>Resorts can be almost as dreadful as cruises. I really love cruises. I have a great time on them. My problem is that the access to the Internet is so expensive that I cannot enjoy myself. A few years back, I took a few NYC boys on a cruise to the Caribbean. We had a blast. The cruise was a great bargain. Our liquor tab at the end was 5 times the cost of the cruise. That speaks wonders for the bargain (or about the guys I was traveling with.) >(Also, nice nuance in your comment on RH. "The satirist >shoots to kill while the humorist brings his prey back alive >and eventually releases him again for another chance." -- >Peter de Vries) LOL I am not part of the NRA and have no guns in my current residence.

Welcome to the boards Icon. I spoke to many here about her. The news about this was shot into the media spotlight. The one thing that most have said is that the government is going to tighten up on the laws for hiring teachers. I think this is a very good thing. But, I thought that since most of the schools that hire teachers require a working visa that they would at least do a check on their employees. I spoke to several teachers here and they said that was not true if the teacher is being hired to teach English. Anyway, I am not sure this is the guy, but perhaps it will bring attention back to the case and help get it solved.

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew. -- William Shakespeare Last night I was sitting having dinner with a friend in Thailand. I had a guy from Laos that I have known for a long time with me. He is 23 years old and has traveled with me in the past. He often says he is my mamasan instead of my boyfriend. I still love to play with him but he knows that my attention drifts quickly. As we were having dinner, in front of the restaurant walked a beauty like I have not seen in ages. My eyes wandered and the conversation at the table became only a whisper in my mind. He noticed that I was staring at him and he decided to smile. I returned that smile with an even larger one and a wink. He returned the wink with a stop in his tracks, turn around and come to say hello to me. As he walked near, his smile increased. The eyes never left mine. We spoke. Well, not really spoke too well but we tried to communicate. He has just come to my city that day. He was walking into the area to see what was there. He said to my friend, "I think I have found what I was looking for." We invited him to eat with us and go out on the town. He did. He then returned to my house for a late night swim and a Heineken in the moonlight. I know not the same as Champaign but that is all I had. The sex was simply amazing. I was almost taken to a place I had not been in years. There was no penetration and it was mostly sweet kisses and hard hands. Sugar mixed with spice always feels right. :9 :9 We showered and I gave him my number. I went to sleep more content than in years. I wondered if he would ever call. I wondered if I would get to see him again. I wondered if he was the one meant to be the one. I have wondered these things in the past. Many come true and many don't. But, the excitement of it all is what makes the Land of Smiles so amazing!

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - An Indian businessman born with two penises wants one of them removed surgically as he wants to marry and lead a normal sexual life, a newspaper report said Saturday. The 24-year-old man from the northern state of Uttar Pradesh admitted himself to a New Delhi hospital this week with an extremely rare medical condition called penile duplication or diphallus, the Times of India said. "Two fully functional penes is unheard of even in medical literature. In the more common form of diphallus, one organ is rudimentary," the newspaper quoted a surgeon as saying. The surgery was expected to be challenging as both organs were well-formed and full blood supply to the retained penis had to be ensured to allow it to function normally, he added. The newspaper did not disclose the identity of the man or the hospital to protect the patient's privacy. There are about 100 such reported cases of diphallus around the world and it is known to occur among one in 5.5 million men, the newspaper said. It is caused by the failure of the mesodermal bands in the embryo to fuse properly. The mesodermal bands are one of three primary layers of the embryo from which several body parts are formed. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060819/od_nm/india_operation_dc

Actually, I started that sentence with APARENTLY. apparently - as far as one knows or can see

>Envy Rockhard for his Starwood vacation? I think not. Perhaps the vacation was a much needed rest. Or, perhaps he has a large work product (project) that he needed to take care of. Though, knowing his moniker, he may just be part of the next season of The Apprentice. I would envy him if he were on an African Safari (a dream for me). But, I have never been much of a resort kind of guy.

Thank you for the post bkkguy! I don't think most posters should impress anyone. It is an online community and we are fairly new. First impressions are good but to impress me, you have to be very consistent and reliable. I have a few that impress me: gaybutton, hedda and those that raise the bar to a different level of communication. I have some people that post sometimes but that I know personally that impress me: gaypattayan, rainwalker, sunny etc. I don't think the object of many posters is to impress someone. Most come for the information and the free flow of that information. When I find out about a new bar or a new event I share it with others. I wish all would do the same. That would make this board an amazingly informative place. As for your second comment: In all instances, Gay Thailand management shall be the final arbiter of what constitutes egregiously abusive conduct or when a member has crossed the line of

"Those who'll play with cats must expect to be scratched." --Cervantes Not wanting a scratching myself, but the feud between posters from other boards should be left on the other board. We are not interested in the pissing contests and clawing here. While you may say that I am defending LMTU because I personally know him and like him, I am not defending him for that reason. He has been told countless times that his writing style is not up to graduate level marks. His speech shows that he is intelligent. Apparently, he does not care about his writing style or he just does this to piss you off and he posts other thoughts under a different moniker. In any case, since the feud with the Hatfields and the McCoys was left to a time past and a land far way, can you two do the same? Please. As for me, I will start removing nasty comments from all posters. Read the Message Center policies below. They will be enforced. Par of these policies state: "Code of Conduct: Gay Thailand membership is restricted to Adults Only. That Message Center members shall be expected to behave as adults is not an undue burden. The expected conduct standard for the Gay Thailand forums is the same as that observed everyday in society by adults in our neighborhoods, towns, and cities. It is based on straightforward mature behavior, civility and courtesy that you find in a neighborhood Pub or Tavern where neighbors and acquaintances joined by occasional strangers come together to socialize in good temper, to share conversation, and to hoist, in moderation, a glass of favorite beer or wine or a cup of coffee or tea. These forums are NOT presented for abusive arguing and name calling, score settling, thread stalking, or general cyberspace blood sport for the chronically bored. As in any Pub or Tavern, an egregiously abusive or chronically problematic customer (member) shall be banned from further post participation. In all instances, Gay Thailand management shall be the final arbiter of what constitutes egregiously abusive conduct or when a member has crossed the line of

>I found it a bit ironic that an entire >thread could disappear, be edited or deleted and return. Please don't find it ironic. I took the thread down as I knew a post was not acceptable and I wanted to ask TY and Barry what to do with it. We discussed it, deleted the one post and returned the thread. It is really that simple. It may have been the first time this was done here but it won't be the last. We are trying to create a community where people feel free to post and to interact. We are not now nor will be ever be interested in a place where bullies rule, meanness prevails and vendettas emerge. If that is what one is looking for, they have come to the wrong place. This is a gentlemen's club and the rules are posted very clearly with a link on every page of the site.

We have locked this thread. It was going on a fast downhill sloop. When a moderator sees a thread that is not acceptable, the policy is to move the thread to the moderator's area for discussion. We then decide what we will do with the thread. In this case, we are restoring the thread minus one comment. The thread is now locked. Please see Tampa Yankee's post about What Happens in Vegas stays in Vegas as well as our Message Center Policy at the bottom of every page of the site. http://www.maleescortreview.com/index.php?...e_center_policy Thanks for your cooperation gentlemen!

I agree that there are several problems to it. We were thinking of only allowing registered users who are logged in to vote. Perhaps, this will help a bit more. Or, are you suggesting a more detailed approach?

Wonderful post. I am living life now on your adventures. Thank you for sharing! Can you give a bit more detail when you have time? Enjoy Sao Paulo. Have Danilo take you to the Italian place he took me to last time I was there. It was wonderful! Can't wait to hear more! Oz

>He made derogatory comments about OZ on HB's site simply >because he didn't agree with him. As you point out he made a >demand for Barry to resign as moderator at HB's forum. I remember when my grandfather died. I come from a very close family. We all got along and had a great time with each other. Then, the death. The hurt feelings. The anger. The sadness. Things were said and done that would never have been imagined before. The will left things even worst off for all concerned. There was big money involved. (For us poor SWTPT) The family split. Many did not talk to others for months, and then years. This was over 22 years ago. I still have not seen part of my family in over 20 years. All of this over a few thousand dollars. When things like death occur, you say and do things you normally would not do. While Hoo was not family to all, he was like family to all the frequented his board. After his death, things were said and done that were not nice. As adults, it is time to move forward. I have no anger at all toward Lucky or BigGuy or anyone else that made comments that were not nice. The past is behind us. LEAVE it there! Move on. Perhaps, you all will find a way to have a better time with life.

Chance encounters are always the best! Yesterday, I arrived in Pattaya for a holiday. I got there and there were really one 2 guys I was looking forward to seeing. I did not arrive to my residence until 3am. I was tired and drained. When I woke up I wandered to the best Thai Restaurant that I enjoy eating at on a regular basis, Salt and Pepper. I also went to a shop by the restaurant to get a large order of water bottles and Soda as they deliver and it saves money to buy from that distribution center. As I was checking out, one of the boys I wanted to see walked by. I was surprised to see him so early. He spent the afternoon with me and I had a great time with him. Last night, I met friends in Sunee and walked around. The only other guy I wanted to see was not at his bar and I told the Mamasan I was looking for him should he ever show in the next week while I am on holiday. I went to Crazy Dragon for a drink. The place is popping with boys. I had a great time and was amazed at the number of guys working there. After about 20 min, the Mamasan from the other bar walked in with the guy I was looking for. I was so happy to see him and it was very nice for the Mamaan to walk into another bar with a boy that no longer worked. She had called his brother and found him and brought him to me. Again, my night was made. I went to bed with a HUGE smile on my face. Just another reason they call this the Land of Smiles!

Thanks for the article. I appreciate it. I have been a collector of Buddha for 3 years now and have built up a nice collection. I lend many of them to Libraries and schools for exhibit and education purposes. I was told that the above law relates to Thai Buddha's. If they come from outside of Thailand, the law is different. There are several well-known shops I but at in Chiang Mai and they come with authenticity documents and I have had several shipped over to my home and never had problem with them. I find many of them the most beautiful objects and I have learned a great deal about the religion by talking to the antiques dealers. Does anyone know of some really trustworthy antiques dealers in Pattaya? Thanks GayButton for the article.

>He is drawn to quality. By his own account! My goodness. You whacked the nail on the head for me. Thank you for pointing out the obvious. It is so transparent to me now. >(So much for my resolve to let Rock alone. Start again!) :+ I have always been an admirer of Rock. I grew up with Southern Rock and Lynard Skynard. I finally grew into Heavy Metal and Kiss. Now, I am much cozier with 50 Cents. The one thing they all have in common, Rock is normally best played thunderously loud and the words oblivious to the spectators. See what I mean?

LOL. Well, I am just so happy that he spends so much time here! It makes me happy to know he loves reading all the threads. We do appreciate his support.

>I'll explain it all to you OZ right after you decide on your >next destination. :+ Now, that is a conundrum.

>Agreed Deej. The COI is always a concern. Also this >situation has been discussed before at M4M and as I recall if >an escort was a paying client hiring another escort it was >accepted. If the escort reviewer was playing on someone >else's dime, it wasn't. OK Barry. Ok Deej. I am a bit slow. All these letters are getting confusing for me. COI, M4M, ISTR, MC. Perhaps I need a new stickie for my computer to keep track of it all. It took me a week to find out what ROFL and TIT stands for.

>There isn't a "win-win" situation here. Someone will >always squeal. Deej, You are right. It is not a win-win situation. For me, a win-win situation is choosing between Taboo in Montreal and Future Boys in Bangkok. Now, that is a win-win situation.

>Its rare that an >escort would actually hire another escort. I don't really think this is the case. When I ran an escort agency many moons ago, I told all my guys to hire at least once. That way, they would know what it is like to be on the other end of the stick. I know many escorts who hire and I also have a very good friend in NYC who has escorted for MANY years. He is also a well-known porn star. He hires weekly. He is in great shape and sexy. He says it is a lot easier to hire than to go to a bar. I know of escorts who are hired by 18 year olds. It is not often, but it does happen. Again, I had a friend in NYC who one of his regulars was an NYU student. He went to the boy's dorm room oten. While, I don't think all escort hire. I do think it is a good idea for them to try it at least once.

>to become a contributing member of this community but I guess >it's been decided here that escorts aren't eligible to submit >reviews > >Oh well. You can contribue in many ways Scott. May I ask, how many reviews did you submit at M4M?

Scott, Thanks for the post. We welcome you and hope you post more often. You are young. We learn as life ages us. I wish I knew what I know now when I was your age. If all my comments I made when I was your age were taken as law and unchangeable, I would not have survived. When you put yourself in the spotlight, many will talk. Many will say good things and many will say horrible things. It is part of being in the limelight. Don't let anything anyone says get you down. Do your job well. Life your life to your own happiness and don't worry about the rest. I go to bed each night with a smile on my face. I love my life and I have great fun every day. If I let the RockHard’s of the world get me down, I would be throwing a pity party often. I don’t. Why? He is insignificant to my life or me. I actually find him (or her) amusing in the way he plays his games with the minds of others. My feelings are not hurt with what he or others say. Many need to put others down to feel better themselves. Many need to make others appear inferior. It has always been that way and always will. You are intelligent and sexy. Many will envy you. Many will hate you. But, don’t let Rico or Rick or Roger Rabbit or anyone get to you. Read the words; shake your head and then move on. Not easy to do, but possible. ? Hugs, Oz

LOL I have been accused of being a conspiracy theorist in the last week. So, I have decided to take the Oliver Stone approach. Your post gave me another chance for enlightenment. You seem to have a grasp on Rockhard. I don't think he is a new poster. It seems to me that he has been around for a while. What other characters does he play?
