Yes. That's what the doctor said.

Having made contact with my regular Bangkok guy and ascertaining that he was still in Bangkok, I decided to fly up to meet him. We arranged to meet in Nature Boy/Golden Cock and to celebrate catching up after 3 years we started drinking beer. We had 3 beers each and although that probably doesn't sound a lot to many, if you are basically a non-drinker like me, it is. We returned to my hotel to catch up on lost time. After he left I really needed to piss after all that beer but was unable to do so. I stood waiting for about 10 minutes or so but even though I was busting, nothing happened. Not a drop. Not a dribble. It goes without saying that the urge to piss kept me up all night and it was unbearable. I thought there might be a blockage somewhere so decided to go to the hospital to see what was happening. As soon as I walked into the doctor's office he asked me if I'd been drinking. When I told him I had, and that I normally stuck to Coke No Sugar he told me that that was probably the cause. The bladder was too full to be emptied. So I had to take my pants of and lie down on a table. The solution? He stuck a catheter up my cock and into the bladder and began to empty it by pushing hard on my stomach. He was abley assisted by 2 female nurses and the whole procedure was witnessed by others waiting outside the curtained-off area as they didn't bother to close the curtains fully! Anyway, as uncomfortable as that procedure was, it solved the problem and I was on my way. So if you are not a big drinker and decide to over-indulge, you have been warned!

Just look for guys from Isaan. There's something in the water up there.

My friend and I will be here in Kanazawa. We'll just wander over to one of the temples for the traditional ringing of the bells to signal the new year. Then a bowl of noodles - another NY tradition and of to bed. No gay activity as my friend is straight. Not that he'd mind if I went out to look for some fun but there's no way I'd leave him by himself.

Some people are unable to appreciate that the Covid situation is fluid. The Japanese government had 2 competing stakeholders to deal with - the tourist industry begging for the country to reopen and the average citizen who didn't want foreigners anywhere near Japan. They decided to try to please both sides of the argument by first allowing guided tour groups, starting back in August. That didn't work out. They then spoke about possibly allowing individual tourists with strict anti-covid conditions to be allowed into the country. That's when I first made plans and started looking for airline tickets. When the country did finally open in October I followed the rules in place at that time. The rules will change again. Nothing in Japan regarding Covid stays the same forever. What is true today may not be true next week. You need to keep checking. It is important to keep an open mind.

I arrived in Tokyo on Dec 22 at Haneda Airport. Before arriving in Japan I had to fill out forms online and get 2 QR codes and upload my 3 vaccination Covid certificate. So there was no Covid test at the airport. The Japanese consulate at home told me I'd need to present a vaccination certificate.

I’m in Japan at the moment. There are lots of Chinese from Taiwan and lots of Russian tourists, too. To get into Japan you have to jump through quite a few hoops. You also need proof of 3 vaccinations and not all are recognised. I don't think the Chinese ones are on the list. If that is the case it will take a long time before any prospective tourist can come to Japan, as all 3 vaccinations must be completed. I think that takes about 9 months altogether. Surely Thailand has a list of recognised vaccinations. If the Chinese just have to pass a simple Covid test, that will spell disaster for Thailand and they'll be back to where they started 2 years ago, with no tourism industry to speak of. Surely the government is not that stupid. Then again,.........

Local guys turn up late in the afternoon, probably after work. They lie down on the sunbeds, have a swim and many then head to the sauna and jacuzzi area. During the day the place is rather quiet as most guests seem to head out into town. Hmmm....maybe it's time I made another visit to Phnom Pehn!

My friends and I often went to a public bath, even though we all had baths and showers at home. People go there to enjoy the social atmosphere. Many just go to look at naked guys, with the well-endowed ones walking around flaunting their wares. A public bath near a university is always a good bet. If you go to a public bath or a hot spring and want to go into the really hot pool, here's a little tip - slowly lower yourself into the water and then sit perfectly still. Don't move at all and very soon you will stop feeling the heat. The hot pool is especially good in winter because you come out pink and your body is thoroughly heated through. It means you can walk home in the cold and not feel a thing. I'm off to Japan next month with a friend and I can't wait to introduce him to the joys of the public bath.

King of College Japanese website warns punters that when it comes to anal, the guy may not be able to get it up. The English site just says : "The boy could be not as horny as you want because of his health or any other incidents, we would like your understanding." Be warned!

3P means a threesome Circle means ok, triangle means maybe and cross means no. There is no explanation on the site but I think B refers to the customer and what he can do to the guy.

As a general rule, if you have sex in the bar you have to pay the off fee as well as what you would normally tip the guy if he were to go to your room. If the 1000 baht was collected from you on behalf of the guy, chances are he did not get it all. Is the long-haired ladyboy mamasan still there? She's a very nasty piece of work. She'll screw you for every baht if you let her. On one occasion she refused to hand over my change, insisting that I give it to her as a tip. In the end she gave it to me and in return I gave her a tip - you try that again and that will be the last time you ever see me in your bar. The tall, short-hair effeminate mamasan is just as bad.

Watching that guy in the second photo seems to have really turned you on, Nirish!

I have never found the guys to be clingy or demanding. As Nikom says, guys will often recommend their friends - they seem quite willing to share the money around and help each other out. It's one of their many admirable qualities.

It's easy to get bored in Western Australia. You have to make your own fun here. That's one reason why we travel so much.

These days google maps, rather than printed maps, is a better way to get around. Unless you are familiar with Tokyo -or any other big city - it can be a total nightmare! If I remember correctly, I was using Google maps in Osaka and it was actually showing not just the map, but a photo of the street which constantly changed as I was walking along! I'm not sure the City Hotel Lonestar is still open. In any case, as Peter says, the rooms are really small. Also, when I stayed there, you could not bring guests back.

My favourite show was called "Keiji Koronbo". You know it better as "Columbo" starring Peter Falk.

Nice looking guys. Min would be mine, but Nu would do, too!

One of the most interesting forum posts in a long time, Ruthrieston.. Thank you.

That reminds me of another incident. I collect watches as a hobby , but I never take anything expensive with me when I travel to Thailand. However, on one occasion I was sitting on the plane and when I checked the time, realised that I'd forgotten to swap over to the cheap watch I bought at the Patpong night market. I went to a massage place near Tukom in Pattaya. I took off my watch, placed it on the side table in the room and had a shower. After the massage I got changed and left but within a minute realised I'd left my watch behind so went back to get it. Needless to say, it wasn't there. The masseur and the boss pretended to search for it but, surprise, surprise, it was nowhere to be found. The masseur had a small bag and I should have asked him let me search it but I thought that might be going a bit too far. I returned the next day and offered a substantial amount of money as a reward if it were found. I was told they'd have another look and to come back the next day. It hadn't been found. It had obviously been disposed of, probably for a few hundred baht. I blame myself rather than the masseur. I should have put the watch in the safe and gone out and bought a cheap one. And the temptation for the masseur was too great, I suppose. Lesson learnt.

I once had a scary encounter back in the days when Screwboy used to be in Soi Twilight. The guy I offed immediately hopped into bed and went to sleep! I woke him up and told him he was invited back to do something else but he simply refused. I lay next to him wondering what to do? When I told him we were wasting time and asked him to leave, he becane angry, got in my face and demanded payment. He was bigger and stronger than me and even though I probably could have taken care of myself as I have a background in martial arts, I wasn't going to risk it. I'm not sure how much I paid him but I was happy just to get him out of the room. But the next night I got my revenge! I went to Screwboy every night to off someone and I spent liberally on drinks for the boys. I was a valued customer. I walked past the bar and one of the waiters rushed out to greet me and lead me to my usual seat. I smiled and walked on by. He came chasing after me. I told him what had happened and that I wouldn't be coming back to the bar - I'd take my business elsewhere. He apologised profusely and asked me to come into the bar and identify the guy. He was sitting with another customer. When he saw me he smiled and acted as though nothing had happened. After pointing him out to the waiter I got up and left. The next night the waiter came up to me and told me the boy had been fired! I had the following experience on a trip to Bali back in 2014: Just had a very unfortunate situation with Eddy. He came around at 2 pm for sex and I paid him the usual $30. But he wanted an extra $10. I told him he would not be getting another rupiah more and that he was willing to accept the $30 I'd paid him the day before. And as he'd turned up again today, I was of the understanding that he knew I'd pay the same as yesterday. But he wouldn't take no for an answer and refused to leave the room. After about about 15 minutes of a stalemate I finally just walked out of the room and left him there. I went to the bank and came back and he was still there, refusing to go. I was about to ask reception to call the police but I had a better idea. I called the cleaning staff and told them to lock the room when they'd finished. I hid down by the pool and waited for him to finally leave. What's wrong with these guys? Have they no business sense at all? I told him in bed that I wanted him to come around every day and that I was considering staying an extra week. That's a guaranteed income for him every day. And it's the going rate. Of course, he'll probably turn up tomorrow but I'll have nothing more to do with him. What a loser!

I am not into rimming guys so I would never ask a guy to do it to me. However, if they decide to go for it while they're down there, I just lie there and enjoy it. It was only after many years of travel to Thailand that a guy finally rimmed me. It was my regular masseur at Narcissis massage in Pattaya. And it took many massages before he did it. The other guy was my big-cocked regular from Natureboy. Again, it didn't happen straight away. And the first night he rimmed me he also let me cum in his mouth. I warned him I was about to cum and he just kept working on me. From then on, every encounter with him involved both. They are the only 2 guys in Thailand who ever rimmed me. One more guy who was from Laos and worked at Golden Cock gave me a blowjob in the bar and was happy to let me cum in his mouth. It was an unexpected treat so I upped my tip considerably. I would not ask a guy to do something I would not do. But if they offer, I'll gratefully accept!

I've had lots of conversations over the years with bar boys, especially those working at the old Eros and BBB in Pattaya. Plus I've spoken to my 2 regular guys and various offs over many years. The consensus is : a) Japanese guys are the friendliest, pay the most and are just into vanilla sex b) Chinese pay well but are pushy and sometimes rude c) local Thais look down on them and do not pay well d) farang are fine but sometimes argue over money e) if they were interested in a relationship it would be with fellow Thais or Japanese. Farang culture is apparently too hard to get their head around. That's info from way more than 3 guys but at the end of the day, it's only their opinions. And as we know, opinions differ.

The late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, spoke German very well.

I had one of my guys come and live with me. Sex was on tap 24/7, although I didn't feel the need to take advantage of that. Even so, it was nice to know if was there if and when I wanted it.
