I just googled this incident when it happened and only found out that it happened in nigthclub. But after reading your post, i googled again and it has blown up to a slew of homophobic reportings by korean media as this were tied to gay club and sauna in Itaewon and gangnam. Being a still conservative country on homosexuality, now korean faces difficulty to contain the virus as people are afraid to come forward as this will exposed their sexuality to family and company they work with and consequences of it just too much to bear that some claimed it can or has lead to suicide. Also written on the article i read that the gov failed to contact over 3000+ of the club goer, which were given to them by the clubs. Its disturbing but the truth is when we isolate or condemning a part of a group, regardless of reason (sexuality, illegal immigrants, cult/religion) to the point that they had to pretend or go to hiding in fear of exposure, at time of crisis, itll come back at bite us. In several countries now, foreign workers turns out to be one of the center point of virus outbreak, mostly in much later stages as a second or third waves because we initially ignored them, favoring tests to our own citizen first. Now when it is found that many of them tested positive, and were living in dorms or small apartments with 15-20 pax in a place, it becomes very hard to trace the close contact in this situation. And of course the illegal ones will try their best to avoid the authority and run or hide, further make it more difficult to contain it. Korean media in the incident above plays huge role as some even releasing names and companies where the positive patient work at in the media, further fueling rage amongst the citizen and increase fear of getting tested by the club goers and this vicious cycle will only spells trouble. My own country is guilty of this too, and if this happened here, i cant say similar thing will not happened here which is sad. Lets hope the gov there will step in and do the right thing.

Welcome to the forums, jasonmike421. I didn't know that the act you mention was almost impossible. Perhaps in these trying times it can be harder to get hard. Or is the difficulty with your lips? I am not clear on this...

You would have been in heaven looking everyday at these live auditions. It was really fun to see all these boys and then see them again becoming regular models for William Higgins. I remember once a Lukas I saw during live auditions and whom I met in Prague a few days later

Dream on! Roberts sees the Trump presidency as the opportunity to stack the courts with conservative judges. He's quite happy with Trump. Right-wing power will be so entrenched for decades that Roberts has nothing to complain about.

George Cukor was 5'8". He was Hungarian-Jewish, born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. He supposedly was very smart, talented, stylish and charismatic, but he wasn't particularly handsome. I doubt there is a gay man in Hollywood, working in show business then and now, who didn't/doesn't know about George's pool parties. While watching this Ryan Murphy dud, I did not realize that the simulated Academy Awards portion of the story was near the end of the series. So I painfully watched to the finish, just to be fair. Even though Ryan Murphy got some facts correct, his timeline is so bizarre, it made absolutely no sense to me. For instance, Henry Willson signed Rock Hudson in 1947. They did not part ways until 1966, and the well-known break up was not pretty. Ryan Murphy completely bulldozed over their long and complicated relationship, a time when Rock Hudson became one of Hollywood's most famous movie stars. Perhaps that was the story Murphy should have told. I cannot forgive the miscasting of Jake Picking as Rock Hudson. In the 50's, Rock Hudson was marketed as a major leading man movie star, and he rose to the occasion. Rock had eyes and a smile that could melt any onlooker. Jake Picking looks like a dweeb alien. I fully accept it is very difficult to find actors to play Hollywood icons. But if you can't get it almost perfect, then don't do it. I also thought the actress playing Vivien Leigh was miscast. I've spoken to a few showbiz friends in the past week about "Hollywood." They tell me "the critics" panned the series, saying it was Ryan Murphy's "worst." I didn't know what to say about that, since I've seen some pretty bad Ryan Murphy productions through the years. Nonetheless, he's a gay man in Hollywood with a lot of clout. On occasion, I think he shows genius. I'll keep looking for that.

From MSN As Thailand's tourist economy suffers a near-total shutdown from travel restrictions due to the new coronavirus, employees in the industry have been forced to improvise to make ends meet. Air purser Kosit Rattanasopon, 37, has traded in his cabin crew uniform for a delivery driver's jacket, stylishly ferrying food around Bangkok on his Ducati motorbike since the Thai airline he works for grounded all flights. Kosit makes about 1,000 baht ($31.13) per day, just enough to support his father and sister, who also cook boxed meals to sell online. "I know things will not be the same again for at least another year, so I will have to keep doing this," he said. Tourism accounted for 11 percent of Thailand's GDP last year, and border closures and travel restrictions to prevent its spread are expected to decimate the industry for months to come. Those who have new jobs are among the fortunate. Some 4 million Thais work in the tourism sector, and most face a year or more of lost income until a vaccine or new coronavirus treatment allows travel to return to previous levels. Another grounded airline worker, stewardess Thawanan Thawornphatworakul, has transformed her living room into a hair salon. She averages two to three clients per day and charges 150 baht ($4.67) per cut. Thawanan, 36, said her income is nowhere near her airline salary, but it helps. "The income here helps with some expenses and pays the bills," she said. Scuba diving instructor Sermsak Posayajinda, 47, has also found a new income source, making jars of chili paste from his mother's recipes and selling them online. "At first it was only a hobby during COVID-19 period, but the results have been very good, so this will become a business for us in the long term," Sermsak said. Closure of hotels and exhibition centres also disrupted the business of Asaree Jarugosol, 36, who rents out chairs and builds stages for hotels and caterers around Bangkok. Asaree decided to retain all her staff by transforming her warehouse into a factory that makes 2,500 reusable face masks per day, first for local hospitals and now for exporting overseas as worldwide demand surges. "At first we only have one sewing machine operated by one staff ... but now we have some 40 people working a proper production line," Asaree said.

otherwise you'd grab him for sure I guess. # me too

'Cthulhu eats the little children, Eats them all day long...' The inimitable Bob Price https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_M._Price (defrocked former Baptist minister, now an avowed atheist) giving his canonical Sunday-morning closing event of the weekend-long NecronomiCon, the Cthulhu Prayer Breakfast:

Wish I had known about these live auditions. That's one of my great unfulfilled fantasies: To BE William Higgins (or George Duroy, or even Chi Chi LaRue) and have multiple guys arriving every day begging to take their clothes off.

I strongly recommend My Engineer BL series lovely actors there!

Vinapu and anndy sum up my sense of the situation. With the arrival quarantines required, I’m not up to spending 4 weeks for a night in Bangkok (apologies to the musical “Chess”)

don't read me wrong, I'm itching to go and help to lift Thailand's economy as soon as I can but reality is it doesn't make any sense to go if entry restrictions are not lifted. I even have a ticket already, useless as it is for now but Lufthansa says it will be usable all the way to Jun 2021. Of course if both me and airline will be still alive. Who wants to fly that far only to be forced to undergo quarantine of 2 weeks on arrival in Thailand and then again upon return do the same in the home country ? ( I'm not even entertaining an option on being subject of the same in point of transit , I can't fly directly from my home ) . That is thing which is holding me and countless others back

I'd rather stay home and wait until it's over

I have spoken to plenty of garotos about how they can stay aroused with any number of clients, whether it is someone who may be viewed as much older or less attractive in other ways, like too fat, too skinny, or just overall physically unattractive. They’re answer is almost always, “viagra”. But on a related note, there is this assumption from some posters here and some clients at the saunas, that somehow, relative youth = beauty and attractiveness. There are plenty of people in their 20s and 30s who are either very plain-looking or just downright fugly. For some of these “younger” guys, their relative youth is all they really have to hold onto. If I had a nickel for every person online (or even on the forums) who called himself “good looking” and “fit”...

So the Huffpost says Trump exaggerated when he said billions of lives. What did the Huff do when it said Trump cost countless lives? Apparently there are enough lies and half truths to go any where any time. Best regards, RA1
