Plans have changed. Only two quick night in Kuala Lumpur before traveling to Cambodia. 

That is the question.   And here is a rant. We better all pray that some Democrat running for President can answer that question in 2028 in a way that 50.1 % or more of voters like.  Assuming we get to 2028, with this reckless maniac Trump in control. I think the handwriting is on the wall that the reckless warmonger will get his ass kicked at the polls in 2026.  And Democrats will do well just because they are not Republicans.  The question is whether Democrats can do well because they are Democrats.  That's on us, not Trump.   Democrats Need to Face Why Trump Won That's a very long and data-filled (aka boring) interview from about a year ago I stumbled on last night and watched.  David Shor is the wunderkind who ran afoul of some woke Democrats by saying things they didn't want to hear.  I guess the good news is after Trump winning again many more Democrats are willing to look at who WE are.  And why Trump looked better to so many Americans. The fact that you have two very smart and liberal college educated men, one of whom works for the New York Times, discussing this problem is actually part of the problem.  Young men watching Tik Tok have no clue who Ezra Klein or David Shor are.  And they could care less. They do care about inflation.  And they do not want to die in a war.  Many of them regret voting for Trump.  That is a start. The single most stunning fact Shor has is that if everyone had voted in 2024, Trump would have won the popular vote by 5 % or so.  Four years earlier, if everyone had voted, Biden would have won in 2020 by a bigger margin.  So it was not about blind loyalty to Trump.  It was about high prices, and endless wars, and feeling like the system is broken. In 2024 Trump won 18 year old men.  He even won 18 year old men OF COLOR, Shor says.  So it is hard to argue non-White young men wanted a racist President.  Something else was going on.  They were pissed, and they didn't like higher prices.  They want good paying jobs and affordable rent or mortgages.  And call me old.  But it is a problem that they get their news from Tik Tok.  Trump knew that and played to it.  Selling a brand and being a carnival barker - and liar - is in his skill set. This is why I am watching Gavin Newsom and hoping he, among others,  can figure it out.  Newsom has a podcast.  He invites Charlie Kirk and Scott Galloway on and tries to figure out: what are these guys saying to young men that they find appealing?  How can Democrats speak to young men, so they don't line up behind JD Vance in 2028?  That is a start, and a vert smart thing to do.  Democrats and Independents who don't like Trump should be asking ourselves: who are we?  What do we stand for that people care deeply about?

They have suspended speakers that point onto the street, hard to say what inside was like. Their opening number involved the dancers on the street, not inside. The volume most likely to grab everyone's attention. Moved down to CockA2 where you could hold a conversation. 

Perhaps a vibrator function?

I’ve been in Tokyo for the past week and heading to Nagoya on Monday for about 3 weeks. I’ve been having fun and thought I’d report on a massage place I found along with a few other adventures. Grindr has been pretty steady, but the older I get, the pickier I get, so I haven’t really been interested in most of the guys who have contacted me. A few I was interested in turned out to be flakes (one I remember from my last trip who I blocked - he pulled the old “I was on a work call” bit that he pulled on me last year, so I blocked him again). I did meet one really hot Japanese guy who I think is my neighbor. He came by for a blow job and had some lovely sensitive nipples and a really sporty body. And another hot young Chinese guy who chatted with me last year came over for some fun. Today I went to the sauna - 24 Kaikan. I was probably too early, and also, I have gotten really picky in my old age. I only saw a few guys I was interested in and for some reason was really turned off by the place. The steam room smelled moldy, the place seemed shabby and the sauna had a very unpleasant smell, I think from guys fucking in it. I saw one hot guy who looked like he had a big dick and seemed like he might be Thai - very handsome, really nice body and always surrounded by a group of guys groping him. I didn’t even bother to approach him because I’m just not into the feeding frenzy that happens around hot guys. I eventually stood in the shower area in a spot where I could observe but wasn’t in the flow of traffic. This hot guys approached me and touched my nipples. I reached down and his dick was hard, and huge. No wonder he always had a group of guys around him. I thought he would just play with me for a bit and then leave. I tried to get him to go into a shower stall, but he wanted to stay out in the open, so I got down on my knees and started sucking him. His dick was really thick, but not too big that I couldn’t take it all in my mouth. A few other guys came over to play, one tried to fuck him, but his ass was really tight. Long story short, he eventually came in my mouth. I didn’t stay much longer after that. it didn’t really look like I was going to top that experience. And now, the massage. I thought I’d try to see if I could find a decent male/male massage so I asked Chat GPT. I got a list of about 5 possibilities and one of them was very near where I am staying in Shinjuku. Silom Thai Massage. From the website, it sounded like they provided happy ending massage, but also seemed legit. I was hoping I could get a massage like what I used to get at the Ambassador Hotel in Bangkok in the 90s - really good, professional oil massage where he’d gently tease me until he got me hard, and then lean over and ask if I wanted extra. The shop is right outside of ni-chome, literally a block from the sauna. They had two massage rooms. I booked a 90-minute massage with Kosuke. The massage was pretty good. It was a Thai oil massage. None of the stretching like in regular Thai massage, but palming and working pressure points. The room was comfortable and it was done on a mat on the floor. Every now and then he’d ask if it was okay, which started to get annoying. He had me turn over, and as he spread my legs and wrapped them around his waist, he asked about the war in Iran. He wanted to make sure I was okay. Not the best topic for a massage session. I was hoping he’d continue with the massage, but instead, he oiled up my dick and started jerking me off. He asked if I wanted to touch him. Personally, I didn’t find him that attractive (because remember I am very picky in my old age), but I said okay. He actually had a nice body. He told me I could touch his cock. It was a decent size and he started to get hard. I eventually came and that was it. He laid down next to me and put his head on my chest. I’d give it a 7 out of 10. I’ve had worse. The massage itself was decent, but I am spoiled by the guys at the Ambassador. It was 15,000 yen. After I got dressed, we went out to the reception. He got a bronze plate and held it in his hands for the payment. He said “please give me…” and I didn’t catch what he said. I asked him to repeat but he didn’t. I put the 15,000 yen in the plate. He didn’t seem happy.  At some point during our final conversation he told me he was half Japanese and half Thai. He grew up in Thailand. I think he may have said “please give me tip” and I think he was disappointed that I didn’t. Oh well, we’re in Japan. We don’t tip. I personally think 15,000 yen was more than enough. If you are looking for a decent male/male massage with a happy ending, check it out. They have other guys available. I booked last minute, and he was the only one available. He told me he was the manager. Not bad for my first week, for a picky 66-year old guy.  Not sure what Nagoya will be like. Looks like Dojo-group has some guys available there if I don’t meet anyone on Grindr. I don’t know about saunas, but I’m not expecting much. I will be doing a 33-temple pilgrimage there, so maybe sex won’t be my number one priority. But who knows, I may be pleasantly suprised. Link for Silom Massage https://www.silom.jp/en
