Yes size does matter -- big is ugly. Also makes me feel inferior😃

Do they actually do business that isn't porn? This seems like them just deciding to go out of business....

Perhaps porn is losing a bit of its appeal. After nearly two years of pandemic-driven growth, consumers of remote sex may be coming to realize that it can only end in the time honored--yet ultimately disappointing--solo conclusion. As a friend recently observed, "If I can't touch it, I don't watch it."

Apparently, they do. I don't know the revenue numbers, but the platform is worldwide HUGE. They're based in London. My son tells me there are a lot of women, especially younger women, who have tease sites. They barely show cleavage, but they're raking in millions. The phenomenon is truly amazing. There seem to be millions of straight guys around the globe who are willing to spend lots of money per month simply for the attention of a decent looking girl. Loneliness is quite lucrative. Your sources are wrong. It's a finance issue. They are caught up in needing to borrow money and lenders are concerned about under age sex and sex trafficking laws. There's also the issue of Visa and Mastercard, two financial institutions who want nothing to do with under age pornography and/or sex trafficking. OnlyFans claims they will allow nudity, but they will crack down on illicit sex acts. Me thinks the male hardon is "illicit," so even the tame bating videos will end. No matter who comes along to replace them, the under age/sex trafficking issue will follow. No political party wants to be on the side of child pornography or sex trafficking. When it comes to porn, it's impossible to prove anyone's identity or age.

For some people, too big is also a no.

If I like the lad, their smile, overall appearance, fun personality, etc.; I will happily work with whatever they have been blessed with,

The UK headed by BoJo the Bumbling Buffoon has made a far bigger mess of handing the pandemic with a death rate far higher than Thailand, and infections still 50% higher and deaths still 100 a day. Thankfully the excellent National Health Service has enabled a vaccine programme far greater than Thailand, but even double vaccinated people can still get really ill.

why not use T-Mobile? For $50 you can upgrade to their global plan....unlimited callas, texts and 15 gb internet....it already comes with 3g internet for free and 10 cent calls to the usa, but the 60 buck upgrade is worth it...better than At&T $10 a day

last year at this time we were all full of praise how Thailand is doing well handling covid. Now it turns is was easy handling something which wasn't there at first place. But to be honest, which government is handling covid really well ? Everywhere it looks like 'try and see" and luck or lack of it mixture

From Channel News Asia SINGAPORE: Singapore will soon allow travellers fully vaccinated overseas to be eligible for vaccination-differentiated safety measures, the Ministry of Health (MOH) announced on Thursday (Aug 19). From 11.59pm on Friday, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) will issue "tamper-proof" vaccination stickers to newly arrived travellers who have been fully inoculated with a vaccine under the World Health Organization’s (WHO) emergency use list. hese stickers will be affixed to the passports of the travellers. To obtain this sticker, travellers must produce an English-language vaccination certificate to ICA officers at immigration checkpoints when they arrive in Singapore. Vaccines under the WHO's emergency use list include Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Sinovac-CoronaVac and Sinopharm. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/travellers-vaccinated-overseas-passport-stickers-differentiated-covid-19-rules-2123246

Wishful Prime Ministering

"A US-backed President who fled the moment things began to look really bad?" If you think 20 years of failure of the Neocon plan is "fled the moment things began to look really bad", I am not sure there is a basis for discussion. This reads more like somebody with an axe to grind against Biden.

I think it is wishful thinking to imagine the exit could have gone better. It was always going to suck. Putting it off just means more bleeding before the inevitable messy exit. How many more lives and how much more money are we supposed to spend in search of something that we haven't found after 20 years on the ground?

Biden had no choice but to leave. He was boxed in by the Trump/Taliban deal and had to proceed. Also, leaving is the right thing to do. Twenty years was more than enough time to learn we couldn't actually change the local culture and have a lasting impact (duh??). It is and will continue to be messy as we exit. The images are ugly and could get worse. The potential for substantial loss of life (of Americans and foreigners) still exists over the coming weeks as our exit proceeds. It is pretty much dependent on how the Taliban acts as people try and get out. I am given to understand that many Americans and allies in the country are still not located at the airport. Will they all be able to get to the airport for safe passage out? Probably not all of them. The price we pay as we exit should be a lesson to all future leaders of the cost (in human lives) of wars and limitations that wars actually have. I support Biden's decision to exit Afghanistan (working within the timing framework set by Trump). Staying on and fighting would be pouring good money after bad there with zero chance of success. I hope the further loss of life will be minimal. I fear it won't. Oh...and let's stop pretending we can export democracy to far-flung countries that we know little about. Democracy hardly functions in the USA. You can forget about it in Afghanistan.

I’ve never really been one for writing trip reports. Nothing I put together is going to have numazu’s flare. I also have zero interest in others critiquing my negotiation tactics with the boys which are basically predicated on the fact that a night out where I live that does not involve two “lean and toned and fully vers and passionate” guys that are two-thirds my age costs a good deal more than what I spent at Lagoa on the first night I was there. That said, I have learned a good deal from this forum that was very useful when I first started traveling to Thailand several years ago and, at least of late, there has been a dearth of trip reports containing current info so (and against my better judgment), here goes: On Wednesday at Lagoa boys outnumbered clients by a good bit. Even though there were only two boys that really did it for me, most of the boys there were attractive, especially if you like muscle. Negotiations started at 200 in both cases and ended at 150 because, well, they were both really hot and I did not travel here to quibble over 50 R. In both cases though I’m pretty sure they would have agreed to 100 which leads me to Saturday night…. On Thursday, I met Gabriel at Lagoa who was absolutely gorgeous. Negotiations started at 200 and quickly ended at 100 as soon as I offered it. We ended up spending the entire night together though so I gave him more which seemed to make him very happy. While I was with him I learned that he had literally arrive the day before from Minas Gerais. Friday, I traveled to Rio and went to Point 202. Client to boy ratio favored clients just as it did at Lagoa. At Point there were two guys that did it for me and just as it did at Lagoa negotiations started at 200 and ended at 150. In this case though, I’m not quite as sure they would have gone lower if I had pushed. Unfortunately, both guys were mechanical when we got into the cabins and I don’t think I will be seeing either one of them again. I also don’t like the cabins at Point very much. The ones at Lagoa are nicer. Saturday morning in Rio I met a 23 year old using the apps. He was a total bottom which is not usually my thing but he had an incredible body and said he wanted me to “help him with his English” so I agreed to met him figuring that he would probably try and get some money out of me at some point but, well, that never happened. He really was just a hot 23 year old that liked bottoming for someone that was about 15 years older than him. If you’re wondering, yes, I did help him with his English too. He had a lot of questions which I answered as best I could. We spent most of the next few days together and I never made it to 117. A picture of him is attached to hopefully make my post a bit more interesting. Last night I was back in SP and I spent it with Tiago who was one of the guys I met on my first night at Lagoa.

I do one thai guy i know who has onlyfans, and several others thai guys are actively producing onlyfans contents and promoting it through their social media. So to answer the OP, yes, there is some that transition towards online platform. As to why people like it, its basically porn. Voyeurism, ability to ask performer to do what u want etc. For me, i am tempted, especially if the boys are those i already know. It is an alternative to actually meeting them as we all know its not possible. Having said that, like u also mentioned, free porn are everywhere, so if u pay for subscription etc, its just another way to show your support to the performers.

Well, we knew it was only a matter of time. I hope the sex workers saved all that money, because things are going to seriously change now. (I don't have a link. The news is trending all over the place.)
