  2. I choose massage over offs most of the time and I reserve at lest 10 minutes to reverse roles and massage the masseur. On occasion some guys present particularly well-muscled bodies that cause me to to extend the time I allow myself this pleasure. And it not just the hunks who can present me with this type of passive satisfaction.,. Twinks and twunks can also come with solid muscle tone that cries out to be touched. I've also found that the recipient not infrequently becomes more affectionate as a result of the experience that they normally don't find themselves receiving. But be forewarned: this can lead to sex.🙂

  3. Having just returned from my trip to Barcelona last week I am happy to report that Thermas was not a disappointment, and I can certainly recommend a look. My first visit was on a Thursday afternoon at about 2.30 pm. There weren't many clients there at that time. Upon arrival in the mid afternoon I was approached and received a very warm welcome from 3 or 4 working guys, who were all very eager to please. These were a handsome young Venezuelan named Oliver and his horse hung cousin, who were very free with their conversation and seemed really nice guys. There was also an especially charming Nigerian named Christian with a great body and cock, who spoke perfect English. There was then a steady flow of fresh talent who arrived throughout the later afternoon, all of whom were handsome, hung and personable. In the end I chose to spend some private time with a gorgeous South American guy named Enrique, who certainly knew how to top. I visited again at 3pm on the following Sunday, but the premises were temporarily closed to the public for the clean up after a private party from Saturday, which had rolled on into Sunday, and I chose not to return later that day. I again attended at about 3pm on Monday afternoon, and there were fewer guys, but still a good choice. I had a great session with Christian the Nigerian. Most of the working guys at Thermas were handsome South Americans, both Latinos and a few black guys, one was called Tony with blonde died hair (tasty too), and they were all very chatty and personable. They all had their ample goods on full perky display. If you like guys in their thirties look out for Juan. There was also a Bulgarian, but not many Europeans. The going rate is €50. Entry fee €22. The premises were very clean and the staff friendly and helpful. A final word about the other Saunas, Bruc and Condal. I visited both of these but only saw older guys there, so neither place appealed to my tastes.

  4. The buildings have not changed. They have remained the same for decades. What you are looking at is a view of the Boyztown other entrance on Soi 13/4. Both views below were taken from in front of the Penthouse Hotel. The building on the right with the ornate wrought iron railings used to be the New Orleans Restaurant. The tall building in the background is still there.

  5. Recife Recife, the capital of Pernambuco in Northeast Brazil, is often referred to as the "Venice of Brazil" due to its waterways and bridges. While in Recife, one is likely to visit Marco Zero and from there it only cost 10rs to take a water taxi to Parque de Esculturas Francisco Brennand, a small island featuring works of the famous Brazilian sculptor. I spent three days in this city with a Brazilian friend, with the main purpose of the trip being to meet him and lift his spirits. Depression and poverty can be a dangerous combination. Unfortunately, that also meant cutting back on my visits to saunas. I only visited Termas Boa Vista on my last night in the city, despite being a week night, the visit was a success. Uber is a must in this region of Brazil, the sun sets early in July, the touristic neighborhood of Recife felt okay but on the way to TBV, I passed through some questionable neighbors that look dangerous especially at night. TBV itself felt secured, clean, and the management is welcoming. The bar area in TBV had live music and the acoustics was pleasant. The drinks were about 1/2 the price of SP and Rio and the suite was superior in comparison. There were only about seven GPs working, in general the men in NE brazil felt very masculine, more tan, and don't flash their smile as freely as Cariocas. Despite with only 7 GP on premise, I had 3-4 candidates in mind. I came to an agreement with J very quickly and we went to the presidential suite. I was blown away by the amount of passion that came from J inside the suite, easily the best kisser I ever encountered in Brazil. As @ShivRoy stated in his report, the GPs accept 100r without haggling. It was the right choice to visit TBV on my last night and I wish I had more days in Recife because during the weekend, TBV stays open until 6 AM! Overall, I can see Recife becoming a repeat destination in the future.

  6. Meh...Wouldn't make a special trip for the guys. If you've never been and want to see Cuba go, but don't expect a hopping night scene like years ago. I ended up with a Cuban National League baseball player....he was hot and good in bed, with a big dick and and even bigger ego, lol But the malecon and la Rampa were dead, nothing like before. Las Vegas gay bar was dead, even the Hotel Nacional and Habana Libre didn't have things in stock.....it's sad.

  7. From CNN President Joe Biden has thrown his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris to become the next Democratic nominee for president after announcing Sunday he is dropping out of the race. Should Harris officially become the party’s standard-bearer, she would be the first Black woman and first Asian American to lead the ticket of a major political party. The historic endorsement comes after weeks of disarray within the Democratic Party, following a disastrous debate performance by Biden that called into question his ability to win a second term and govern for another four years. Biden ended his campaign Sunday amid growing calls from members of his party to step aside. Logistically, Harris is the natural heir to the ticket as Biden’s running mate. She would inherit the Biden campaign’s massive political operation and war chest. Recent polling has also shown her performing better against former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, than Biden and other potential Democratic contenders.

  8. You and the MSNBC audience may care what Rick Wilson has to say. 99% of America, including me, have ZERO interest. Cackling Kamala covered up Biden's mental decline, and Dementia Joe covered up Cackling Kamala's complete ineptitude and irresponsibility. Cackling Kamala has been lying and covering up Dementia Joe's senility for years. This new ad, which will be flooding the battleground states, is already out: "I don't know what he said at the end of that sentence and I don't think he does either"... The best line of any debate... But I can't wait to see just HOW BAD Cackles does... I already ordered my popcorn... Hey Cackles, go purchase a HUGE bucket cuz President Trump is gonna mop the floor with you... IF YOU MAKE IT..

  9. Given the recent Supreme Court ruling on Presidential immunity, those phony charges will be thrown out. No reason for DJT to drop out when he is leading the race. As for your race-baiting, we all know that comes directly from the DNC/MSNBC playbook. When you got nothing else, play the race/sex card. And FWIW, I love REAL black women that exude joy, intelligence, truth, and hope. But Kamala is only half black. These are real black women who exude hope and joy whom I admire: TRUMP/VANCE 2024 MAGA

  12. There is a new series, Century of Love, which is really great! 100 years ago San loved Wat, a woman who didnt want to marry the husband chosen for her and got shot dead. San was desperate and with the help of a spell he extended his life for 100 years to find Wats reincarnation. Now, in 2024, it turns out that most likely Wats reincarnation is a guy, Vee, something that old fashioned San (so far) can't accept. The spell is based on a magic stone, and of course some sinister people (and some not so sinister) are after the stone. I binge watched the available episodes (4 of 10). It has a lot of action and is also quite funny. It reminds me somewhat of KinnPorsche and it is at the same level. Vee is pretty cute: Could you resist?

  14. From The Thaiger Thai AirAsia X announced the suspension of its sole Australian route between Sydney and Bangkok, effective August 1. Despite the temporary halt, the airline assures it remains committed to the Australian market and plans a grand return in December with increased flights and enhanced connectivity. The decision to suspend services was driven by fleet management and operation hub movement. As part of a strategic shift, Thai AirAsia X will relocate all operations back to Bangkok’s Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) from October 1, moving away from Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK). To minimise disruption, Thai AirAsia X will reroute impacted Sydney-Bangkok flights via Kuala Lumpur, operated by AirAsia X Malaysia. Affected passengers can alter travel plans with free flight changes, flight credits worth the value of the flight plus 10%, or opt for full refunds. Notifications will be sent via email or SMS to direct bookers, while others should check their booking channels. Thai AirAsia X previously ceased flights to Melbourne and Brisbane in May 2023 and April 2020 respectively, leaving Sydney as its only Australian operation since December 2022. The move to Don Mueang is aimed at leveraging the extensive AirAsia network for better connectivity and easier access to central Bangkok. Parent company AirAsia has been active in Australia and New Zealand, with new services from subsidiaries including Indonesia AirAsia’s Cairns-Bali route and AirAsia Malaysia’s flights to Perth. The group also plans to expand into Europe, North America, and Africa, reported Karryon. In related news, Thai AirAsia announced a new route connecting Bangkok’s Don Mueang International Airport and Lampang, marking the airline’s 25th domestic destination in Thailand. Starting October 1, travellers can look forward to daily flights on this new route, operated by the airline’s trusty Airbus A320 aircraft.

  15. It hasn’t improved. My local friends said the government has restricted the amount of Grab drivers that can be employed. At certain times I was unable to get a Grab at all. From BGC to Makati for example, at 5-6PM. Tried for 35 minutes. Many times you will wait for an assigned car, then they end up being 15 minutes away. I was selecting 4-seat, 6-seat, taxi AND shared for options too. Yes, in Boracay the hotel has a “no visitors in the room” policy, but guests can simply come up the elevator without anyone asking for their ID. I did top, I put my dick into a bottom for three thrusts and he shot all over his chests. Then he wanted to record a video of me fucking him to show his friends that he had sex with a foreigner. You can suck straight guys, sure, but I don’t want to suck a tiny dick. Just my preference. Some do send nudes. Be persistent with them. But they are usually obscure photos or at weird angles. I even had few send fake photos that I reversed image searched to verify it wasn’t theirs.

  17. I generally don't go in for conspiracies, since Reagan's actions to impoverish working and middle-class folks, governance in the USA is largely rigged for the elites. No conspiracy needed. For example, the Supreme Court isn't a conspiracy, that's straight out and visible right-wing extremist governance from the Court's bench. The one thing I am sure of though is, Trump should be thanking his lucky stars that most, if not all, of the gun nuts are MAGA supporters. It's no wonder Trump's administration stopped tracking right-wing extremists and their domestic terrorism.

  20. The following article was posted on the National Public Radio (US) website last year. It examines a lot of contributing factors, some of which we have control over--food, alcohol, sleep aids and pre-flight preparations. It also looks those we have little or no influence over. It may not change your life but it may affect how you feel after arriving. From NPR If you're trying to squeeze some travel into the last few weeks of summer, you'll want to get the most out of your vacation. And nothing ruins a trip to the Louvre or a scuba-diving excursion like your body telling you it's time for bed NOW. So can you "hack" jet lag, so to speak? Or at least mitigate it? We posed the question to NPR's International Desk and got an array of helpful answers from our globetrotting staff. For instance, NPR producer Greg Dixon is enthusiastic about an app for jet lag called Time Shifter. "You input your travel schedule and it spits out a plan for a couple days before and a couple days after your flights, advising you when to get/avoid natural light, drink coffee, take melatonin, etc.," Greg writes. "It has worked really, really well." Research on jet lag is limited, and most of it is on athletes, who — much like NPR's journalists — are expected to jet across time zones and perform at their best. A recent consensus statement to help athletes manage jet lag and travel fatigue in the journal Sports Medicine, offers few guiding principles. David Stevens, a physiologist from Adelaide, Australia, who co-authored the statement while working at a sleep research center at Flinders University, breaks it down. First off, you'll want to understand the workings of your body's circadian rhythms, that is, our internal clock that tells us when it's time to fall asleep and when to wake up. Then you can take advantage of what sleep researchers call zeitgebers or time-givers, external factors that set the pace of these rhythms. Light is the most important one but exercise, meals and even social cues can also trigger sleepiness or wakefulness. Whether you use an app or not, Stevens suggests starting your time zone adjustment a few days before your trip begins. "One of your best strategies to prepare for any westward travel is you just go to sleep, for example, an hour later each night," Stevens says. And go ahead and allow yourself to stay in bed an hour later each morning as well. Things get tougher when you're heading eastward. "It's brutal from west to east. It usually takes me 10 days to adjust, say from Washington to Tokyo," writes NPR's Asia editor Vincent Ni. Stevens says there's a simple explanation for this. Going to bed later than normal – as you do when traveling westward – is relatively easy for our body clocks to understand, because you get more tired in the evening. "My body's going, hang on, you're meant to be asleep now, why aren't you asleep?" he says. But when you travel eastward, you have to try to go to sleep when you're not yet tired, and that's just... confusing to your circadian clock, Stevens says. "The body's going, hang on, you're not meant to be asleep yet. What are you doing?" And to make matters worse, one of the body's peak performance times, when we're naturally most alert, is around 7 p.m., he adds. So in these cases, Stevens says, prep a few days before your trip by going to sleep earlier than normal and getting up early to take in lots of morning light.

The reviews are quite positive if you follow their instructions. The idea of being able to arrive in Europe or Asia and come off the plane without jet lag is extremely enticing to me.

    Biden endorses Harris

    Pres. Biden squandered 3.5 years by choosing not to mentor and bring along possible successors, in addition to VP Harris. I don't doubt VP Harris will get the top job nod from Democrats at the convention. Mayor Pete? I like him, what I heard and saw of him when he ran in the prior Democratic Party primaries won by Joe Biden. However, is he capable / qualified to assume the Presidency if something happened to a President Harris on Day 1? No, I don't think so. I don't think the nation is prepared to knowingly elect a homosexual at that level of office, either. Pundits are already mentioning former Naval Aviator / Astronaut and current Arizona U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly and PA Governor Josh Shapiro as front-runners for the VP nomination. Either of these two would be solid choices and add to the entire ticket. I don't think a two-woman ticket would be successful, though there are a couple of well-qualified women who come to mind: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Minnesota U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar. I'd have included former disabled helicopter pilot / Illinois U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth but I think there are questions about her birth in Thailand to an American father and whether or not she meets the qualifications because of that (i.e., foreign born). Democrats have a very deep bench of possibilities, had only President Biden not squandered all that time after saying he'd be a transitional President.

However, the focus MUST be on Kamala... I am hopeful that anyone she picks as her partner would be acceptable to most, and I am really not sure how much affect a VP pick has on a candidate. If that were the case, the rats would be deserting the Trump ship with his pick radical JD Eyeliner.....

But I know enough about all of these through what I have read or heard about to form an opinion. Donald Trump had ZERO input into the 900-page Project 2025. Yet he is a voracious reader with sound judgment and a brilliant mind. So based on what he has read or been told by his advisors he was able to form an opinion. Never underestimate the ability of a genius. TRUMP/VANCE 2024 MAGA

  38. In the photo below a still of a video on YouTube which shows Boyztown in 1999 If I compare this with the current buildings most current buildings don't appear to be there. Look at the building where now Boyz Boyz Boyz is and the Ambiance hotel, these appear to be different buildings now. Also at the front far left side you see a brown/black building but I don't recognize its shape at all (compare for example with Google street view). Also if you look good the building where now Panorama bar is, looked totally different and there is a big building at the far end (we only see its top floor) that isn't there anymore at all. Anyone knows that indeed after 1999 a lot of demolition and construction happened in Boyztown? It also appears the Copa hotel is relatively new. I think it came into being only after 2005? I don't mean the building itself, but the hotel. Another strange thing. The Boyztown sign changes every few years. I wonder why. I first arrived in 2014 and I am already at my third sign. But before there were at least 2 others (if I search google for older photos). I assume the local hotel and bar owners pay for this sign, but why replace it with a new one every few years? They make so much money that they don't know what to do with it and just decide to make a new sign again? Here the photo from 1999:https://drive.google.com/open?id=13SS426fWEmZE7f0mV24wubFLCUNOqU6S&usp=drive_fs Edit: From a Japanese website I have this: In 1980, Suttham Phanthusak, a successful foreign exchange entrepreneur in Pattaya, invested in Wichai’s transgender show. The show gradually developed into the internationally renowned Tiffany’s Show. Meanwhile, Michael Burchall bought the Cockpit Bar, a go-go bar and restaurant for gay men, and reopened it in 1985. Other bars and restaurants were subsequently added to the same street where the Cockpit Bar was located, and around 1989, the bar owners decided to name the street Boyztown - the first gay town in Pattaya

    When Democrats die

    Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee dies at age 74 So while I am the worst poster in the world at keeping a thread narrowly on topic, or being terse, I thought I would start a thread to focus on Biden's medical condition. I don't see how Biden can survive as the Democratic nominee. But he will probably survive as President. That's if the reporters who are behind the endless leaks now know what they are talking about. What should people think about that, if he wants to remain as POTUS until January? Is he mentally fit to be President for six more months? Two points about Jackson Lee. First, she was a widely respected leader who deserves to be honored. Second, she is a great example of both how quickly and how clearly things can change. Part of the problem with Biden's health issues is precisely that: nothing is happening quickly, or clearly. He has not been diagnosed with cancer, or dementia, or anything that impacts his ability to lead. I mentioned in another thread that I got my Mom diagnosed with dementia - twice - in order to activate my parents' long term care policy for her. My Mom did not want to think she was demented. I know for a fact that there is a reluctance, even among mental health professionals, to make a judgment like that. One of my family members, stupidly, felt my Mom should be forcibly placed in an institution. No one, especially my Dad, agreed. But I was a good little bureaucrat and checked it out, mostly to undercut the argument. Mental health professionals told me it is very hard to force someone out of their home against their will. Let alone a helpless old woman. That killed that debate quickly, thank God. I've had two run ins with pancreatic cancer, both of which involved denial. One of my brothers died of pancreatic cancer years ago. While he did not deny his condition, he was mostly in denial about how long he would live. I spent many days with him during a one year illness, after he was finally diagnosed correctly. We'd watch "Flip or Flop" and he'd talk about how we should flip homes together once he get better. It was sweet. Even though I knew it had nothing to do with reality. His wife told me later she felt like she had to be the one to accept and manage the grim prognosis. Which she did. While I was spending last Thanksgiving with my deceased brother's family a sister-in-law called me to tell me her brother, who I also knew well, had just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She wanted my advice. So I told her he would probably die soon. And that this is a good time for you to create lots of lasting positive memories with a brother you love, like I did. She did, and he died two months later. A few weeks after that first conversation this sister-in-law called me and said both her brother and his wife were in denial. And she wanted to know if I would call him to tell him he was going to die, basically. I politely said I'd pass. And honestly it was probably better for him to just be in denial until he dies. So Biden seems both totally different and exactly the same. The part that feels exactly the same is that Biden is denying what almost everyone else sees. I don't think this could not have happened before the debate. Because I think millions of people needed to see it and hear it themselves. Jake Tapper has even speculated that Biden might have been set up at that debate by his own team. As in, they knew he would flounder. But it somehow needed to be made clear that what was being rumored is actually true. More likely, I think Biden's own team and family is in denial. Something has changed. You can play the speeches from 2020 and 2022 on YouTube. Biden sounds and looks different now. But there does seem to be this deep fog of denial. I have to interject here that Trump - and Republicans - are doing the same thing. Trump is a convicted felon who raped lots of women. No Republican wants to talk about that. Trump will lose because whatever is happening with Biden doesn't change the fact that Trump lies and rapes and has no integrity. Which a majority of Americans also see clearly, in poll after poll after poll. What is completely different about Biden is he has no diagnosis - yet. I'm hopeful this will end well for Democrats. Because what is happening is obvious, I think. Republicans are in complete denial about what's wrong with their candidate. And they are operating as if he is somehow America's messiah. Not the lying raping felon he actually is. Which, again, a majority of Americans see clearly, based on polls. I hope Democrats are seen as the adults in the room dealing with an ugly problem. But it is one without a diagnosis - yet. So it makes sense that Biden is denying a medical diagnosis he has not been given. Other than the fatal political diagnosis. As much as replacing Biden at the DNC is messy, people are saying - correctly - that the French and Brits somehow manage to have national elections in far less time than we do. Maybe this could be a good lesson in having shorter elections in the future. Especially since the vast majority of voters are already locked into one side. The messy part to me is Biden will want to stay on as POTUS until January. And Republicans will scream he has to resign. Because he is a national security threat. This is the party that just nominated a POTUS and Veep who want to appease Putin, and defund Ukraine. Which would have my Reagan Republican Dad rolling in his grave. National security? I think when it comes to Biden being POTUS today, and through January 2025, the most compelling fact is that Biden has no medical diagnosis that prevents him from leading. Republicans will howl and use it as a political point to undermine Harris and all Democrats. But what have they got? They deny Trump is a felon. They deny Trump is a rapist. They deny he brought a 30 % murder spike to America. They deny they want to give Ukraine a death sentence, and let Putin take over big chunks of it. So these are the people we're supposed to trust to diagnose Joe Biden? What do they know about denial? Give me a break! I already posted this on another thread, but here it is again: Reagan had years, not months, to go as POTUS at the time. If that is a standard for judging the medical status of an aging President in his final term, Biden is fine. Republicans have no argument. It was about 15 years until Reagan was diagnosed. And his doctors said this was not a condition that would have impaired him 15 years earlier. However this ends for Biden, and apart from the ugliness of this specific moment, I'm confident that history will judge him well. And Democrats will be able to look back on him as their wise old leader.

  46. Easy: big, fancy buffet, lotto, prizes, giveaways, but ... must pass the casting couch audition. (I volunteer) "a lot of huge dicks attached to, well, less than beautiful men" - Basically, new Lagoa has turned into old Fragata.

  47. "There are a lot of huge dicks attached to, well, less than beautiful men." ; so true, so true. The last visit to Rio, earlier this year, I was shocked at the number of over weight, older, and not handsome men (at least to me) at the saunas. They all have big dicks which they aggressively flaunt. Not my cup of tea, but to each his own.

  48. I don't think that SP's nightlife has gone stale, but Lagoa has. I've all but abandoned it (whereas I would never consider missing a Tuesday night at Rio's 117). Something has to be done to attract better looking men. There are a lot of huge dicks attached to, well, less than beautiful men. Free entrance for boys with the confidence that it would be made up by more client entrances? A buffet for the boys? Unfortunately, those might attract more low-end boys but not studs. I don't really know what is the solution. 200 seems a little low to me for gozar included. Certainly, I would not be surprised if there were different prices for different boys. Some months ago, there was a handsome muscular blond guy at 117 who would not go below 300. I even offered him 250 on a slow night, but he declined. On the other hand, a guy I used to hire regularly a few years ago approached me around 8:30 on a slow night at 202 when it was clear no further clients were coming and offered +bbk and +gozar for 100. His opportunity cost was slight--what did he have to lose? But in general, though, to gozar, especially when opportunity for further clients remain, does diminish the quality of service and/or increase the effort for the guy to remain hard, so unless it is a guy who feels lucky to just make the 200, it sounds a little low to me.

  49. As I tried to suggest, the sexual cultures of Egypt appear very complex to new arrivals. As a Western expat, it took me quite some time to learn how to decipher 'signals'. For example, being asked (constantly) "are you married" and questions about your family appear to be everyday, polite questions. If you answer no, this is may be followed up with questions asking you to elaborate on why this is the case. Again, this maybe a straight forward question. However, as I discovered, if you explain that you "like your freedom" and that you live a very mobile life, this may be followed up with more questions asking you to explain why this is so, given that most expat men travel with wives/partners/families etc. If you then reply that "well, its just not for me" or other such vague, seemingly avoidant phrases, this may very well lead to further questions regarding your living arrangements ie. if you live alone, do you have a doorman. You can see where this is going... Interestingly, with some guys this questioning may take ten minutes. With others, it may unfold over several weeks, for example, as you run into the same guy at the local gym and strike up an (ongoing) conversation...
