As Barack Obama said when his blackness was questioned: "I'm black enough when I try to hail a cab." I'll just observe for the record: Mr. Trump isn't white enough -- he's orange.

I've got to tell you what I saw tonight in Goodboys. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. After enduring the insipid show at the nearly empty Dream Boys I went to Good Boys to off last night's guy for another "smoking" session. Unfortunately, he wasn't there. As often happens, when guys make money with a customer they go AWOL for a while. There was a customer sitting opposite me wearing stupid -looking white sunglasses and acting like a total dickhead. He was standing up and waving his arms around and "dancing" to the music. During one of the acts he got up on stage and lay down on one of the performers and pretended to be fucking him. (Don't you just hate it when foreigners do that!) He returned to his seat and when the show finished he walked up to the stage and threw a fistful of 100 baht notes in front of each boy. He went back to his seat, took some more money out of his man bag and threw even more money at them. They must have collected a couple of thousand baht each. The girls in the caberet show also benefited from his largesse as he stuffed handfuls of money down the front of their dresses and then threw another couple of handfuls up in the air. He stood in front of one girl and peeled of 12 notes , one after the other. Back in his seat he zipped open the little man bag of the boy sitting with him and stuffed it with fistful of money. I mean, literally stuffed it in. At the end of the night, when all the boys were gathered on the stage for the finale, out came the money again. Every boy got a fistful of notes. The boy sitting with me said he comes there every night - although I didn't see him last night - and throws cash around the bar. When I left, he was sitting outside and he called me over to say hello. The first thing I noticed was the Richard Mille watch he was wearing - the same brand Rafael Nadal wears and cost over a quarter of a million dollars! We got talking and he told me he was the doctor for the Barcelona football club and proceeded to show me photos of him with various players - Suarez, Neymar, etc. He told me he travels all over the world with them and has homes in Barcelona, Miami, Cuba and Pattaya. I was very happy for the boys but throwing money like that I find very disrespectful. And I'm sure the boys didn't mind! But it's just goes to show that money doesn't buy class. Apparently, he spends 30,000 baht or more there every night, but I have a feeling it was a lot more than that. Unfortunately, that was the most exciting event for the night as I went home alone.4 points -

I began with Fresh Boys again. My favourite groper from Laos rushed up and got started straight away. I wasn't particularly horny because I'd not long finished a session with my friend. But strangely enough, things started looking up, so to speak. We went inside and I had him sit with me, where we continued our fun. The bar was comparitively empty. I fully intended to off him, especially when I unexpectedly saw him in the big cock show but he told me he only did chuck wow, that was the end of the story. Right on midnight I headed over to Good Boys, just on time to see the rich dickhead doctor throwing his money around again. He was greeted with thunderous applause. A few minutes later I turned around and he had gone. My eye caught a glimpse of a guy standing in the shadows. I could see him waving at me so I had him sit with me. He is #69, from Cambodia. As soon as he sat down he started cuddling me and put my hand on his cock. (I only touch the guys when invited to do so). He got hard immediately. Mmm... medium size. Back in the room he was still very affectionate, with lots of hugs and kisses. As soon as we got into bed the medium became enormous. Seven or more inches of fat Cambodian cock. There is a god, afterall. There must be something in the water in Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Myanmar. They produce lots of well-hung guys. So fucking was immediately ruled out and we settled for a 'samoking' and chuck wow session. I had great difficulty getting me mouth around his cock. His performance wasn't the greatest but I was more than satisfied. He was jacking off as he was servicing me and came in his hand. Unfortunately, I'll be sleeping in a sticky bed tonight because he managed to soil the sheets a little. He turned out to be ever so slightly fem, but for once I didn't care.3 points -

I am far from the most expert on this site, but outside of saunas I usually turned to mileroticos/rentman/hunqz for sex dates. They often had their own place I could go to. A few suggested motels to go to. They can range from really dingy to quite nice. A guy I contacted on Chaturbate suggested a upscale sex hotel in El Poblado, but when we went in the early afternoon the guy on the desk said there were no rooms available and wouldn't be anytime soon. He was polite, but I think they had a no gays policy. We ended up in basically a storage room with a bed and bathroom in a building adjacent to a backpacker hostel. Still had a wonderful, wonderful time.3 points

I arrived in Bangkok Sunday and my friend came over to my hotel - The Raya - in the afternoon "say hello". Last night he was busy so I headed off to the bars. First stop was Nature Boy, just for old time's sake, as I haven't seen the mamasan, Jay, for a couple of years. Only 2 guys were working but Jay assured me they actually had a third boy but he didn't turn up because it was raining (!!). I sat with a guy but nothing happened - he was wearing jeans so it made things difficult. I quickly finished my drink and wandered down the soi into Super A. Oh, dear! Only 4 guys working. One was quite cute so I invited him to sit with me. He's from Myanmar. He immediately put my hand down his pants and got an instant hard-on. After about 30 mins I decided to let him go and choose another guy. As soon as he sat down he covered his crotch as if to say, no touching allowed. We sat in silence before I gave up and left and headed over to the bars in Patpong. First stop was Hotmale. The Second stop was Fresh boys. Lots of friendly, handsome guys greeted me. The bar was half full - mainly with Chinese tourists. The show was the usual with a bit of cock on display. Every time the ladyboys came on I went outside to sit with the boys and have a cigarette. Most of the guys are Vietnamese, one of whom appeared in the big cock show. Basically, this guy is all cock. As we were having a chat one of the other big cock boys came over, smiled at me and then started groping me! I felt obliged to return the favour! I gavr him a nice tip to ensure that I'll be in for more of the same next time I return. Then it wad off to Good boys for the shows. The bar was packed and the guys were very welcoming - lots of smiles, nods, winks and the odd chuck wow hand action. There were around 30 guys vying for attention and I was especially interested in a Vietnamese guy who sat opposite me rubbing his crotch. Later he was in the big cock show and he has one of the biggest cocks I've seen in a while. But I could make my move he was snatched by another customer. Tonight I started with Hotmale. They wanted to charge me 500 baht for a drink but I beat them down to 400, as I only wanted to drink water. About 20 guys but unfortunately, they were all in long sweat pants. The show was a series of weird dances with guys wearing mosquito nets and equally weird hats and wigs. Not much cock but at least no ladyboys. Then off to Fresh Boys. As soon as I arrived the ladyboys were on so I sat outside. Suddenly, I was approached by last night's groper. Before I knew it there was a conger line of gropers / gropees waiting their turn. I only had fun with 2 and we then retired to the toilet where following another session, they got their tips. "See you tomorrow", they said. "Sure will!" I replied. Last of all was Good boys. It was standing room only. As with the other bars the customers were mainly Asian. I had a guy sit with me and we started yet another groping session. He's a small guy from Laos and his cock is very small but he is as cute as a button. Suddenly, I found myself getting horny again so I offed him. Back in the room we showered together and it's there that I noticed his cock had grown somewhat. By the time we hit the bed I got to see it in all its glory. From small things big things grow. It was magnificent. Too big for me. So he proceeded to give me the best blow-job I've had in ages. He knows every technique in the book. He then chuck-wowed with a bit of help from me and a porn movie and then finished me off with his mouth. I guess I'll be seeing him again tomorrow night.3 points

Month in Cairo report
pong2 and one other reacted to Birmingham boy for a topic
Just realised I haven't posted a full report about Cairo stay this January. Got lots of useful info on this forum before the trip but had my own thoughts as I was only doing unpaid activities. 33 yo, average looking guy. I stayed 2 weeks in Old town next to the palace - lots of guys around but lots of sketchy guys, obviously lots of rubbish and poor people on the streets, not a pleasant experience. Had lots of interest on Tinder and Grindr. Was trying to get everyone on whats app straight away to swap pics and get an idea if they are legit and safe. To my dissapointment there were not a lot of attractive guys, not even halfway cute guys for unpaid stuff, lots of them had below average dicks as well. I am picky, and i've just realised i had very limited choice, felt like any decent looking guy was automatically an escort. HOWEVER, i did find a few cute average looking guys with good dicks. Just to give you a few examples below. I was staying in airbnb, and in the Old cairo most of those have a door man and mine was watching pretty closely, however I had friends joining me for a few days ( from the US and Russia) and the guy didn't ask a thing so I realised i'm allowed to bring anyone and just met guys outside and came to the flat with them acting as know them. Had no issues re:safety, most of the guys spoke decent-ish or at least some english. Loved a thai restaurant in Maadi and been going there a few times but didn't have much action there, and the choice for guys there was limited IMHO. Then I moved to New Cairo for 2 weeks, nice huge flat in a small house with a terrace and the doorman been living onthe UNDERground floor,so I haven't even seen him and been bringing guys freely. Lots of houses in New cairo had no doorman or the doormanwas god knows where, i've noticed. Surprisingly,there was much more choice of decent looking guys and educated/well spoken people so I manage to actually find some company for activities, go to places and obviously fuck. Lots of youngish guys, found some hung ones (pics were expiring so havent saved them) - and the area was more enjoable,cleaner and relaxed. One of the guys was coming to me twice on the car from Old Cairo and a couple of other ones also had cars, wanted action there but I had place so they just came to me, were quite discreet. There are not as many people in New Cairo but surprisingly, those who were there were just a better fit to my needs, literally zero escorts and just horny guys. It was my typical "working from somewhere warm in winter" trip so I had a nice time, but overall was dissapointed with the choice, quality of sex was also very average. However, it's a great expirence,especially if you're into manly looking arabs and masculine guys - there were plenty of them,and it's not all about money there. But I had sex a handful of times through the trip, it wasn't asex maraphone for sure. Colombia is my next trip and I hope for more success there but the safety there is another issue - in Egypt I felt pretty safe, with the guys, on the streets etc. I've notice some "police" on grindr, but I made super clear i'm a tourist, not into drugs etc and those sketchy profiles were not bothering me at all, they would either don't care and won't respond after a few messages or just block me. Give a try to Tinder as well - found nice guys there, just move them to whatsapp for pics and more "straight to the point" sex related convo.2 points -
From CNN Kudos to you if you can speak perfect Japanese and order food at a neighborhood sushi bar in Tokyo. If you can, chances are that on your next trip to Japan, you may be able to score a better deal by blending in as a local. Japan has never been a destination known for hiking up prices for foreigners. But overtourism โ fueled by a combination of pent-up post-Covid demands (aka โrevenge travelโ) and the weak local currency โ has recently prompted restaurants in the country to consider the merits of differential pricing. โPeople say itโs discrimination, but it is really hard for us to serve foreigners, and it is beyond our capacity,โ said Shogo Yonemitsu, who runs Tamatebako, an all-you-can-eat seafood grill in Shibuya, Tokyoโs bustling shopping district. He maintains that he doesnโt charge tourists extra. Instead, he offers a 1,000 yen ($6.50) discount to locals. โWe need (this pricing system) for cost reasons,โ Yonemitsu said.2 points

That particular scenario stayed on my imagination because during my first visit to Medellin I went to Donde Aquellos with two fuckbuddies, and my phone drove me crazy with hits. Unfortunately, I was taken. However, my base was in Laureles. El Poblado is not my favorite hood, but in Medellin you will not find a higher PPM (Puto Por Metro cuadrado). It is a good hunting area, and then you take your preys to your castle, wherever it is located.2 points -

I was planning to do the following during my last visit to Medellรญn, but the escorts did not leave me free time. You should sit in a bar in El Poblado, like Donde Aquellos, and open your Grindr. I bet you will have lots of hits, and you would be already comfortably settled at a table to interview them before taking them to your place.2 points -

Yes, I have eaten all over the USA, though not much in the Mid West, and while I have had some good meals, nothing really stands out. My friends in Oakland had a cousin who ran a restaurant called the Bay Wolf. That was good and reliable. Inevitably, he retired. I have been taken out to some fancy restaurants in NY, but nothing stucks in the memory. Funnily enough I remember a bar/restaurant on the waterfront in San Francisco, pier 3 or so, called Sinbad. Clients would go there at 6pm, and their drink would be on the bar before they got there. Those were the days when you had 3 or 4 drinks before dinner! One of the clients died of a heart attack! Still great atmosphere, until it was closed down, health and rental issues! Food was terrible! Once I was in Beaumont Texas, not recommended for a holiday, and I was taken out by a surveyor, a witness in a legal case. We went to the Beaumont Country Club, which had a view of 3 oil refineries! For an aperitif, the surveyor took us to a wet tee-shirt bar! Girls, unfortunately!2 points -

That's the bigger problem in so called rich world and not only attributed to tourists. A lot of both, locals and foreigners with money are buying real estate as investment properties, causing prices to rise and shortage of housing while whole highrises are standing half empty. Goverments are not blind to the problem, where I live every property owner must report if his house vas vacant during year, both failure to report or keeping unit unoccupied bring penalty of 1% of assessed value ( 10 000 for 1 000 000 ) house . Central government changed tax laws to quick buck seekers, if you flip the house within 1 year of purchase, income is treated as business income , not usual capital gain taxed at half rate. For a lot of young people in rich countries only option of getting own roof is when parents buy it or grandma is so kind and dies leaving her house behind. At one point it mail boil out.2 points

Finally made it there. Confirmed address on Line, it is Sukumvit 4 Alley. The Aunty at the desk wanted to charge 1490B again, I quoted the rainy season price of 1000B and she just shrugged her shoulders and said ok. Minimum tip is 2000B due to the boys being models:) Took me up to the 3rd floor and asked to wait. The room was great with a standard massage table and ensuite. Waited a few minutes for my massuer to arrive. I was not dissapointed. His pics were undoubtably touched up, but they were recent and he looked better in person. Showered solo, then started the massage, him fully clothed. Did a lot of streching and compression which felt great. At some stage he stripped completly and started with a more sensual massage, playing with my ass and cock. He was very good, using his mouth as well. He was adverised as a top, but as we progressed he said he wanted me to fuck him, which i was happy to do. He put a condom on me and lowered himself down. It was a great experiance, he was very passionate, happy to kiss and was hard the entire time. I told him I wanted to try him out, so he happily slipped on a franger and gave it to me. We swapped roles a few times, with us both climaxing when I topped him. It was a really enjoyable experiance. Not only was he hot, but he made the effort to either make a connection or fake one. Either way it was still cool. I tipped 3000B as we went way over time and I really enjoyed myself. Would I go back again? Definately. I couldnt work out how to pay the online deposit but that was no issue, just paid cash when I got there. I'd love to go back and have round two, bur there are just so many hot guys here! We shall see. Pics show the entrance and the room. They have at least 4 with similar setup.2 points

US border agents must get warrant before cell phone searches, federal court rules
KeepItReal reacted to reader for a topic
From TechCrunch A federal district court in New York has ruled that U.S. border agents must obtain a warrant before searching the electronic devices of Americans and international travelers crossing the U.S. border. The ruling on July 24 is the latest court opinion to upend the U.S. governmentโs long-standing legal argument, which asserts that federal border agents should be allowed to access the devices of travelers at ports of entry, like airports, seaports and land borders, without a court-approved warrant. Civil liberties groups who advocated for the ruling praised the judgment. โThe ruling makes clear that border agents need a warrant before they can access what the Supreme Court has called โa window into a personโs life,โโ Scott Wilkens, senior counsel at the Knight First Amendment Institute, one of the groups that filed in the case, said in a press release Friday. The district courtโs ruling takes effect across the U.S. Eastern District of New York, which includes New York City-area airports like John F. Kennedy International Airport, one of the largest transportation hubs in the United States. A spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the agency responsible for border security, said it was โreviewingโ the courtโs decision. โCBP cannot comment on pending criminal cases, and will continue performing its vital national security mission consistent with law and policy,โ said CBP spokesperson Justin Long. The court ruling regards a criminal case involving Kurbonali Sultanov, a U.S. citizen whose phone was taken by border agents at JFK Airport in 2022 and told to provide his password, which Sultanov did when officers told him that he had no choice. Sultanov later moved to suppress the evidence โ alleged to be child sexual abuse material โ taken from his phone by arguing that the search violated his Fourth Amendment rights. The U.S. border is a legally fuzzy space, where international travelers have almost no right to privacy and where Americans can also face intrusive searches. The U.S. government asserts unique powers and authorities at the border, such as conducting device searches without a warrant, which law enforcement cannot normally use against someone who had crossed onto U.S. soil without first convincing a judge of enough suspicion to justify the search.

How VP contenders are vetted
stevenkesslar reacted to reader for a topic
From BBC As Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris vets potential running mates, spare a thought for the contenders as they undergo a process that one past participant likens to "a colonoscopy performed with a telescopeโ. Have you ever paid for sex? Have you ever paid for an abortion? Have you ever had a homosexual encounter? This is just some of the material in questionnaires fired off during the exhaustive vetting process for previous US vice-presidential nominees. Potential partners to join Ms Harris on the Democratic ticket for November's election will have to answer up to 200 questions before they can even begin to be seriously considered. The vetters - campaign officials and lawyers who volunteer their billable hours for the networking and prestige - often have about a month to dig up every grain of dirt they can find. The Harris campaign has a matter of days to pick a running mate, with a paperwork deadline looming. The vice-president, who went through the process herself only four years ago, has been assessing around a dozen contenders, with Governor Josh Shapiro and Senator Mark Kelly among those being touted. Pete Buttigieg, who is also among the rumoured potential picks, was asked this week if the possible running mates are aware they are being vetted. "Yeah, you know," he said with a smile. What makes the whole undertaking especially challenging is that, unlike with cabinet picks, the FBI does not perform background checks on vice-presidents. The vetters will pore over a contenderโs tax returns and medical history. They may log on to his or her private social media accounts. They will scour the social media posts of his or her children. The grandchildrenโs, too. The least suggestion of marital infidelity, or any other skeleton in the closet, will be picked apart. They will check every record of every word the potential candidate has ever uttered or written. Jim Hamilton, a Democratic lawyer who evaluated potential running mates for John Kerry, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, told the BBC that notes of the process are destroyed afterwards to preserve โa strict, strict veil of confidentialityโ.1 point -

Immigration police launch campaign for gay travelers
bkkmfj2648 reacted to reader for a topic
From Bangkok Post Immigration police on Thursday launched their "Welcome Pride by Immigration" campaign to allay concerns among the LGBTQIA2S+ travellers who may look different from their passport photographs. Pol Maj Gen Choengron Rimpadee, commander of Immigration Division 2, said that many LGBTQIA2S+ people were worried about immigration checks due to discrepancies between their appearance and the photos or gender markers in their passports, which are often governed by the laws of their home countries. "Some people may have undergone surgeries that altered their facial structures, leading to concerns during immigration checks," said the official who oversees immigration at airports. He assured travellers that immigration officers are ready to review alternative documents and medical records to verify their identity as the legitimate passport holders, despite any changes in their appearance. Pol Maj Gen Choengron said that LGBTQIA2S+ travellers who have had their present appearances recorded by immigration authorities can easily navigate immigration checks, as the police already have access to their biometric data. "Thailand welcomes travellers worldwide, regardless of gender,โ he added. LGBTQIA2S+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and trans, queer and questioning, intersex, asexual or agender, and two-spirit.1 point -

I enjoyed my visits to Bucaramanga (BGA). I was also combining doing remote work and hollidays. The city vibe feels a bit like Medellin, but without provenza or the metro. The climate is also moderate. Cabecera is the more upmarket part of town and a good place to rent an Airbnb. It's the Laureles of BGA, but without the gringos. Prices are moderate and plenty of good coffeeshops & restaurants. There are large shopping malls as well. Gay life (bars / discos) is a bit limited, the only (gay) disco I visited was 'Deja Vu'. You can visit Giron, 30 minutes from BGA, a nice colonial town. An other nearby town, Piedecuesta, was a success for boy hunting and I made a couple nice nature walks and a visit to small waterfalls with a local guy. San Gil is a must visit if you like adventurous sports (rafting, parapente, ..), but it's a 2,5 hours bus ride from BGA. There's also a natural park that is worth visiting, Chicamocha. It has a small water park that the uni guys love to visit. The area just before the airport is nice to visit as well. Take a coat, since it can get cold, but there are a couple restaurants with impressive views there. That's probably my main beef with BGA. The airport is in the mountains and when it rains, the clouds hinder air traffic. In both occassions I had to fly out of BGA, it was raining and my flight was delayed.1 point

I've stayed in Belen, Medellin serveral times and had a great time. Don't expect anyone to speak english though. I would consider to stay in the northern part of Belen (around cc molinos, pq bรฉlen, San Bernardo, Rosales). For meeting local guys and enjoying the local paisa life, the area around parque de la Floresta and Calasanz (lower part) is also fine (there are nearby universities) and reasonable safe (and the metro is nearby). the metro is safe, even during night time (but watch out for pickpockets). Bucaramanga isn't that small. Together with Floridablanca, it has a population of 1 million. It would have been a good option for a week. Plenty of things to do and see and lots of university students eager to practice their English (and more). I would strongly advise against visiting Cucuta nowadays. Neighborhoods that were rather safe a few years ago became no-go zones. The Cucuteรฑos are still the nicest people I've met in Colombia and it's almost too easy to meet friendly, good-looking guys, but the security situation is dire.1 point

From Vietnam+ Phnom Penh (VNA) - The Senate of Cambodia on July 31 approved a draft law on the ratification of the convention on the unification of rules relating to international air transport, called the Montreal Convention 1999, local media reported. The approval was made during an extraordinary session of the fifth legislature of the Senate, held under the chairmanship of Senate President Hun Sen. The draft law was approved by the National Assembly during its second session of the seventh legislature organised on July 25 under the presidency of its President Khuon Sudary. Cambodia has been a signatory to the Montreal Convention since 1999 but has yet to ratify it. Countries in Asia that have ratified the convention include the Philippines (2015), Thailand (2017), Indonesia (2017), Vietnam (2018), Sri Lanka (2019), and Brunei (2020). With the law officially promulgated, it will allow Cambodia to legally ratify the 1999 Montreal Convention, which will eventually pave the way to further building confidence for air travellers and international air transport enterprises operating in and with Cambodia. Meanwhile, the international air transport associations are promoting the Montreal Convention to become a modern, equitable, and unique global convention to bring the quality of the aviation sector to a new height. ================ What is the Montreal Convention? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Convention1 point

Ismail Haniyeh's arrogance got him
RockyRoadTravel reacted to lookin for a topic
Hmm. ๐ค Well let's see. First off, Haniyeh was Hamas' chief negotiator in peace talks being brokered by Egypt and Qatar. So those are now off the table, perhaps for good. Second, Haniyeh was in Tehran for the inauguration of Iran's newly elected president, Masoud Pezeshkian, who publicly supported revisiting Iran's nuclear deal that Trump aborted in 2018. So that glimmer of hope has been squelched. And, third, right in the middle of installing a new more Western-leaning administration, Iran's territorial integrity was publicly and violently breached. So there's a sucker punch waiting to be avenged. If Israel had sat down specifically to create a plan for widening the war, I don't see how they could have done much more than they did with this assassination. Fortunately, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is more optimistic than I am. "I don't think war is inevitable," Austin said. "I maintain that. I think there's always room and opportunity for diplomacy, and I'd like to see parties pursue those opportunities." Wouldn't we all?1 point -

Election stealers refusing to certify election results (as has happened this year in Nevada already) will happen in November, in an attempt to sow chaos and to discredit the election process. The defeated former president loves chaos.1 point -
that's true, hunt is more exciting and challenging and if brings reward at the end , big ego booster. On another hand we need to be careful with various boundaries as easily we may land in hot water so if signs are clear guy is not interested , it's better to give up than trying to coerce him just by allure of money. Straight guys are in my opinion better for those games because if successful , they collect their reward and may even ask for another chance along 'business is business lines" without any drama. It took me three trips to finally get statement " we should have a drink on Sunday" from guy I meet on the street by chance few times in short time span. Then I decided it's not coincidence and decided to chase him as every time there was smile toward me. Persistency paid off and we meet every trip at least once. When he knows I'm there he sends me Line " what about tomorrow at 3 to 7 ?" and it's "yes" or "no" on my side without any fuss if I don't have time. Then he may suggest another day and usually does.1 point

I just came back from 4 night trip in Pattaya which was a partial success but mostly disappointing but I guess, this what makes the "hunt" more exciting and challenging ๐ I have propositioned around 6-7 guys in total. 2 orange vest taxi drivers, 2 russian promoters, 1 super cute security (black uniformed police ?) in walking street, 1 turkish kebab vendor and 1 super cute thai bouncer / gogo bar security. There's nothing really worth telling about these guys apart from the two whom I've had some form of success with. Super cute thai gogo bar security On my very first hour in Pattaya, I was strolling around walking street and got grabbed by one of the bar girls. I told her "no, I do not like girls but I like one of your security guards". She then continued to pull me inside and asked the guy to drink with me, the guy just smiled and politely declined. She then recommended me another guy who was younger and way cuter. I eventually found out that this is the younger brother of the first guy. Every one in the bar was kind of cheering him to sit with me, so he just kind of sat with me unwillingly. It was mostly annoying at first since the girls wouldn't leave me and the guy alone and kept asking for drinks. I eventually bought the girls and mamasan drinks hoping they would leave so that I can get some alone time with this very cute security guard. I was able to get his line but he wasn't that talkative, which was totally understandable because this was his first time (and also, the first time in the history of that bar) to sit with a customer to drink. The girls were teasing him to go out with me but he jokingly rejected the idea at first but then, on that same night, he agreed to go out with me to drink on Friday. Friday night, I had to pay 2,000 bar fine to take him out. This time, he was more talkative. I wanted him to take me to his favorite restaurant but he didn't have any. We didn't know where to go so we were just walking around while talking. He doesn't drink and he ate already so he ended up just drinking coke while I drink beer. When I was drunk enough already, I started the proposition. To cut things short, he didn't agree. I wanted him so much that I offered 10k even for just a blowjob but still, he said no although, he still asked about the 10k offer after we parted ways but then I was sober already so I just replied if he was willing to do it at a lower price. Nothing happened but based on my past experiences, this story will not stop here ๐ . I've had some straight guy encounters before whom had rejected the offer 3-4x but eventually agreed as time goes by (one guy agreed after 1-2 years of pursuit, lol) and ended up doing it several times (and liking it). Turkish kebab vendor I've already seen this Turkish kebab vendor work in another kebab shop last year in Pattaya. Back then I thought, there's no way that I am going to be able to ask this guy out as he was always busy attending to customers and he was always around other workers, plus the owner is always at the shop. Fast forward last Thursday, I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep so I decided to go out and smoke some weed to help me. I saw him and contemplated if I should ask him for a lighter but I chickened out so I bought one from 7/11 instead. While I was smoking weed beside his kebab shop, I eventually found the guts to initiate a small talk with him. I promised that I am going to go back the next day to try their shawarma. That same Friday night after my failure with Super cute thai gogo bar security, I went back to his kebab shop and ordered beer. I managed to find the chance to initiate a small talk with him again. I told him that I saw him last year working at the other kebab shop and asked him why he left, which is one is better, etc. As I was tipsy already, I had the guts to ask him if he would like to drink with me after his shift. He said yes and we exchanged Line. His work ends at 5.30am and it was only 1am so I went home first to get some sleep and set my alarm around 5am. Around 5.45am, he texted me asking where I was so I went to his kebab shop to pick him up. He brought me to this open air bar that, according to him, never closes. We drank around 3 bottles each and smoked weed. He also paid for some of our drinks which made me think, "how the hell am I going to ask him for sex in exchange of money if he can pay" but then this just proves that not all hunt are the same and you just have to try your luck with each and every guy ๐ . When I felt that we were both drunk already and that the time is ripe, I asked him if he would like to continue drinking in my room. He said no and said he would like to go back home now. Then this is when I went straight to the point and propositioned. I do not remember him saying no directly but I could feel that he was contemplating so I just said "let's go out of this place". Then on our way home, he said 5k but then I counter offered 3k and he said okay. It was a good 5-7 minutes walk to my hotel and the whole time I kept being this "straight" friend he thought I was before the proposition, lol. Inside the room, as I was going to transfer him the money, he said something along the lines of "I got your back bro, if you have any problems, just let me know". We were still buddy buddy at this point haha. I transferred him 2,500 then he went to sit on a chair near the edge of my bed and asked me "what do you want from me?". I sat beside him and put my hands inside his shorts. It was one of the best feelings in the world knowing that you finally get to caress the thigh and feel the pubes of the person you once thought you wouldn't be even able to ask for their line account. He pulled down his shorts and laid at the right edge of my bed. As I was about to his dick, he said "wait, let me get this big first". He told me to get mine big as well haha so I went to the toilet real quick and undressed. When I went back, he was still searching for porn and wouldn't let me touch his dick. After a couple of minutes, I tried again but this time, I was finally able to stroke down his cock. Just after a couple of stroke, I put his still flaccid dick inside my mouth. He wouldn't let me caress his upper body nor totally take off his clothes. I sucked him while his eyes were closed and moaning but it was as if he was going to fall asleep already. After around 10 minutes, he went up and pulled his pants up. He was like "wait.. wait". I thought he was just going to the toilet but then I saw on the mirror that he went out of the door. He video called me after and said that he doesn't feel good and that he is going back to his room. Overall, it was disappointing, exciting and fulfilling all at the same time but I guess this is what I signed up for going after straight non-money boys. Although this story might sound as the perfect example of why going after straight guys is a bad idea, I've had way better experiences with other guys in the past - some to the point that it is unbelievable. For example, I've had one guy who just agreed for a blowjob but it was so good that he was willing to fuck me (but we didn't since I wasn't ready that night) and even asked me for a kiss as he was about to head out. But just like the the straight guy that he is, I've never heard from him since.1 point -

do it. Jey Spa is in soi 43, about 10 minutes walk from Phrom Phong, they respond to Line requests almost immediately and boys are superb there. You can book or just walk in, there will be some available for sure. Not cheapest place and boys have their own minimum tip which will be clearly communicated to you when making booking. But quality of service and buys is superb IMHO. No trip to Bangkok goes for me without visiting at least once and recently I was greeted by mamasan ' welcome home".1 point
