  1. Not particularly, but I have to wonder about Molly factors among some here. I just don’t know how often the idea of beauty being in the eye of the beholder needs to be repeated and that for every pan a lid fits. No, I take that back. Maybe once or twice, as it’s a solid axiom. But it gets tired when every time somebody expresses what they like somebody has to subsequently add it. It’s already embedded. If somebody were to share that they never heard of the concept that might be a different matter. Now, your comment is unique so it passes muster, may even also reach the level of an interminable loop. Reaching for communal influencer status could use some creativity and your efforts are appreciated. Perhaps it’s on me. Over a 5 year chat forum period one will naturally witness a set of ideas endlessly repeated as if the insight were Eureka-grade. In the past few minutes it’s that Brazil has higher levels of crime, loop loop loop loop, as if influence hunger masquerading as altruistic warning bells could only be satiated by the whole membership overtly capitulating to the recommendation that Brazil be severed as a desirable option.

    It took 5 years (2017-2022) for the Public Health Service (SUS) to adjust governance in such as way as to remove the stigmatizing eligibility requirement of declaring homosexual activity or commercial sex work status for PrEP access. The inflexibility may have been partly due to the associated research agenda geared to uptake surveillance of identified high risk groups. However, this inappropriately trumped rightful ‘do no harm’ ideology in terms of supporting self-determination among, for example, garotos that would have no problem identifying their behavioural risks and should have had the option to present their case in a more circumspect way, without needing to check a specific box. It was not a funding issue because engaging the target population to explore and seek PrEP had consistently fallen short. The approach had obviously fuelled the narrative regarding HIV as a gay disease as well. Also ran was loss viz ability to track the uptake ratios comparing a broader span of PrEP-seeking categories. Additionally, those outside of the restricted categories that might not have been ‘ideal’ PrEP candidates may have accessed better HIV info through the process of the PrEP-seeking itself, prevention knowledge being one of the biggest correlates of infection incidence.
  3. I thought one of the apps itself was, Clarice, if not an hommage.
  4. A plague on both houses, Montague and McDonalds!

    Some, likely at least 1 in 5, already have HIV so the question is moot. If you ask about PrEP in a binary fashion they may be pushed into a corner regarding response. If you do inquire at point of intimacy you can consider the implementation of photos depicting uptake method along with the questions. You can state that you value the idea of somebody taking PrEP (profilaxia pré-exposição do HIV) and that you are curious about which method is preferred. You may discern how much it is relatable to him. That is more open-ended. A large proportion of those at risk for infection are not taking PrEP, or started and stopped, or are not consistently adherent. General population uptake in the appended figure is low; it is inconceivable that such a small fraction are MSM with high level candidacy. Syphilis was not Sisyphus struggling up the mountain at the orgy recently described.
  6. So it’s true you run an espionage ring from your Foodland booth. Slow Whoreses, a possible Gay Olddaddy recruit standing in for agent Gary Oldman.
  7. Or the pics are a physique model Xmas shopping in Seattle at the time, you call him on it, explain your empathy around the complexity of advertising, agree to a vid chat in the app, and there is still a discrepancy between the shadowy sorta hunky looking chap in the chat and what steps off the Grab bike. Wait, can I solicit the Grab driver?
  8. What difference does it make? If simple vetting related to the examples above is not carried out suckers can always materialize. Scammers exist insofar as scammees do and the latter is a larger pool, like shooting fish in a barrel or sperm in a quivering yearning prostate. Anybody not diligently recording the relevant material and taking precautions that prevent some level of victimization, or worse, from running afoul of the law, is but naïve and has only self to blame. Of course not all risk avoidance, apart from the letdown of a desire mismatch, is guaranteed at the face-to-face stage, but preliminary red flags always show the face of the catfish artfully the one holding out the bait. Clientele also often behave as battlefield-grade belligerents that promote the very dynamics they criticize. Generally the cue prompts to bail are at your fingertips …
  9. Benefit of doubt: I assume and hope not an offensive ‘*******hawk’ reference and that I read too much into it because of the hustle theme and the repeated liberal use of “boys” (semantically not so offputting), as no place for it. Let’s say it’s innocently about the Colonel’s deep fryer and small standard deviation surrounding an age mean of 36.
  10. Or McDonald’s in riverside Robinson Mall, or Aksorn-OriginalStore, depending on kneeling prayer yield at Assumption. Been there, done them.
  11. The cathedral is across the road but you can call the hotel’s reception desk to hail their teak boat to pick you up or return to Sathorn Pier at Saphan Taksin station. One of the best midday meals I have had in the past decade. Great view. IMG_8668.mov
  12. Well, thanks, never hurts to repeat the same concept hundreds of times over in one single communication channel in case it never occurred to a lone straggler not yet grasping it. I’m not actively part of any subgroup with overlapping preferences and associated goodwill collaboration to keep the piece and keep manicured claws intact, and would never be, but I can understand the appeal and merit it contains for others.
  13. I spirited a few up the various towers I sampled at Quarter Silom, using the entrances more around the ground level parking, as I had a few separate reservations over time in slightly different selection grades. I think there are 3 room sections. I tried to sneak them out after in the same way but some of them said well good-bye and went to talk to reception staff they evidently knew anyway. So roads may be paved in a way out of your well-intentioned hands. Others hung around the grounds I assume to have an office for arranging their subsequent contracts which might actually not at all necessitate moving very far. Think universality in this game, unblocked trade and blocked trolls alike. 🤣
  14. PS: Above all else, stay out of your own way.
  15. Haha … I had 2 individually and thought it might be fun to double up subsequently. However, do check out whether they are actual mortal enemies with dynamics worthy of any cheap telenovella. Same feature as Brazil, etc. Technically, it should not run more than double the cost, but be aware that you may be selecting from a very small inventory where other customers are putting in bids so to speak and contributing to the yoke of multiple gratuity garland sashes divvied at 9:1 profit gogo:house. Also, diligently check the positive and negative battery ends for compatibility and avoiding sparks at that level. That said, only one bottom is needed no matter the group size and that slot would likely be filled by you, your slot filed by them. Parenthetically, of course, a mismatch between gogos may be the actual justification for pushing for an arrangement. 😏 Signed, BKK Bukakke-deprived. (They generally seem pretty determined to cum, whether for release or due to local performative labour customs.)
  16. Thousands, under the right circumstances, with barely bahting an eye. I found myself preaching to some of the floor captains about the same thing. They shrug. In contrast, showed specimen examples of North American stripper clubs and Brazilian brothel venues and had them panting and pawing at me, distracted from their misguided profit margin duties. Eyes wide-eyed and incredulous about the Brazilian costs in particular. This activity doubled for me in terms of getting across the message that I had no interest having them ply the mediocre subset of lineup, and had reference points for mitigating greedy deal-striking attempts, albeit amusing. The approach is certainly rigidified.
  17. This should have been a memorable meal but was about the only somewhat of a letdown over a month. Yet among the most challenging to snag a table. Mind you it was early days, jet-lagged, and my body’s regular breakfast hour. Some of the textures and notes were off for me. Bland, and the beef seemed dry and flavourless. The dessert had a fermented component that I just did not take to, tasted borderline rancid. The renovation is very attractive. I emphasize that others should not go by my impression but might want to peruse food review sites prior to committal. I averaged about one “higher end” tasting-menu per week. It’s not my usual dining format and somewhat volume overload for one sitting given my usual nutrition consumption. However, no regrets about the other choices. I usually take a glass of champagne but no wine accompaniment.
  18. How to grease the wheels in advance for one’s future shot at a hearing …
  19. Ah, OK. At the risk of setting off metaphorically a few sticks of dynamite, I put forward the opinion that there is a fairly narrow circumscribed range of physical attractiveness among the hundreds of lads within the dozens of shops, and your take of the walk through this week is representative of the entire field and I think is similar to mine. Part of the problem is regularly seeing hot local guys around and about that are not well represented in the shops. They are obviously not available. Personally, I would be reluctant to spend much time hunting within that (spa) domain, but my mileage is driven by other travel goals. Living there might be an exception in that rigorous searching for gems is more feasible and one might find a regular that matches type. In my recent visit I maintained reasonable expectations given my preferences and budgeted for what would work for me. I did not spend nearly the cash I had been prepared to finance play for. However, I am low maintenance in that part of travel when there is a lot to see and do apart from play. Interestingly, the enormous array of consistently beautiful female trade in hordes in Patpong might get one’s hopes unrealistically raised about MSM trade prospects, but not to be. There are but a few I was determined to work to get.
  20. 1) a hotel room; hotel apartment with kitchen amenities; or Airbnb fully equipped apt, registered with the city as the licensing rules are strictly enforced, as regulations should be. 2) by foot; Metro if needed including linked tram extension, as I have liked staying in different areas. I use Über a lot elsewhere but have had no occasion to need it or taxi. I take the Metro as opposed to Express bus for airport transit. At times I have mixed and matched. You can get a hotel apartment further afield for X amount, often even with interesting sights less travelled by the average visitor, and travel downtown just relaxing or reading on the subway and/or tram, or considerably more for lodgings equivalency downtown, in my case trending at 2 or 2.5 times X amount, that might be more convenient for hosting. Over a decade I have only branched out to ad-based more recently.
  21. None from me. Just the perfect amount of detail. I thought you were a Bangkok veteran, way past the Goldilocks phase and capable of honing in to your target preferences. Did I get that wrong (rhetorical)?
  22. Yeah, don’t worry about it. Just my version of a love song to the nearby many alternatives to sex parlours, absolutely fine an option no judgement, an ode to variations in hook-up playbooks in the area. Nothing special. [Here, on the nose; I had to clear the gauntlet of touts on my street is all, with other plans to keep up with.] I realize that some people want graphic details that can realistically extend to how many daily tricks, licks, thrusts, seminal fluid volume measures, and Bahts to the 0.001 factor are involved in surrogate intimacy. Punters may want to know exactly who I went with and a blow by blow of all the circumstances. I have little interest in theirs. I have read enough to know that details other than sunk cost are little more than window dressing for a majority here. Not relatable. I would consider being more generous in detail but for the fact that I don’t truly grasp why it would be of interest, it doesn’t particularly stand apart, my posts on the subject would elicit a lot of repetitive commentary, and the array of trolls typically slumming around an anonymous chat board does not inspire. In contrast, when in Bangkok I have been happy to screen in person fellow punters, presumably not associated here, to share stories. I have a lot of stories. There are some genuinely nice chaps here but, frankly, not pulling any punches I realize, I would not have visited based on the hours spent reading the board content ahead of time. The practical details reside in the public domain elsewhere and more succinctly packaged. I was curious about the locale and my month paid off, glad I got to enjoy what others also find worthwhile.
  23. Whoever isn’t “triggered” by a sad angry offensive clown attempting to legitimize his xenophobia by scratching around for obscure references made by others to the same category of people is asleep at the wheel. Period. The assertion that somebody is triggered, as if it represents some kind of flaw, is the typical feeble go-to lazy language choice made by a troll anxiously trying to gain ground in a debate. You would never have come up with it but for matriculation from the troll academy. In fact, there is no debate. Some entry visas, to chat platforms, should be subject to review. I might add that it’s small-t trigger; quite small potatoes, you. The predominant reason you would publish your outlandish comments about a specific nationality here is that you elicit little more than eyerolls in the real world, measuring your significance according to the degree to which you do successfully piss others off. Get help.
  24. Yes, where any science background similarity ends is exactly how I would punctuate it. Thank you, flagbearer of the board’s pro-Sinophobia militia of 1. I would not want to be viewed as possessing other traits in common. Shouldn’t you be spending your time desperately unearthing, cherry-picking, comments from other posters in vain attempts to legitimize by numbers your blatant xenophobia? In this thread are contained signs of a predominant historical theme in which others are relegated as lesser, eg, a poster here deigned to append an article positioned in the lay press, the LAY press of all places, the overreaction a vociferous ranting about it without openness to all of the facts about the topic. Such snobbery, with often ridiculously contrived embellishments, is what one sees in a character whose aim is to convince all others they are punching above their weight. I expect we will now have a song coming on to compensate for hubris overreach. Thud. Enjoy being stuck with the restricted option. I am apparently hardly alone in this appraisal though I wouldn’t need to rely on others to confirm it directly here. The main criticism levied at me should be (is) why I would waste my time in a wannabe quasi web health room comprised of a board dedicated subforum and/or random submissions, of such limited quality and with troll-grade governance overrepresentation.
  25. A classic example of counting on denominator neglect in constructing perspective. The rare occurrence of a tsunami or somebody egregiously relieving self in the local fountain is so compelling that its probability as a phenomenon of Mother Nature or representative of a particular classified subgroup based on a single member is vastly overestimated. An unimpressive, futile attempt to shape the narrative by repeating the same drivel as if it’s believable and could eventually prevail within the broader consciousness here. Cowering pathetically behind similarly xenophobic expressivity as if these quotes buttress your opinion. It’s sad that you don’t grasp your limitations and don’t realize when you’re done, quitting before being left further behind. You come across as a trickle with enormous toxic waste potential.
