condo. He was very appreciative and he must have been happy as he became my UK Civil Partner and after 10 years we are still happily together

word 'probably ' is completely unnecessary in your sentence

From the UK Transferwise charge on sending 1000 GBP to Thailand is 6.96 GBP paying them by bank transfer and 8.95 GBP if you pay by debit or credit card

Ill add my feedback....I just got back from Salvador at the beginning of February...Went on GOL...No TVs from MIA to Salvador...night flight was fine...day flight sucked coming back to the states I go to Rio 5-6 times a year...Hence I love it more Salvador has definitely has more darker skinned Brazilians...tons of beautiful people...the apps work well...As far as bi play..I strongly suggest you know some Portuguese are you will definitely get somebody who is savvy to get you out of your money getting what you are looking for... There are female escorts/prostitutes and the rule of thumb is the more English they speak, they more savvy they will be in getting you out of your money...UNLESS you are very attractive and you may get pussy for free... Villa Mimosa is a favorite of mine in Rio...use google to see vids and pics...rachet but women all over the place just for SEX... As far a bi play with a couple or a sauna boy/male escort...Money talks so that shouldnt be a problem.. Make sure you confirm price, use your best judgement and don't do anything that would get you robbed or worse... Both cities have the same level of danger to me...you pay attention and try not to go places that arent well lit or have a lot of people around The women AND men all beautiful all over Rio so you wont lose going to either city... Its a matter of slow, laid back vs more high pace, definitely more beach life and larger beaches in Rio....

All your posts could not have been more timely. I just received an urgent SOS from a boy last night and though I’ve tried to make it a rule not to send money from overseas, I agreed to send him something to tide him over. So here comes my first, virgin transfer of money to a Thai boy. This, I hope, it’s a one-off but something tells me it probably won’t be! Signing up for my Transferwise account in a few hours. If there is anything else I should bear in mind, please do mention. Out of curiousity, for those of you that send money to regulars, how much do you send?

I am here in Rio now and Carnival is over tonight. As a USA friend who lives here said--Carnival is the best and worst of Rio--and I tend to agree having been here for four Carnivals. On the good side the city is generally in a festive mood with street parties everywhere and many people wearing costumes that are amazing or some just simple and fun. There are lots of hot guys in gender bending costumes that adds to the eye candy. The saunas have been full of guys and the party is full on there! The Sambadrome where the floats that make Carnival so famous is really an incredible spectacle that I never get tired of. There is a gay party on Friday night of Carnival that gives you front row seats and open bar with admission called Candybox. You can buy tickets online a few months before. There were heavy rains earlier in Carnival this year but it didn't stop the party. One final good note---city services and trash collection seemed to be pretty organized and cleaned up effeciently after the big events--unlike a previous year I attended when they chose Carnival to go on strike. On the bad side crime and yes violence is rampant. First day of Carnival I saw tear gas fired by police at Ipanema to break up crowds causing people to panic. Another night I was walking on Farme de Amoedo and someone attempted to rob me--but since I had nothing with me they got nothing(this was an aggressive grab in my pocket while I was distracted by three twinks whom I suspect were working with the guy. My cell and most of my money were locked away in my apartment). Two other well traveled friends had their cell phones taken within hours of arriving( one wall pulling it out to call an Uber). Tonight several local guys told me that 5 people were shot in a fight between "gangsters" and police at the beach in Ipanema just down from the gay beach toward the Arpoador--and again more tear gas fired. Since I did not see this incident I cannot confirm it. What i did see tonight was a big fight on Farme de Amoedo that spilled into Gallitos Grill despite metal barriers with several staff joining in and customers fleeing. Police eventually arrived and occupied the restaurant with about 20 officers standing guard. Well for me that was the end of the party. I still have a lot of fun at carnival but it is a crazy time in the city and I really feel it is not the best time for someone's first trip to Rio. Anyway I thought I would share my observations.

Here is the story about the shooting in Ipanema during Carnival--just down from the gay beach. https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/rio-de-janeiro-registers-seventy-shootings-during-carnival/

Love TransferWise here too I send Money from my Irish AIB account to BFs Kasikorn just after midnight... by the time I wake up its already after arriving to his account (and usually spent already!)

The president of Brazil does not know what a golden shower is? I thought he and Trump were pals! Anyway, he went on about a guy pissing at Carnaval: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jair-bolsonaro-golden-shower-video-carnival_n_5c7feb3fe4b06ff26ba49c7d

I’ll be honest if it’s your first trip to Brazil I would stick to sex in the saunas or love motels. definitely do dinner with a garado but taking it back to your place man may not be the right move. All about your comfort zone.

But Mekhin is close to the standard, he does not overcharge...I hope its the same with Arm but not so sure on this. Anyway, I'll soon find out...

money gram (just as Western Union) is a major rip-off. Not only do they charge rather high transfer fees, but also give very poor exchange rates, thus charging you twice with a hidden fee. good point, if it is recurring fees they may be prohibitive over time. As for Transferwise, I have now used them multiple times and they have markedly improved since about a year ago. A year ago, when transferring EUR to THB, they would NOT guarantee you the exchange rate, so you were still at risk of a market fluctuation by the time the money you send reaches them and they do the actual conversion. Of course, such market fluctuation will ALWAYS be against you, by virtue of Murphy's Law. I have done two simultaneous transfers a year ago using Transferwise with the apparently better fx-rate but higher stated up-front fee, as well as Transfermate with only EUR 15 flat fee (for ANY size amount) but additional cost embedded in the fx-rate spread. With Transfermate, the fx-rate is fixed as you do the transfer transaction on their website, so I knew exactly what I'd get (which is, or was, an advantage in and of itself). On Transferwise, the exchange rate was better than TM's at the time I did it, with a clearly stated fee, giving me a higher THB amount (forget by how much) than TM - BUT not guaranteed until actual conversion about a day later. Inevitably, exchange rate moved against me and in the end I got almost exactly the same THB amount on both. Now as I said TW has improved and guarantees the fx-rate I think for as long as 48 hours. With that they now beat TM every time I have compared them, so been using TW. I also like TW's concept of stating a %age up-front fee, which looks rather high compared to other sites, BUT giving the (normally by definition untradable) mid-market rate. Very clear indeed. Many (most?) other sites advertise very low fees, but then make their money (and your cost) through the fx-rate spread. One such example is Revolut, which a friend of mine is using (he also has their debit card, ostensibly fee-free). They have I believe no conversion "fees" (also none on foreign use of the debit card), but I calculated a 2% spread to mid-market on an example debit card transaction my friend showed me. So much for free.....

Hi all! So I went to Bangkok back in 2016 and I was always meaning to write up a trip report but just never got around to doing it. So I thought I would do it now whilst I have some spare time, plus am returning to Thailand in the next couple of months. Better late than never I guess. A bit of background, (was) 32 years old, Filipino/Australian heritage. Shy, small in stature, and look a bit younger than I am (thank you good Asian genes), and it was my first time to Thailand. It doesn't contain heaps of sex stuff, so apologies, but here goes: Day 0 Flew from my home city to Singapore, where I had an overnight stopover. Invited a 'massage' friend to spend the night with me. I met this guy when I was last in Singapore a couple of months before my Thailand trip, and we got along quite well. Last trip I booked him for an hour and he stayed for like 3 hours and even bought me McDonalds afterwards. Anyway it was good to see him again. Day 1 Since I was staying at one of the airport hotels, I caught the skytrain to the terminal that I needed to be at, my friend saw me off, and I eventually boarded the plane. Landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport and was expecting huge queues and chaos in immigration, but it turned out that there was hardly anyone there. I was out within a few minutes. Good time of the day to land I guess. Waiting for my luggage took ages, but once I got my luggage I went and changed some AUD into THB and went to get a tourist sim from DTAC. Found the taxi stand, showed him where I was staying on my phone but I don't think he quite understood but we got there in the end. The driver's English was limited but he did attempt to make some conversation including "many lady company" and "bang bang". Oh if only he knew. Arrived at my hotel (Hotel Muse on Soi Langsuan) checked in (there wasn't a check-in counter, but there were all separate desks to check in which I thought was a nice touch). Whilst checking in they brought over a sample of 4 different (alcoholic) drinks). My room wasn't ready yet since I arrived before check-in time so I went and sat in the bar and had some Singha. Shortly after, one of the hotel attendants took me to my room (it was huge!) and carried my suitcase (never had that happen to me before!) and I slept for a while as I was exhausted. Upon waking, I went for a walk to find dinner, couldn't decide on anything so returned back to my hotel and got room service. Day 2 A few weeks before my trip I had organised a travel companion for two of the days I was in Bangkok. Just found his website randomly on google. We had a big day planned, so he met me in the Lobby in the morning and the first stop was to a tailors (State Tailors) because I wanted to buy a suit or 2 whilst I was there. I had a look through some magazines to see what styles I liked, and chose some fabrics, and the tailor told me a price for the 2 suits (includes 2 pants, 2 jackets and 2 shirts) which was a little too much more than I could afford. I told him that I could only afford 1 suit. So he crunched some numbers and got me a price of 14500 baht for the 2 suits. I then had a think, and thought that if I had 2 suits made for me in Australia, the price would be in the thousands. So I accepted, since it would be a worthwhile investment. I got measured, paid my deposit then off we went. We walked to Sathorn Pier and took the boat to Wat Po and the Grand Palace (beautiful but so busy). Afterwards, took a tuk tuk (hated it) to Phanfa bridge and took another boat to Jim Thompson's house. I went on the tour and it was really quite an interesting story. Afterwards, I took the skytrain back to my hotel for a rest. My guide then met me again later and we went into Soi Twilight (my first time!), had dinner at Maxi's first, then went into x-boys (I think), and just sat and had a drink. There was this guy, number 19, who kept smiling at me but I didn't call him down. We then went to dreamboys to see the show, and wow. Having never experienced something like this in my life, it was amazing. Didn't off anyone that night as I was too tired. Day 3 I had today on my own, so my first stop was to a clinic where I had a consultation about a cosmetic procedure I want done, then I went back to the tailors to try on the (unfinished) suit, and made some adjustments, then found my way to Arena. My heart was beating quite fast because I was nervous! Anyway, I went in and the guy at the counter didn't say much. He didn't really explain anything, just sat with me while I chose. It took me a little while, but there was this one guy who was smiling at me and was cute. His name was Art (I think) and he was my age. Went upstairs, had a shower together and he started massaging me. After a little while he said "I fuck you?" and I was like "okay, but be gentle" so he put a condom and lube on and started to put it in, but I don't have anal all that often so it kinda hurt a bit so we didn't do it for very long. We just sucked and jerked each other off for a while. It was satisfying, but nothing earth shattering. The shower decided to not work afterwards, so I had to go without. I tipped him 1500 because he was a genuinly nice guy, wasn't cold, and kept saying that I was lovely. Whether he says that to all of his customers, I don't care, it made me feel good! After that I went back to the hotel (was proud of myself for navigating the BTS all day), and went to Siam Paragon later on to browse. My favourite was the floor with all of the luxury cars - how do they even get them there?? Day 4 Today started good but ended bad. Another big day was planned, so I met with my guide and drove to the Rom Hoop Market and watched the train go past which was kinda cool, then afterwards went to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, which again was pretty cool. Bought a fake LV bag on the way out for 1000 baht, no idea why. It was too expensive, and I never even used it! We then drove back into the city and had lunch at a restaurant in Silom (I forget the name now). Had pad Thai and some sort of mango shake. After that I went back to my hotel for a rest, and the plan was later on we would visit Babylon, have dinner at Asiatique, and then visit Soi Twilight again. What happened was (too much information ahead, I apologise) I had a nap, and upon waking my stomach was feeling a little off so I messaged my guide and postponed to meet by an hour, in the meantime I was stuck on the toilet pissing out of my ass, my guide ended up coming to the hotel and I met him in the lobby where he gave me some medicine, went back to my room, proceeded to vomit, which smelt like my pad Thai lunch, and at one point I was feeling really faint and ended up passing out. I woke up a little while later laying down next to the toilet with a bruise on my head (must had hit my head on the toilet on the way down). It was kinda scary. I don't know what caused the food poisoning, but I figure it may have been from my lunch (pad Thai, might have been from the prawns, or the mango shake may have been made with ice that was from tap water). I was kinda annoyed but the worst was over and I slept on and off that night. Day 5 I didn't want to go out today as I still felt a bit ill, but I needed to pick up my suit, so I had one of the hotel staff hail a taxi for me, I went to the tailors, tried my suits on (they were absolutely perfect, worth all the money I paid for them), paid the balance, the guy even chucked in a free tie. Afterwards, I hailed a taxi all my myself (was proud of myself) and spend the rest of the day in my hotel room feeling sorry for myself as this was not what I wanted to do on my holiday! Day 6 Still wasn't feeling 100% better, but decided to venture out for a while today. I ended up going to the Chatuchak market which was huge, and bought a few nice shirts. I was feeling still a bit weak so I just went back to the hotel. Day 7 My last day. I was feeling slightly better today so I went out to Siam Paragon and was craving some western food. Normally if I am in a foreign country I don't eat the western food, because I can just get it back home, but today I had a burger and fries and it was amazing. After browsing for a bit, I ventured out to Baantewa, getting a little lost in the process. I chose a small, but strong guy named Dan, and the massage started pretty normally and then got heated, he was a really good kisser, and then he said those magic words, "I fuck you now?" and I was a little apprehensive because I was still not feeling quite right, but I relented and was glad I did because it was actually really good lol. He called me sexy and kept saying "I like you" and again, I don't care if he says that to all of his customers, it made me feel good. Tipped him 2000 baht and was on my way. Later that night, I had dinner at the hotel's rooftop bar and it was nice just looking out at the view. Day 8 Back to Australia today. I'm a bit of a stress-head when going to airports so I feel the need to get there quite early. I figured traffic would be a nightmare, but then ended up getting to the airport 4 hours early. A little too early. But anyway, the rest of the trip was uneventful, made my connection in Singapore on the way back to my home city. Afterthoughts: Would I say that this trip was a success? Yes and no. The whole food poisoning thing was a bit of a downer and took time away from my plans, and I didn't off any guys really. Had a couple of massages which were nice, but there wasn't much action on Grindr either. I dunno? Maybe I didn't put myself out there enough, I'm quite a shy person normally. But I'm glad I went. I got to experience things that don't normally happen in my home city. And the Thai people are really nice people. I had random people speaking to me in Thai on a few occasions - do I look Thai? haha. Anyway I'll be going back to Thailand in a couple of months, this time staying in Pattaya (also going to Cambodia, Phuket and Phillipines) so I'm going to do it right this time! Thanks for reading

I was there in October last year. Its my favourite. The boys are bigger and older than those is fresh boys, classic etc. my tip is to get there early, say 9 to 9:30, sit at the seats along the wall right in front if the stage. While there are a few guys on stage the others sit along this wall and its a great opportunity to check out the guys, chat and watch.

2 weeks to go and i'm in town...……………… way hay!

The narrator makes a good point. Although Spanish and Portuguese are related languages, Brazilians get somewhat offended by Americans and Europeans thinking of Portuguese as being the "little brother" or, even worse, a "variation" of Spanish. He uses a one sentence example containing all cognate words, to show how "easy" it is to understand Portuguese. However, when you enter the world of sex with Brazilian men, you'll encounter sentences like this (from an ad for a GP, i.e., garoto de programa): Here is my translation of the ad: However, if you try to put this GP's ad through Google Translate, here's what comes out: You might end up wondering, "What scene is that GP really into?!"

I went last year (2018) I met 2 guys on Grindr. One was 19, the other 21. I could have met perhaps 2 or 3 more also. But ran out of time. Both quite nice guys. Not really escorts as such. But willing to see a guy in his late 30's (me) for a fee. Actually, nothing was arranged up front. Just at the end, they asked if I could 'help'. Which was completely expected. And of course I did not mind. I asked how much they would like, and really they would be happy with 50 euros, but i gave them that, plus also 1000 to 1500 UAH, which is only about 25 to 35 Aussie dollars. Plus I gave Maxim, a 50 Aussie note at the end to remember me by! But I think he cashed it in. Actually both were happy to come back and see me again, which they did (not together). I actually not into penetration at all, so really, just kissing, sucking, plus massage and feeling there bodies. plus we went out to dinner a couple of times, and I went to the market and got some drinks. So I'm easy! But yes, I like Kiev, I've been now 5 times. I'm quite shy so I don't really go up to anyone in the street. But lots of beautiful straight guys around. Actually I think Ukraine, and Kiev are on the move, after some pretty tough economic times (and still not great). I say this to people, and they don't believe me, but Kiev is so cheap for an Australian (and therefore cheap for an American). It's actually cheaper than Thailand or Bali for eating and drinks. And a single trip on the metro costs something like 20 cents. I have only been in the summer I should add. I would like to go in winter, but a Aussie like me would probably freeze to death!

I'll be in Copenhagen soon for business. I enjoy blond bottoms.

There are moments when language barriers cause things to go terribly wrong. When the golden shower started, I knew this was one of those moments. I removed myself from the line of fire quickly. The garoto was apologetic, saying disculpe! and speaking rapid fire portuguese that I didn’t understand. I have literally no idea what I did or said to cause the garoto to commence this “surpise.” In saunas, one must occasionally expect the unexpected. I wiped myself off with a towel and went to shower. I felt bad for the cleaning lady..

Every one chill, it is all within the same hundred yards anyway, if we really want dick, we’ll find that internet café. Jeez.

If I was a garoto I would demand that the session take place at a fancy hotel...in the lobby!

So this afternoon I went to Lagoa again and got there around 6pm. Surprisingly, it wasn’t busy at all, although things started picking up around 7pm. I spotted an Arab-looking hairy, muscular body-builder type that I had spoken with yesterday named Antonio. Hyper-masculine guys aren’t usually my type, but he was actually charming, and proved he could kiss beforehand, so I decided to give him a shot. He was a total activo, and was extremely dominant in bed. He stayed hard the whole time and definitely knows how to fuck. He was not warm and cariñoso, but at least he did kiss. While he was fucking me doggy style he was putting his tongue in my ear, gently nibbling my neck, and whispering presumably the only words he knows in English...”do you like when daddy fucks you?” After going to the gym for a while, I decided to relax in the jacuzzi (hopefully it has been cleaned since yesterday). While there I spotted a garoto with a slim but toned build and a very handsome face. He was stroking his cock when he caught me staring at him. He came over to introduce himself, a Paulista named Guillherme. I could tell immediately that he was exactly what I was looking for. He was vers, said he sucked, and was very sweet, affectionate and liked to cuddle. As soon as we got to the cabin he started enthusiastically giving great head, which was amazing since Antonio ignored my cock the entire programa. 69ing ensued, and Guillherme offered to ride me, which I obviously couldn’t turn down. He was very tight, and after doing various positions I came inside him (with a condom). He cuddled with me afterwards, which was sweet, and I offered to buy him dinner while we watched the show. The strippers at Lagoa are gorgeous in my opinon. Two really stand out the most, I will try to find pics of them somewhere. My only complaint is when they come out hard at the end, they quickly rush off the stage to have audience members put their underwear on. Would be nice if they would dance to an entire song nude. Has anyone experienced the garotos at Lagoa being snobby about which rooms you take them to? They have 4 selections, ranging from cabin (18 real), to room (25 real) to suite (45 real). One garoto started pitching a fit when I told him I was getting a cabin. He told me he only works in suites. After this somewhat shocking display I immediately told him it wasn’t going to work out and cancelled the programa. Also fyi, make sure to tell them you dont need lube or condoms, they charge excessively for them (I think 16 reals). My total bill was around 165 reals for entrance, drinks, food and 2 rooms for 25 reals each.
