my guess will be , being old doctor she heard it all already
Those of us who engage in irresponsible / dangerous or unsafe activities must be honest with our healthcare providers. Physicians have seen it all, and being less than candid is deceptive and curtails our good healthcare and the health of those others we interact with.

Yes I see them marketing in fancy coloured small bottles now no doubt to make them more appealing to the younger bottom generation
I've never seen poppers sold in other than brown bottles, and, FYI, poppers are used by many tops. My view of poppers, as someone who used them earlier in life: I stopped decades ago because of the dangers. To each his own.

Do any of you guys have boyfriends as in real love?
Be it open or closed relationship where by open I mean you both can have sex with other guys .
After being in Thailand millions of times I have come to the conclusion it's more impossible to find a real boyfriend there compared to somewhere like the Philippines.
I got lonely in my last few weeks in Thailand (jomtien complex) I started to feel like I wanted a real companion not a money boy .
I guess you guys who are loners are sort of "accepted" that,that you will be alone and maybe even trick yourself that you don't need anyone
I don't know if I could live alone without a companion again,I did it for years before though.
But let's talk about a real BF , not a paid BF .
I always remember listening to a Pattaya expat last June who spoke to me about this .
He told me some of the expats were lonely and had money boys live with them for free and called them boyfriends,I guess because they needed a companion to be with them.
But that's not real love
I wonder how many of you can move to say somewhere like Pattaya and retire there before you crave real companion (boyfriend) and then anyone will do as you don't wish to be alone sitting on a balcony in jomtien by yourself after finishing with the moneyboys .
I think Bangkok maybe different if your looking for a boyfriend,I don't know but I know Pattaya is not the place
Like I said if I wanted love ,I probably look at the Philippines again where it seems to me going by my experience Filipino young guys are really into Daddies.
Now maybe I'm wrong ,maybe Filipino guys maybe just more patient than Thai guys ,but many Filipino guys seem to really luv older farangs
Many of you must be lonely though,as you get older and your preference is younger guys .
I try not to be so judgmental of the lives of others.

The Room Mate Valentina closed permanently during the early days of Covid and the building is vacant now. I used to like it as well. Another nearby alternative that allows guests is the Hotel PF. It's a block or two away. I stayed there during gay pride in June and found it to be a nice older hotel. I didn't have guests there but my friend who stays there all the time says it's never a problem to bring someone in and I did not think the reception security seemed overbearing. They also run a Hotel called PF Suites which is slightly further away and seems a little more strict with visitors based on a friend's experience. One to avoid is the Hotel NH Reforma that is very restrictive about guests.
Calle Amberes, where that hotel and many gay bars are located ... is a cesspool. Filthy. Abandoned buildings, etc. Visit the street for entertainment, okay. Stay either in Colonia Roma Norte or Santa Maria de la Ribera. Hotel Embassy in Roma Norte or Hotel Santa Maria in Santa Maria de la Ribera are both gay friendly and situated in good neighborhoods.

In this thread UBER has been motioned a few times. I can assure you that you can get an Uber from the airport. Just like in other places such as Amsterdam or New Delhi, you will not find Ubers waiting in-front of the airport. You can order Ubers when you get outside. You just have to give them you terminal and door number and they pick you up 5 minutes later.
I thought I was there in 2017 but turns out it was 2018. I was also there in September 2019 and ordered an Uber the same way. You can't beat that price.
I don't use Uber in Mexico City. Too much fraudulent activity, IMO. Instead, I recommend using, from the airport, "authorized" taxi's from "Sitio 300" for which you can pre-pay the drive at a kiosk at the airport. Authorized taxi's from the airport offer safe and secure trips to your hotel/destination for a pittance in comparison to taxi prices it the USA. I've been doing this for the past 30+ years.

HJ or BJ is still sex, no?
Yes. But there are some persons confused about that, such as former U.S. President Bill Clinton. 🙄

Life goes fast,it really does , and I often wonder when I see work colleagues who are in their 70's why they are still working full time and wasting time?🙄
QuoteI looked at him stunned, how long does he think he has got in life, I honestly felt like saying to him why not go now,how long do you think you have left at 77? ?😳
I retired at 66, moved to Florida (USA) ... and have been working part-time 2x weekly for six years now. Seniors in the USA are working longer, oftentimes part-time. My behavior is to mind my own business and not expect others to live a life I choose to live. I don't consider my lifestyle a waste of time.

But unfortunately the Western Countries can have people who are very judgemental especially people our age group and above and even some quite nasty "Karen's" who won't mind their own business.
Any country you visit or live in has some of the people you seem so very concerned about. I live my life, and partake in my entertainment, for me ... not to please others. Of course there may be situations, worldwide, where we find ourselves in danger because of an outward expression of affection when in public. I confine romantic expressions to places where I can be private. I don't care what someone else thinks.

I'm a prostate cancer survivor, thankfully, and I can attest to a dramatic shrinking of my penis as an surgical after-result. Tough to deal with for a guy who was a 90 percent top.

Don’t be shocked if there is no choice but to shut down congregate sexual venues, in case you are planning to visit and utilize them.
I've been toying with a return visit to Rio. However, probably not until the pox risk diminishes ... particularly so because I'd be spending time in the saunas. I feel similarly about visiting (primarily for sex purposes) other destinations.

With younger gay tourists seemingly wealthier and travel hopefully soon to become less expensive, I'm rather surprised that there seem to be no tour companies around organising gay tours to several countries on one trip. Many will recall the Utopia Tours company which was based in the Tarntawan hotel lobby. It did organise multi-country tours. Sadly it became the subject of a scandalous court case (the scandal surrounded the judge!) and later shut up shop. I believe it was reincarnated as Purple Dragon Tours. But even that no longer exists. Anyone wanting to know more about that case can check here -

I know that Siam Roads provides excellent guides around the region. But it does not include Malaysia, Hong Kong or Taiwan nor make transport and hotel arrangements. Once the covid entry restrictions in all countries are removed, I expect the gay scenes in these cities to be fully open to tourists again. Perhaps the new breed of sex-related tourist might wish to include at least 2 if not 3 destination countries rather than always sticking with Bangkok and Pattaya.
I don't know that "younger gay tourists seem wealthier". Not post-COVID. Travel costs more today than it did several years ago. The worldwide economic situation is not favorable for many, currently. North American gay tourists seem to more frequently visit Mexico, Brazil, etc. It's closer, less expensive, and there seem to be plentiful opportunities to find play for pay relationships.

The more I looked into in, Mexico was the clear winner. Easier to get residency and no reporting BS and no keeping money in their banks. Once a resident in Mexico the only thing you have to report to immigration is any change of address.
Mexico, though, has an income/asset test/requirement in order to obtain a residency visa.

Perhaps if there was a sub-forum then it would be used more than you think.
Literally, few guys ask about Mexico, on these particular forums. A site administrator will look at the number of inquiries about a destination before considering a separate forum. There's just not enough interest in Mexico and Mexican hustlers to warrant that.

Nice upper body. But down below? Unless he's a grower, looks like a disappointment unless one is looking for a bottom.

Do you think Mexico merits its own subforum?
No, I don't. There's just not enough interest in Mexico ... on this forum.

I've traveled in Mexico for 40+ years, and lived in Mexico City for 6 years. So, I have a perspective/opinion. Mexico City is a high-altitude city, 7,400 ft. above sea level. Shirts-off would be appropriate in Acapulco or Puerto Vallarta or Cancun, but not Mexico City (due to climate). Yes, Mexico is a conservative country. Gay may be accepted, but not welcomed. Guys in Mexico City dress similarly to guys in the USA: whatever fits the moment. T-shirts, dress shirts, button-down, etc. Gym-going and outdoor physical activity is commonplace in the Mexico City gay and straight community. Comparing cultures amongst countries is problematic. Lifestyle in Rio is not easily comparable with other countries. But, Mexican guys love to party. Overall, I prefer the stereotypical Brazilian garotos to Mexican hustlers. Hands-down.

I sported a 7" hard-on in 8th grade. About the same time, as a Freshman in High School (14 years old) I'd hang-out outside the Chicago Greyhound Bus Station and "Daddies" would pick me up and blow me in a nearby hotel. It was for the pleasure / excitement, not any financial reward.
Some teen friends would hit me up, to blow me. As a freshman in high school I had an 8thg grade guy living downstairs sucking me off, whenever I wanted. I'd hitch-hike home from school, and, without missing a beat ... an older guy (some young, too) would pick me up and, before dropping me off at my stop ... suck me off. I was a athletic team equipment manager, and two of the athletes were suckable, and sucked, also. I started picking-up rent boys when I was in my late 20s. A bit later in life, in my 30s, I'd travel to NYC and was a frequent patron of Rounds ... the most extraordinary hustler bar in the city at the time. I'd pick-up actors, models, etc. for a pittance .. enough for them to go to Limelight or Studio 54, or pay for a snort; beautiful fucks. My travels to Rio have been rewarding. I'm now in my 70s, because of cancer not a top anymore ... but I always enjoy myself with the menu of handsome young men. Thank you to the garoto's and other Brazilians for making me happy!

This debate comes now and then, and in my opinion is nonsense, because ultimately it is about personal preferences.
This is how I also view such a discussion - personal preferences. Though I have frequented the Rio Garoto de Programa saunas, I've also patronized saunas without - several times. I enjoy both because the experiences can be very different, one compared to the other.

I can't speak to the issue for Colombia, specifically. But I studied Spanish in Mexico for 6 months, and later in my career working in Mexico for 6-years was an English- language teacher/consultant. As a student, I benefitted from intercambio's with local residents in the town where I studied, and during travels in Mexico following formal study. When living in Mexico City I was frequently approached by high school and college students who wanted conversational English, and I benefitted from the conversational Spanish. Oftentimes, I was stopped at coffee shops, walking down a street, etc. by students fulfilling school assignments. So, long way around of saying this: consider visiting locations near or at some of the private schools, including cafe's. You can start the conversation by asking, in English, if someone speaks English; many young people who do will want to practice. I think this is true in probably all of the Spanish-speaking countries.
Slang, modismo's (as they call it in Mexico) is a huge hurdle for non-native speakers in any country. Spanish isn't spoken exactly the same in any one of the countries; vocabulary differs. English isn't spoken equally, either. In the USA we have regional vocabulary differences, too. For Mexicans I worked with, dealing with the USA-English slang was and continues to be a big hurdle; confusing. I was and am sometimes still confused by Mexican slang ... and how people in Veracruz may speak and sound differently than, say, persons living in Zacatecas.
A new language isn't learned in 90-days, no matter what the TV commercials proclaim. Learning some vocabulary is very different than learning how to comprehend what others are saying to you ... especially when beginners are struggling with translating from one language into another. You know you've made substantial progress when you can hear, understand and respond in the moment.
Intercambio's via Zoom, etc. can be beneficial.
Best of luck.

Richard, please share the name of the place and how to rent there.
Considering the recent discussion(s) elsewhere on these forums ... sharing such information in a private message (if the individual is willing to do so) might better than posting in the open. 😀

Poppers

IMO, an insane behavior. Careless to all concerned, and those who follow. Did we learn nothing the height of HIV, Monkeypox, STDs of all sorts?
