Yes, but as your quote shows, it was used in a positive sense only in the early 18th century but since the latter part of that century, up to the current day, it has developed a negative and pejorative meaning. Just how old do you think your readers are!

I think that your use of the word "dilettante" to describe the organisers of the successful Phuket Pride events is an inappropriate, inaccurate and insulting use of language. I couldn't credit the article as journalism after I read that. dilettante ˌdɪlɪˈtanteɪ,-ti/ noun noun: dilettante; plural noun: dilettantes; plural noun: dilettanti a person who cultivates an area of interest, such as the arts, without real commitment or knowledge.

I find sex by selecting a commercial sex venue from the many publicised in Out in Thailand. Of course the photos are often out of date, and sometimes the addresses are inaccurate, but it usually works out in the end.

Still waiting to know why Michael was referring to Fountainhall as the owner of SGT. Is this like insulting a departed poster, or is there some foundation for this comment?

I'll say!!

Nice Tmax, when you can get a good threesome and teamwork like that it is fantastic, although it sometimes seems like the dynamic only works 50% of the time. Great if the two guys are into each other as well!

Great reports. For your first trip you are really getting around! Well done!

Happy for you Tmax that you got what you wanted, and needed!

Meridien would certainly be a very convenient location for the bars of the suggestions. Perhaps another alternative would be to take a two bedroom service apartment.

Are you and your friend a couple? On the one hand you write about splashing out, on the other hand you want a twin room, to which you want to bring back guys. Are you planning to share the guys? A bit more information would help us help you more with your choice of accomodation.

Dear Vinapu, very much enjoyong your daily blow by blow accounts. Keep it Up!

Some guys get very adverserial here when contradicted. Saxophone clearly shouldn't be listed as gay. Other restaurants that are not guy but are listed, have it specified that they are not gay but gay friendly. You need to be consistent. If you are listing restaurants on a gay site it would be assumed that they are gay friendly anyway. "Gay men love blues and jazz" is one of the silliest generalities I've read recently. Gay men love cock, that's why they are called gay. They aren't called gay because they love jazz!

Have you thought of a blog? Not that I want to stop you posting, as they're a good read, but I'd read your blog too!

I stand corrected. Lebanon and Turkey are indeed in Asia, although wasn't there something about Europe and Asia meeting in Istanbul?

It's a strange map of Asia that includes Lebanon and Turkey

I think that Khor Thot should just apologise full stop! Is he trying to insult all the posters in turn? Who's next?

More casually thrown abuse from KT. Does he have some sort of dispensation to behave like this here? Why does he always think that someone he doesn't agree with is some kind of secret shadow following him! I had a great time at Adams Apple, and with a versatile guy from there, last year.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed this. It's great fun for a few years, but the novelty wanes. The cleanliness of the water is often an issue leading to infection. I remember about four years ago when the main coast road in Khao Lak was blocked by fighting villagers at Songkran. It had started as a gentle tradition, but it reignited old trouble between two villages. Traffic was held for twenty minutes while the road was cleared.

Scottishguy, I don't know what you are getting so defensive about and personal with me. My response was to the OP post, and didn't reference your comments at all. Anyway it seems that we all agree that these desires and relationships do exist, to a greater or lesser extent. Statistically you are obviously less likely to encounter them if you surround yourselves with rent boys, than if you mix with people who don't need your or anyone else's money. No judgments, just probabilities.

If you think of yourself as a wrinkly old and unattractive person, then that's how others will see you too! If your imagination limits your partners to guys selling themselves, then that's where you will end up, nothing wrong with it. However you really have to be wearing blinkers to not see that there are guys and relationships as the OP has described. I had one Thai friend who wasn't interested unless the farang was over 60, and he was not looking for a relationship either, just hookups, and neither needed nor wanted any financial support.

Agree with most of the posters here that the least bad result in this situation, is to get the guy out, without either of you losing face. 500 - 1,000 Baht would be the compromise. Now you have one very pissed off guy out there, pissed off at you, and he won't forget you. Hopefully you'll never come across each other, although he does know where you live.

Oh right, so just a casually thrown insult. I know my posts aren't shakespeare, and I have less knowledge of the commercial scenes than most posters, but that isn't a reason to belittle every post that I've made here, by casually suggesting that they are all fake. Don't think you would do that to my face.

I've been posting here for more than five years, and I don't know why you suddenly think that I am someone else, or who that person is. Could you put some substance on your comment please. It's easy, and very hurtful, to make such a wild claim without any substantiation.

Guess I must have been responding to a bit more of your promo chat a month ago. Sorry about my intervention, but if you don't like it, I don't know why you keep reading. Like those people get shocked by something on TV but keep watching, then later they complain how terrible it was.
