So, I'm staying in Shinjuku at the moment. While out wandering around it's impossible not to notice all of the billboards for all of the host clubs with pretty made-up boys. You also see them walking around the street in addition to all of the girls who are all dressed up. I am intrigued but I don't know if they are for women or men. And I suspect they're mostly an operation to separate you from as much of your money for the least amount of work as possible. But I wondered if any of you have experience with these places. Obviously the agencies full of escorts are easy enough and plentiful. So I presume these host clubs are for a different sort of clientele. There seems to be a lot of prostitution in this town. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I finally arrived in Japan a couple of days ago. Jet lag is hitting me today. But I did have a chance to meet "Sho" at Topboy this evening. https://tokyo.topboy-massage.com/staff/kakeru/ The "massage" wasn't much of a massage and he was about 15 minutes late to our appointment. But he's very sweet, handsome and has a very hot, toned little body. And he speaks quite good English. He's studying to be a personal trainer. We did the things I wanted to do and we both came. Setting things up was a good bit of email back and forth of which I will spare you the gory details. But in the end their apartment was quite easy to find and a short walk from my hotel in Shinjuku. For a 90 minute "play course" appointment at their place I paid 21K yen (about US$140) as a first time visitor. I haven't settled on any other meetings yet but I am in Tokyo until Sunday so I have time for a couple of more meetings and I'll have some time in Osaka next week. While of course it's a bit more expensive than Thailand it's not quite as much more than in the past, it was quite a bargain by US standards. I wish I had discovered this option years ago. So many gorgeous boys working for these places...

I think Europe generally is much less hairy than this map implies. And South Asia much more hairy that the map shows

The photographer is typically the most important variable in any photograph. I just picked up the new Google Pixel 9 Pro. Last year's Pixel 8 models had similar camera hardware and computational photography tools. So, you might consider a Pixel 8 since it will be less expensive now. IPhone's have pretty good photography reputations but they're not exactly cheap unless you go for an older model.

I believe this. My guess is that it has ever been thus, but social stigma kept most in the closet. I have a young friend (21) who identifies as bisexual. I think he leans more gay out of some necessity, but I believe him that he is pretty much equally attracted to women and men. He has never had much luck with women but guys love him (including me). He's got lots of issues.

I've been decluttering my home in phases. Now that I've been working from home full time I don't need a lot of clothes I've accumulated over the years. So I donated a car full. And still have too much left. It does feel liberating to get rid of things.

Dear Penthouse Forum, I never thought it would happen to me...

another to add to the list Sunrise Osaka

I wonder if there will be a fee involved? In general I don't have an issue with these ETA requirements if the system is well-implemented. The MFA makes these pronouncements from time to time and then nothing happens. That Japan is planning 5-6 years ahead is fairly striking.

the last time I was at Banana several years ago I seem to recall them telling me that they were transitioning to focus more on traditional massage rather than sex massage.

I trekked out to Lat Phrao to visit M89 spa once a couple of trips ago. I had the impression few farang made the trip but they were easy to work with. Massage guy was quite nice and did a good massage. Room was quite good. It was pretty easy to reach via MRT. But still fairly far from the gay ghetto. I looked at it as an adventure to a part of town I'd never been to before. The TK guys don't seem all that different to the guys elsewhere to me. I'd probably just save my time and go to Saphan Kwai

I'll be there at the end of October for a couple of weeks. Last time I was in Japan I got Covid and didn't get a chance to meet any of these boys. I am hoping to make up for lost time

chance has several branches around the country. It's kind of astounding how many of these places there are with a vast array (according to their photo albums) of handsome young men. I can't wait for my visit in several weeks

It's also relatively inexpensive to hire a guide/driver to take you around the island on a private tour. I've done that twice as I probably noted above somewhere. The guide I used is bisexual I think. He's got a wife and family (conservative culture) but he knows people. He's a nice guy but a bit high strung. There's another guy I met who works for a different tour company who is a lot more laid back and would probably be my first choice if I could get away with it...the other guy would be very upset if I went back to Sri Lanka and went with another guide I believe.
