I'm a fan of AC. Would love to bed him.

Overall, a good looking group of young men in the Navy-theme video. I see several I'd likely off, if possible. Thanks for posting.

Yes. It was considered at the time, the standard by which all gay baths were judged by.

"Slurp Ramps", I think they're called. I'd visit Steamworks when I lived in Chicago. Cock, for days! Maybe 30 "holes' guys would stick cocks into. If you couldn't get blown, or blow ... there was something wrong with you. There are other slurp ramps in that baths, but the one where wanna-be recipients of blow jobs are on an elevated platform ... is unusual for gay baths, from my experience. Although no slurp ramps, when I speak of gay baths I'm always drawn to fond memories of Babylon Baths in Bangkok ... years ago. Visiting Babylon was a joyous experience!

I've studied many reports about the life of the "Orange Jesus" and I'm left with the impression he was/is a sissy ... made fun of by peers most of his life, particularly when he was in the various schools. But with that fat ass, who would want so fuck him? Ugh! I've no doubt he was made to suck some cocks, repulsive as the image might be.

It already is, an issue. In the USA there are employers who ask job applicants for the identity of social media websites they participate in and the screen names they use. The employers are looking for negative behavior. Then, there are employers who remotely monitor an employee's use of the internet, sites they visit, etc. during the workday.

Thank you for the suggestion. From my place to the Orlando airport takes approx 2.5 hours assuming no accidents or other traffic delays. Add to the drive the need to get to the airport 2+ houes in advance ... and pay for a couple of weeks parking ... it becomes too much of a hassle for me. The greater ease of departing from Tampa is the more attractive option, even if it ultimately cost me a couple of hundred $ more, than leaving from Orlando. Again, thanks.

Yes.

So many choices. For me, from Tampa, Florida USA to BKK in November, assuming a visit of 2 weeks, airfare is approx. US$1,700 r/t with a travel time of 30 hours. Ouch! Tampa > Medellin? Approx. US$600/8 hours. Rio? US$1,200/13 hours. Santo Domingo: approx. US$600/6 hours. Prague? US$920/16 hours.

My "voracious" comment wasn't specifically directed toward you, personally. It was meant to reference the individuals on the various GG forums who refer to the many sexual encounters they have when they travel. One poster talks about sucking-off 60 guys in 60 days. Good for him. That's someone with a "voracious" sexual appetite and maybe spends more money collectively than I will, as I define the term ... and there many who post here who fall into my defined category. 😆 On a two or three week trip (which is the length of a typical trip I take, because I'm still working in the USA (and have other tethering responsibilities) which has notoriously short vacation periods in comparison to many other countries), I'm completely satisfied if I have a couple of guys a week to have sex with. I've previously posted that I haven't tricked in Istanbul. I'll be back there again in the future, for certain, and I'll work hard to acquire accommodation where I can host someone, or I'll find another venue for that purposes of sex. I've traveled most/much of the Silk Road, and my interest in Istanbul/Turkey, Central Asia and China is related historical events and locations. Istanbul, Bukara, Tashkent, Samarkand, Urumqi, Turfan, Lanzhou, Xi'an and Beijing: I've visited each. Maybe my experiences will turn-out to be the same as yours in Istanbul; maybe not. It's not unusual for one person to experience the environment differently than the next person traveling afterwards, or beforehand.

When I lived in Chicago, airfare to BKK was less (and easier to get to) than it is were I to depart from where I Iive now (Central West Florida). For two weeks in November airfare will cost me approx. $1,700 with a trip time of about 30 hours. Travel time and airfare cost are a deterrent. My medical history and preference in guys has changed since my first visit to Thailand in the early 1990s, so though my interest in Thailand remains high my desire has lessened. Never say never: I would visit Thailand in the future but cultural reasons other than go-go or other "boys" will be the reason for the visit. Yes, the extracurricular activities will be a plus, but it will be easier for me to travel to the Dominican Republic and South America, and some European destinations for that.

I've been reading your many comments. You say you are partnered with a man from Singapore, if I'm recalling correctly. Is yours an open relationship, or have you tricked with so many others over the years, without the knowledge/consent of you partner? Or do you and your partner engage in three ways or group sex? Thank you in advance for your response.

In Turkey, I only know Istanbul. I love that city, the culture ... the food ... and there are so many handsome men. Unfortunately, where I've stayed does not allow guests. I've been there during Ramadan when many guys stick close to family, particularly during evenings when they break the fast. If a primary purpose of a trip abroad is to have sex, Istanbul/Turkey would not be my choice. Not if I'm traveling from the USA. But, when I am there again and have accommodation where I can invite someone back ... paying 100 Euro to a guy who interests me would not upset me. I'd do it - because my appetite isn't as voracious as many others who post here!. I loved riding the trams and street cars ... and brushing up against so many handsome men whose smiles almost melted me in their presence. I've also spent some time in the Kurdish quarter of Istanbul ... and find the young men handsome. Very.

Angry, yes ... it clearly seems. Expressions of prejudice based on an individual's or group of individuals' nationality, maybe skin color ... maybe religious beliefs. Pattaya today isn't the same as was witnessed / experienced two and three decades ago. When I feel a destination is no longer to my liking, I simply move-on to someplace else. I try not to personally attack individuals whose travel / life preferences are different from mine. Let's remember that we have in this discussion one observer of a situation about which he was uncomfortable - reporting his concern - and several newspaper articles describing arrests. How many others of us participating in this discussion knows what truly transpired ... the "facts" of what has or has not happened. Is this a temporary concern, long-term? We have conflicting opinions / experiences. Time will tell.

The quote, above, is from one of the linked news articles. Chaos is not a description universally agreed to, but I haven't been present when the incidents occurred. However, the way to put a stop to this is to concentrate on the rental shops and shutting-down those who've rented the equipment in violation of regulations.

I live in the USA, and have traveled world-wide, extensively. If I were to relocate outside the USA I'd almost certainly move to Mexico where I've lived previously. I speak Spanish, which is a huge plus. Other than Mexico, I'd like to live in Ireland .. but a retiree visa requires 50,000 Euro annual income if I'm recalling correctly. I wouldn't live in Asia, or Thailand. Language is one reason. Living someplace is very different than visiting as a tourist.

Doesn't this belong in the Thailand forum?

So what. Many straight - and Bi - guys switch hit. He's with an ugly wife now, hopefully a good companion and if he has the opportunity to trick with one of the stunningly handsome Brit soldier types at the palace ... congrats.

Use of masks is a turn-off for me, and I think many others. There has to be a theme, a story line in order for the use of masks to work. They didn't work in the example in the OP.

No, I don't think so.
