But at least it will always be hard, no matter how small it is!

Well, I didn't really assume anything. . I've got no idea if barebacking is prevalent in Taiwanese saunas, as I haven't visited one. It's just that barebacking is definitely a possibility in any gay sauna, although I've never seen it in Europe. Even if only one guy barebacks, I don't want to get anywhere near his cock after the event. Gay apps are not really my thing as I prefer to meet guys in the flesh, so to speak. I've only ever met one guy off the internet (gayromeo) and that was in Prague. As it turned out, he was great but there's way too much uncertainty, as far as I'm concerned. Still, if I had access to grindr, etc here I think I'd probably give it a go. Maybe I'll just buy another phone, download all the apps and only use it when I travel.

Haha...just re-read those posts. And that's exactly how it turned out. But to be honest, I didn't come here with great expectations of getting laid. If it happened,not happened but I'm just as happy doing the sightseeing bit. Let's face it - nothing in the world compares to Thailand when it comes to sex. It's just so easy there, whereas everywhere else is just too difficult. Well, maybe I can exclude Cambodia as I've had some great trips there. Tonight I wandered down to PowerSpa massage. I think I found it but I'm not sure. It's apparently next to the Riverside Hotel, according to their website.. There was one place with the doors half closed. I peeped inside and saw a desk and a sofa but it may not have been PowerSpa. It could have been somebody 's apartment. Next door were some stairs leading up to who knows where. Their website shows the name in Chinese. I can read Chinese but I'm dammed if I could find any sign displaying their business. Maybe they've closed. As I said, it's all just too hard.

I read it as - Would there be any downside to marrying a guy from Thailand? Maybe he's heard stories of Thai guys (and girls) taking the farang to the cleaners and is wondering if it's a good idea. We need more information, declan.

I prefer to travel alone, and I've noticed that everywhere I go in S.E. Asia I'm approached by someone either offering me sex or wanting to introduce me to a prostitute. The guy asked me early on in the conversation if I was travelling with my wife. When I told him I was single, he had succeeded in getting the information he needed. Yes, I was probably gay. Time for him to make his move. I think there are lots of spammers in Asia preying on gay guys. I was suspicious right from the start. Why would a young, relatively attractive guy be interested in a total stranger, especially one much older than himself? I remember a tuk-tuk driver in Siem Reap offering me "lady boom-boom." To get rid of him I told him my wife would not be very happy. "No probrem. Have young boy can take care of your wife." Hilarious! I've never been approached for sex in any other part of the world. TomNg, I guess from the boy's point of view, if just one foreigner gives in to his demands, he's ahead. I was eventually able to find the Han sauna after being given some information by a couple of posters over on gaybuttonthai.com. But I decided not to bother, especially as the weekend has been and gone. Every since I saw, or rather "heard" all that barebacking going on the Otot-otot sauna in KL, I've kind of lost a bit of interest. The last thing I want to do is play with a cock that had been up someone's arse! Yuk!!! I thought about a massage but from everything I've read, all you get for your $100 is a hj. No value for money there! I've checked on gayromeo.com but it's not very active. I can't download the gay apps, as my ipad is sometimes used by others. There's probably more action on grindr. I'm off to Okinawa on Friday and will give gayromeo a look. But I think my only realistic option for sex will be in Bangkok at the end of my trip.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I've always found the French to be far less sophisticated than people think. Just my humble opinion.

Yep, that sums up Eros perfectly! It suits me, too and is always the first place I visit when in Pattaya. Goodboys is not far behind. Eros is such an institution that if it ever closed, I think that could be the end of Sunee Plaza.

My plans for today ended up going all over the place, like I did. And there were a couple of surprises, one not so pleasant. I got onto the subway, sat down and just enjoyed the eye candy. One guy in particular was stunning ; very tall, slim and with the cutest face. Gorgeous! I've noticed that all the guys here look very fit - not a fat guy in sight. The nicest looking guys always seem to be with their girlfriends. Oh, well..... I was determined to climb Mt Xiangshan -actually, it's a hill - to enjoy the famous view back towards the Taipei 101 skyscraper. But first of all, I went up to the 89 floor to the viewing platform. The sign at the ticket counter said viewing conditions were "good.". Something was lost in translation as when I got to the top, all I could see was fog! But all was not lost. There is a fantastic shopping area you have to walk through to get to the elevator. There are heaps of shops selling ceramics, which I just so happen to collect. So making a mental note to come back later, I walked down the street to the start of the hiking trail up the hill. When I got to the stairs I almost had a heart attack! They went straight up as far as the eye could see. How on earth am I going to manage that? But I'd come all this way so I was decided to just go for it. And thank God I did. Sure, the climb was exhausting - although I managed to leave some younger guys in my wake - but I got an unexpected reward. I was sitting down taking a short break when suddenly a group of young guys - shirtless and wearing short shorts! - came jogging up the stairs. OMG! Look at those bodies! Look at those 6-packs! And a couple of bubble butts, too! Who were they? Army guys? Fitness fanatics? All I can say is, the view from the observation platform in the top of the hill paled into insignificance. On reaching the platform I tried to take a selfie with my new camera, but was having a bit of trouble. Just then a young guy appeared and offered to take my photo. In typical Asian style he took about a dozen. I thanked him and started on the trail back down when he suddenly appeared next to me. He wanted to practise his English. Sure, no probrem. We sat down and started talking but the vibe suddenly changed when he asked me if I liked guys. My heart stayed racing. What does he want? Is he a money boy? Is he one of those guys fountainhall mentions - the ones who just want to have sex with a westerner? How do I find out? Do I just ask him? So I asked him if he had a job and whether or not he earned good money. He assured me he did. He then asked me if I would like him to come back to my hotel - we could relax there and he could practise his English and he would teach me some Chinese. (nudge nudge, wink wink). I told him I wanted to go back to Taipei 101 to buy some ceramics and after that we could go back to the hotel. Not a problem, as he wanted to see something in a store there, too. After I'd bought what I wanted it was his turn to go shopping. I followed him into Louis Vuitton; he wandered off to the clothing section and I looked at the shoes. Suddenly, he appeared with a jacket. "What do you think? Does it suit me?" "Looks great. Are you going to buy it?" Jesus, I thought. He must be earning good money if he can just walk into LV and buy a jacket! "No," he said, putting his arm around my waist. "Can you buy it for me?" Gulp! You want me to buy you a $2000 jacket?? Really? I hardly know you. Besides, although you are very attractive, I'd hardly call you a stunner. To cut a long story short, he didn't get his jacket and I never got to have sex with him. He stormed out of the store in disgust. Somehow I think I missed a bullet. Was he really planning to come back to my hotel, or is that just his modus operandi - con a gay westerner into thinking he'll get sex, only after he's bought him something expensive. Was this some kind of scam? So if you ever run into a guy called Danny on Xiangshan, be warned! Lol So I decided to go to the Chang Kai Shek Memorial and ended up spending quite a long time walking around there. Then back to Taipei 101 to have a lunch at the famous Din Tai Fung dumpling restaurant. The line there was long and I had to wait about 40 minutes but it was well worth it. The best dumplings ever! And then another hour or so upstairs shopping. By now I was exhausted - my smartwatch told me I'd walked 13 kilometres (!) so I decided to head back, shower and then head off to Hans sauna. But I got lost. Maybe I was just too tired but I wandered around and around but never found it. The problem is, it's hard to find the street names and all the streets look the same. I could have walked down to the massage place but in the end I just couldn't be bothered. So here I am, back in the hotel writing this report. Maybe tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

So it kind of begs the question - why do you have to come to Thailand and pay for sex??

I guess that simply depends on what your "daily sperm quota" is. We are all different. These days, mine is twice a day with quite a long time in between. But that doesn't mean sex has to stop there. I'm also a bottom so I guess theoretically I could go all night. (Not that I do). BTW, when I was growing up I had Japanese friends who could easily cum 5 or 6 times a day! Every day! Needless to say, I didn't even try to compete. So maybe it's genetic, too. And I must say, a visit to a massage place for me always ends in full-on sex. A hj just doesn't cut it. As I'm top and bottom, I like to do both in one session if possible. Of course, the tip is adjusted to reward the boy for his effort.

Taipei airport would have to be the most frustrating airport I have ever been at. First, I lined up at the non-citizen area of Immigration, where 15 lines snaked back and forth. After waiting on line for about 20 minutes, I was shunted outside the barrier to another line which hardly moved at all. All in all it took about 40 minutes to get outside. I headed straight for a bank of Taiwan atm, but again, there was a line a mile long. The reason why it hardly moved was because the atm machine was so fucking slow! When I finally got there it rejected my 2 credit cards! So off to find another one. It worked! Opposite the atm was a counter which sold tickets to the MTR train into the city, so I lined up. It wasn't till I finely got close to the counter until I saw the sign - No one-way tickets sold here. Proceed to MTR station. I joined yet another long line to buy my ticket from the vending machine but it would not accept my NTW$ 1000 note. So I lined up to try another machine. Then I saw it - a notice saying one-way tickets could only be bought at the information desk! Why not place that sign near the vending machines?? So off to line up yet again. I eventually made it to my hotel in Ximen. I hope these events are not a precursor to a frustrating trip to Taiwan. I've just come back from the gay bar area surrounding the Red House. Bring Saturday night the bars were packed with lots of gay couples /groups as week as hetero couples. Unfortunately, not as much eye candy as I expecting. Tomorrow afternoon I may wander around to have a look at the massage places in this area. I hope I'll have something interesting to report!

"i´m also interested in meeting a Tomboy for man." Pardon my ignorance, but what is this? In Australia a tomboy is a girl who acts masculine. Is that what you are looking for?

Just stay in a hotel which telephones you to see if everything is ok when the boy comes to collect his ID card. That way, you are covered. As for snoring, well that's a different matter. Like paul, I'm the one who snores so I never do long time.

If I find a good "masseur" I just stick with him every day. And before too long, we don't even bother with the "massage" - we get straight down to business. Not a minute to waste! Lol

Once ISIS is kicked out of the Middle East, they will probably set up a new caliphate in the southern Philippines. Or maybe even in southern Thailand. It may not be safe for much longer.

So yet another case of the police just going through the motions. And probably picking up a bit of tea money along the way. What a fucking waste of time.

If there are any rules, then I guess you are the one who makes them, as you have the money. And money is power in the bars. Isn't it just common sense when it comes to payment? If you were in their position, wouldn't you want to be rewarded for your time? I always apply the value for money rule, and disregard the cost. I'll pay a guy what I think he is worth. If I have him sit with me for a chat, the minimum is a drink and 100 baht. If I feel really attracted to him I'll give him more. If I'm really, really attracted to him, the chat finishes and we end up in my room. I treat the "going rate" as a guide only.

Yes, that was a common occurrence in Solid. I think the farang was the owner. My regular guy in Pattaya used to work at Sunny Boys. Even though I had offed him for the duration of my holiday, we used to drop in every night for an hour or so. I always had his friends come and sit with us, so we got to enjoy chatting with them and they got drinks and tips. But as they knew I would not be offing them, I told them to feel free to get up and leave if a potential customer came in. Surprisingly, they usually decided to remain with us. The bond between some of these guys is very strong, especially as they often come from the same town.

Next to zero. Of should I say, the odds are the same as those for you trying to hook up with someone in their 80's who happened to smile at you. Would you go with him? There's your answer.

Reminiscent of taxis I came across in Vietnam, where the drivers insisted on using the meter. I later discovered they were rigged to turn over more quickly, leading of course to a much higher fare. Scamming taxi drivers are the bane of tourists. I don't find Thai taxi drivers any worse than anywhere else. I remember one time a taxi driver was the beneficiary of a happy ending from me! He was an old guy and he was bemoaning the cost of visiting the local brothel. So as I got out at the airport I gave him some money to cover his next few visits to see his favourite girl. The look on his face was worth every baht!

I agree with paulsf - what he is saying is : to each his own. Hard to argue with that. I pay more for a guy from Soi Twilight than soi Tawan, as the Twilight guys have to spend more to make themselves more presentable. They are up on a stage for everyone to see. I pay more to a one-off guy than I do for a regular, who I see every day. 2000 ST is ok if the guy really performs. I take no notice of quotes from mama-sans. I'm not having sex with them. The guys are individual contractors and they are the ones who have the right to quote. For shopping and food, you can't beat Bkk. Siam Paragon, with it's restaurants, shops and gourmet supermarket do it for me during the day. But for night time sleaze, Pattaya wins hands down. If that's your thing.

If you paid 3000 baht you can be sure of one thing in that bar - the boy would have received very little; the two incredibly greedy mama-sans would have taken the lion's share.

Christian, I'll be in Taipei in a few weeks time, and hope to report on the gay hotsprings. Ukladd, go to Pattaya, find your way to Sunee Plaza and ask for directions to Goodboys. Plenty of cum on tap there! Sometimes the boys in Niceboys of Powerboys in Sunee sit on the edge of the stage and jack off, but If you want them to cum, be prepared to pay. Ditto Eros in Sunee. Anything is possible if you are prepared to pay.

3000 baht for any service at Super A is way over the top. I think it's 400 to use the room, plus tip (1200 baht?).

Unfortunately, as you know, condoms are lube not available on site so you have to bring your own. That's not a problem, but where would you keep them? If the place ever got raided by the police, you'd need to get rid of any condoms asap.
