When we have a sweet tooth, it is.

Arrived in Surabaya in the afternoon, about 30 minutes late, which seems to be standard for Batik Air. I flew business class, which is not exactly glamorous, but for these short domestic flights in Indonesia I still think it is worth it. Lounge access, extra luggage allowance, dedicated check-in, bigger seats, first on, first off, and your bag actually comes out early. They also somehow manage a meal service on a flight that is not even an hour long. It also left from the city airport, which was much closer to the hotel, and security was easy. The one weird part: they made me take my aerosol hairspray out of my checked luggage and carry it on. On domestic flights it apparently has to be in carry-on, while international was the reverse. Indonesia keeps you guessing🤷‍♂️ I was not even planning to come back to Surabaya. It is another big, ugly city, maybe even less visually appealing than Jakarta, with an even more religious feel, and it is Indonesia’s second largest city, so it is not exactly some hidden gem. I came back for one reason: dick. More specifically, a guy I had met on a previous trip who gives me really good sex. I even brought him the little gifts from Mexico he had asked for. Honestly, I could have happily spent every day with him and been perfectly content. Also, because Indonesia is mostly Muslim, the abundance of clean-cut cocks is a nice change of pace from Mexico, South America, Thailand, etc. Of course, thanks again to my brilliant planning, I only got to see him two days because he had also been out of town for Eid. Note to self: next time maybe check the calendar before building part of a trip around a hookup 😏 Unlike Jakarta during the holiday, the apps here were busy. A German friend of mine always says, the stricter the religion, the hornier the guys are. Surabaya did not exactly disprove his theory. The other couple of times, I met up with a 23 yr old guy from Grindr who spoke perfect English and seemed like he had traveled more than I have. My first guess was family money or sugar daddies. After talking to him more, I think probably family money, but who knows. When he first walked into the lobby, I would have bet a thousand dollars he was a total bottom. He said he was a top. Credit where due, he was telling the truth 😝. Average dick, but very solid performance. He also drank as much as I did, which is rare for a Muslim, but as he put it, he is Muslim only in religion and a whore everywhere else 😁 He was also just fun to be around. Great conversation, funny, not shy, easy in restaurants, easy company. He paid once, I paid once, which felt odd 🤔 Walking around with him definitely got attention. He looked different enough already, and then add the fact that he was with what felt like the only white foreigner we saw, and people noticed. On the street we got a lot of looks. In restaurants and at the hotel, though, there were clearly plenty of gay workers and customers around, plus a few lesbian couples, so it did not feel as shocking there. He told me it is illegal to have gay sex, not illegal to be gay, which is one of those distinctions that makes absolutely no sense, but welcome to Indonesia 👍 Next time I will plan better around the guy I originally came to see, because I really like him and I really like the sex with him and his big headed 🍆 Off to Bali next, which feels like my second home at this point. But I am getting ready to go to Delhi this morning, so the Bali report will have to wait. I also need to think a little more before writing it, because I met someone there I really liked. Then again, how is a whore like us supposed to suddenly settle down and be with just one guy 🙄

Jakarta was my first stop, 5 nights, arriving from Tokyo on ANA business class after a 9 hour layover there. I had used the layover to go try one of the Japanese escort agencies I wrote about in a different post, so by the time I boarded I was very relaxed and spent so slept like a baby through most of the 7 hour flight. Probably for the best, because the flight itself was pretty mediocre. Older 787, meh service, bland catering. ANA seems to be taking notes from the U.S. airlines lately and not in a good way. I stayed in Jakarta partly because there was a guy from the apps I wanted to see again. Really good top, big dick, definitely worth building a few days around. But I had no idea what Eid al-Fitr even was, let alone that it was happening while I was there. For anyone who does not know, it is the major holiday marking the end of Ramadan, so people travel, go home to family, and a lot of normal city life slows down. In my case, that meant the guy I wanted to see was out of town visiting family until the exact day I was leaving. Great timing 🥺 Because of the holiday, Jakarta felt more than half empty. The traffic was almost nonexistent, which in Jakarta is basically a miracle, but the downside was the apps were dead compared to other times when your phone would be blowing up. The hotel was also full of local families doing staycations. Indonesia definitely does not seem to have a population decline problem. Every family has like five kids 😝 So Jakarta started with a different guy. A little chunkier than what I usually go for, not fat, just thicker, but he had a thick cock and was a very solid top, so no real complaints there 👍 Then a guy I had taken to Bali with me two years ago spotted me on Grindr and we ended up meeting again. He still fucks like a rabbit. Slim swimmer build, six-pack, and almost Brazil-sized dick. The kind of guy who doesn't like to have sex in the same spot twice, so I was especially glad the hotel upgraded me to a suite because it gave us more options to work with, lol. Jakarta itself is not exactly overloaded with sightseeing. For me it was more about the hotel than the city. The pool and lounge were great, and the whole place felt like an oasis in the middle of a concrete jungle. Not a city I’d visit for tourist attractions, but for a comfortable hotel stay and the right company, it worked out better than it started 😉

Normally I'd go to Thailand after Bali, but luckily someone reminded me Songkran was during this time and I changed to go to India first then Thailand, then back to India for my flight to USA.... in my 27 years visiting Thailand, last year was my 1st Songkran in Pattaya and I HATED it..... won't make that mistake of being there for another.

Seen on an expats group on social media:

I know guys that have done this, also slapping and getting hit/choked in Brasil, seems more common there vs Asia..... be careful what you ask for 😝

I was with a guy about 2 years ago from Hotmale, he said he has a regular customer that sends him money as long as he doesn't have sex with customers, we went for drinks..... then we had sex in my hotel, that was a visit when I stayed at the Conrad, not the Tarntawan..... maybe he thought he could convince me to send money every month 🤷‍♂️

Yet, he has the experience you're searching for , ironic....no?

Nick name for a Thai Jail/prison

How are the wheels on those, I'm in need of new luggage... always had Eagle Creek with the heavy duty wheels...have an Osprey brand waiting for me in Singapore airport, also heavy duty wheels but haven't seen it in person ...yet.

@jimmie50 .... @hank75 and @mauRICE have given very useful and wise information/advice. You've seemed very level headed so far, so don't go off the deep end overthinking it. I almost fell down when I read you wanted to pay bar 3 months of off 🥺 Hank is right, they'll take him back or he can go to another bar, they need him too. But staying in BKK or Pattaya, may be too much temptation for one or both of you- he with his friends and you with "massage" or a cuter guy---better to go spend time together somewhere else, no? Wait....time and patience, don't rush into sending payments, if your future time together proves mutually amorous then do something special with the accumulated money you've put aside instead of sending it. I'm in Bali and have met someone that I really like and he appears to like me, not a money boy by trade but we met on Grindr...I might write about my time in Indonesia soon, when I can focus my thoughts and have more free time. But you came to my mind as he and I have been spending time together, I remind myself...don't get too goofy, he lives on the other side of the world and I'm a whore, most of us on this site are, whether you admit it or not 😝 He asked if I'm happy being with him, point blank... I said, "vamos a ver" let's see 😉

Airport staff has zero influence....computer generated, like I said supposedly random, but there must be an algorithm that sets it off. Rather than guessing, I asked ChatGpt: Here’s the blunt real-world version: The people most likely to get SSSS are not “people who did one weird thing.” They are usually people in one of four buckets: 1. People whose identity does not clear cleanly. This is the big one. If your name is similar to someone on a watchlist, or your passenger data keeps getting matched imperfectly, you are much more likely to get repeated extra screening. That is exactly why DHS TRIP exists: DHS says it helps people who repeatedly get additional screening, are unable to print a boarding pass, or have other recurring screening problems. Secure Flight relies on passenger data like full name, date of birth, sex, redress number/KTN, passport info, reservation control number, and itinerary information. 2. Travelers whose itinerary matches TSA risk-based rules. This is the part that proves it is not just random. GAO says TSA began using risk-based factors to create screening rules for enhanced screening, and gave an example of a rule that could target passengers in a certain age range on a flight from a particular country. GAO also says Secure Flight uses the Silent Partner and Quiet Skies lists to designate those passengers for enhanced screening before boarding. 3. Travelers on certain international U.S.-related routings. Per GAO, the Silent Partner rules are used for flights inbound to the United States, and Quiet Skies can continue enhanced screening on certain later domestic or outbound flights for a limited period or number of flights. So if someone suddenly starts getting SSSS around a particular U.S.-linked international trip pattern, that is far more plausible than “the gate agent didn’t like me.” 4. Truly random selection. That part is real too. DHS says many factors are considered for secondary screening, but for security reasons they cannot be disclosed. In other words, some cases are random, some are not, and the government is deliberately not telling the public how to distinguish them from the outside. What is probably true in practice, but not officially confirmed as a neat public checklist, is the stuff travelers always repeat: one-way tickets, last-minute tickets, unusual routings, certain countries, etc. Some of that may overlap with real risk rules, but TSA does not publish a simple consumer list saying “these 7 booking behaviors cause SSSS.” The only government-backed thing we can say confidently is that there are undisclosed risk rules plus identity/watchlist matching plus some randomness. A useful rule of thumb is this: If it happens once, it may just be random. If it happens repeatedly, especially with trouble checking in online or printing a boarding pass, that starts to smell much more like an identity-resolution or watchlist-near-match problem, and DHS TRIP is the official fix path. So yes, there are almost certainly hidden scoring rules and pattern-based triggers in the background. TSA just isn’t going to publish the recipe card, because that would defeat the point. Very comforting, very transparent, very government.

Note to self: Try to remember this in June 😉

SSS is random, supposedly. I get it once or twice a year, I can't associate any rhyme, reason or trend why. Also, the metal detectors at airports alarm randomly, as a "random" check.... I get it as well, frequently.... but can't win the lottery 🤷‍♂️

+100

Enjoy it, the regrets we have at the end of life usually isn't of the things we did, it's what we didn't do..... but don't sell your house so he can build his..... even real relationships fail. 3 yrs living together full time is the bar to get over in both gay/straight world. So take it 1 day at a time and don't let the heart (or dick) get in the way of the brain, seems like you're already thinking in a good direction 😉

Moses, you’re still missing the key point: protections and liability rules are country-specific. Same Visa/Mastercard logo, completely different outcomes when something goes wrong.I use cards from the US and Mexico… same logos, totally different experience when there’s fraud. …the “empty wallet” idea is already built in, without giving up credit protections. So why debit? You said virtual cards should always be debit with restricted overdraft… why? What are you protecting against that credit + virtual controls doesn’t already handle better? Your yield play is smart 👏 But for sketchy sites? I’m using the bank’s money 🤷‍♂️

add spelling and geography 😝

Brasil is a huge and amazing country... So much to see and do, plus the sex is amazing. Iguazu falls, Corcovado, Sugar Loaf, Museums in Sao Paulo, TONS of beaches (so I'm told), hang gliding, escort saunas and gay for gay saunas, sex parties, Amazon rain forest and river, Oktoberfest in Southern Brasil and the largest New Years Eve Celebration in the world in Rio....the list goes on and on.... did I mention the sex and big dicks? And meeting guys on social media can be risky in any country.... is why in Thailand the so-so bars and saunas are such a safe bet, same goes for the saunas of Brasil.

Moses, I get where you’re coming from… but that’s “your banking system,” not ours. In the US (and most Western countries), using a debit card online is actually the worst move you can make. Debit = your actual cash 💸 When it’s gone, it’s gone first… then you start asking the bank to give it back. Credit = the bank’s money 💳 Fraud hits them, not you. Way stronger protections, easier disputes, and you’re not sitting there waiting for your own cash to come back. Plus credit cards operate under different regulations and time frames, more protections for the consumer. And our virtual cards aren’t basic like you’re describing… • Dynamic CVV that changes 🔄 • One-time use numbers • Merchant-locked cards (only works at that specific site) 🔒 • Kill it instantly if something looks off So even if someone gets the number… congrats, they’ve got a useless piece of data. I agree with you on one thing though: using a regular physical card online in 2026 is wild 😅 But the safest setup here is: credit card + virtual card controls Debit is for ATMs. Online? That’s your cash on the line… no thanks.... we all don't have gold faucets money like @Olddaddy 😳

Certainly one of your twinks can show you, maybe instead of stamp collecting, you could reverse roles (not sexually) and let the student become the teacher of today's technology?? .....or there's always @Olddaddy , he seems like he's up on the latest tech 😳

Makes no sense..... I remember when I first met @namazu in Bangkok and told him about Brasil....he seemed interested, then after his first trip, he got hooked... would be an understatement, lol Go, while you're still able to climb all the stairs of Point 202 in Rio 😁

I sensed a subliminal theme here....💩 😳 You've been to Brasil before, no?

Reservations are a good idea as well.... the prices are fair, more than a restaurant with prison tables, sure.

you left a trail of broken hearts across Bangkok......😏
