Let me try to explain. Of course Asian men are no more effeminate than men of any other ethnicity or race. But they have TO THEIR ADVANTAGE some physical characteristics that men find attractive in women, like smooth skin, youthful appearance, aesthetic bodies. I am attracted by persons who are manly like a boy AND beautiful like a girl. This puts me in the group of gays who gets turned on by younger people. Add to this the CULTURAL trait of Asians to have a friendly attitude, and this puts Asians at the top of my classification of people by attractiveness. This is totally independent of their availability, price, willingness, costs of living in Asia, etc. If I were a billionaire, I would still be looking for Asians. Evolution, Darwinism, was not mentioned to segregate Asian genes from the rest of humanity but to explain why older males have an attraction to younger bodies, both female and male. I am not sure how much this is true, but it sounds good and it helps dispel a convenient bashing that "old dirty men" are an abomination, bashing that comes from not so old ones when they are rejected in favor of younger bodies.

You said it. IT IS THE INITIAL THRILL. And this thrill does not need to last longer than the one night on short time or long time. There are smart people in this forum who have such "initial thrill" one or more times every day they are in Thailand on sex tourism. I am not one of them, but I recognize that they get much satisfaction with what they get for their money.

Do the Tourism Laws allow people 55 and older to come to Krabi? Will they get access to the beaches at Ao Nang, or are they reserved for younger tourists?

I recognize that all what we are saying here is relative, and we are loosely stereotyping. Of course 35 yo is not old, and you can be attracted to younger gays from any ethnic group. It just occurred to me something I have never thought about. To those gays with some feminine inclinations who like the manly older gays... what happens to them as they age? As they age they must be running out of older gays who are still sexually viable, until all the older gays become dead corpses. I now realize the fortune to be a gay who likes younger gays, because as I age... it only gets more delicious

It probably is offensive to you because you want to find it offensive. Why bring "offensiveness" into the discussion? Within the gay orientation there are masculine ones who prefer younger partners and feminine ones that prefer older partners, and if Westerners are more of the former and Asians are more of the latter, what is wrong with this? It means that pairs of Farang with Asian have the best chance to be happy, and it explains why so many old Farangs come Thailand to pair with young Asians And it is good that it is like that. Imagine if old Asians would go for young Farangs... it would be much more expensive for the old Asians, and they most probably would be left wanting.

I also admired the courage of the bystanders being so close to this contraption. The parachute opening helped a little, but one knows of parachutes that fail.

I didn't know that Tawan has a chapel.

Maybe a little obsessive?

You may want to add 20 years more. Neither 70 nor 80 should be a normal end of life. Even if one reads of famous people dying before that time (who should have money to pay for the best health care). Today I read that Prince, who died at 57, did so from an overdose of a prescription drug, an opioid. I agree that the father in the pictures aged well. What I challenge is the need for us to age before we die. But I have to take this up with the Creator...

You really thought it would be irreverent in this forum? But it is cheeky. The big cheeks of his behind are plenty.

But it is a tawan-size black hole!

This is quite shameful for Buddhism. What if the 40 dead tiger cubs were some reincarnated former people?

LOL! Did he know that he was posing?

No, I don't get what you mean. I have nothing in common with the guy you read about in the NY Times. I haven't stopped anything when I reached 60 yo, it was just another birthday. And I take whichever medicines I need to take to get healthy. At this time I don't need any, but one never knows. But if YOU have strong opinions in this matter, just cancel your subscription to Life and let it expire.

The oldest of my cars is 22 years old, and I drive it practically every day. It has never gone to a mechanic since I maintain it, and it runs perfectly well. The only way I would get rid of it, with tears in my eyes, is when I decide to buy a new car with modern safety features, and this won't be the end of it but I will give it to someone else. I also maintain myself in perfect running condition, and I don't know yet how I will be put out of service. Hopefully it happens instantly.

My favorite place in BKK is the bead-and-breakfast at Babylon, its "barracks". I have stayed there six times, and I feel there like at home away from home.

But... when I was a little boy I never felt interest for teddy bears. Instead, I enjoyed mechanical toys, and had a passion for disassembling things.. Maybe I won't be afraid of GayButton if i can disassemble him?

Dead and buried. However, there are some theories around. One theory is that homosexuality is a natural recourse against overpopulation. While the straight men fuck with desperation making their women pregnant with countless children, homosexuals fuck with desperation without making any children. In an ideal world, the straight Thai men produce a big supply of cute Thai boys. And then it is up to the gay farangs to come in with their money and rescue these cute boys from the nasty Thai women who want to burden them with countless little babies.

Is that so ? Let me think how some fellow who has control of a website where one reads and posts in free will can "discipline" an adult senior person in possession of all the personal freedoms granted by the Constitution of the United States to its citizens.

Well, thanks to your post I started looking at this swatdee site and found it interesting. I will start reading it and participate if it does not take too much of my time. Then the only site I will have left is the one of GayButton. But first I have to find the courage to do so, because I may be afraid of him.

Ummm.. no.. that's not quite how it happened. I'm so sorry to contradict you, but the one who brought "Darwin" into the discussion was bkkguy, who in post #30 wrote: "Darwin must be spinning in his grave" So you may want to direct your complaint to him. Abidismalli merely noted that the arousal by young bodies may have an evolutionary reason, without talking of who is superior or inferior.

LOL! It seems that the "THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN" has been received with a tone that is less than cordial. Is it because the GENTLEMEN are currently undergoing some body cleansing with acidic fruits, or or because there are no gentlemen who can receive the "thank you"?

Thank you for the suggestion. It's an interesting story. But again, I don't want to create a science fiction story. All the change I wish for is that our lives end gracefully after a given number of years, not by an inevitable decay of old age. And I base my idea on many services and benefits that stay "alive" unchanged for a fixed period of time. If I subscribe to a magazine for one year, the issues keep arriving neat and complete up to the last one, and then they stop altogether, instead of becoming more boring and full of errors to the point that I will cancel them. Same with my car insurance for a year, that runs unchanged until it suddenly expires.

I have to empathize with your ordeal. I don't know what hotel you checked in, but I would hate to be HORRIFIED on doing so. I usually check into my favorite place in BKK before 9AM. Even if normal check-in time is around noon, they usually have a room ready for me, and I settle in without problems. Ten minutes later I am in the breakfast room enjoying a well supplied buffet breakfast with fellow gay visitors, usually greeting people I know from previous visits. We discuss the latest about the BKK scene and issues of overseas travel, and one hour later satisfied with food and conversation I retreat to my room to hook up my laptop and get on the Internet. First priority is to "skipe" with my friend in the US before he goes to sleep and tell him about my trip and inquire what is new at home. Next I check my email, with not too much interest. Then I browse at the news at my usual sites and feel happy to be away from all that. At last I review my activities for the day and check back on the locations and times of the sinful places I am attracted to. Then I fall in bed and sleep for as long as sleep lasts, usually the early afternoon. Then I go downstairs to get my ticket for the sauna and go in to check that nothing has changed there. I start at the well equipped gym with some workout, followed by a lunch at whichever restaurant in the sauna is open at the time. After that, I make a first cruise through the steam rooms open at the time and warm up to the ambient. Ah, the newspapers! I could have looked at the newspaper/s in English in the breakfast room if I was not so busy with conversation. Once in the sauna I could also pick up a readable newspaper. I really don't remember which ones they have there. After I leave the sauna my opportunities to see the news on TV are gone since I have no TV in my room. Thank God! Now I have to get ready to leave the place and find my way to the gay scene, and then the rest of the world and its news completely vanish from my mind.

I feel the same way.
