I gave up on money boys
splinter1949 and 5 others reacted to reader for a topic
I said it over five years ago and several times since: trip and venue reports are the meat and potatoes of this forum. But readers also repeatedly show their appetite for controversy. On July 27 I posted this is the "I went to dream boys last night and drinks price is horrendous" thread: "The most popular posts within the forum invariably relate to trip reports and venue reports. Readers have also displayed a taste for controversy, Take this thread, for example. Although it was started only a few months ago, it's attracted 5.3k views and received 132 replies. (And those numbers only count views by logged on members; not the many many non-members who view the site)." In the three weeks since then, that thread has gone on to log 7.2 thousand views and 167 replies. That is one of the great benefits of this forum: members--for whatever reason--pick up one theme and feel free to run with it. Sure, it soon gets off topic but opinions and information are exchanged in the process. I post a lot of stuff I understand has limited interest to those seeking only sex-related information. I look for items in Thai politics, crime and generalized Southeast Asia travel and current events. Those without interest simply pass it by. I believe that's how it's suppose to work. But there still plenty of posts here for those who want their meat and potatoes without appetizer or dessert. đ6 points -
Chinese tourists to Thailand may drop as tour group restrictions lift
Ruthrieston and 3 others reacted to PeterRS for a topic
It is not just visa processing issues. As my friend from Shanghai informed me earlier this week, after covid many Chinese no longer have valid passports and the backlog is such they will wait many, many months for new ones. Another factor affecting Chinese demand must surely be the dreadful state of the nation's economy. It has failed to recover from covid anywhere near as quickly as most thought and 2022 saw its worst economic performance in decades. The country is now in recession. The property market is suffering massive declines, far more than in previous years. Unemployment amongst the nation's youth in the 16-24 age range rose to a record 21.3% in June. 11.58 million university graduates are about to be thrown into a job market with few jobs to go to. President XI has urged them to go work in the countryside - echoes of the Mao era. None now want to do so. Then throw in the work force that is starting to show signs of rapid ageing thanks to the now abandoned one child policy. The losses of once the largest property developer Evergrande rose to US$340 billion last year, making it the global real estate's largest indebted developer. To all intents and purposes it is bankrupt. Hot on its heels, this week now the nation's largest developer, Country Garden, warned the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that it will see a $7.6 billion loss for the first 6 months of this year. No less than 30 real estate companies have already defaulted on overseas loans. The government has increased loans to the sector but they are essentially a pittance that will do nothing to stop the slide. Worse for the government, in a country where it is usual to pay much of the value up front for property, last year millions of mortage holders rioted when developers could not deliver promised apartments. Indeed, many had stopped construction altogether. Given that China's construction market accounts for a third of the nation's economic output and about 70% of personal wealth, economists agree that the present crisis affecting disruption of such a massive sector will inevitably have an affect on the global financial system. Little wonder that President Biden has warned that China is a "ticking time bomb". Clearly many Chinese will still have the desire and the funds to travel. This group will no doubt fill up quite a few aircraft. But for the next few years the Chinese travel bubble is dead. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-66470170 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-624029614 points -
From Philippine Daily Inquirer / The Nation Some of the most basic superstitions include not going home straight away and covering all the mirrors in the place the wake is being held Filipino superstitions can be a big deal. No matter what belief system people adhere to and where they live, Filipinos can be an awfully superstitious bunch. All sorts of beliefs and practices have been passed down since time immemorial. Some of them are still practised widely today - and some of us may not even know their superstitions to begin with. There are all sorts of superstitions people practice in daily life, but the more important superstitions (that can be a big deal for the older generation) usually pertain to big life events. Births, weddings, birthdays, and certain holidays have important practices tied to themâand those practices donât just stop when someoneâs passed. Superstitions surrounding death are especially interesting and commonly practised by Filipinos around the world. Even during pre-Hispanic times, our ancestors have already cultivated their own set of beliefs. Those beliefs have ended up blending into the Christian narrative the Spaniards introduced, which makes for some pretty interesting superstitions. Here are some of a few interesting Filipino superstitions surrounding death that are still practised today. Continues at https://www.nationthailand.com/world/asean/400301833 points

From Men's Health WHEN YOUâRE DEALING with erectile dysfunction, you usually have to make an appointment with your doctor to get treated. But, soon, youâll be able to pick up medication at your local pharmacy without a prescription. The Food and Drug Administration just granted over-the-counter sale marketing authorization for MED3000, a topical gel created to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). The medication was developed by U.K.-based Futura Medical and will be the first topical OTC treatment for ED thatâs available in the U.S. without a prescription, according to a news release. âOver-the-counter medications play a significant role in providing accessible and convenient treatment for a wide range of common health conditionsâwith erectile dysfunction being a very common condition,â says Amy Pearlman, M.D., a Miami-based board-certified urologist specializing in male sexual and hormonal health and co-founder of the Prime Institute. Eroxon, the brand name for MED3000, is currently available in Belgium and the U.K. It claims to âhelp you get an erection within 10 minutes.â But, even with the OTC medication available, itâs still a good idea to see your doctor, Dr. Pearlman says. ED can sometimes signal an underlying medical problem, like heart disease or diabetes, that needs to be treated separately. Here are five things to know about the new topical gel and how it can help if youâre struggling to get an erection: 1. It Targets the Problem and Works Quickly. Being a topical means MED3000 targets your penis directly and offers a âquick onset of action,â Dr. Pearlman says. âPeople love spontaneity when it comes to having sex. MED3000âs 10-minute onset of action may be a game-changer when it comes to optimizing spontaneity.â Oral medications, like Viagra and Cialis, which require a prescription and are commonly used to treat ED, can take 30 minutes to take effect, she adds. Injections take less time to work, but theyâre invasive and might deter men from using them. 2. Side Effects Are Minimal. Topicals tend to have a lower risk of side effects compared to oral medications, Dr. Pearlman says. Clinical trials for MED3000 found minimal side effects. There were some reports of headaches and nausea, however. No side effects were reported in sexual partners. Oral ED medications are generally well-tolerated, Dr. Pearlman says. But, some side effects, including flushing, heartburn, sinus congestion, and headaches, might prevent some men from taking them even though they work well. 3. You Should Still See Your Doctor. The OTC gel for ED will help you get relief quickly. But, keep in mind that ED might signal an underlying medical problem, like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, low testosterone, or sleep apnea. âThe penis is often considered a barometer of overall health,â Dr. Pearlman says. âWhen men present to a healthcare provider with erectile dysfunction concerns, it allows the healthcare provider to evaluate the man for other health conditions.â She recommends trying MED3000 while waiting for a doctorâs appointment, which can take time. But, you should still see your doctor to discuss other health issues. 4. Itâs Most Beneficial When You're Healthy. For any ED treatment, youâll benefit most when youâre generally healthy overall. That means eating healthy foods, exercising, getting good sleep, limiting stress, and treating other health conditions that might cause ED, like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and low testosterone, Dr. Pearlman says. Thatâs why itâs always good to talk to your doctor about ED. 5. Itâs Unclear When It'll Be Available. It might be a while before MED3000 is available at your local pharmacy. A spokesperson from Futura Medical said theyâre still working out the details on a specific timeframe for the U.S. release and price tag for the OTC treatment for ED. âWe are currently in discussions with potential commercialization partners,â the representative said. Dr. Pearlman says the availability of an easy-to-access treatment for men dealing with ED is welcome news. âAs a specialist in male sexual health, I am excited to learn more about this therapy and delve into the research to better understand its safety and effectiveness, as well as which men may benefit from its use,â she says.2 points

Earlier this year (May 2023) Lindsey Graham claimed the focus on Clarence Thomas is an unethical initiative by the Dems to delegitimize a conservative court. But by now isn't it clear Uncle Thomas is largely responsible for the fall in the Court's reputation? I'm not waiting for LindseyBelle to chime in again anytime soon, at least not until he learns his fate in Fulton County, whether he is indicted or is an unindicted co-conspirator in the Grand Jury election fraud case. Since that news may come soon (this week?) ol' Lindsey will need to check his hair and makeup for another turn on Fox, for more spin. Frankly, I'm not as focused on Clarence and Lindsey though. Rather, I'm excited to see The Donald have his mug shot and fingerprints taken before appearing in court, in Fulton County2 points

Residents urge authorities to put an end to foreign motorbike gangs
Ruthrieston and one other reacted to reader for a topic
From The Nation Notorious Arab motorbike riders were forced to cancel their road-racing plans after some 200 policemen and Interior Ministry officials were deployed to keep law and order on Pattaya roads late on Saturday night. Officers from Pattaya Police Station and officials from Chonburi provincial administration were deployed to check the roads and sois where local residents have complained about road racing and the blocking of traffic by Arab youngsters, mostly tourists from Kuwait. Interior Ministry officials also joined the operation. Most of the riders parked their motorbikes on the roadside as soon as they saw the officials approaching. Some, however, were defiant and continued riding their bikes, only to be stopped and fined for violating traffic laws. The officials did not arrest those who had parked their bikes, but they were interrogated and found to be mostly Kuwaiti teenagers. Police said the interrogation of some 200 youngsters continued into the early hours of Sunday. Last week, Pattaya police held a meeting with other agencies concerned to discuss measures to prevent road racing, which has become popular among Arab tourists but is making life difficult for local people. Motorbike rental companies have been warned to strictly check the identification particulars of tourists and their driving licences before renting out bikes.2 points -

Business in Bangkok's gay venues is reportedly unseasonably low and a good portion of that downturn is being attributed to the absence of tourists from China. The continued failure of major Chinese air carriers to resume international service is seen as a significant factor. From The Thaiger In the wake of Chinaâs announcement to allow tour groups to visit Japan and several other nations for the first time since 2020, Thailandâs tourism industry braces itself for a sharp fall in Chinese tourists. This drop is in part caused by ongoing visa application challenges, in spite of the governmentâs efforts to simplify the process. This recent development comes as China finally moves to lift previously imposed Covid-19 travel restrictions on tour groups. Aside from Japan, other countries including the US, South Korea, and Australia can accept Chinese tour groups. In addition, China has expressed the desire for Japan to consider a visa waiver for Chinese citizens. The honorary secretary-general of the Association of Thai Travel Agents (Atta), Adith Chairattananon, expressed the potential lure of simplifying the visa application process could be for drawing tourists at a time when competitors are welcoming tour groups. Despite the Foreign Affairs Ministryâs attempts to streamline the necessary paperwork for Chinese tourist visas and shorten the approval procedure to seven days, a comprehensive strategy to rejuvenate these market shifts remains vague. Holding on to his apprehensions, Adith, cannot predict confidently that Thailand will attract 5 million Chinese visitors this year given the minimal growth in the number of tour groups since the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. In terms of daily visiting Chinese tourists, the numbers are significantly lower than back in 2019 when over 10,000 tourists entered Thailand per day. To ramp up the tourist volume, Atta proposes a temporary hiatus on tourist visa fees for a few months, reported Bangkok Post. Operators in the primary tourist city, Chiang Mai, eagerly anticipate an influx of Chinese visitors to bolster their businesses, particularly smaller establishments like hotels, bus services, and certain restaurants catering to larger groups. These operators previously hosted a significant number of Chinese tourists, with Chiang Mai reporting more than 120,000 Chinese visitors since the beginning of the year. Nevertheless, persistent visa hurdles diminish Thailandâs appeal. Per the Thai Hotels Associationâs survey of 91 accommodation facilities, nearly 70% anticipate Chinese customers to recover only to fewer than 40% of 2019âs figures in the fourth quarter. However, Nok Airâs chief executive, Wutthiphum Jurangkool, notes optimistic signs of higher demand from Chinese tourists for Thailand compared to Japan due to the lower cost of living. The airline plans to resume flights to an additional four cities by Septemberâs end, in time for Chinaâs Golden Week holiday in October, to cater to the skyrocketing demand, given the currently limited seating capacity.2 points

Report about repatriating looted Asian artefacts
Ruthrieston and one other reacted to PeterRS for a topic
A wonderfully inspiring vdo. Greed is such a powerful motive. It is not just the massive amount of national treasures looted from countries. There is a very large and thriving market for stolen art trsasures. There was a television prgramme recently about the heist at the Garner Museum in Boston in 1990. With apparent ease, two thieves got into the gallery at night and made off with 12 paintings and one artefact, including one of the rare 34 Vermeers then in existence, several works by Rembrandt and others by Degas and Manet. None has ever been recovered. The value today is probably somewhere near $1 billion. Given the crude way in which some of the near priceless paintings were cut form their frames, it is viewed unlikely that they were stolen "to order" by a dodgy collector. But despite the involvement of the FBI over three decades and a $10 million reward, the artworks have vanished. Some believe they may simply have been destroyed by being badly stored. But no one knows. Over time many major artworks have been stolen from museums, incuding the Mona Lisa, a Picasso, a Rembrandt, 2 Edvard Munch paintings and Goya's Portrait of the Duke of Wellington which was famously included in a short scene in the first James Bond movie. All were eventually located and returned. The Garner Museum heist remains the largest of all - and the most mysterious.2 points -

From Pattaya Mail Pattaya, Thailand â The image of Pattaya as a secure tourist haven was marred on August 11 when the Tourist Police swiftly responded to reports of a violent altercation involving an Indian tourist and a group of transvestites. The incident transpired near the Baywalk shopping mall on the bustling Pattaya Beach Road. As the Tourist Police arrived at the scene, they were met with a disconcerting scene where a clash had unfolded between the group of transvestites and Ankit Tibrewal, a 39-year-old Indian tourist. Tibrewal bore visible wounds, including a bleeding mouth injury and a head trauma consistent with blunt force. His shirt was stained with blood, and he suffered scrapes and bruises on his arms and hands. According to Tibrewal, the disagreement with the group of transvestites had ignited while he was walking to his hotel along Beach Road when he was accosted by a group of transvestites. He thought that one of them had taken his mobile phone during physical contact and asked for it back. This simple request spiraled into a heated argument, culminating in a physical altercation. Following statements from both sides at the police station, authorities offered to transport Tibrewal to a local hospital for medical assessment and treatment. However, he courteously declined the offer, opting to return to his hotel instead. The police respected his decision and provided him with an escort. In parallel, the transvestite group embroiled in the altercation exhibited a lack of cooperation, expressing their intention to file grievances against Tibrewal. Adding complexity, their demeanor turned confrontational during the reporting process, as they brandished their phones and cameras to intimidate journalists present at the scene. Law enforcement seized the opportunity to educate both parties about the legal implications of such confrontations and highlighted the paramount importance of upholding tranquility in a prominent tourist hub like Pattaya. Officers clarified that altercations of this nature could result in penalties for all parties involved. Consequently, the transvestite group chose to disperse, defusing the situation and averting further escalation.1 point

Cultural differences abound, worldwide. I lived in a building the residents of which were predominantly Jewish - many Orthodox. The families sit shiva at home (no body present). Orthodox cover all mirrors. Additionally, Ultra Orthodox remove all cushions from furniture. At graveside, each mourner uses a shovel to toss dirt onto the casket, 3 times. Irish would have the body in the home and waited a day or two before burial, because maybe the man was just drunk and passed out. Etc.1 point -

TAWAN MUSCLE BAR
Ruthrieston reacted to macaroni21 for a topic
Vinapu's explanation that it is the boy's interest to register his off with the bar (even if it was 6pm and the bar wouldn't be open yet) is credible. Even if that wasn't the guy's motivation, I think it speaks to his integrity as a sort-of- employee to make sure the bar got its cut. You appreciated his honesty earlier when he reminded you that he had already received his fee. There's no reason to think he is not honest with his boss.1 point -

Sorry, but "no". That said, I think there are definitely two basic and important discussion issues - one primarily for those visiting and one for those actually living in Thailand. We have a pretty good idea of how many posters belong to each camp. But do we have any real idea of total readership and their prorities? Now, of course, with the expansion of the site, we have the Latin America sections. I have surprised myself as I find quite a few posts there really interesting. I suggest it's both the variety and volume of the posts that keep this Board interesting. I note that on other similar Thai-based Boards, the volume of posts is now reduced to 1 or 2 per day, with some days when there are no new posts. We should consider ourselves very fortunate that this Board is alive and well whatever one's particular interests may be.1 point -

I had considered a move to Thailand at some stage and was looking at the 20 year elite visa but after what I read about the changes that is no longer an option, retirement visa was also an option but I have read there are rumblings that the new government (if it ever forms up) could well be cracking down on that visa (no doubt a crackdown on the agents etc). I have also looked elsewhere, no real interest in Laos or Cambodia, Malaysia is a distant possibility but I have some doubts, I would love to live in Singapore but a lack of long term visas makes that a non starter and much the same for Vietnam and their lack of long term visas. That really leaves 3 options, stay home in Australia and just visit but visit more often, Thailand and risk a retirement visa or the Philippines. Visa wise the Philippines is relatively easy and has been on my radar for some time now but the infrastructure there sucks in comparison to Thailand. Health wise my choice of place to live in the Philippines is a long bus trip away from Manila (at least 5hrs depending on traffic) so would be relying on local hospitals in case of emergency and I would say private health insurance would be a must to get into the good hospitals like St Lukes in Bonifacio Global City or Makati Medical center. The thinking cap is on and visa wise I am keeping a keen eye on what's happening, also continuing to buy lotto tickets just in hope.1 point

TAWAN MUSCLE BAR
Ruthrieston reacted to spoon for a topic
Actually, its normal since u took him out during bar opening hour. If u didnt pay off fee boys will have to pay coz he miss work. Such is the business model in gogo bar. If u want to skip off fee, take him outside bar operating hour, after bar closes or during the day before he has to go to his bar. If u took him at 6pm and he can be back at bar at say 8pm, maybe he can skip the off fee. Assuming he wanted to continue working that night, and he didnt work at the tawan massage as well, which has diff working hour. Given how happy u are taking him for 4 more consecutive nights, i take it he also cum during your session, thus he might not take another customer, and not going back to bar after your session, hence paying off fee make sense.1 point -

Given that Chiang Mai did not have a Pride Parade for almost ten years, the tourist director's comments are something of a joke! He clearly forgets that the 2009 Pride Parade had to be called off due to harrassment from local protest groups and near violence from hundreds of thugs wearing red shirts as the police stood by watching and doing nothing. Through megaphones, one group of citizens shouted that the "Parades destroy our beautiful culture." Parades restarted in 2019 but I am told on a relatively small scale. Add to that general feeling of local hostility towards the LGBT community, many dozens of gay venues have closed in recent years that virtually all Chiang Mai has to offer is local culture. That certainly is worth exploring and enjoying, but gay tourists want something to do in the evenings. Having visited the bars now almost all located on the street across from Le Meridien, I cannot believe most tourists would enjoy them. Hence my view that the local tourist director is talking through a hole in his head. The emphasis here is clearly in "wealthy". I was an occasional patient at Bumrungrad off and on for about 20 years. During that time I have seen what the concentration on medical tourism has done. Bumrungrad can now give you a feeling more like a hospital might be in Saudi Arabia given the influx of medical tourists from Middle Eastern countries. Call me racist but i still feel something is wrong when you see a couple with the woman wearing a full black burka covering even her face and the husband in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. There is no doubt it is an excellent hospital but prices have risen very dramatically, especially in recent years. BNH (Bangkok Nursing Home) on Soi Convent is another excellent hospital and I find its prices almost half those at Bumrungrad. But even these cannot match those in the best hospitals in India which I believe are around half for equally fine facilities and equally trained doctors. Almost all East Asian countries are after the medical tourism dollar. Thailand may win out on reputation and the enjoyment of recovery from a procedure at a nice beach resort. But have your Platinum card at the ready!1 point

Not being a retiree, I can only make short visits to Thailand, or anywhere else in Southeast Asia, for that matter. So, as mentioned above, paid sex at business locations is the most time-effective way to get what I need. Except when one is hiring someone one has engaged before, it's always hit and miss. Paid sex hired through various digital platforms (also hit and miss), I have tried and given up. As have some of my friends for similar reasons - fake pictures, badly delayed arrival, the inconvenience of having to meet outside first, etc. Someone I know even had security issues with a guy he invited to his hotel despite meeting outside beforehand and paying for expensive coffee. Fortunately I haven't been in a similar situation. I am realistic enough to recognise that since I do not want to have sex with someone like me, I really shouldn't expect anyone to be offering free sex to me. And yet, off and on, it has happened. Once in a while I still find myself being cruised on the streets or the metro. More often than not, they are not my type anyway, usually, a bit too fem and not because they are too old - I have relatively wide acceptability ranges for age and body types. I'm not someone who must have 20-something twinks or muscle jocks. But at my age, I have to pinch myself when I think someone is cruising me. Is this really happening? Why does he want my body? And then I start to think, oh he must be a moneyboy (sometimes a 45-year-old moneyboy)... but even when we get to talking, it's really hard to broach the subject to establish for sure whether it's going to transactional or not. It can cause offence, especially when expressed badly in a foreign language. Yet unless it is clear, the uncertainty can complicate how to proceed. So, and I hate to say it, even in these rare occasions when I am cruised, I tend to turn down the offers. That said, there was one recent instance in Bali which not only was non-transactional but turned out great. The next dayI asked myself, now how many potentially great encounters have I missed out on because I tend to be too careful?1 point -
Based on my visit at Club 55 on a Saturday afternoon last month and info from the staff there, the most busy days are Sunday afternoons (around 5-7 PM) followed by Saturday afternoon (5-8 PM) On the Saturday afternoon I'm talking about there was a constant flow of men coming to and leaving the sauna (the staff told me that 150-200 guests during a Sunday afternoon/evening is normal) but overall it was quite busy. A lot action (groping and sucking) in the wet and dry saunas and cruising on the first floor where the cabins are (and 2 large screens with gay porn). I was a bit surprised by the high number of young and fit guys there (some had gym fit bodies and were very attractive) but as most often in saunas (not restricted to saunas in Colombia) your chance of groping or sucking a young fit guy or having sex in a cabin with a young muscle guy or gym rat will diminish with your age and if being out of shape. To put it out loud, the young attractive guys at Club 55 or any Colombian sauna are not there to have sex with mature overweight foreigners but will be looking for guys of similar kind. There is also a social aspect to it as many guys will be coming in groups of 2-4 to relax, spend time in the jacuzzi, chatting, to smoke weed, have a beer/drink etc before or after action in the wet or dry saunas or upstairs. But this should not discourage you from visiting as nevertheless it is possible to have a good and enjoyable time there. Entrance fee is 25 mil. I didn't see any guys soliciting massage (and more) during my time in Club 55 but admittedly I didn't inquire about this with the staff there. 2 attractive masseurs were available at Phisicus 21 in Cali.1 point

Same Ramiro. Was nice to see him at 555 on that one Sunday. Glad he found a landing spot after he quit (or was fired? Not sure) 117. I wonder if he can turn 555 around. He is certainly trying: Europe was fun, but I just canât stay away from Brazil, so for now, Iâm spending my pennies here. His name is Renan Kalany, and he has a huge following on Insta and has an Only Fans. Iâve been an admirer of his ever since I met him in Santos, SĂŁo Paulo a few years ago, as he was a friend of a friend. When I met him he looked younger than his pics I had to ask for ID. And thatâs all Iâm gonna say about him. Hereâs some pics for your viewing pleasure. I made him my profile pic because he is an intersection of what guys here on the forum like: a cute hairless young twink, who just happens to be Brazilian. So his dick is (much?) bigger than the average Thai money boy:1 point -
Dominican Milk! Part 5
hurstwickham reacted to BlkSuperman for a topic
i know you guys are thinking, "damn whore this had better be the end of this story. Yes! it is. I ended the last post telling you guys about my bh having hot sex with the sexy dominican woman. when they were done, she showered and left. i told my bh that i wanted to do something special for his son. there is this amazing indoor theme park establishment in the mall called screamland. i showed him the place and told him that i wanted to treat his son there on sunday around noon. now when we communicate we do it all though the translator app. im trying to learn spanish but it seems like the more i learn the more i need to know. especially when communicating with him cause i dont know some of the words hes saying. i told him i would meet him there the next day, sunday around 1230. he asked, "was i leaving sunday as i always do." i told him "no im staying until monday." im going to veer off topic for a second. although the colonial zone was slow as hell thursday through saturday, it was EXTREMELY FESTIVE on sunday. omg! it was unbelievable. my husband and i were in plaza espana and as we were leaving we heard loud music playing, people singing and a large crowd gathered. i told my husband we had to go see what was going on. it was an outdoor concert that to my understanding they have every sunday. we stayed for an hour mainly lusting over the sexy dominican men as they were dancing in the street with their friends and family. if someone knows what this event is called, please tell us. trust me, this is a social gathering you wont want to miss. ok, now back to our former topic. we meet at the mall the following day. before i paid for the screamland pass i told him to order pizza, wait for the pizza and eat in the food court with his son. his son is so damn cute, just like dad. i think he recognized me from the party because he said "hola" when he saw me. he melted my heart i said hola and shook his hand. he ordered the pizza and i paid for it. while the pizza was being prepared we walked right next door to the screamland place. we got the game card and the receipt for the his son to enjoy a few hours playing the games and riding on the rides. my bh told me thank you very much. i told him no problem and that he was my friend i shook his hand and was about to turn and walk away. he leaned in and said "i will see you later" i told him ok ok. to tell you the truth i didnt have to see him later because i was all sexed out. i mean my hole took a beating this trip. but i do travel with vaseline grease and continually rub it around my back door to help with the ripped skin, tears or scratches. my husband and i get back to the apartment, invite our friends over and they started to tell me how much fuck they had sucking dicks, having the guys dance for them and watching the guys play with each other. they want to do another trip and asked when my next travel date was. i told them that we come every 5 to 6 weeks and as long as they were comfortable staying in their own place, they can travel with us anytime. we sit and complete our eticket and then head out for a bite to eat, they love pacos so we indulged and went to pacos. around 4 p.m. i get a text from my bh. he sent pics and said that he would soon be done and wanted to come over around 5. that was perfect because it gave me time to finish up lunch, but i knew that we werent going to have sex because i was done-done. when he arrived my husband was laying down in one of the bedrooms so i was in the living room alone. i opened the door, we greet each other, he walked in, i locked the door and turned around. he was standing right behind me, moved my flimsy muscle shirt to the side and started to suck my nipples right at the door. he laid it on extra think. i felt his tongue rolling around my nipple and all i could do was throw my head back, take deep breaths and enjoy this immense pleasure i was deriving from the suction of his mouth. i thought my knees were about to buckle. i grabbed my hand and placed it on his dick. it was rock hard and he has the one of the prettiest dicks ive ever seen. i rubbed his dick as he continued to suck my nipples. i knew that he was giving me this extra special treatment because of me treating his son to the indoor amusement park. i knew i wasnt going to allow him to penetrate me again, but he didnt. he walked to the fridge on his own, grabbed a beer, opened it and walked to the bedroom. i thought him doing that without asking me was so sexy. it was like he was saying to me "daddys home." we go to the bedroom he disrobes, suckes my nipples again, this time with the cold beer in his mouth. the senstion was intense. i reached down, grabbed the lube and started to masturbate him. he pulled away after a few strokes, put his beer down then went in the shower. when he got out the shower i was laying on my back. i didnt want feel his dick in my ass so i told him to get on his knees next to me, play with my nipples with his hands and i would suck his dick while i sniff my fuk juice and jack off. he leaned over and sucked my nipples more then leaned back and put his dick in my mouth. i sucked his dick while he slowly face fukced me and after about 5 minutes i was releasing my load. i was done. that was it for me, but he then wanted me to suck him some more. im the type of bottom that when i nutt, im ready to shower and sleep. but it seemed like he truly enjoys my blowjobs and i love to hear him moan when i do so. i stopped sucking him after about 2 minutes then he sat up in the bed, watched gay porn and released his load. as he was leaving i told him i would see him in 6 weeks because we were due to leave the next day. he asked what time were we leaving and i told him 1230. he told me to come to the shop so he could cut my hair. the next day, monday, my husband and i went to the shop around 10 and he cut my hair. he had a few other barbers walk in while he was cutting my hair. they spoke, we shook hands and left. our bags were already packed the night before so my husband and i watched tv on our firestick. if you dont travel with an international firestick then you are crazy. those firesticks are amazing and you get all you local stations plus premium channels as well. my good judys are packed as well and i have the driver schedule to pick us up at 1230. at about 1149 i get a few messages. the first text was from the dominican procurer who i dont know. i think ive told you before that ive never met this guy, dont know how he got my number but hes super friendly with me and always always always sends me guys with pictures and phone numbers and videos. he was texting to fin out why i ghosted one of the contacts he sent to me. i told him that when i arrive, i already have my guys lined up and they satisfy me so i dont need anyone one. you bitches know i always have my receipts, right . he then told me, "NO MY FRIEND YOU NEED TO MEET THIS GUY!" i told him we were leaving and that id meet him on the next trip in a few weeks. when i opened the 2nd text it was from spirit airlines saying that the flight was delayed by 2 hours. i quickly called my good judys told them to extend their apartment and i would do the same. i told them to send the flight delay text to the guy who owned the apartment and ask them would they please let you stay longer. their owner approved, my owner approve and i had to call the driver to let them know that i wouldnt be leaving at our agreed upon time. i told him sorry and that wed pay him extra and gave him the new time to come pick us up. i went back and texted the unknown procurer. i remember this guy telling me that he had some kind of job in law enforcement. it has to be true because the pics he sends are of guys who are in uniform standing in front of the dominican flag or wearing full camo gear. i reached out to the guy who he said had this enormous dick and asked him to call the guy for me. i told him that i had a few more hours in the sdq because my flight was delayed. he called the dude and i texted the dude. now the dude has disappearing text messages. hes very private and cautious. his messages disappear from the threads i think 24 hours after they are exchanged. i told him i wanted to see him and asked could he come over. i knew the unknown procurer put in a good word for me because he likes me in a non sexual way. i mean since ive been home he just texts to say hello and say how my day is going. just this week i told him that i wanted to send him money because of all these sexy official men he send my way. he will not budge he always tells me its ok my friend no need to send me any money just take care of the guys and have fun. ok, so dude and i talk and i ask him does he have a huge dick. he said its very big and thick. i asked him for a picture. hes clever. he sent a picture and a video, both set for a one time view. meaning once you view the photo, you cant screen shot and when you shut down your phone the photo and video is gone. i had my 2nd phone on me so i saw that it was a once view video and photo and use my second phone to record the video and photo. i then sent the images back to him and told him that i would never betray him and that he could trust me. i told him that he had my word that i would never show his face or video to anyone. i told him that his trust really mattered to me and i would never betray his trust. he sent praying hands and said thank you. we set up a time for him to come over. i grabbed my bag ran in the bathroom and did some cleaning. while in the shower the phone beeps again and its spirit again saying that there was another delay. while in the shower, i sent that message to my owner and they told me fine, we will extend your reservation free of charge. my good judys werent so lucky and were told that they would have to pay an additional $50. they paid it and went out in the colonial zone. the dude gets to the apartment. i go downstairs to let him in. i open the door and he is so fukcing handsome. the dude is beautiful. we go inside and my husband sees him and says, wow hes very handsome. i asked if he wanted water and went to get him a glass. i shook his hand and told him im there every 6 weeks and would like to see him when i cum. he said ok. i gave him a towel and walked him to the bathroom. he came out the bathroom still wet with and drying off. his dick was long thick and huge just like the unknown procurer told me. my husband was in the kitchen so he didnt see him. i told my husband LOOK AT THIS! DO YOU SEE ALL THIS DICK! i couldnt believe what i was looking at. he was bigger than manaconda. i dont even know how he keeps all that dick between his legs. he sits down on the couch and i start to lick and suck his dick. i grab his hands and put them on my nipples. while im sucking his dick, i take a hit of my poppers and bald my fist up with my poppers inside. he reaches for my clinched fist to take the poppers out my hand. in that moment i knew that this guy was about to fukc the ish out of me. my husband started playing with us both. i reached for a condom, opened the packet and gave it to him. he put it on and i attempted to sit on this dominican monument. my husband knew it was a little uncomfortable for me so he started to suck my nipples. he wanted a show and i wanted every inch of that dick in my ass. i sniff my poppers, dude hits them as well. after about 5 minutes and a whole lot of lube, i had him in me. it was very uncomfortable at first and we had to pull out lube him up and lube my ass up very good. when we finally drenched my hole with lube i was ready to take him. what made this dude so special is that he loved the poppers i had. in fact, i gave him my unopened bottle afterwards because he asked for the bottle we were using. i rode his dick on that couch while he sat there and moaned and sucked my nipples. we both enjoyed the bottle of poppers and after about 5 mins we went into the bedroom. its much easier for me to take dick doggie style so thats the position i got in. he slowly put his dick in me and we began out fukcing each other. i thought for sure he was going to nutt a few times because he started moaning as if he was going to cum. when guys sound like they are about to cum, i take a whiff od my fuk juice and really fukc their dick. this guys didnt seem like he would ever cum so i told him no more. told him i was sorry but i couldnt take anymore. he motions for me to let him jack off. i told him yes and within no time he was releasing a load all over the bed. i couldnt believe how far he shot nutt across the bed. after he showered he told me where he worked and i was in shock not because had a job but because of where he said he worked. i paid him, we shook hands and he left. when i closed the door my husband says to me, "hey tramp, i guess you will be serving your barber husband with divorce papers." we both lol and i shook my head. so guys, here are some take aways from this long ass story: 1) pacos is a great place to eat and drink but the guys there charge close to american prices for dick 2) the colonial zone is slow right now. if you go now then you will need a procurer. you know my favorite guy but you can also try juan bin=bin and francisco from pacos 3)marlowes is a gay club in sdq and the owner is super friendly and at 11 p.m. his club was packed on a sunday. 4) oustide of marlowes are a lot of guys looking to sell sex. 5) i can think of the name of the cafe i told you guys to sit at to cruise the colonial zone. sit there, make eye contact and pay a much smaller fee to have sex with some of the most sexy guys on the planet. i mentioned the name in part 2, i believe. i just cant think of the place now. i will attach receipts to this post in a few minutes. to all you fuckers traveling to brazil, i still hate you! lol. stay safe and well guys.1 point -
Anyone meet boys other places

This is actually my kink. I am into picking up straight guys off the street, gym, facebook, whatever. What olddaddy said about the Philippines is 100% accurate. There is even like 2-3 threads in a philippine gay forum about picking up straight guys in the public using a card/paper with your number and a bill on it. Personally, I've only had like 1 out of 20-30 success on it. I am more successful in messaging random hot guys in facebook groups etc.. This approach is kind of harder to do in Bangkok but maybe because of my poor thai skills. In my 1 1/2 year, I've only been successful twice. First was a straight motorcycle driver I blew in a gas station toilet twice and another one was a taxi driver who kind of scammed me đ This taxi driver agreed to meet me in my room, we drank and then asked me for 3,000 down payment first, after I paid, he said that was only the fee for drinking with him. He then asked me for another 1,500 for a blow job. He even forced me to show my account balance which was kinda scary. Anyways, I blew him until he came but it will def be no repeat.. I haven't done this in a while though but lately I have been bored and might try out my luck again1 point -
