Olddaddy, you are wise. Far, far wiser than your critics.
The issue really is freedom. Islam involves the removal of freedom of choice not just in religion, not just in freedom of speech, and not just for Muslims, but for infidels too. So as screwed up as the LGBTQRSTUV.... etc. lunatic fringe is, it is only because of people like you that we can survive. That crowd will fight to defend the rights of the Muslim hordes rampaging thru France destroying everything in their sight. Yet, should they ever take over and institute Sharia law, it is these LGBTQ radicals who will be the first ones to get their dicks chopped off, and lose their freedoms they now take for granted living in western civilized society.
While living in France, I saw them take over quaint, quiet, picturesque villages, create their own separate neighborhoods, impose their own laws such as how women should dress, behave, etc. where the French citizens were discouraged to enter. I know in Israel, the Jewish people always treat the Muslims in their hospitals, even though they know they hate them. The Muslims still hate them. Their Koran encourages hatred toward Christian & Jews.
They don't have exact records like with the Holocaust the way the Nazis had ledgers etc., but for India, serious estimates of the numbers of Hindus killed by the Muslims, not just in the initial invasion, but through the years as they spread in India, is 60 million, ten times the Holocaust. And it gets very little attention, people in the West act like Islam has just always been there, in all the lands it now occupies, and it is racist or bigoted to even question it.
Being called a: xenophobe, racist, Islamophobe, etc. by any one of that crowd should be treated like a Medal of Honour.
Shame on you. I will not go into detail to reply to your hate filled post, that would dignify your position and that is something you absolutely do not deserve.
You take pride in being a racist hateful bigot? Well if the is what your ideological background calls for then feel proud to stick that medal of shame to your coat.
Shame really, and you are the last person to talk about genocide or the Holocaust.

I should congratulate you.
I'm a low tech guy. I'm not big on virtual reality goggles. The idea of IA scares the shit out of me.
You're demonstrating we can save the money and research. Since we don't need high tech to live in our own virtual and distorted realities. Congratulations. Enjoy the world of contempt you live in.
But the conflict in Israel and Palestine is definitely another great example where the hatred and prejudice and contempt for facts, in that case, apartheid runs extremely deep.
That said, I have a personal bias about American Jews that is relevant to this discussion. I love them. As an organizer I have worked with so many American Jews who were deeply motivated by social justice that you just can't miss it. It started with my Poli Sci professor, Paul Wellstone, who pretty much inspired my decision to spend decades as a community organizer. His Senate opponent, Rudy Boschwitz, also a Jew, literally attacked him for being a "bad" Jew. While he may not have been the most observant Jew, anyone who knew and loved Paul knew his religion was at the core of his beliefs about social justice. It just reinforces the point that getting to know people is such an antidote to the hate and prejudice being expressed here.
Americans Jews are willing to be clear minded about this hate and prejudice and venom and bile. 34 % call Israeli's treatment of Palestinians "racism," 25 % call it "apartheid," and 22 % call it "genocide." As well, 1 in 4 Israeli Jews use the word "apartheid" to describe how Palestinians are treated. While most Israeli Jews don't go that far, that poll seems typical in illustrating that it is a minority filled with the bile and prejudice that believe in ideas that are easy to call apartheid. While 41 % of Israeli Jews in that poll are willing to take Palestinian's rights away, which is at the core of the conflict, 43 % oppose the idea. As we are seeing right now, that condemns both sides to more hate, more death, more violence. In France, we are seeing that it only takes a small minority of haters and bigots throwing around words like "savages" to fuel violence.
Blessed are the peace makers.
When you embrace the idea of condemning a whole race or religion - "The Muslims still hate them," in your words - it really does put you in bed with assholes like Goebbels. I never understand why people who want to perceived as just want to play out of Goebbel's bag of tricks. But Goebbels of course thought he was fighting a just cause, too. Your remedies may not be as extreme. But it is driven by exactly the same prejudice and bile. Ugh! It is so ugly, and leads to so much death. Ugh!
The situation in the Occupied territories is very different than that in France and more complex. A people living under occupation don't have the luxury to pretend to live normal lives. I wish that was not the case but it is. Again @EmmetK is speaking from a right wing ideological perspective which is not helpful at all.
Thank you @stevenkesslar for your balanced view, you did justice to people who don't have a voice to speak.

They would be the very least I would be concerned about same with people of a indian nationality,no they were of another nationality.
As for yourself don't blame yourself,it's the way you were brought up and I hazard a guess you have a job as a professor or something where you haven't seen real life as such or been in real life situations as I said above.
I have empathy for you
Do we need to draw up a list of all undesirable, unwanted and dangerous groups of peoples based on nationalities?
I,personally, do not think any particular group of people as a collective whether it's by nationality or race or faith or whatever singular factor to be inherently "bad." This sort of generalization is unscientific and counter intuitive. I would rather put emphasis on myself to strive to be a better person, God knows there's plenty of messed up people on this planet and I don't want to be part of that.

Maybe you live a sheltered life?it's even possible and I'm not being personal this relates to everyone,but you avoid "reality" to cope with life and want to think it's a "perfect" world ,I guess it can be a coping skill,
The problem with that is if I threw you in the deep end and made you walk the streets on weekend nights you would run to a corner and hide because you have done nothing but you use "avoidance" to cope
What does living in a sheltered life have to do with this all. I honestly am trying very hard to understand your logic.
You said that Muslims are homophobes and that they are dangerous to run into at night, so please help me understand; would you be afraid to walk in say, Dubai or Istanbul or Kuala Lumpur as a Gay man or a tourist?
If that were the case then it would be sensible to warn others about traveling to North Africa or the Middle East since they would be, in your opinion, taking a risk?

Unfortunately they hate gays and i saw this recently in Sydney gay pride where they as a massive group assualted and surrounded a young transexual.
They hate gay people as evidence by their protests in Sydney during World gay pride
I challenge you to walk with a rainbow flag in some areas of Sydney,yeah you won't do it right , I'm sure you will meet some very interesting Muslims 😅
Im not interested in their homophobic beliefs
Oh I believe you and what better way to demonstrate that than by looking at Muslim fanatic Ron DeSantis.
In any case I was merely trying to help you out by giving you tips on how to avoid interacting with muslims or other brown third world savages by avoiding traveling through their airlines or stopping in their countries.

Well...if I'm Muslim phobic I admit it.
I don't like that religion or any other religion...I don't care what others think.
I don't have to like anyone , I don't get along with Muslim people unfortunately
Excellent.
Since you are so proudly "Muslim phobic" please don't fly Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways or Turkish Airlines. Kindly refrain from having stopovers in Dubai, Doha, Istanbul on your way and don't forget to not visit Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia not to mention Dubai. There are plenty of places where you nurture and grow in hate for muslims, arabs and brown people of all sorts and types. Have fun!

Be prepared your next trip...inflation has hit here too. Many guys asking for 250-300 in sauna, up to 750-800 to go to your room.....and they've become difficult and more demanding on their terms....paradise is changing 😏
The sauna charges 25 for GP's to get in most day...that is passed on to us.Please excuse my ignorance but are the amounts you mentioned in US$ ?

Brazil and Colombia are best bet, least expensive options....they exist in Mexico also, but might be from other countries....including Venezuela but come with a higher price tag since they are not in their natural habitat 😉
Thank you @floridarob!
I have now narrowed my search to either Colombia or Brazil. Do you think that for a month's time trip I can cover both countries in one trip or shall I just stick to exploring one since I'm a newbie?

Rio de Janeiro is a beautiful place to visit. But you will not know what you don't know, and traveling solo that places you at some degree of risk if you're not careful wandering about the city. I can't think of a better or easier place for a newbie to find handsome guys than the saunas with garotos in Rio. Go to one or more of the saunas, do some shopping from the oftentimes large groups of available guys and have sex right then and there; no need to invite someone back to your hotel or apartment. You and a garoto will figure out how to handle the transaction and the reception staff will be able to communicate with you.
There are many trip and other reports about Rio archived here on these forums, as well as information about Colombia (which I have not visited). If you haven't already done so, take the time to read through the treasury of excellent information.
When are you thinking of making this trip?
Thank you very much for your help. I agree that Brazil is more suited for first timers visiting S America looking for fun with men. I will certainly look through the travel reports posted on the forum.
I plan to travel late February/ early March.

Well … this one? Copenhagen. However, not the chocolate shop chain in Brazil, Kopenhagen.
But speaking of newbies in candy shops, you are asking very general questions that have elusive answers. Handsome fit young men are a dime a dozen anywhere, but not priced like that. First things first: are your aspirations hiring or scoring? You have managed to evade attempts at queries about expectations. There is a huge difference and we get tired of second- guessing what advice would be helpful.
I apologize if I sounded vague. I am a newbie when it comes to S. America that's true.
I certainly am not looking for scoring if that means free time with men, it's only one month after all. To be more precise I am looking for hiring and I appreciate the advice I got thus far from Gentlemen here. I'll look for GPs from saunas in Colombia or Brazil. I'll look up the travel reports from the area and hopefully gain more insight.
Thank you for your help!

To be honest I want to visit S. America to see guys like this!
where can I find them ?
-
I would like to thank you all for your wonderful tips and advice, very grateful
Just to clarify, the only country I visited in S. America was Bolivia and that was long ago. I am trying to organize a trip to be a sort of beginners introduction to that part of the world for sightseeing but more for men. I had seen the reports about the gay scene in Colombia and from that am very excited about the guys there! To be honest I only speak very basic Spanish and no Portuguese so that, I guess, would be an issue I must deal with.
I have been to Thailand numerous times and while I certainly love the guys there, I really am also attracted to Latin men
I want to have a nice time with men from there. It is something I have been planning to do for a long time. I don't really have any expectations, just take things as they come.
Once again, thank you to all that took time to reply to me give me help and advice. I appreciate your kindness!

Hi,
I am hoping to visit Latin America early next year and am trying to plan a travel itinerary. For a month's time visit should I visit more than one country or more? I have in mind a visit to Mexico and Colombia vs going to Brazil and Argentine. Would appreciate any tips and pointers
Thank you!

This is disturbing. How frequent does this sort of thing happen and what can one do for protection?

So this on Youtube and thought it might be an interesting one to see. Mind you it's a lady sex worker describing her experience. I don't know if male workers are the same?

If only it was that simple as Peter elaborated above.
Life is a balance of simplicity and complexity and the way to be happy is to strike the right balance. I like Thailand because, in my opinion, it is relatively simple, more relaxed and easy going. Best wishes

I understand your thoughts and there have been times I have agreed with you. I have alternated between period of being in love and being the butterfly. I loved both, even though breakups from someone you truly love can be so hard. The important point is that sex is not love. It is more like a momentary high. But sex not an either/or. Not sure of your age, but I have found that age changed my views more in favour of having someone in my life.
I agree 100% with what you wrote. Sex is not love and sex is not a substitute for love. I think of Sex in terms of an addiction, I get the fix and get the high and then move on.. that's it, nothing substantial. Sex can be awesome and wonderful and all that yes and that is why we have it and travel across the world to have it but it cannot be a substitute for companionship, only love can be. To be honest I crave companionship and I feel that much more happier if I had it in my life. I'm 51. I feel that time is running out to find a mate, something that I really want. So I will travel east and west, spend money in foreign lands to have sex with strangers and come back the same way I started.
This is a topic that I think alot about and I hope that my incoherent thoughts made justice to what I am trying to convey
I hope you all find love and companionship and a happy and fulfilling life 🙏🌹

Would that were so. Sadly words are mere words and if someone really does not want to hear them, nothing will change their behaviour. An addict is an addict. Equally sadly most will not accept this is so. Almost all, I am told, believe they can control their addiction when in fact it is the addiction that controls them.
Addiction is an medical condition and as such requires professional mental and physical therapy intervention. In this case moral support has an auxiliary effect but still is relevant. It is sad when young people's lives are cut short but there is only so much a person can do to help but to know that you played a part, however small, to alleviate their suffering males it that much more worthwhile. There are rehab centers that you can help your loved ones tackle their addictive impulses if you want to go all the way and being there for them. Most importantly it is the isolation that drives addiction, the demons of desolation. If it was my loved one's life on the line I will do all that it takes and I will sure as hell won't let them demons win 🌹

Individuals dying as a result of drugs, crashing their motorcys after driving drunk and too fast, even by suicide is very difficult for others to control. Even those who see the signs of alcohol, drug, gambling and other addictions find it all but impossible to help. The individual has to want help - and in too many cases deep down they don't. For most, there is some deep rooted mental issue. Thankfully, for those who do want treatment, there are many more facilities now than there used to be.
All it takes is some kind words and empathy. Being their for others, even if it be by moral support, makes all the difference. Maybe others need to feel you care about them.

I lost two lovers as a result of AIDS. I had been madly in love with the first, a Japanese, and we had talked about living together. But because we were then living almost 1,800 miles apart, even though we were meeting almost every month and took holidays together, I suppose it was inevitable that he would meet someone else. In my early 30s, I could not understand how any young Japanese (he was 25) could possibly leave me for a man more than double his age - he was 52(!) I did learn later he wanted stability and eventually to start a business. His new partner gave him both. He did write to me to say what had happened and how sorry he was that he had hurt me. At the time it was no consolation.
Although it took me many months to get over the anger and to a certain extent the betrayal I felt, I eventually realised it was as much my fault. It was the early 1980s was I still quite new to Asia and certainly to Japan. A few years later he called me and asked if we could meet again. He wanted my help re part of his little business. We had a joyful reunion dinner and became good friends. FIve years after we had split up, when having tea he told me he had been feeling well. He and his bf were leaving for a long summer in London when he would seek treatment if he did not get better. Two months later, I got a call from his partner whom I had never even spoken to before. My first lover had died of AIDS. I flew over for the funeral.
Looking back, it seems odd that I had no worries about being infected. Perhaps I was in denial with HIV/AIDS being a death sentence. We had never used condoms, but then when we were together we knew very little about HIV. Thereafter I always used them.
In the early 1990s I met a tall Thai student in, of all places, Babylon. Having had part of his education in Australia, he spoke fluent English with a slight Ozzie accent. Over the next year or so we were to meet frequently, each time becoming more besotted with each other. I even seriously thought of moving to Bangkok just to be with him. But he wanted to leave Bangkok as he felt too confined here after the freedom he'd enjoyed in Sydney. He was desperate to live with me in Hong Kong. I knew - and told him many times - that he and we would face many obstacles there, far more than in Thailand. He could not continue his studies, without an HK ID card he would be unable to find a decent job - and so on. But he was adamant. Stupidly I gave in.
Although we did lots of things together and I loved having him live with me, it was obvious he was beginning to regret his decision. Just before Christmas we went to Australia for 10 days as I had a couple of days business. With frequent absences from our hotel, I knew he'd been meeting old friends and perhaps returning to some of his old gay haunts. After quite a bitter argument one evening, he told me he would not come back to Hong Kong. He planned to stay with an old flame in Sydney. And that is what he did. This time I realised I had made the wrong decision and for months I regretted it. What I should have been aware of was that the freedom he had enjoyed before I met him in Babylon had included quite a bit of unprotected sex. After he became sick, he returned to his Kanchanaburi home where died of AIDS two years later.
But again i did not get myself tested. Finally on a trip to Phuket with friends, I went to a clinic and after three days learned I was negative. Yet despite all the bad feelings, I was later to put these totally behind me and as @Mavica pointed out earlier, just remember all the wonderful times we had enjoyed. Despite the sorrow at relationships coming to an abrupt end and of young lives being cut far too short, I am surprised that these memories do not fade.
I am very sorry for your loss. Be well and take care 🌹
