There are several more on youtube, e.g. this one: I don't know why I am looking at these videos; I am not even a fan of such muscles! 🙃

A Google Translate of the video description indicates that it was at a Tokyo competition of the Japan Body Building Federation (JBBF).

For those not lucky enough to be in Bangkok and doing close-up muscle worship, maybe this will be helpful:

Yes. A lot of men assume that women's tastes are mirror images of men's -- straight women mirror straight men; gay women mirror gay men. Not true. It's well-known in the literature. Allowing for bell curve spread (i.e. there are outliers), it is generally the case that women tend to need an emotional connection before they want to have sex. This emotional connection can be real or imagined (e.g. among fans of pop stars). The centrality of emotional connection displaces the importance of the visual (physique/looks) to a large degree; which often gives rise to the age-old question, "What the hell does she see in that man?" That's the point. It's not seeing; it's feeling that generates the attraction. Straight men therefore have a harder time getting sex (outside of hookers), because they have to work at developing that emotional connection before they get rewarded. One doesn't have to get intellectual to understand this. Just consider four things: 1. For men, the high point of sex is typically, the climax. While the romance of the moment can be a powerful factor, it is nonetheless possible to have a good time without the romance, just so long as there is the sensuality of touch and the climax. For women, climax is not always attained. Therefore romance and sensual touch become more important. 2. Tale a review of fairy tales. It's very common to have young princes fall in love at first sight with princesses... and somehow that is enough, once he has won her, to "live happily ever after". You rarely have a traditional fairy tale where the princess falls madly in love just on sighting a boy. Sure, these stories strongly reflect patriarchalism, but there lies some truth beneath that. Men seem to put more weight on looks and beauty and think that beauty leads to happiness. 3. Lesbians behave very differently from gay men when it comes to the erotic or romantic. If they mirrored us, there ought to be lesbian-facing gogo bars, lesbian-facing massage parlours and lesbian bathhouses. These are virtually non-existent. Lesbian social bars, yes -- I just saw one in Tokyo -- but not the type of businesses that offer instant sex. 4. Straight porn tends to be filmed from the point of view of the man -- looking at the woman, her breasts and her pussy. This strongly suggests that the audience is much more male than female, which supports the thesis that visual excitement is much more a male thing.

Oh dear, there goes the floor! 🤣

From the Pattaya Mail: "The obvious solution is for the incoming Thai government to limit entries under the visa-exempt scheme to one or two in any twelve months’ period." Terrible idea: There are business travellers who need to enter the country more than 2 times within 12 months. Basically, the problem is that the Foreign Ministry is making policy (and announcing three different versions of it) without coordination with the Immigration Department, and without ensuring that the latter can implement it. Typically TIT.

Me too!

https://loriamedical.com/ I spent some minutes checking out the details of the procedures. There are pictures of results too. For example, the penile elongation procedure is designed to give you a flaccid length of about 6 inches... and an erect length of 6 inches (plus a wee bit more). The flaccid dick is going to look weird. As for the girth enhancements, oh gosh! Doesn't look any better than the poor Thai boys who have had it done. However, I can understand that for the small minority born with a deformity, this is a better than nothing.

Indeed, the social bars in Soi 4 face Silom Road, but the gogo bars of Patpong soi 2 are closer to Surawong Road (as are Moonlight and The One). It's hard to say which side of the Silom-Surawong block makes the bars more accessible.

I'm not being facetious here, but maybe other members of the board are assuming that olddaddy is able to walk the distances we walk. So maybe @Olddaddy can give us a better idea what his predicament is. 1. How far can you walk (in Bangkok's temperatures) before becoming breathless, or before your knees start to hurt? 2. How many upwards steps can you do without becoming breathless or knees hurt?

Was B2B still 200 baht tip or more? Did he quote for HJ?

True, that. "Sidegra" is pronounced as see-day-grah. Not pronounced as side-grer (rhymes with "cider" or "tiger") as I once heard a farang refer to it as.

For which product?

The local brand for Sildenafil is Sidegra. By law, it can only be purchased with a prescription. Taking advantage of the fact that selling over the counter is therefore contrary to law, many pharmacies overcharge. However, there are a number on the Sukhumvit stretch that have reasonable pricing, and there is one on Rama IV road that has reasonable pricing too. I wrote about it here: https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/2024/07/10/money-changers-and-the-gold-line/ (you need to scroll down to the section about Sildenafil). There is no local brand for Tadalafil. The nearest alternative is the Indian-made brand Apcalis. I see it being sold by roadside vendors along Sukhumvit Road, but since I do not trust the storage conditions or even if it's real, I don't know what the pricing is because I have not asked (not recently at least). Maybe some pharmacies sell Apcalis too, and if they do, you will probably get it cheaper than Cialis, but I could be wrong; fact is, I don't know about the pricing. The Indian-made brand for Sildenafil is Kamagra. It too can be found on roadside stalls, but I don't see why anyone would buy Kamagra when Sidegra is available. I think the majority of phamarcies have female staff, so it's something you may have to get used to. Rest assured, they're used to male customers asking for ED drugs. I think they get very few female customers asking for ED drugs 🤪

Hmm, that's pretty young. For every 3 or 4 of them getting leg massages, there is perhaps one upstairs getting the full works, I reckon. And if my observations in earlier visits are any guide, in the bars they are perhaps two-thirds guys and one third girls. There tend to be more guy customers closer to midnight though, from what I have seen.

Small dicks are an advantage when you're top. You won't get bottom boys turn you down with "You too big, cannot!". Until... you meet a well-practised bottom who is loose and roomy down there, in which case you don't feel a thing, and the boy asks, "You enter inside already or not?". Whereupon it shrinks to nothingness.

@a-447 How full was Fresh Boy? Were the other customers younger, i.e. in their 30s? Paid offs may not be necessary if they are young enough to get free sex in saunas. Visiting Bangkok with friends (and possibly sharing rooms) also inhibit offing. As you described yourself... It's also been said on this board that East Asian customers' routine might be to get a massage in the afternoon and then go to the bars. I don't have observations to support or negate this, though.

The Dianas, Honeys, Cathys, Wendys and Marys of Pattaya have long been one-way streets. Money only flowed one way.

In my experience, not always legendary. I've had those who tend to lie back and let the client do the work. I've had some who spend so much time performing the preliminaries, the 60 minutes are effectively reduced to 40 minutes. But I can certainly agree that the batting average is better than boys from Thai places, and I don't think Japanese management would tolerate the kind of guy that Daniu reported about in his thread "Bangkok Experience" - the Vietnamese guy who "bragged about how he was the #1 boy in" Bangkok's Good Boy bar and then made a scene over compensation. The flip side of all that discipline is that the Japanese boys are very conscious of time. If time's up, then time's up. They hop off the bed and turn on the shower. 🤪

In shower, client says to service provider: "Eh, why don't you have any pubic hair? Have you grown any?"

Please do. Because this forum on Cambodia isn't as active as the one for Bangkok, up to date information on our kind of places is going to be especially helpful.

Thank you for this detailed report. Old timers like me are always interested to see how newbies respond to the scene and what they think of it.

On reading this article, something made me look up where Okubo Park was and then I realised that I was there in an earlier trip. I didn't realise it was called Okubo Park, and I would not have imagined it was called a park. It was a concrete quadrangle that looked like a cluster of ball courts. It was surrounded by tall fences (so balls won't get out of the space?) and when I was there (after dinner) the whole place was locked up and empty. Maybe it was only open during the day. However, I remember, very distinctly, seeing girls leaning on the fence outside of the quadrangle. They were obviously working girls because they were dressed in juvenile-looking make-believe costumes that Japanese men seem to like in their playtime companions. There were a few men leaning on the fence as well, but they were rather rough looking and I was pretty sure they were the girls' pimps. At no time did I think the men were available themselves. Or rather, I don't remember seeing any boys offering themselves. The only men leaning on the fence were those rough looking types. Maybe I was there just after some clean-up campaign. If so, the clean-up might have been very gender-specific, for the girls (and their pimps) hardly looked nervous about being hauled up. They were sooooo obvious. A small point: Despite what was written in the article, I think it is outside (adjacent to) the Kabukicho district, not in it.

What? How did @Olddaddy's "7 nights" become 7 inches?
