LOL, technically Israel is part of Asia, as is the rest of the Middle East.
The dividing line is the Red Sea.
Culturally & linguistically, most of the Mid-East and North Africa forms greater Arabia.
Racially, it's all pretty much a jumble.
But given the limited choices available to OZ to post this thread, Africa works as well as any and better than most.
Which is why I was too much the gentleman to point out his error yesterday.

LOL, vegetable chili?
I guess your Doctor talked you into that vegan diet.
Let us know how it works out.

Mustang Ranch in Nevada?

Sadly decades of self-medication for post traumatic stress disorder  led Jonny to a sad end.

When last heard of Jonny was seeking a form of redemption (and a steady pay check) by speaking  to young drug offenders on behalf of the DEA.

 
 
 

I think the one on the left is fairly cute, but then I'm not in the military, so I guess that's no problem.
More seriously, I'm getting too old for  all this shit. Even a couple of decades ago, who would have dreamed that a Chinese corporation would wind up owning the world's go-to gay hookup app? LOL, that there would even be such a thing as a gay hookup app? My brain just gets weirded out by this kind of stuff.

Oz preps butter for insertion in his mouth.

Luckyboys turned me away too. I thought it was a cinch that they would hire me to dance, what with my name and all but they said to wait. Someday they would open Luckygrandpas!

Being a TSA employee has got to be tough. It's high-stress and nobody wants the delay. I'm not surprised by the little abuses I see when I travel, gratuitous acts of rudeness that would cause customer service incidents in a private business. It seems like we're all hardened to the mutual unpleasantness, and some of the passengers deliberately taunt TSA agents. I have a little game I play when I'm in a long line. If there's a hot agent I make sure he sees me checking him out. Once at PHX I got my wish: a sturdy latino led me aside for a very thorough pat down. I really wanted to touch his sexy webbed belt, but I held out my hands as instructed. He took his time and we both smiled. Sometimes a bit of the naughty takes the edge off a hard day at work.

There is a Bar named Haspa that has rent boys and another bar nearby which name I can't remember, but I'm not sure if your hotel will allow them in. Have you explored Airbnb as an option instead? The guys there can take you to one of those pay per hour hotels but I imagine they are not nice. If you do take them back hide all your expensive laptops, phones, passports etc as the boys of Istanbul have sticky fingers. I learned the hardway with my iPad. They are gorgeous though! 
and yes there are may shady guys in the area who will try to stop you and offer you an amazing bar but just ignore them at all costs and head to Haspa, regular prices and I stayed in Istanbul for 6 month and was never ripped off or charged extra. 

Common scam in Istanbul, he will bring you to a bar and the bill will be exorbitant (2k+ Euro). Google scams in Istanbul, this will be near the top of your searches. 

I didn't know that a Chinese company owned Grindr lock, stock, and barrel! Now there's concern that China could learn a lot about US Government employees who use it.
Military personnel do too, so is it a problem?

I doubt that Trump is the adult in the room, but he is not as crazy as Bolton. Sadly, I do follow Bolton's crazier ideas and find him truly scary.
Bolton wants war, there should be no mistake about that.

OK, so this article in WaPo implies that Trump was actually telling the truth for once when he said last week that he was restraining Bolton's war lust.
I've long since gotten to the point that I just can't bring myself to pay a whole lot of attention to the Donald's antics, but, much as I want to ignore him, war with Iran is enough to catch my eye.
WaPo's sources basically say that the European's don't see much evidence that Iran is moving toward attacking U.S. assets (a really high risk stratagy for them) and our own military, intelligence and diplomatic people are divided in how certain intelligence should be interpeted.  Some Europeans hint they think Bolton and Pompeo are ginning up cover for a war of choice with Iran, not unlike Bolton did  with Bagdad.
So does anyone here follow this shit closely enough to give an informed opinion as to whether Bolton, Pompeo and company are actually crazed enough to want a "preventive war with Iran? Or is this just WaPo and some Europeans being paranoid?

Sounds like you may have missed the Priority feature that @TotallyOz installed in the last software upgrade.  It’s a pulldown menu that lets you determine your level of notification for new posts.  
The default is Level 1 and it’s pretty hit-or-miss.  I expect that’s what you got.
Level 2 makes sure you get a notification within 30 seconds of a new post showing up.
Level 3 adds a siren sound which comes through even if your computer or phone is switched off.
And Level 4 hooks you into the IPAWS Emergency Alert System and all your connected  phone, computer and TV devices will sound off within three seconds of a new post.  That’s the one I signed up for and I’m glad I did, as I was following one of @AdamSmith's poop threads at the time.
Even so, I’d be reluctant to sign up for Level 5.  

Mean bitches....

Just a small request, please. This discussion is very interesting, but I can understand the trends (eg anecdotal reports here) better if reference is made to when the BB offer or proposal from the Brasileiro is receptive anal (he bottoms), insertive anal (he tops), or perhaps reciprocal. 
————-
Most ‘garotos’ I select identify as ‘ativo’ exclusively but I am flexible about ‘versatil’ role. I always at some point put on a condom because “you never know” if they will accept receptive, as long as they do not have to explicitly verbally agree. It is fascinating to witness the reactions. Usually they freak out and I have to calm down the drama. What is particularly amusing is the idea that I could subdue and pin down any of these guys. I assume their vehement protest is related to my apparent bold assumption they “look” or “behave” gay enough to take it up the ass after all.
However, some will go down on it, with the condom on me, although that had not been part of the sealed deal.
A renowned exclusive top at 117 I have gone with for a few years recently shocked me by allowing me to frottage between his perfect butt cheeks with his face smooshed down on the mattress, with me wearing a condom. Sometimes edging a little beyond the forbidden is half the fun.

More on topic, I have had no BB offers among any of encounters now having reached 3 figures.
PrEP uptake that is governmentally financed is a huge hurdle among the “straight” working guys. They are required to go to the relevant health station and declare that they are either having sex with men or are doing commercial sex work presumably with male clientele. There is no face-saving box to tick off, ie, “just a gigolo”. 

But shouldn't you have known better being somebody that did watch your friends die from AIDS related complications?
If they are so eager to have you do that with them, assume you arent the only one....

This is happening in the states, too. When I'm topping, guys sometimes ask me to take off the condom. Yesterday a "straight" young man I met online said he wanted to feel me cum inside him... In the heat of the moment I gave him what he asked for, but he was taking a stupid risk for a reason I honestly don't understand. Maybe it's because these 20-somethings didn't watch half their friends sicken and die of AIDS back in the 90s.

Does it bother you when people use female words in regards to gay males? Afterall a gay male is not merely "a chick with a dick".
Yesterday morning I was waiting for my aide of the day to help me dress.  Another aide - a male - dropped by. He said to me "You're a princess".

O.K., I'll bite.... Who is John Smith?

Traveled to the US Embassy to get a new passport,  All in preparation to extend my retirement visa.  It was not a bad experience but I wanted to alert you to something you may already know.  When you fill out the form to renew the passport you must put your Thailand address and not your home address in the US.  Every person in line to renew their passport had to fill out a new form and go back to the end of the line.

I have no idea if he has joy, and neither do you.
