Bari, Puglia
khaolakguy and 5 others reacted to joizy for a topic
Hey guys! I've gotten so much useful advice here, this is my attempt to give back a little. This might not be the most useful post, but it's my trip report for what it's worth. I spent a month in Bari, and it was the perfect base for me to explore Puglia and Southern Italy. I had a really nice Airbnb that was about 18 minutes walk from the station, away from the tourists, and in a nice residential area. I tried to meet guys on Grindr. I was willing to pay, but hoping for other options. I really didn't think my prospects were good since I was on the verge of 65 (am now 65) and I've gained about 30 pounds since COVID. But, I was pleased to find that there are people who are looking for someone just like me. Unlike here in the US, where it's rare, there were quite a few guys who were looking for mature, and also fat guys. The problem for me was they were not my type. I discovered this early on when I met up with a guy who said he was a bottom looking for an older top. I told him I didn't think it would work out, but he said he was also a good top. He sent some pics and was cute and had a nice cock. When I met him, I discovered that his face pic was probably about 10 years old, and his dick pic was either enhanced or not his. I'm not a fan of sucking smaller cocks, and he also wanted me to massage his feet but they smelled really bad. I was absolutely regretting going forward with this once we started, but fortunately, I was able to get him to come quickly. He left and blocked me on Grindr (saved me the trouble). I changed my profile saying I was looking for conversation exchange. I figured I'd rather meet people to practice Italian with, who would show me around, than try to find guys to have sex with. I still got a lot of guys hitting me up looking for sex, but my main focus was conversation exchange and if they were hot, I was open to more. I met one nice guy who took me out several times - twice to a restaurant, and once to Matera, in Basilicata, a must-visit place that was too hard for me to do on my own. We had good conversation exchange. But he wanted more. I gave him a BJ once, and that was enough for me. I didn't want to make it seem like I was leading him on, so I stopped contacting him. He definitely was interested, but was just not my type. When I took day trips that put me on the radar of guys outside of Bari, often new guys would hit me up. One guy sent a really hot dick pic, and then his face pic. He seemed married and really horny. He talked dirty to me a lot. I decided to rent an Airbnb for a few days in Barletta, near where he was, to see if we could hook up. Once I was checked in, I let him know I was there, and my phone blew up. He went on forever about all of the things we would do together. The next day we had plans to meet. He asked me if I wanted him to bring a friend. I wasn't thrilled with the idea, but I finally gave in. He was so excited. When he got there, his friend was an older guy, not particularly my type, but hot in an older straight guy kind of way. We all stripped and his friend immediately began playing with my ass. I started sucking both of them. The friend's cock was nice and thick. The other guy was average. I guess the photos he sent were not his. But it was okay. It had really been a long time since I'd been fucked, and they were the perfect size. It didn't take either of them very long to cum. It was weird, rushed, and hot. My final weekend, a guy hit me up early on Sunday. He was very interested in getting sucked off. His photos looked hot. He eventually made his way to my place (after going way out of the way) and I started sucking him. It was sort of hot and then he asked if I minded if he snorted. I should have said I didn't want him to, but I said yes. I then realized he was high when he got there and that's why he never fully got hard. After he did two lines, it was useless. Eventually he figured out I wasn't into it, and left. I added "no drugs" to my profile, for what it was worth. I met one escort who wanted 100 euros, but I eventually lost interest in him. He was Cuban/Italian and had a nice dick, but by that point in my trip, I was becoming suspect of the photos. The only guy I was actually turned on by was a guy from Bari who lived in Milan and was there for the weekend. We met up and talked for a few hours before going out for panzerotti. He had sent me his dick pics and it was magnificent. He was also very handsome. He was totally my type, but nothing happened. I don't know if I should have made the first move, but it was early on in the trip and I hadn't fully absorbed this attraction to guys like me. As I was nearing departure, a really hot guy from Calabria sent me an album. Let's just say he put Calabria on my list of places I'll be going next. So, if you are going to Bari or Puglia, thinking you'll be having a sex-filled vacation, I think you should reconsider. However, it definitely seems possible if you are open to it, especially if you can host. No issues bringing guys into my Airbnb. I also used Planet Romeo, but Grindr was definitely where I was getting hit up. Hope this helps if you're planning on visiting Puglia and are curious about what fun you might have.6 points -
Chillax Massage opens on Soi 6
splinter1949 and 5 others reacted to reader for a topic
Have done so and found everything (room, masseur, facilities) satisfactory in all respects. The showers in the eight oil massage rooms can easily accommodate three, although two is enough for me 🙂. In my experience, I’ve found the shops on Soi 6 satisfactory although I have not sampled any of the all-Thai 9-Teen shops. Others, however, have and you can find their reports scattered about in individual TR’s.6 points -

This is my fifth trip, so I am averaging about once every five years and Its been 5 years since my last visit. Prior to this visit Ive mostly done massage, and Saunas.... Well ok Babalon, Arina and Hero. This trip started off great, tried a new place to eat Foodland I'd seen recommend here Cashew Chicken was very good. For the fourth time I went to a gogo bar, this time I think name was Fresh Boys and watched the show, one guy in particular stood out 41. He kept smiling at me and dropped by for a tip during the big cock show but I was exhausted so decided to head back to my hotel. Note to self go back for 41 another day! Then heading back (it was late) saw massage shops on soi 6 open, first no one with much muscle but in Maha there was a cute guy with lots of muscle(I'm into hunks) super nice guy, good massage things go well, to much upselling after upselling probably my fault as I am not used to these shops. Still probably no repeat for me. Then back to my hotel to sleep!3 points

Is kind of how I feel about Italy in general....even when I was younger, went to saunas/clubs and was never really exciting. Also in later trips when the apps were around, many experiences like yours. Red flag, lol on Grindr filters, I don't use vers. it's like when the the drag queens ask someone their role and they reply vers, the Drag yells BOTTOM..... yeah that's right.3 points -

that's noble undertaking. I always try to visit every bar at least once every trip. If we don't sample we never know where our treasure will be. I never thought ever my best boy of the trip will be one from Jupiter, bar I never really liked, but this is exactly what happened last week3 points -
Day one went well so of course my Health had to tank day two. Muscle cramps all night woke up with a pulled calf grrr. Still looked around area my hotel is in, Took a light day. Day three. Walked down to the pear and took a boat to Wat Pho. Skiped the massage for the first time. But still love this place. Then Metro to silom for lunch S&P for old times sake then took Bolt to Prince. I had been to prince years ago, There was a write up in a gay mag about a new massage place. Some changes, the walk up no longer has stepping stones in a pool. I was early so only five guys there, I eliminated three as they were wearing shirts so took the guy who made eye contact and smiled. The massage was ok no chemistry afters were a bit disappointing, I could have been happy if he would have just got closer and let me feel those muscles (they were amazing) But he just pushed my hand lower....ah well. Still nice but no repeat.3 points

And again personal attacks and bla-bla-bla about reps. Exactly that did Kamala and lost. And you still uses her methods. Your job, if you want to attract new members on your side - tell about strong points of Democratic party and it politic. And you wrote two long posts and still said zero words. People like you is main reason of failure. You do not attract supporters, but only scare away the undecided. You scare away with your aggressive and uncultured behavior. You are useless. And maybe even harmful. You know why you are looser (not you personally but all people here with aggressive behavior)? Because you always remind to the undecided what another option exists. You just advertise Resps in every your post, and write about them more words than you write about own party.2 points -

Dear @joizy great writeup about your stay in Puglia. I lived in Italy (Rome) for 12 years and one of the more fun gay places to visit was Gallipoli in Puglia. Why? Because of its famous gay beach. I often had sex on that beach either in the hidden ravines (rock dislevels near the shore) or in the nearby forest. It was very erotic to do it outside with some of the hot Italians and/or visiting tourists. I stayed in a nearby gay Bed&Breakfast and I remember there being a gay disco at the beach - so you could get some fun during the day and then later at night outside of the disco on the nearby beach sand under the stars. https://nomadicboys.com/gay-puglia-travel-guide/ https://www.italygaytravels.com/discover-puglia/gay-beaches/ https://www.gayfriendlyitaly.com/lgbt/lecce/friendly-beaches/spiagge-gay-punta-della-suina-gallipoli-lecce2 points -

Monday evening took walk after getting massage and thought I’d share some photos that caught my attention. Keithambrose recently commented on how dark the massage shops on Soi 6 appeared to him. Well, he’ll be please to know that’s not the case with new Chillax shop illuminated Vegas style. I believe it was Floridarob and a-447 who introduced us to this place about a month ago. Mr. O’s is a bar that offers food, drink and intimate companionship on Soi Anuman Rajdhon (off Soi Tarntawan at Mango Tree restaurant). Although it wasn’t open at 8:20 when I passed by, it remains on my radar. It’s only steps from the long-standing Super A bar, massage parlor and other things. Further down on opposite side you’ll come to home of two old standards: Nature Boy and Golden Cock now under one roof. There are still a handful of members who have a soft spot (not in the biblical sense) for this bar that continues to carry on its lusty traditions.2 points

Trip Report Bangkok November 2024
daydreamer and one other reacted to Matthew285 for a topic
Second visit to Bangkok 15/11/25 So this is my second only visit to Bangkok and my first trip report. I will try to do an update every three days or so as I am taking my time and won’t have much to add on a daily basis. Staying at the Hilton Millenium a little out but only 15 minutes to Sala Daeng and 100 bhat in the taxi back from Soi 4 so not too bad and I like the full service hotels and have points so that’s another reason I use the hotel, also no issues taking people to room. First night I did not realise was Loi Krathong so the hotel was full with youngsters in traditional dress taking there Lantern’s down to the pier to put in the river, very nice to see. To take away the stress of the first night I had a boy from Dreamboys who I offed twice on my fist visit come for the night, we have stayed in touch since February so was nice to see him, go to Icon Siam for a meal, the place was very busy and then have first night fun, he headed home after a large breakfast. Hilton dose serve a very large and good spread. Saturday was a lazy day about 8pm went across to Soi 2 and 4 and had a walk around the area to familiarise myself with the various locations, I have to say I find shamelessmack maps very useful in this. Was early about 8.45pm but decided to have a quick look inside The One, funny thing I went to Tawan in February but it was the night the police had closed the place so just found a locked shop. It was probably because I was too early, but I was the only person in the place, three models on the stage and everyone else on their phones completely ignoring me, all older 30 plus nothing toned more solid / some weight. I finished my 500 baht coke and left within 5 minutes. The guy outside who had taken me in then offered massage and sex but he was not my type, same as the guys in the shop so declined and headed off to I think Soi 2. I called in to Dragon and Koi, again this is about 9.20pm so still early, couple of people in the bar had a cocktail (395 baht) and a beer (130 baht) and was joined by one of the servers from Myanmar who spoke quite good English. Let me know he would be one of the dancers that night but I would miss him as by 10pm I was heading to Freshboys for the remainder of the night. Freshboys (10pm show started at 10.30pm) the boys where on stage in their white shorts doing the normal parade, all twink / twunk most nicely toned and my type. Did not think I was going to off anyone but decided to buy number 16 a drink and he stayed with me for the rest of the night, apart from going back on stage on three occasions. Very affectionate and with a fantastic hard body all muscle from Vietnam. The place got busy as the show started and was full of people, having to squeeze in by about 10.50pm. There were only three Diva songs (same person) which where quite good as well as the big dick show, shower show and at least two sets where oral sex was performed so I thought a good show. By the last parade at about 12.30am my boy had not been offed so after enjoying him for the best part of two and a half hours I changed plans and offed him for the night. Quick bite to eat at Foodland. Walking past Dragon and Koi it was definitely more busy with a dance show going on two boys on the floor and three on the bar, but you would think at that time on a Saturday night it should be. Lots of fun with my Vietnamese boy for the night he left after having breakfast. This has gone on far too long so will stop at day two. Hope my writing style is ok, having read a lot of trip reports I find it difficult to know if this is any good or waffle. Feedback and suggestions welcome.2 points -

trip report

Day four I flew Bangkok Air to Chang Mai then had lunch near my hotel. While eating I got a text from Woody my guide from Siam Roads (about tour the next day) He mentioned his massage place so I headed over. I probably shouldn't have gotten a massage as none of the guys were my type but they were smiling and waving so I got just a massage which was not very good, the guy just had no idea what to do, he kept putting me in positions that were painful at one point had to move things alone. Oh well what can you do not every time is a hit. Day five Chang Mai with Woody: I'd been once before 12 years ago in a big group this was way better. His car was clean and comfortable. He had a bottle of water waiting for me. The drive there is a bit long but quite interesting going through a forest, by lots of temples. We had lunch across from the White temple which i could see from out table. I had really good cashew chicken and he said his curry chicken was good also (he should like it he picked the place lol)> The White Wat I had been once before 12 years ago with a group. This time more was done I loved the art cave? Also I just had all the time I wanted to really see things , I forced myself to be good and not take pictures inside temple. The whole complex is just amazing, beautiful and peaceful. The Blue Wat I really was looking forward to this place, I'd seen the pictures but in real live it is better. So happy I came! The Black House, I could have skipped this, not my thing. To many dead animals.... Then woody surprised me with the Chinese Temple I was very impressed with the whole place and all the charity work they do. I couldn't go all the way up the pagoda sadly but there is an elevator up the statue with nice views....well in the elevator guy standing in front of me was built amazing...but nice views out of the windows to!2 points -
EmmetK, Trump Propaganda Meister ??
stevenkesslar reacted to Suckrates for a topic
OPINION: Since the election which ended in Trumps win, resident troll EmmetK has been working overtime to foment and spread Pro-Trump propaganda on this site. At any time of day you can see his posts in every single thread on this Forum, often countering and dismissing comments from other members that are Never Trumpers....discounting FACTS and common sense info for his own Partisan "fantasy". He counters EVERY post made by members. The irritating part is that his posts arent simply "comments", they are ridiculing, antagonizing, often "parody" posts to boost Trump and promote his dangerous and harmful agenda HERE...... Trump WON, YES, but everything else he posts is BULLSHIT. Has EmmetK taken over the Politics forum and turned it into a Pro-Trump battleground and headquarters ? Dont get me wrong, he has EVERY right to post and comment anyway he feels fit, but the antagonism, and incessant attempts to "convert" forum members "To the trump train", when the Trump train is clearly a Facist , authoritarian movement, is troubling and off-putting, and makes ME not want to participate and have civil discourse and debate Here. Not sure if other members feel the same, so I speak for myself, and have taken Kesslars position to sometimes just "vent"...... Here's a taste of his latest post..... WTF is that ???? Get run over if you oppose Trump ? Sounds like a dangerous dictator to me. Trump may be trying to take Democracy out of out government, but can we allow EmmetK to take the democracy out of our forum ? "Sucky" Historical Note: EmmetK was Bozo the Klown over at the other site COM, where he was instrumental in the demise of the political forum by running that Trump Train ad nauseum, and employing the same strategy he is using HERE against its other members that werent aligned with him. It just goes to prove that regardless of his name, Bozo or Emmet, , a Klown is a KLOWN !1 point -

Have you ever seen how Christian priests address those who accidentally drop in to church? They don't yell at them, they greet them kindly and talk about love for God and about God's love. They don't start talking about Islam, Judaism, shamanism and don't start comparing Christianity to them. They talk about love, invite them to meetings and prayers. In their presentation, their church is the only possible choice because there is only one. And what do you do?1 point -
Bari, Puglia
joizy reacted to FunFifties for a topic
Thanks for the report. I spend five or six days in Puglia near Bari two years ago. It is a very nice area with interesting sightseeing opportunities that are not as crowded as elsewhere in Italy. I had very limited success hooking-up so the only fun I had there was in the sauna in Bari which was a decent if small place with regular guys of all ages. My next stop on that trip was Sicily and here the hooking-up was at a much more satisfactory level. I met very nice guys from early 20's to mid 40s in Messina and Palermo, so for a sexier destination you might want to give Sicily, especially Palermo, a try. Sadly, I share your experience that catfishing is more common in Italy than elsewhere. Twice I experienced a bait-and-switch kind of scam where I would chat with someone on Grindr that appeared to be my type. I would agree to meet somewhere, but then when I arrived the profile would stop responding or dissappear completely and "coincidentally" someone nearby, older, and less attractive would try to get in touch with me on the app. I love Italian food, culture, history and climate, so if hooking-up was easier it would probably be my favourite European destination1 point -

The next few days were boring I had worst cold Ive had in Years missed most of the Lantern festival as between Cold and air quality I was quite light headed every time I went out. off to Pattaya! Next day worth writing about is day 8 so I am going to skip to it. Lunch at Dicks (i wish there were still one in Bangkok) Went to good boys, No one my type wandered around, fell asleep (Still recovering from cold). Day 10 went to Terminal 21 had lunch at Foodland ok chicken fried rice. Back to hotel. Later went for a walk and let a very hot guy pull me into tomboys where i saw a really hot guy but just then my drink arrived then he was walking over to sit with another. I decided to wait and a while later a different hot younger guy came out. I am horrible with names and could barely pronounce his....but he was from Cambodia and kept massaging me, I had to take him back to my room, I am staying at the Copa so just a few steps, Mamason kept trying to upset one of their rooms....but no. I think i did pretty much everything wrong and didn't verify anything he did. He was amazing it all went perfectly, he was able to read me or mind read me or something but everything even the pace was exactly what i wanted.

Lively seminar about men’s sexual health
khaolakguy reacted to bkkmfj2648 for a topic
Time for an update. I have completed 5 months of TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) and the results are: predictable erection resolution? partially. I still have a dependency on PDE5 inhibitors (cialis, sideagra, viagra, etc.), more muscle mass as a result of returning to the gym and TRT, assertiveness - a noticeable increase due to my elevated testosterone levels - in excess of 1,300. Doctor asked me if I was happy and I told him: returning to the gym after 10 years has lowered my blood pressure and I am happy that I could stop with the related blood pressure medications, I am not happy with the unpredictability of my erections - as this was the expectation from TRT - where I had hoped to shed the dependency on the PDE5 inhibitors So, doctor prescribed to me peptide PT-141 (Bremelanotide), which you self inject at home into your belly abdomen area. The PT-141 was SUPER effective - when I needed an erection it was there and very erect - however, the main drawback is that erections were coming and going spontaneously throughout the day and night - interrupting sleep. So, after a couple of weeks on PT-141 - I stopped as I did not like the side effects - as the PDE5 inhibitors rarely give me spontaneous erections like the PT-141 does. Now we are on the next phase of ED (Erectile Dysfunction) treatment, which is ED Shockwave Treatment. Unfortunately, my TRT's clinic does not offer this service so I had to find one and I found the Yada Clinic here in Pattaya and today, 04-Oct-2024, I had my first shockwave treatment. Included in their elevated price, is: 15 minute treatment with the BTL shockwave machine pressed onto various areas of your penis by the female technician (It has been WAY too many years since a woman has had her fingers on my penis - no arousal as I was VERY tense about what was about to happen to my penis {note they don't have male technicians}). The wand applicator is pressed onto your penis and electrical shockwaves penetrate your penis - the technician adjusts the shockwave value to a level that you can tolerate - I made it to 48%. She told me that the average is around 50%. I will try to go to 50% next week. Is it painful? kind of - but it is tolerable - as it is not constant but comes in short bursts with intervals between the sets of bursts. BTL Shockwave applicator after I got up off of the ED shockwave table After completing the 15 minute shockwave treatment you move to the next machine = MSsculpt and sit on a chair for 30 minutes where the purpose of this machine is to provide you with pelvic muscle strengthening by electrically stimulating the ischiocavernosus muscle --> read more here at: https://hermanwallace.com/blog/pelvic-muscle-rehabilitation-and-mens-sexual-health This was not painful and actually rather enjoyable - as the machine cycles through various electrical stimulations at different speeds that are stimulating your pelvic muscle region. you sit on this contraption for 30 minutes My goal for this ED shockwave therapy is to eliminate the dependency on PDE5 inhibitors and also eventually TRT. The Yada doctor tells me that once you complete 13 treatments (6 weeks at 2 times per week) you should be good to go with an erect penis for 6 months to 1 year - which would be great for me instead of doing TRT injections 2 times a week for the rest of my life. After all was said and done today - I felt like Frankenstein - like in one of the comical scenes from Young Frankenstein with Gene Wilder My ex does not like that I am doing all of this as he says that I will kill and short circuit my dick and that I should just accept to give up sex. I replied to him that I did not move to the other side of the planet to one of the sex capitals of the world to give up sex. He did not like this comment because Pattaya is now going through this recent societal phase of Pattaya is no longer "sin city" = hahahaha..... I share all of this information with you forum members - as I don't mind to be a guinea pig and to embarrass myself with what I am sure will be some belittling comments - but my real hope is for those forum members who suffer from ED - to not give up and to know that there are many possible solutions so that you do not need to give up on the joys of sex.
