Caeron's experience makes me wonder if Bangkok is much fun anymore. A post on gaythailand by Michael was also not encouraging. I have been there 15 times over the years, and certainly in the beginning (1987) it was a blast. Now it seems all money-oriented, giving as little as possible for the highest rate. Boys lazy in bed, such as the Tawan guy. The innocence seems gone for good, and that was part of the attraction. I used to think the guys were glad to be chosen and eager to please. There was no race to the door when finished either. Am I wrong?

They weren't that great a place to stay to begin with, and now down to $40 I am not encouraged. I did love the location.

Who is the author?

We are concerned about Bieber's penis. It could be improperly waylaid should he pick the wrong woman. Many of us picture it shooting gobs and gobs of sperm. Then we imagine that the sperm hits our face, where we can quickly use our tongue to taste and savor it.

We can agree on that. Trump is opposed to breast feeding because he is kissing up to the baby food manufacturers. The US browbeat Ecuador into changing its position on the subject or face punitive actions by the US, including cuts in aid. We are now bullies. Just ask North Korea!

The ability of North Korea to send a nuclear bomb to the United States makes it our business. As members of organizations of Asian states, we have obligated ourselves to their defense as well. Do you think it would not be "our business" if North Korea nuked Japan or South Korea? Thailand?

Oz, thanks for the reply. I now see that you are trying to keep anything resembling porn to a forum where only members can see it, thus preventing casual surfers from viewing it. I don't know why I didn't pick up on this earlier, but better late than never.

One thing for sure, it isn't all about money. I have been with Tomcal in Brazil, sat with him at the saunas, and have first-hand observations on how people react to him. He gives off an aura that Suckrates can only dream of- it's warmth! People react to that. He smiles a lot, welcomes everyone. He isn't a vending machine for food or drinks or sex. Life at the saunas day after day might become a grind for the garotos, but tomcal shakes it up. There's always something happening when he is around and the guys react to that. I can't do it, that I will easily admit. But this knocking him for his success is unseemly. Be happy for him. He shares here so much information that the forum would never have become the success it is without him.

Matt starts out changing his clothes, so at the least audience members see him in his underwear, but from my seat a mirror gave me a quick look at his butt. He has a nice butt and a nice bulge. Once the play gets going, he has less of a role than I expected. He is clearly the handsomest actor, but his role is rather unimportant, or so I thought.

I read somewhere that boytoy.com wouldn't be subject to new rules on internet prostitution, etc. since it is not a US based company. Wrong? Otherwise, why the changes? I do note that Oz says the change is necessary for multiple reasons. But what difference does it make legally if nudes are in one forum or all forums? Either nudes are not allowed or they are. It would seem to be site-specific, not forum related. Just asking.

This happens a lot. I use closed-captioning for all British films and even many American ones. The Man in the Orange Shirt was inaudible at times.

I find it difficult to say this, but you might be right. Liberals did nothing when it was clear that many, if not most, voters were ignorant of the issues and not inclined to be educated. We should have pushed harder to educate them. Now we are faced with an increasingly popular Donald J. Trump getting to make his second appointment of a Supreme Court Justice, all the while he has been naming conservative judges for the lower courts. Despite widespread attack by the media, I think Trump is at the height of popularity with those who would consider him. I am not happy with this.

It's been 50 years since Matt Crowley's creation The Boys in The Band took to the stage. I saw the play and the movie, although much later. I was excited that the 50th Anniversary production would include the top gay actors of our time. I bought my ticket well in advance. But soon after performances began, I started hearing that the revival wasn't all that much, that the actors were miscast, that the play represented a bad time in gay history, that it had been defiled by combining the acts into one, and how could men be expected to sit for 110 minutes with no pee break? Last Saturday I received my answers. My seat was great, the show was wonderful, the actors were just fine, and the play duly represented a time in our past that wasn't that much different than our now. Specifically, was the play too bitchy? Anyone who posts on gay message boards would realize that we continue to act much as our gay predecessors did.\ We have bitchy moments and we have loving moments. Trying to meld the two continues, but it's not always easy. So, I am glad that I saw the play. Yes, I paid a bit much as the play was later discounted. But my seat was just great. As a side note, I took a chance that This Ain't No Disco would be worthwhile. Shortly after I paid $89 each for 2 tickets, it was on TDF for $33. Although it contained some wonderful voices and fascinating effects and lighting, I still don't know what it was about. Something having to do with Studio 54 or not.

This is probably a thread change, but maybe not. We have talked at length about young-looking guys here before. Many people look younger than their stated age, and some groups just have young look as a standard feature. When one looks on the internet for images on "twink porn" Google delivers pages of naked young guys. Pages of them. I hope that they all have 2257 statements, because if we cannot rely on Google to keep us away from underage images, well, the battle won't be won. The search results do seem to show underage guys, but one must consider that not everyone looks their age, and besides, this is Google here. Surely the masters of the internet are not feeding images of underage guys.I know that Tumblr is vigilant in keeping underage pics off of it.

Well then, we all come out winners when numazu starts reporting! I look forward to reading more, and I'll keep an eye out for a PM with a pic I will like...(hint, numazu, hint!) I'll be going to Brazil before I go to Bangkok again, so all of the info is quite helpful too.

OneFinger, thanks for sharing this information. I wish you well!

It looks to be a rather large house with an ample supply of water. It does appear, however, that a muscular, tattooed man thinks he belongs there too!

Numazu deserves praise if for only livening up boytoy.com as it hits the summer doldrums. I remember the days when Asians took a back seat, and it is thrilling to see Numazu take the lead on a hot topic here. Not only is that thrilling, but his tales are too. Now, if he would just show more than a tease of Gabriel!

The Daily Beast today highlights the campaign of Suraj Patel as he contests the Congressional seat held in New York by Carolyn Mahoney, who is a co-sponsor of SESTA and FOSTA. Sex workers rallied for Patel, creating a new feeling in his campaign. We can be surprised that more don't oppose this phone attempt to stop sex-trafficking, but grateful that some are shining a light on it. https://www.thedailybeast.com/a-new-york-political-hopefuls-sex-worker-fight?ref=home

RockHardNYC and AdamSmith are welcome! I hope that you like the novel.

If this is not trying to have it both ways, I don't know what is.

The novel Less, by handsome Andrew Sean Greer, is a humorous tale of a writer who travels the world in order to avoid having to go to his ex-boyfriend's wedding. I finished it last week and enjoyed it all the way. Author Greer is the subject of a profile in today's Washington Post, where he lists the novels that he liked most when coming out: https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/andrew-sean-greer-5-books-that-were-important-to-me-when-i-was-coming-out/2018/06/18/37db1df4-6d92-11e8-bd50-b80389a4e569_story.html?utm_term=.13885c19d46e The Author

Trump today said that many immigration judges are corrupt. I wonder how they will respond to that. It's not an easy job, and compared to what private lawyers make, it doesn't pay that well. So, I expect some resignations. Trump has now attacked law enforcement on every level.
