There's probably not one of us who doesn't have instinctive mood killers when we're hooking up / having sex / being intimate. The article linked below references that, and within the article is a link to another social media discussion. Do you have mood killers? Gay guys asked their mood-killers – the responses are so valid

I heard rumors about a ransomeware attack. What happened, @TotallyOz? I am so glad we are back to normal! Congrats for your quick reaction and recovery!

AI lets one ask some interesting questions. My husband knows that I consider the story of Noah's ark to be one of the most stupid tall tales every told. Yet his parents and sister believe the story (although I doubt his brother, an intelligent veterinarian, believes the story). How many arks of the size described in the Bible would it take to hold two of every animal on Earth? To fit two of every …

I started reading David Archuleta's book Devout: Losing my Faith to Find Myself in the ER, where I accompanied my husband, who'd injured his finger. At the start of the book, Archuleta finds similarity in abandoning his religious faith to figuring out Santa's not real. I asked my husband at what age he found out, and how he felt about it. My husband said that he was relieved to find out Santa was a myth at the age of 8, because he knew boys who were not as good as he was, yet who got better gifts. He'd always wondered why these boys got better and more gifts than he did. I have no idea what it felt like, since I never believed in Santa (obviously a preposterous notion). S…

Just as US Representative Eric Swalwell was about to become a front-runner in his run for California governor, former staffers have accused him of sexual improprieties, basically destroying his campaign. The story in the San Francisco Chronicle hadn't even been published yet before staffers quit, and supporters bowed out. The ink had literally not even dried before the axe came down. Representative Eric Swalwell played a prominent role in both of Donald Trump’s impeachments, serving as a House Impeachment Manager for the second trial (2021) and a vocal investigator during the first (2019). As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, he focused on charging Trump with …

https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/technology/articles/born-soviet-union-grindr-ceo-100800191.html Born in Soviet Union, Grindr CEO was told he had two career options: Learn English or how to shoot a gun Most young people are told the path to prosperity is to study hard, maybe go to college, and get a grad job. Not Grindr CEO George Arison. Born in the 1980s Soviet Union, his father told him he had only two shots at success—one of which was learning to be proficient with a firearm. “My dad would come to say good night and spend 30 minutes talking to me about the fact that, in his view, the Soviet Union would collapse by the time I was 15, a…

I have paid little attention to the pundits on TV and elsewhere about the Middle East War, partly because I do not trust a word of what politicians and so-called decision makers in any country are saying. However, as I sometimes do, I pick up nuggets from youtube. Some admittedly is crap - and I have recently been guilty of repeating one crap entry, for which I again apologise. This morning, though, I listened to a video explanation by Canadian educator Jiang Xueqin (who is not actually a professor) of how he believes the war has to end. Hong Kong's South China Morning Post has dubbed him China's Nostradamus. I have never listened to any of his vdos before - and i ad…

Apparently there were "No More Kings" rallies in the UK. I wonder if anyone told them they lived in a monarchy. 😄 Similarly in the Kingdom of Canada:

https://en.mercopress.com/2024/01/03/royal-navy-sailor-fired-for-producing-porn-on-hms-prince-of-wales "A Royal Navy sailor, Zak Blackman, has been dismissed from service for creating and selling explicit content aboard the HMS Prince of Wales, Britain's largest warship, following a three-month deployment to the US. Zak, who rose to the rank of Naval Airman, reportedly earned £20,000 a month through OnlyFans by sharing X-rated pictures and videos. His side hustle came to an end when his content was discovered, leading to his dismissal for bringing the Navy into disrepute. In response to his firing, Zak expressed an unexpected sense of relief, stating, “I joined …

How valuable these polls are is always questionable. Yet Skytrax has gained in popularity if only because its voters are (mostly) real travellers and it has a huge respondent base. So here are its 2025 top 10. 1. Singapore Changi Airport 2. Doha Hamad International Airport 3. Tokyo Haneda Airport 4. Seoul Incheon International Airport 5. Tokyo Narita International Airport 6. Hong Kong International Airport 7. Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport 8. Rome Fiumicino Airport 9. Munich Airport 10. Zurich Airport Not really surprising that the top six are all in Asia. Nine are in Europe. The only one from North America is Vancou…

Thanks to the movie, we all know how Alan Turing suffered and then took his own life after admitting he was homosexual. And thanks to years of campaigning, he was been given one of the extremely rare official royal pardons in 2023. He is admired today for his code-breaking skills which helped shorten WWII. His photo adorns the back of the UK's £50 notes. In today's Guardian/Observer, there is another somewhat similar, but very different, historical case of a civil servant being hounded to death. But this case remains an open sore. Sir Roger Casement was knighted by the King for distinguished Imperial Service in 1911. As was discovered in his diaries after his capture…

For those of you that celebrate EASTER........Happy Easter, you deserve a TREAT ! Check out what he has in his "basket"

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will have his signature on US currency along with that of the president. Bessent would be the first openly gay man to sign the currency. So far, not a whimper from MAGA.

I was looking up a show recommended by an email of a musical I like, Flower Drum Song. In looking up the cast, one cast member immediately caught my eye: Joven Calloway, a member of Actors' Equity Association. I looked him up on Google Images to see if he had at least shirtless photo to which I could jack off. Boy, did I hit the jackpot! Not only does his Facebook account have lots of shirtless pictures, but it also includes links to multiple adult websites such as OF, JFF, and Sean Cody! In all of my horny years of looking up cast members in mainstream shows, I can't recall getting such a treasure trove! Do you every look up cast members for shirtless photos? Have you ev…

Has anything changed the way you are flying nowadays compared to how you used to? Before Covid, flying was nicely priced and it was never hard to find business class trips from Europe to Asia/Latin America. During COVID the deals got even better. €1200/1300 hundred from Amsterdam to Medellín and Amsterdam to Bangkok €1400/1500. Well, that has clearly changed and a descend business class seat will set you back €2k or more. I have paid more than that in exceptional cases but normally it's just hard to justify. On my last flight from Bangkok to Amsterdam, I went with Etihad and had a 12 hour long layover in Abu Dhabi. I had a room booked in the Premiere hotel just…

I signed up for an on-line account at a well known gay porn Website. The company and their studio is based in Las Vegas. Not long after, my credit card information was used at various stores around Las Vegas. I suspect the theft is related to that Website. I contacted the Website. They replied, but were not helpful. I canceled the card and did not renew the Website account. I expect a bad employee was responsible, but that is just my guess. I did not make a police report. Sometimes I consider signing up again. The guys are premier. Very hot. However, I will always have doubts about that Website. What are your opinions? Should I trust th…

Where else but in the USA would anyone consider queuing for hundreds of meters underground before getting up to second level and another few hundred meters queue. Then another level. By the time this level is reached there is a notice saying approximate waiting time will be a further 250 minutes. Madness! https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/23/us/video/houston-airport-security-checkpoint-lines-vrtc-digvid

SInce @Enchanted_Elixir is determined to continue this argument and since so few readers based in Thailand had obviously read the original posts, let's recall precisely what was written - using what he calls the "shocking" Search Engine, which is anything but. The relevant thread is The Dangers of Columbia which was started on May 25 2025 by @neygar. The basis of the thread was Dangers and related specifically to sexual adventures.

Dolores Huerta, a 96 year-old labor activist who worked with the more famous labor activist César Chavez, has waited until 33 years after his death to accuse the decedent of raping her 60 years ago. Supposedly, one of the incidents (1966) was forcible rape in the back of Chavez's car. She also described an earlier encounter in August 1960 in which "she felt pressured to have sex with him in a hotel room during a work trip in San Juan Capistrano". Apparently both of these trysts resulted in childbirth, and both were adopted and not made aware of the alleged circumstances of their conception until now. Almost overnight, municipalities and other organizations have remo…

There are more than a few times when one poster will disagree with another. That is the nature of a board like Gay Guides Thailand and it tends to keep a discussion lively. Occasionally there are times when things can get heated and one man's disagreement becomes somewhat more serious. Reading back over the forums on the flight to Bangkok this afternoon, i was reminded of one recent occasion where I incurred the wrath of another. As i had just returned from a meal with friends and was leaving early the next morning for Taipei, in keeping with board guidelines I wrote an apology. Frankly, I did not believe one should have been made for I knew I was the injured party. On th…

There's this extremely handsome 36 year-old actor I follow on social media, Jason Caceres, who recently put out a blurb on Facebook. In the blurb, he describes firing his manager when she suggested he take "accent reduction" lessons to get the "gay" out of his voice, so that he could have more acting opportunities. His speech must be described as very gay, one must admit. That being said, the last movie I saw, Crime 101, starred Chris Hemsworth, an Australian, and Barry Keoghan, an Irishman. They play American characters, so they've obviously been trained not to speak with Aussie or Irish accents. I doubt they're ashamed of the way they normally speak, but rather rea…

A member of the Finland Parliament, Paivi Rasanen, has several times over the last two decdes claimed that homosexuality is a "developmental disorder". Finally taken to court, the Supreme Court ruled that she was incorrect and fined her. Ms. Rasanen was aided in her defence, should we be surprised, by an American organisation - the US-based conservative legal advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom, which has tried to use her case as an example of censorship in Europe. The group has ramped up its global spending on litigation and other campaigns after successfully overturning Roe v Wade, which protected the right to abortion, in the US. Having made a sha…

I think I found the ideal entertainment for my birthday party on the website of sexy Irish Olympian Gold Medalist Rhys McClenaghan. It is option 3 in his Speaking Engagements page... He is apparently on a mission to bring his sexy twinky/twunky body to people (sorry...to show people how "hard work can really get you the success you want") https://www.rhysmcc.com/speaking

The K-Pop industry is so isolated and very much a closed community. In the last couple of years it has been known, very sadly, for the suicides of a few top young stars. Most suspect that a few or more of the boys in the boy bands must be gay, but maybe that was just a fantasy. Now one of its stars has openly come out as gay. Halfway through his band's last concert in Los Angeles in April, the end of a major world tour, 24-year old singer Bain of the group Just B told thousands of fans, "Before I start the next song, I want to share something with you guys. I'm proud to be part of the LGBTQ community." It was the most public outing of any K-Pop star. He told the…
