One of the great things about this board is occasionally getting to meet one of its members, esteemed or otherwise, on their own turf. ๐ While we were in the Denver area, my boyfriend, another friend who lives there, and I met up with @jimmie50 at a Mexican-themed restaurant, because apparently I donโt get enough of Mexico while actually living in Mexico. ๐ My impression of Jimmie50 was exactly what I expected. He seems like a truly nice, genuine guy, and I have no doubt heโll handle his time in Cambodia just fine, as long as he stays of prop planes and I'm really happy for him. We hung out for a couple of hours, and the time flew by. It felt less like meeting someone fro…

Hi everyone, I am writing to share some sad news. Our fellow member, Lucky, unexpectedly passed away on July 7, 2026, following a brief illness. On a personal note, Lucky and I were in touch for over two decades. When I hadn't heard from him or seen him post anything lately, I emailed him. When there was no reply, I expected the worst. His sister must have gotten access to his email account because she eventually replied and notified me of his passing. Believe it or not, despite everything he accomplished in his career, he always looked up to me. Keeping in contact with him for 20 years was a true privilege, and I am going to miss our whore stories exchanges. Many of you …

Although not a close friend, I was acquainted with Hunter Hardin/Lulu Lovebottom, and found out yesterday that he committed suicide after he apparently timed his announcement of giving up on life to pop up after it was too late, on Instagram. He was a talented burlesque dancer, and performed at one of my parties. I knew him mainly as the friend of some mutual friends. We would talk briefly at parties, but I never got to know him well. His post simply stated "Been hurt for the last time by someone I shared my heart with ๐". I could only wish to have a fraction of his talent, which I admired. Although we weren't close, I had nightmares about his death last night. How many o…

Duh. Silly title. Of course they wouldn't know it if they had dementia especially among certain nationalities that generally lack self-awareness. I recall reading somewhere that dementia is quite prevalent among older foreign residents in Thailand due to loneliness. They aren't alone because they have people around them but they're (emotionally) lonely. I don't know whether this finding was anecdotal or based on scientific research but going around places like Chiang Mai and Pattaya where there are a lot of older farang one gets the vibe that quite a few of them aren't "all there" (which may not necessarily be clinical dementia but some form of personality disorder or soc…

Iโm in Florida, USA, today and was out with friends for the evening. Returning home I tuned-in to cable network TCM โ Turner Classic Movies. Philadelphia (1993) was the feature movie. Iโve always had an emotional response watching the movie. At some points, tears โฆ always. Tonight was no different. There are those of us here, not all, who are old enough to have lived through the terror of HIV/AIDS crisis starting in the early-1980s. To say I was sexually active those years is an understatement. Somewhere in the range of 30 guys Iโd slept with didnโt survive, as far as I know. I survived, and Iโve often wondered: why was I spared? A generation of gay life was w…

https://www.yahoo.com/news/world/articles/thai-resort-cracks-down-sex-114159591.html Thai police have launched raids on sex workers in a resort city before the arrival of 5,000 American sailors who have spent nine months at sea. After a gruelling deployment that has been repeatedly extended, the USS Abraham Lincoln is set to dock late on Tuesday in Pattaya, a coastal city that has hosted US troops seeking rest and recreation since the Vietnam War. Before their arrival, however, Pattaya's police force has clamped down on the sex industry, with at least 40 people arrested in nightlife raids over the weekend. Anek Srathongyoo, the city'…

Noticed this article about the Netherlands removing their gold from the USA. https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/09/02/the-netherlands-just-pulled-86-4-tons-of-gold-out-of-the-u-s-to-improve-crisis-readiness-amid-global-tensions/ France did the same thing. When asked about it the Dutch did not mince words: we've seen what Trump did to the oval office...how much gold do you think he will need to do the same in the ballroom? We think it is better to keep OUR gold out of reach. ๐

I've followed this actor, on whom I have a little crush, for a while, and I got this rather cryptic e-mail from him: https://www.patreon.com/posts/help-154038202?post_id=154038202 "Writing to you all to let you know that due to the health of my father declining, my mother and stepfathers divorce causing massive issues in finances, my car breaking down on me, my immense debt due to supporting my family financially and finally, my rapidly declining health which has caused me to "pass out" randomly (guess I'm stressed?) ..

An acquaintance of mine told me he was going to do some erotic modeling with another model. I have no artistic talent whatsoever, and no interest in trying to develop a skill in which I know I'll never be good, but my eyes almost popped out of my head when I found out he was doing it with an actor whom I find insanely handsome, Jason Caceres. Each of the models made some rapid 5 minute poses (Jason semi-erect for a couple of them), and then the two engaged in some highly intimate poses, including one in which my friend swallowed Jason's huge cock in its entirety (not easy, and he had tears in his eyes while doing so), and one in which Jason put his hot dog in …
