I had dinner again tonight at Ole Resturant in Day/Night 2 in Pattaya. The food was good, the service was good and I enjoyed my meal. They seemed to have made nice improvements in all areas. Keep it up guys!
I know many of you tried the place before and were unhappy with it. They seem to be working hard on fixing some of their problems. Why not check it out and give them another chance?

Happy return and the new toys look nice. Is the Post "how do I tell if he is gay" Blocked? When I try to reply I get an error message. I just wanted to say Harpic Harpic is actually Hasip Hasip which translates as Fifty-Fifty
Yes, we took it offline till we had time to discuss it. It wasn't just about being gay. It started off talking about poop on the end of a dick. Not a good way to start the board IMHO.

There are many improvements in Sunee Plaza recently. The Corner Bar and Krazy Dragon are setting new standards in the area. There are several boys that have been redone and are looking wonderful. The area keeps getting better and the bars seem to be spending more and more money on upgrading the facilities.
If you have not had one of the Memories pork sandwich recently, give it a try.
Jimmy Jimy James was packed last night. It was standing room only.
Come In bar has done a few cosmetic changes which look great.
The new Euro bar was open last night and a fresh coat of paint and a new look outside keep the area changing.

Apart form checking if his dick tastes like shit how can I tell if he is gay?
Sometimes when i ask are you gay i get a reply harpic harpic which is a toilet cleaner where I come from. What does he mean?
I don't think this is a serious question. However, I will bite.
You can tell if someone is gay when they come to Pattaya and stay at Howard's guesthouse and go to Gentleman's Club each night. If the above conditions are not met, they are not gay.
In all seriousness, why don't you just ask them? I don't think anyone is totally gay or straight. I think most lie in the middle area. I am 99.4 percent gay. I save the .6 for the really extraordinary ladies.
In Thailand, you will never be able to tell for sure as if they are not obviously gay; they may say they are not gay because they only date ladyboys. I know many boys here who think if they date ladyboys, they are not gay. That is not really my definition. But, if that is what they believe, that is ok for me too.
Is it necessary to know if someone is gay? I ask all the time. Often, I understand that the answer is dependant on what that person understands of the word.
As for me, I'll be at Howard's most of the night.
Cheers!

Has anyone tried this? I found it in Thailand and it is quite nice. It does not leave the headache that Viagra leaves. It comes in liquid form. I think it is from India.
Anyone else used it? Results?

>Bogus information is bogus information.
I do agree with you.
>I’m not trying to beat a dead horse here, I’m really not.
I think this is a prime example of bogus information. You are not only beating a dead horse, you are kicking it, stomping on it and mutilating it. My god man, horses are people too! What would PETA say about this poor horse?

>This is all very interesting, indeed. But as someone who is
>smarter than I am once said……”Follow the money.”
haha. My minister always said, "Money is the root of all evil." I disagree. I would be a very good boy if I had all of Bill Gates money.
But, CB, you are right. Follow the money. Want an example?
How much do you think it cost to produce a video? Top to bottom?
Take that number, and I promise you that is what one company pays for the wholesale price for one video that is popular. I know one video when I ran a video store that I had to order over 400 copies. They were 30 each wholesale. Do you think the video cost more than that?
There is great money to be made in the making of these videos. GREAT amounts. It is a cutthroat business. Why? Follow the money. See what one video makes for a company. Once you see this, you will know what is at stake. IMHO
I am sure this issue has cost Cobra tons of money. I hope they remedy the situation.,
I have wanted to make a video for years. I have never done so as I don't have the time. But, my idea to make one was to get 10 boys. Give them each 5% of the sales of all videos or pay them a flat fee for the scene. Most will take the later. But, the smart ones would take the percentage. If you do this, then you have them vested in the success of your video. They will promote it for you. Then, everyone wins. Not just one or two people but the whole group. I call this Socialized Porn Production. Can I coin that phrase?

I don't think anyone on earth knows more about porn than you Marc. I can always depend on you for info.

I think the mess they have done to each other is crazy. I get the newsletters. Cobra now promotes Brent's website as much as its own. Why? V for Vendetta.
That does not make King Cobra guilty of using an underage boy in his films. But, it goes a long way to show the lenghs he goes for revenge. IMHO
-
I get e-mails from Cobra Video every week or two. I find it interesting that in all the e-mails, they seem to promote a website about Brent Corrigan. I can't quiet understand this. Brent is the model that claims he was underage at the time of shooting of a few of their videos. Instead of trying to distance themselves from him completely, they seem to be actively promoting him more than any other model they have ever had. I wonder what the reason behind this is? Why are they over promoting this guys site? I know they own the site. I know the own the photos. But, what on earth are they doing pushing this to the forefront of every newsletter they send? What is the agenda for this unless it is just retaliation against him?
I ask because for the life of me I cannot figure it out.

We ran an ad in Next Magazine in NYC this week. Did anyone perchance see the ad? How was it? Any suggestions for future ads? Thanks.

As many of you know, I have been working on a project related to Brazil. Part of it has to do with the gay history of Brazil. Having enjoyed several great trips there, I am often amazed at the way gay guys, or sauna guys, view being gay or gay sex. To that end, I needed a bit of research on it and this is the result. It will bore most of you to tears, but I thought I would share here anyway.
Happy sleep. Oz
BRIEF HISTORY OF HOMOSEXUALISM IN BRAZIL
In any given culture, tribe, country, nationality or population, it is a well known fact that about 10% of its people are homosexuals, a fact established by canonic, orthodox Science a long time ago. What is difficult to understand is why, to this day, academic circles still resist to accept and study this reality. Of course we can trace the origins of this discrimination policy to our Judeo-Christian heritage, who elected homosexualism as the most odious of crimes that can be committed by men, worse than sexual violence against children, matricide, cannibalism, genocide and even deicide, all crimes considered sins while homosexualism is considered “nefandum!...”.
Apparently, one of the reasons for this attitude almost universal against homosexualism is the erroneous belief that homosexualism is a lifestyle people choose to live, the condition itself is a conscious choice made by these 10% of the population at some point in their lives. Sort of like going to the market and choosing beef or chicken for the day’s meal, this deviant creature is someone that woke up one day and decided to express an homosexual behavior when, until the day before, he was a perfectly happy and integrated heterosexual. How could the majority of humanity come to this conclusion is a fascinating mystery, to this very day. Anyone who is a homosexual knows there is no choice on the matter, for homosexualism is a characteristic 10% of the population are born with, same as our eyes color or the color of our skin.
This brief diatribe, in no way intended to be conclusive, will take us back to Pre-Colombian America, where the history of homosexual practices can be observed through sculptures, drawings and ceramics representing homoerotic scenes, besides myths preserved in the oral memory of natives, registered in manuscripts. Chronicles written by the first Europeans to make contact with the Native Americans are another important source of information on this subject, so we’ll be visiting those sources.
Gonzalo Oviedo (Historia General y Natural de las Indias, 1535) reveals that the appetite for the “nefarious vice” was common not only around the Caribbean region but also in Terra Firme, along the coast of what we know now as Venezuela and Colombia “where many Indians, male and female, were sodomites”. In certain parts of this vast territory Oviedo observed that “ the Indians carried with them a piece of gold jewelry representing a man on top of another one, on that diabolic and nefarious act of Sodoma. (…) I saw one of these jewelry pieces weighing twenty pesos of gold, very well carved, apprehended on the Port of Santa Marta, at the coast of Terra Firme, in the year of 1514. (…) Therefore, whom ever value such jewelry and with it compose its own person, will certainly use such evilness routinely with no second thoughts, something that should be considered ordinary and common”.
In 1552, Francisco Gomara mentioned the presence of homosexual icons among Native Americans in Sant Anton, Mexico: “ … it was found, between some trees, a little idol carved in gold and many others made of clay, representing two men mounted on top of each other, à la mode of Sodoma”. At the time of the discovery of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Spaniards found several Mayan sculptures, apparently used in cults devoted to homosexual love: “ … there were many clay idols, some with demonic faces, others with female faces, many more with bad figures that looked like they were practicing sodomy with each other…”.
In Peru, the Spaniards found – and melted – countless gold statues representing sexual intercourse between two men. Currently we can still find many ceramic pieces, water containers, bowls and dishes in which very detailed pre-Incas artists sculptured, in clay, explicit homoerotic scenes. Some three percent of the famous collection of erotic ceramic owned by Family Larco, predating 1000 A.D., are realistic representations of acts of sodomy taking place among men.
More recently, in South America, in the Andean region, archeologists found sculptures and other objects confirming the practice of homosexualism in the New World, way before the arrival of the European colonizer.
Besides the Mexican idols and the Peruvian ceramics, the collection of Mayan Codes, like El Chilan Balam, El Popol Buj and the Mayan Prophecies, are very important pre-Colombian sources for the research of homosexual practices in the three American continents. In the Aztec pantheon, for instance, the goddess Xochiquetzal, an hermaphrodite deity, was a protector of love and sexuality non-conductive to procreation. In her male representation, as the god Xochipilli, he offered protection against sexually transmitted diseases and was the guardian of male sexuality.
Antonio Raquena, the first researcher of the “ sexual anomalies among Native American Indians” concludes: “ accepted or rejected, honored or severely chastised, according to the nation where it was practiced, homosexuality was present from the Bering Strait to the Magalhães (a.k.a. Magellan) Strait”. There are countless testimonies by writers, travelers and missionaries describing the presence of homosexual Indians and transvestites among tribes and nations of what we know now as North America, where their presence was even reproduced in drawings, in the 17th Century.
Among the Native Americans of Brazil there is strong evidence that homosexual practices were part of the mainstream culture, socially accepted before the arrival of the Portuguese colonizers. Among the Tupinambá, a tribe scattered through most of the Brazilian coast line, homosexual Indians were called Tibira, while the lesbians were known as Çacoaimbeguira. According to the Descriptive Treaty of Brazil (1587), the lesbians Natives were “ … very fond of the nefarious sin (…) and the one playing the male role consider herself valiant and calls such bestiality a positive quality. (…) In the sertão settlements these men have public tents, offering their favors as public women”.
Another chronicler of the time, Gandavo, describe the lesbian Indians, in 1576: “ some of them never knew men in any way and would not consent to any men, even when threatened to be killed. These (women) abandoned all female traits and routines to imitate men, performing male duties like they weren’t females. Their hair is cut male style and like any men they go to war and hunt, always in the company of other men. And each one of them has a woman to serve them with whom they claim to be married to.” It is very possible that these very masculine female Indians were mistaken by the Spaniards as the legendary Amazons, a myth successfully propagated through the centuries, though there was never any evidence that could be used to corroborate its veracity.
Among the Guarani nation the Guaicuru and Xamico, tribes located along the Paraguay River, homosexual Indians were found up to the end of the 18th Century: besides acting as transvestites, these gay Indians were totally identified with the life style of the opposite sex. “ (…) These Indians serve others as women, dress like women, work as women, urinate in a sitting position, speak like females, take husbands for whom they care very much and, once a month, go through the ridiculous act of pretending to be menstruating, not eating certain foods, like women, no
fish or meat but only fruits and hearts of palm, going every day to the river carrying a bowl to wash themselves”. The Brazilian Native ethnic groups for whom there are plenty of documentation attesting the practice of homosexuality are Bororó, Camaurá, Cubeo, Guayakil, Guaicuru, Guatos, Kainagaig, Mehinaku, Nhambiquara, Panaré, Tenetehara, Tubira, Tupinambá, Wai-Wai, Xamiko, Xavante and Yanomani.
In spite of violent persecution headed by the Holy Inquisition, European homosexuals found, in the New World, the possibility to practice their sexuality with much less repression than back home. This was possible due to the vast extension of the new territories, the nudity and more liberal sexual life of slaves and Natives, added to the much more lose moral of social undesirables, condemned to exile in the Americas, or who simply crossed the ocean in search of better luck. Other factors also contributed to the facilitation of homosexualism in the recently discovered territories, like for instance, the Holy Inquisition Tribunal of Lisbon sending to Brazil 18% of sodomites condemned to exile. According to some historical sources, the first European sodomite to set foot in the Americas was Estêvão Redondo, a young lad who was a servant for the Governor of Lisbon, D. Manoel Telles. Redondo arrived in Olinda (Northeast of Brazil) in February of 1549, condemned to a lifetime in exile. Another notorious case was that of surgeon Felipe Correia (1558), “an homosexual with obvious cross dressing tendencies”.
As for the involvement of the Catholic Church in homosexualism, this is nothing new, as far as the Americas are concerned: in 1548, among the seven cases of sodomy registered in Guatemala, we can find Deacon Juan Altamirano and his accomplice Friar Jose de Barrera.
Back to Brazil, during two visitations made by the Holy Inquisition of Lisbon to different northeastern Capitanies, between 1591 and 1620, 44 cases of sodomy were registered. Among the denounced 61% were white, 24% were of mixed race, 9% and 6% were blacks and Indians, respectively. Their occupations varied from General Governor of Brazil (Diogo Botelho) to priests, sugar plantation owners, public workers, military men, students, servants and slaves. Close examination of more than four thousand denounces and four hundred sodomy processes archived in the Tombo Tower, in Lisbon, revealed that 283 referred to Brazilians or Portuguese residing in Brazil at the time, accused of practicing “Sodoma’s sin”: among those, 32 were charged and among these 11 were condemned to five years of jail time, others were sentenced to life in prison, and six were exiled to remote areas of the colony or to Africa.
So far no evidence was found that sodomites in Brazil were condemned to death but in 1613 a Tupinambá Indian suffered a most cruel death, ordered by the French invaders. Instigated by capuchins missionaries, the French tied this poor Indian to a cannon, his body completely destroyed by the fatal mortar as a means to “purify the land of all its evilness”. Later on, in 1678, a young black slave was killed “for committing the sin of sodomy”.
When it comes to lesbians, the Holy Inquisition of Portugal excluded, in 1646, ‘sodomia foemiarum’ (female sodomy) of the list of crimes included in its jurisdiction, so most cases of females processed by the tribunal took place up to the end of the 16th Century.
The love that dare not say its name had adepts in all classes, races and ethnic groups of Colonial Brazil, practiced in rich mansions or miserable slave shacks, and also among poor whites; in churches and monasteries, in rural or urban areas, including sporadic contacts and one night stands with different partners or stable relations, some lasting for decades. In spite of civil and canonic draconian legislation against the crime of sodomy, there was room in Colonial America for the emergence of a gay sub-culture, sometimes timid and clandestine, sometimes aggressive and assertive, accommodating even the challenging exhibitionism of transvestites.
The first transvestite in Brazil was a Congolese slave, Francisco Manicongo. A slave of a shoemaker in Salvador, Manicongo was denounced in 1591, during the Holy Inquisition of Lisbon’s visit: “ he refused to dress as a man, following the customs observed in Angola and Congo, where the ones that serve in this nefarious sin as patient women are called quimbanda…”.
After the end of the Portuguese and Spanish inquisitions their respective offices in Hispanic Latin America and also in Brazil are closed, with the repression against homosexuals assuming different routines. Researches done in Brazil, considered one of the least homophobic countries in Latin America, reveals that among all social minorities gays and lesbians are the most hated, a hatred manifested on a continuum including from verbal insults and depreciative treatment in the mass media, to physical violence in the streets, arbitrary arrests and even murderers. In the last fifteen years more than 1200 homosexuals were violently assassinated, victims of homophobic crimes, an average of one murder every five days!...
In order to defend themselves from this silent genocide, and also against the daily discrimination they are forced to live with, gays and lesbians are organizing themselves in movements, aiming to conquer the same human rights heterosexuals are naturally entitled to. In 1978 Brazil enters the scene of the struggle for citizenry for homosexuals with the the emergence of the first organized gay group, Somos, founded in Guarulhos, a working class city located east of São Paulo City. Somos Group quickly spreads to other states in the country. One year after its foundation a faction of this group organizes the LF Lesbico-Feminista, launching a bulletin called Chanacomchana.
At the time the First Brazilian Homosexual Congress took place, in 1980, the country already had more than twenty organized gay and lesbian groups; today they are more than fifty, from the extreme north to the south border of Brazil. The internationally famous Gay Group of Bahia (Grupo Gay da Bahia) was founded in 1980 by anthropologist Luis Mott and other notables in the gay and academic scene of Bahia, today the most combative gay entity in the whole South American continent. In Brazil, only three states and 73 cities included, in its local constitutions, any discrimination based on sexual orientation. It doesn’t look like much, taking in to consideration the size of the country, but it is a great victory for Brazilians homosexuals as a whole who, until the mid 80’s had absolutely no legal protection against discrimination.
This article thanks Brazilian anthropologist Luis Mott for his excellent research on the History of Homosexualism in Latin America.

>I suspect, to challenge, support and/or defend

>other.
There are many ways to practice safe sex. Sexuality.org has a list of them. It is more than just bareback fucking. Some I just can't deal with, such as monogamy. Unprotected oral sex is also another area that many have a conflict with. That is also unsafe and yet not many discuss it as being unsafe. How many clients hire for repeats if an escort uses a condom to suck? I can tell you the answer to that, but you may already know.
Personally, I am not a dildo person. I have never had one up my ass. I have no desire to do so. I don't eat ass. I consider someone that has a dildo shoved up his ass and then down this own mouth as something I would not do. I guess I consider it the same as I do unprotected oral sex. But, in this review you seem to love, I keep reading it over and over and it seems to me that he shoved his own dildo up his ass and then into his mouth. Is that correct? I guess that is a form of unsafe sex. Is also self sucking a form of unsafe sex? I saw this done recently by a guy I met.
I guess each person has to determine where to draw the line on what they call unsafe sex. I have always thought that most agree that it is unprotected anal intercourse.

I want us all to be truthful. Both in profiles and in agendas.

haha. I really did not have sex with him. He slept in my bed many nights and not even one touch. He is a special guy and I respect him and his boundaries.
PS.. This thread is now one of the most popular on the site. I see that BN got the press again. As for me, I think I have answered about as much on this topic as I possibly can. I'll move on to other issues. Anyone see the pictures of Jared from Toronto? Hot.

Reminds me of my college days. I had an initiation of sorts. I love it when someone speaks so pleasant and brings back such fond memories. Thank you!
BTW: the guy's name who was doing the initiation was Clay. He was hot and sexy. I think of Italian decent. From NJ if I remember correctly. And had a nice cock that rose to the occasion when he took public showers. Such memories. Thank you!
Looking for a house in Gay Pattaya
in Gay Thailand
Posted
I have spent the better part of 2 weeks looking for a house in Pattaya. It has been a truly pain in the ass experience. I found one place that the guy wanted to rent but when I offered him his asking price, he said he thought he wanted to sell instead of rent.
I then proceeded to look at other real estate agents in the area. What I found was that no one listens to you. I was very specific in what I wanted. I told them I wanted a 3 bedroom house with a large swimming pool that someone could swim laps in.
I met with 4 agents who set up times with landlords to show me different properties. Not one agent took me to see a property that I wanted. None met with the qualifications of what I told them I wanted.
Finally, I found one that was nice and exactly what I wanted. The price was way more than I wanted to spend but it was the perfect house. I made an offer. It was accepted and I went to sign the contract. The price then changed to include pool and garden fees, which I was told, was part of the rent when I looked at the place. I told them forget it. They came back and said, OK, we will take the offer. That was less than 2 days ago and I have not made my decision. I am not sure that taking the place will not lead to other problems. But......
I wish there was a way to find a place here without it being such a pain.
