But no sex either?

I didn’t have sex with any of them. I go to Space for the muscles, not the dick.

I love Space Bar. They never take advantage of you. I’ve had a few add me to their social media and they still chat with me back and forth. At first I was sure they’d ask for money, some sob story, eventually. Never did. Just genuinely nice people.

+1 , I agree.

But if you are sitting and drinking there whole evening, buying drinks for boys as well , it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on your tab or ask for bill mid session under pretext you are not sure how much money you have at your disposal. That's is basically applicable to any bar anywhere unless they have system of charging right away.

On my first night in Space bar I lost count of how many drinks i had bought for the guys. I had a bit of a panic attack when I realised that I only had $50 with me, so I quietly checked with the barman. The tab was $46. Phew!

So unfortunately for the guys, there was no tip that night.

Subsequent nights I always had $100 in my pocket, just in case. The closest I got to spending that was on my last night when I ended up spending around $92. But that included generous tips.

You don't need to spend that amount to have a good time. 

But it helps.

Has anyone ever got off with any of the guys from Space? I guess it is easier to meet guys in other bars if this is what you want?

No harm trying, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'd love to hear if anyone has succeeded in the past.

it surely does, drinks are not that expensive , I think 3.50 - 6 $ so even if one treats say 3 boys with 3 drinks each, together with your own  it will be 12 drinks, no more than 50 $ at worst and that ensures whole evening of fun and smiles. Tips are extra but there they don't solicit  them. At end of night I usually tip them 5-10 $ depending of how long they were sitting with me and how progressive that sitting was. Most progressive may even get 20$.

Again tipping should be done very discretely, I learned  that lesson  early when  one of boy was upset that another boy got the same tip which he thought unfair. None of those involved works there any longer though,  judging by pics on Facebook.

By the way today they posted on Facebook they are looking for new staff. Not sure that 250-300 is per shift ( he, he ) , week or month and whether is salary or just tip potential.

Any idea how to translate that ?, I tried google translate but couldn't find a way of it translating text from picture, getting old is no fun.

be friendly , buy drinks generously but don't over do it and don't miss any possible hints. Guy's suggestion to exchange Line could be one with potential. Behave yourself and be very discreet and you may be rewarded with question ' where's your hotel ?". Do not stay in hotel nearby like Sun and Moon beside or Queenwood across as likely they won't take a risk of being seen

If lucky , absolutely  don't leave bar with guy, he may tell you where to wait or simply give him direction and he will find you there. They are not supposed to leave bar before end of their shift and I'm privy to a case of one of most attractive guy there who got drunk with customer and left earlier (alone). Was fired subsequently.

It's basically the same game like you are attending party and you get a feel that certain guy (or girl) is giving you long looks and you are doing the same.

Fact that guy allows you to get a feel my or may not be a hint , it only may be a hint you should tip him something so do not make any assumption.    

That's true that they generally don't go with customers or at least it's what they convincingly say but it's not monastery and some may be keen on using their assets to generate some cash.

" Be discrete " part  includes reporting your luck here, boast by any mean but be as little specific as possible so preferably neither  guy can not be identified. 

Speaking from first hand experience.

you are genius , gentleman and a scholar.

Since I swear in 7 languages I need translation rarely , hence my visible lack of sophistication

[a-447]

As pointed out by Vinapu, discretion is of the utmost importance when dealing with the guys at Space bar. 

Don't do anything without their permission, and remember that some (most?) of the guys are straight.

I use an app called google lens to translate written languages. It even reads Burmese, which google translate can not.

Handy when looking at those myannmar spa sites.

as always, I wonder how really straight are guys who are working in bar advertising itself as gay bar with rainbow flag up front but I give them benefit of doubt and accept that work there does marvels to their vanity, lol

As someone who actually find short muscular guys attractive, im appalled with the 1.7m requirement.

honestly , sometimes when they say they are straight I think they  mean just 'standing straight" as opposite to being bent

and me although I don't see that requirement as discriminatory. They want keep appearance of bar with handsome hunks and entitled to set the rules which conform to their understanding of handsome.

Kind of uniformity in Jupiter or Hot Male has advantages as one going there knows what to expect in term of looks while  Dreamboys of Tawan (The One) with their cacophony of types is always bit of lotter, not a bad thing itself though. All depends what patrons are looking for

I prefer shorter guys than me 1.75, HARDLY go with someone my height or taller.

I have this at the entrance to my bedroom 😝

 

[Keithambrose]

One advantage  of shorter guys is that their cocks seem bigger!

I've never understood women.

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.

I am with you on this feeling @spoon - especially as it relates to that sexy beach attendant from Myanmar on the Dongtan beach here in Jomtien.  As we both know, he has BIG sex appeal and is definitely not 1.7m

[reader]

If as woman had a good relationship with her father, she may well be attracted to a mate with similar characteristics.

Aside from the face--which we all focus on first, women find men with a muscular bubble butt attractive. And a V-shaped physique. Maybe we're not so different after all.

I look at this way: if the Olympics doesn't have a minimum height requirement,why should a pub. Plenty of short, attractve specimens on display in Paris a few weeks ago.

Or as Billy Crystal used to say, "women need a reason to have sex, men just need a place."

[brall3]

Are there massage places with "happy endings" or only bars, like Space, with host boys?
