Christian Private First Class has filed a most detailed field report of his experiences in Cambodia during the pandemic in December 2020. Interesting reading https://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2021/01/gay-activities-dec-2020-cambodia.html

He is brave and enterprising young men and it looks he has fun having all country almost to himself as far as tourists are concerned

Here is what I found: a) black circle means new unread messages in that thread b) Star is shown alongside a thread that I posted in and there are new unread messages

I doubt they'll even watch or they'll just shut it off as soon as they realize Schwarzeneggar is speaking against Trump. The fact that anyone would still support Trump and would want him leading the USA - well, I think many of you are aware of my "I Don't Get It" list - and I definitely don't get it. I never understood why anyone ever supported him in the first place.

We all know better than to take the varied medical advice that posters love giving, so my statement that rimming is safe and fun should be taken with a grain of salt. Never rim with salt on either end. That's good advice too, but don't follow it, follow your doctor's advice. My doctor once told me that rimming was God's gift to gay men! He did! Should this guy do it? It sure looks clean!

I do! I haven't had any in several years. Today - 15 August - is the anniversary of India's independence in 1947. So several weeks ago I suggested here at the nursing home that we have Indian food today. Didn't happen. So I cancelled my dinner here and ordered Indian food from a local Indian restaurant and had it delivered. There are a number of Indian staff here.

I have never been a Schwarzeneggar fan. Certainly not as a politician. Even as an actor there seemed something slightly fake about him. Maybe it was the accent, I just don't know. But he has uploaded a speech on the internet about the riot in Washington last week. I admire him for making it and I admire him more for what he says. Do watch it.

i had no idea that the Cities section was all Michael's work. Congratulations, because some are a fascinating read. I thought most cities had probably just been moved over from the boytoy site. As z909 rightly points out, just describing the experience of visiting a new city is ambitious. Adding in the gay venues is even more so. I wonder if there could be a small panel of readers in the four listed Thai cities who could help by feeding in updated information from time to time.

It does not have an end date or defined review date. Same as for entering Canada. Some mitigation measures do have a time frame, after which they are optionally extended. Those tend to be more burdensome within the country and imply that easing the measures will hinge on what the public is willing to do responsibly to impact transmission. They are also state-specific. Agreeing to not import infection, to verify same, and to follow pandemic guidelines is not such a big ‘ask’. Better to leave the requirement open-ended. Consider how challenging it is for visitors to get up to speed every time there is a new regulation introduced, amended, rescinded, re-imposed, what have you.

I doubt Oz will mind, especially if you're attempting to prove me wrong. Are you kidding me? I really don't have time for this silliness. For one, Stephanie Sinclair is a professional photographer. For two, Ziff Davis is a corporate entity that owns online magazine Mashable Inc. For three, Newsweek is a for-profit, U.S. weekly magazine. The cases involve an artist and two corporate, for-profit U.S. publishers. This is not about social media and photo-sharing among online forum users. Comparing these two cases to BoyToy's photo-sharing dilemma is LAUGHABLE. Apples and cocks. However, the Sinclair-McGucken-Newsweek cases illustrate how fucked up copyright law is right now. "In mid-April of 2020, the Southern District of New York dismissed the case filed by professional photojournalist Stephanie Sinclair against online magazine Mashable, Inc. and its parent company Ziff Davis, LLC. Sinclair alleged that Mashable and Ziff Davis infringed her copyright by embedding a photograph, previously posted to her public Instagram account, in an article without her consent. The Southern District held that the conduct did not constitute copyright infringement because Sinclair agreed to Instagram’s Terms of Use, which it interpreted to allow Instagram to sublicense public content to third-parties, such as Mashable, for the purposes of embedding. A few weeks after Sinclair was decided, the Southern District reached an opposite conclusion in a case with a similar fact pattern, McGucken v. Newsweek, LLC. On June 1, 2020, the court found that, while Instagram’s TOU grant Instagram a sub-licensable license to public content, there was no evidence of a sublicense between Newsweek and Instagram. The Southern District judges presiding over Sinclair and McGucken were inconsistent in their conclusions as to Instagram’s TOU and Instagram’s licensing of public content to third parties. As a result, the Southern District left the public wondering how Instagram users—artists in particular—should reconcile the need to pivot online with the lack of protection afforded to them when posting public content." IMO, there is legitimate concern over corporate publishers who think they can steal Instagram photos to support their online magazine subscriptions. IMO, for-profit publishers should not be permitted to use anyone's photographs free of charge, no matter the source. They should all be sued for this behavior. BoyToy forum is not a corporate, for-profit publisher. We are a small internet forum community who shares news and opinions. A very different animal when it comes to Fair Use and copyright law.

OK, I actually found the government ordinance. The online Health Declaration and Agreement to Health Measures form that you complete for Anvisa, Brazil’s Regulatory Health Authority, can be submitted by you for your boarding in printed format (ie, you print the personalized document that is produced for you online after you have filled out all of the sections), OR it can be shown in digital format (ie, the same document) on your smartphone. This Declaration resets 15 days following completion, that is, you will not be able to pull it up on your device. Therefore, the rule of thumb seems to be that you would complete it close to your departure date, but give yourself enough lead time to make sure you can enter data such as passport number, etc. The negative CoV test must be submitted as a ‘document’. The advisory does not specify format. I suspect it can be a digital version on your smartphone. Others recently through the process are able to weigh in should they choose. It would be silly to reject the report in digital format since it is much easier to forge a printed version.

Just like we all knew, it ain't over! Michael Moore said this days ago before anyone was reporting on it. A video worth watching from beginning to end. Now the reality: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/11/politics/fbi-bulletin-armed-protests-state-us-capitol/index.html

Those following the Capitol Hill riot have become familiar with the positions of the Chief of Capitol Police and the sergeants-at-arms of the Senate and the House of Representatives, all of whom have since resigned their posts. But you’ve probably heard little about their boss, the “Architect of the Capitol”. For someone who flies so low below the radar, his authority is so broad that he is the most powerful non-elected official on the Hill. A CEO of sorts. How could an architect hold sway over the those whose titles suggest overt responsibility for security and law enforcement? Well, to begin with, he doesn’t necessarily have to be an actual architect. Second, he doesn’t have to pass an exam. And third, and most important, he does have to have political connections. Unlike the sergeants-at-arms who are appointed by the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate, the Architect serves at the pleasure of the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The current Architect is J. Brett Blanton, nominated by Trump and confirmed by voice vote of the senate to a 10-year-term in 2019. To learn more about him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_Blanton Blanton hasn’t totally escaped attention. Some have also been calling for his resignation: https://www.archpaper.com/2021/01/after-capitol-is-breached-calls-for-the-architect-of-the-capitol-removal/ It was 28 years ago that the Architect’s role was popularized in Murder in the Senate, a novel co-authored by then Senator William S. Cohen, who later served as Secretary of Defense under Bill Clinton. I pulled the book off the shelf last week and find it even more timely now than when I first read it. I recommend it highly if you want to learn more about the all the places the rioters did—and did not—manage to invade and the role of politics in every phase of events on Capitol Hill. Btw, it’s about the murder of a senator. Although now out of print, used copies can be found on Amazon, EBay and other sites.

Go ahead and prove me wrong. You clearly haven't read the law, or do not understand the "fair use" provision. LOL. Please, by all means, show me one social media influencer, one Instagram star in the U.S., who has incurred "heavy fines" or "jail time" simply because they photo-shared online. What a silly crock of baloney. Watch out for those sanctions, dear. In any case of actual copyright infringement, when someone is selling someone else's work, a cease-and-desist letter comes first. Just because you receive a cease-and-desist letter does not mean a copyright case will hold up in a court of law. As I said earlier, copyright law as it pertains to photo-sharing on the internet, is changing by the day. All I can say is stay tuned.

I can’t quite envision what the revamped site will look like but I’m confident that Michael’s experience will yield a satisfying outcome. Whatever it's called (guide, advisor, directory), the one feature that attracts the most activity on any gay website is trip and venue reports. Everything else is a distant second. I don’t think there’s any disagreement on that count. Just looking over the past 10 months since the onset of Covid19, Michael’s “walk around” series that encompass news about clubs, bars, massage shops and his personal experiences have been the true lifeblood of the forum. We’ve also been fortunate to have z909’s recent trip reports and the periodic venue reports from members on the ground in Bangkok (Anddy’s posts come to mind). I don’t closely follow what’s happening in Pattaya but expats there have been providing news on the comings and—sadly—mostly goings there. I would hope that the new site will feature these types of postings in a prominent way. Although I agree that it’s difficult for any one site to be always current on openings and closings, I believe that that type of information on individual venues, both in the Silom area and beyond, will always be well sought after. (Just think how well received were the posts about the new massage shops Michael brought to our attention). I'm an occasional reader of Boy Toy's South America threads to learn about the same issues even if I have no plans to visit in the near future. The gay scene in Thailand is and has been constantly evolving. That was to be expected, even before Covid. But that doesn’t’ necessarily mean that it’s changing for the worse. We saw the closing of Soi Twlight only to be heartened by the success of Patpong 2. I remain upbeat that the venues on that popular soi will regain their prominence once Thailand opens up again (without quarantine) to other SE Asian nationals and—of course—tourists from elsewhere in Asia and the west. It’s not going to happen overnight but it is going to happen.

No, they are morons. Every one of them. Sorry, that is rude. If they still support Trump today, they are unpatriotic, unAmerican, and traitors. Yes, I actually do believe this.

I can assure you the concern is no longer underage sex. The elites loathe the idea that the country is still called the sex capital of Asia and they want rid of it. This is not new. I believe it was started by the first Thaksin regime 20 years ago with the Social Order campaigns. Poll after poll found these were very popular in both the cities and the countryside. As you suggest, what rich Thai guy wants quizzical looks when he is shopping in Paris or New York? The irony is that behind closed doors the Thais are as randy as everyone everywhere and have opportunities for sexual adventures that are probably more adventurous than those available for foreigners.. They just object very strongly to the label.

Just a reminder, no one has to attend every fight they're invited to...

His last post was on Saturday morning board time , which means Friday afternoon at where he lived so it looks it was sudden. He was always an advocate for fair treatment of boys and basher of cheap Charlies. Rest in peace

Well, we know one person nominated, Mayor (gay) Pete, you remember him, right ? The nerdy cute guy that ran against Biden for the Presidency. Now tapped (not THAT way) by Biden for Transportation Secretary.... And low and behold, a debate and criticism of his QUALIFICATIONS for the job has spilled over onto "the other site", where the critics (and obvious Trump nazis) are ripping him for NOT being qualified. To me , that's a laugh riot, considering NONE of Trumps cabinet had ANY qualification for their position other than they were either his spawn, his loyalists or his donors. So assholes, spare your criticism and direct it to where it belongs, the 4 years of the Trump debacle !!!!

I totally agree. I was really hoping for Ambassador to UN or Sec. of State. But, Uncle Joe is nothing if but boring.

I dont think his sexuality is an issue ? It shouldnt be..... I do feel however, Mayor Pete is wasted talent in his proposed position. He should have a bigger more prominent rolein a higher office.

Lol! Did he had a big fat and hard finger at least?

hmm. Ive always wanted to visit Krakow and its right across the Czech border from Ostrava.

I think the Kievian and western rural Ukrainians may be better looking than the eastern more Russian ones who may be more Tartar. I've never been but I've met many in Prague who are all pro-Russian refugees from the east. They're not that attractive to me. OTOH, no where in the world have I see the equal of the Russians on Chaturbate who all say they're in St. Petersburg. Even though it seems to be hard to meet them there.

My doctor told me today that soap killed the virus better than bleach, so, maybe, Oz! Then the doc jammed his finger in my ass...

I am puzzled at @Europeanman laughing at my previous joke. In my absolutely hilarious previous post (my comedian skills are legendary) I was referring to you. Reading throughout the thread, you seem to be passionately desperate for showing off your wealth and making excuses for your disgusting classist and racist comments. So I am puzzled. Perhaps you thought I was referring to someone else? That would be quite stupid and disappointing. Perhaps you thoroughly understood my joke and are able to laugh at yourself? That would be great, kudos to you. Of course there are still other possible explanations related to the very quality of my joke and my comedian talent. But I am sure you can let your own bitchiness to take over and inspire you.

??? What drugs are you on?

There is none so blind as those who will not see. Your posts read to me like you just don't like brown people and want to avoid them. Your shrill pronouncements about sexual predators ring hollow because you've never actually engaged with any of these guys. Suggesting you know their lives when you've never actually talked to any of them them is bullshit. Speaking in 'defense' of them when you offer them nothing is also bullshit. You are rationalizing your preference for white european guys, and trying to turn your preference into moral superiority. It isn't.

There was a guy at Pointe sauna who agreed to just about everything but rimming. He would n't even let me look at what seemed to be a wonderful ass. On our third time together, he raised his ass and made it easily accessible to my mouth. I looked, rushed, and munched on down. It was easily one of the most rimmable asses on one of the most exciting boys in a long time. It was pure delight. He had a very muscular body, smooth skin, a very smooth ass, and an anus without a single hair. That's my favorite ass, and to have such a delightful guy essentially make this a farewell gift to me is a memory to be cherished. I love Rio!

Why does a dog lick his balls? Answer: Because he can. Best regards, RA1

For those who have been following the Brent Corrigan saga... it is an interesting study in the nastiness that can happen in a relationship gone bad. It's really interesting that two competing websites have emerged over all of this... http://www.brentcorriganonline.com which is owned and operated by Brent himself... and http://www.brentcorriganxxx.com which appears to be owned and operated by Cobra video who owns many photo images and probably rights to the name "brent corrigan". It;s kind of a mess, and really unfortunate... but it is causing the generation of lots of attractive photos! For those interested in reading the entire saga of the mess from the very nasty beginning... try here. http://www.juicygoo.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.p...87ce12b34194b84 Get a nice cup of coffee before you start... it goes on and on and on!
