The biggest diaspora of Tajik is in Afganistan and then in Uzbekistan. Lots of mixed guys in Uzbekistan because of intermarriage of parents. If you are in lets say Samarkand, its not always easy to differentiate only by looks. Gay life is really an underground affair, but apps help you out and discretion is required.

I was in Xian in March, very cold. Terracota Army site was half emty though, thats the benefit. Interestingly did not meet any Chinese guys, but one postgraduate student from Central-Africa, who was very thirsty for a European man. He did not like Chinese food nor Chinese guys. Our date was so good that I made an unplanned return trip from Chengdu to meet him again. In China these train jumps are fast and affordable! About Beijing - the first day I arrived I saw worst smog possible - the sun was just a small dot in the sky. I went to the Tiananmen Square and with all the revolution theme in gray sky it felt really depressing. The next day weather and pollution improved and the city became more friendly again. The Wall and Terracota Army/Necropolis are both unforgettable experiences.

Kaikan Onsen second trip was much more eventful. Saturday afternoon it was rather empty but from 6 pm onwards the twink army arrived. I noticed one hottie and soon found him in the cruising area, he was very happy to receive a bj, which made me happy too (not small size at all). Another hunk touched my balls in the locker room and I think he planned a 3some with his bottom friend, but we somehow miscommunicated. In the steam room I saw only some light touching. As in all saunas, initiatives are rewarded and I felt guys are quite friendly here. I think the real fun starts after 8 pm and maybe even at night (open until 8am). I had to leave around 8 pm to meet my holiday bf. I had a meal and two beers; at the check out the bill was 380 baht. I utilised the free entry ticket from the first visit. I like the format of that sauna. Nice pools, relax/bar area, clean and sufficient cruise area (not too small/ no endless expeditions).

Swedish gay guys who are earning money by camming or who enjoy live shows with the guys would disagree that Sweden or Stockholm is „most open…friendly“. Forum members should stay away not only from escorts but also from Chaturbate and similar when in Sweden or they may receive a call from the 👮. Contrary to many other places, Sweden enforces the law. So just enjoy coffee and bulle in one of the gay cafes. Sweden's parliament has passed a law banning the purchase of sexual performances for viewing online, including those on platforms like OnlyFans, marking a major update to the country’s sex purchase legislation. Under the new law, it is illegal to pay someone to perform a sexual act remotely – such as via live video – for the specific purpose of the act being viewed by the buyer. It also criminalises profiting from or promoting others who perform such acts for payment on demand. “This is a new form of sex purchase, and it’s high time we modernise the legislation to include digital platforms,” said Social Democrat MP Teresa Carvalho, after the bill was passed by a large majority in parliament. While viewing and paying for pre-recorded content remains legal, the law targets live, commissioned interactions, which lawmakers argue blur legal and ethical lines. Some OnlyFans creators have criticised the law, saying it harms their livelihoods. Carvalho responded that the law is not aimed at targeting adult content creators, but at protecting young people and vulnerable individuals. She pointed to documented links between online exploitation, human trafficking, drug abuse, and grooming into more severe forms of prostitution. The bill was proposed by the parliament's justice committee and received cross-party backing. With this legislation, Sweden positions itself at the forefront of regulating digital sex work, consistent with its broader zero-tolerance stance on prostitution. In Sweden, purchasing a sexual act is punishable by up to one year in prison, while pimping carries a maximum sentence of four years in prison. The new laws will take effect on 1 July. -

It’s actually worse than I thought - purchase of sex services is already criminalised, but now they want to criminalise purchase of digital sex content. https://www.eswalliance.org/press_release_sweden_adult_content -

I have heard that Sweden is rather tamed sex destination. Escorts, porn, all sex work is considered negative in the current political atmosphere. No sex-positivism. Appearantly no cruising clubs with gay porn on screens (like in Berlin). -

I have a monthly membership in SO Bangkok gym and spa; the infinity pool with a view to Lumpini park is used mostly for insta pics. It is impressive. Very cool infinity jacuzzi with a city view, I sit mostly there (alone🙂). Many gay visitors (some hot) but have not seen cruising. I have been there daytime, maybe after work? I will report if I see something. Honestly - the gym is rather poor, the spa area smallish and the place is more for relaxing. There are excellent seats in the pool under the bushes, which provide nice shade. Drinkies are served.

So here is the direct translation: „For the first time, more than 300,000 people marched through the Thai capital at the Bangkok Pride on Sunday - Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra was also in the middle of it.“
-
Pride was on a hot and sunny day. I was at the pool and delayed my participation due to the heat, so I thought I go around 4-5 pm. Then it started to rain, so I delayed my departure again. Then I decided to visit the final party at the Central World. Then some other things…and eventually I was maybe at 9 pm at the final concert which ended 10 pm. The band was fun and the crowd was thin. I had good intentions but life happens.. German media said pride had 300k participants which was all time highest. So all good.

This is a good example not to use sleeping pills when flying as in the case of emergency you are not able to leave the plane. Not all emergencies are „nobody survived“. Even when the passengers are de-boarded (change of aircraft, etc.), it would be uncomfortable. -

I met on muscled 25y myanmar MB guy. Great body to enjoy for fun, but all in all I was indifferent. It was fun like great meal but I forgot it quickly.

The Ideal GoGo Bar. What Would Be Your Recipe For Success?

A perfect gay bar-escort joint should copy straight brothel from Vienna called Babylon. I visited it with my clients 10+ years ago but I doubt too much has changed (its Vienna..). Beautiful bar or restaurant area with 20-30 very beautiful, nicely clothed escorts. Security is totally hidden, there was one madam, who elegantly coordinated things. Entry was I think 140 euros, unlimited drinks and food (limited menu). Sex with a room was 400 euros (1 hour). Girls were instructed not to be pushy, so it was very pleasant environment like premium bar lounge in a 5 star hotel with soothing music. The place was full of men who mostly enjoyed the company of ladies, not all came for sex. I felt sad I am not straight! It used to be also leading coke joint for people who like extra spice, but for me unnecessary. I remember we 3 had good time; since I was closeted with the clients, I chatted with my very nice girl all night. The total evening bill with coke, 3 girls, few hours in premium jacuzzi rooms was eventually ca 3500 euros. One client, who paid that, forgot his underwear to the room. Clients were very pleased. I doubt we have similar in Europe for gays but I suspect something like that could be in US. PS - alternative is skip the premium part and keep it casual. -
I totally forgot to add Bangkok to the post. I had no feeling I am not welcomed. I blocked one pool entrance for a while and received cute „sorry“ with a smile. Never been in Babylon, but I understand it was a huge complex. Kaikan has a capacity limit 150 (according to the web). As usual in the saunas, attractive look for attractive, however there are twinks (proof from grindr) who are totally mesmerised by older farang, so its a lucky game. I must correct that cruising space has two floors; and the upper floor is with open space with mats, chairs and additionally two spaces with fancy lights and large mirrors on the wall, so you could admire your hot (or not so hot) body😀. The staff was polite, google says the one barman is unpleasant. Yes, he is a bit strange and grumpy. Was working in a bar with a white freshly applied cream on his face. Like somebody had shot his load on him. Take it with a humor. Young guys can get quite stressed with this beauty race. I am in my early 50s with normal BMI and do some sports; I look for guys around 25-35, in grindr I get mostly hits from 20-23, not MBs (I ask confirmation) who clearly want to live out their fantasy. Many are good looking types, however I want a bit more maturity. I could fool with them in the sauna though. Anyhow, I like them all - slender bodies, attractive asses and beautiful hair😊. I stay in the service appartment near Asok. Have not registered my guy in the hotel but the staff seems to be ok with that. I also visited Patpong Hot Male bar, second floor balcony and looked at the 5-6 guys sitting around me. Nearly all attractive, oozing kind of a raw and fun sexuality. I totally get the appeal and was thinking about my choices. I like though my guy too much to change the current setup.
