Part 3 So at my niece’s insistence we left Phnom Penh before schedule and I must say our assessment of Cambodia was/is very different. While I like country a lot and it’s one of my favorites she doesn’t share my enthusiasm at all. That way we found two issues our opinions vary fundamentally – Cambodia and Italian food. She gladly accepted my suggestion to go to Pattaya straight from airport and we had a luck of Jomtien bus departing in few minutes with still few seats left so it was seamless transfer to Jomtien bus station. As I mentioned we settled for Zing hotel (not Zing Resort in Jomtien Complex) half way between Jomtien and Pattaya an secured rooms in different wings for added security and discretion. Rest of day we spent in Pattaya walking along Beach road , visiting Wat Chai and even braving to Walking Street in early evening before supper together and retiring to hotel. In meantime I contacted certain guy from Dreamboys I saw few times before and I’m very fond of both him and certain part of his body. He confirmed he is in Pattaya and is willing to visit me in my room to see recent stamp acquisitions. He asked me to pick him up from bar to which I answered ‘yes, but it may not happen before midnight” , “I wait you “ was the answer. I was actually able to get there past 10.30 , paid off fee and we both went to XBoys for their show at his insistence. As usual very progressive with special show and plenty cock on display but since it was almost the same we watched in Jun he suggested we move to hotel after about 40 minutes inside. In order to maintain security we went there by two separate motorsais and entered lobby like two guest who happen to be at the door at the same time. Few hours of fun and he left but not before I secured his arrival for next two nights, idea he seemed to like as well. It’s low season after all and when I picked him up from bar there were only 4 other customers and three times as much boys on the stage. Next day , Friday , was liberation day as at noon niece’s local friends picked her up for promised weekend at Sattahip which created two days gap when I could feel free man again. While day times I wasted being busy doing nothing , only interruption was massage in Burirom Spa by Dick’s Café with guy I spied while feasting on chicken with cashews at Sophia’s. It was a bit of spectacle as I tried to trigger his attention to no avail but when finally approached him , he was all smiles. Massage was very good indeed, he must have some training but extra’s were quite cursory. No complains from me though as not only massage was great , so was his body clearly showing that when he mentioned daily exercises , he meant it. One evening I sat for an hour in Boyztown to see business there being very slow, another one I went for the show in one of Jomtien Complex bars, nothing exciting but I had their employee sitting with me to keep my hands somewhat busy during spectacle. Unfortunately Max is no longer performing at The Best Bar so no Maxhunt this trip. At night I hosted my Dreamboy guy and we had very good time together. Last years August trip was bit of disaster, this year it was pure and undiluted pleasure. After three nights in Pattaya it was time to return to Bangkok, niece being delivered there by her friends to her super luxurious room at Conrad and I, being poor pensioner settled in Quart Ruam Rudee hotel nearby. We noticed that we can see each other's window, good thing both secured by heavy drapes.

Part 2 Flying to Phnom Penh I was praying that I get room on different floor than my niece as we were staying in the same, Okay Boutique Hotel. I couldn’t imagine not visiting Space bar when there and since I got lucky there in the past I thought it’s better to be prepared just in case. There’s that saying that girls have special kind of intuition and before we made Phnom Penh bookings she suggested instead of booking 6 nights we should book 3 and 3. Why ? In case of cancellation . WTF thought I but went along and glad I did. When we finally met in hotel she told me she made mistake of starting Cambodia sightseeing with trip to Killing Fields and it moved her a lot. I was not surprised as I recalled my own reaction when I was there first time back in 2001. Truth emerged that while for me Cambodia is one of my most favorite countries, for her is not much fun to be there and can we please go to Thailand after tomorrow instead of at end of week. Now 3+3 instead of 6 made sense as we could cancel reservation for second batch of ‘3’. Isn’t is fun to travel with niece ? Then another revelation came - her friends invited her for weekend in Sattahip and Guardian Angel passing by enlightened me to suggest her they will pick her up from Pattaya so she may have unplanned chance of seeing that world class , family friendly resort. Surprisingly she liked an idea so we made flight rebooking and reserved rooms in Zing hotel which is not only my favorite there recently but also has very safe location half way between Jomtien and Boyztown. On top of it has two wings, south and north and uncle i. e. me skilfully steered her to book her room in different wing then me, just in case. As for security in Phnom Penh, hotel did good job giving me room few floors lower then hers and facing opposite side of center so sneaking to Space bar all the sudden become viable option . Rest of day we spent sightseeing, went to Royal Palace and National Museum , next day Central and Russian markets , few temples as well as evening cruise on Mekong which finished exactly when deluge started so we had excellent introduction to rainy season coming to hotel completely wet. Sneaking to Space Bar proved easy as by 10 pm. she was in her room if not in her bed and uncle could easily make a short tuk-tuk trip there. As it was mid week bar was not that busy so I could get attention of resident hunks, drinks aplenty on me and working diligently to land somebody to give me a ride to my hotel but I haste to say, it did not work as intended. But I had tons of fun as boys are playful but not obnoxious and requests for more drinks or God forbid , tips, are not existent there . In short , fun, no pressure. As for companionship I think I get how they operate, guys are playful and skilfully creating some hope so one stays and buys more drinks, they when is time to close , all of the sudden some excuse is invented, catching early bus to provinces on 1st night, starting shift at work at 6 am on 2nd night . But it’s all done in funny way without any hint of sleaze or malice and I must say I liked it even if I did not score.

Part 1. I can sense everybody reading the tittle of report must be thinking ‘ poor vinapu travelling with some rebellious teenager, did he lost his mind?” In fact , not so. My niece is approaching 40, is well established professional working for multinational and most important- we like each other. So even if that trip would be without chance to see any boy up close ., most likely I would like it anyways. Before we set off we reminded ourselves old rule I learned in my university years when I was travelling with friends : “ we are travelling together but each one of us is on his/ hers own vacations”. First signal that she intends to apply that principle was her choice of hotels. Knowing Bangkok has very good value on those she opted for some luxurious digs there, clearly knowing they are beyond my pay range. I got the message as meaning of that was clear – we need our own personal space and I liked it so I opted for cheaper options nearby. My hopes for some fun went up when she told me she knows some people in Bangkok through her work and they promised her to show sights. When she chose Conrad, I found much , much cheaper Quart Ruamrudee in soi Ruam Rudee nearby. After she moved to Centre Point by Saphan Taksin I found new hotel named Hotei Park Silom-Suriwong and then , bravely to Raya. More about new hotel later , I may even create devoted thread as it’s very new and unknown to most of us. We were supposed to meet in Bangkok as she lives in different country than me, after few days go to Cambodia for a week and then return to Bangkok for few days in my case and even few more in hers. That plan was ruined just before departure as my Wednesday flight was cancelled and they couldn’t place me on another flight until Sunday, Quite a delay. So when I landed in Bangkok on Monday evening she was already in Phnom Penh since morning sticking to original schedule. No harm done. Good thing about travelling in low season is that it’s very easy to find accommodation , even on very short notice I managed easily to re-book my Monday morning flight to day later and that way my 40Th trip to Thailand become shortest one ever. Landing at 22.00 and leaving country for Cambodia at 11.30 am next morning , total 13.50 hrs on Thai soil. Arrival was very pleasant affair as senior lane was empty so I was stamped in perhaps 40 seconds. Because of nature of this trip -having girl companion meant I couldn’t plan any boy meetings and decided to play by ear from thee start and see what can be done. It turned out perfectly well as my girl turned out not to be too nosy and also inclined to retire to her room reasonably early so usually around 9-9.30 pm I was free to pursue my own goals. In June as some may recall from my report I met Dreamboy boy who turned out to be one I was stalking on Grindr for some time. We hit it on then and since I had his Line on the train from airport I took chance and messaged him “if you in Bangkok can I see you tonight? “. Response was immediate and enthusiastic ‘yes’. He asked me to pick him up from the bar, easy task as when my flight was cancelled and I realized I will be free man on my first and only night I cancelled original booking in Quart and booked one night in Raya. So about two hours after landing I went to pick up my guy and fun started, We hit it on in Jun and this time we hit it in even more so I made silent decision that I will settle on only one – THAT ! boy this trip. Wisely I kept it to myself as another opportunity opened later. At 7.30 am he asked to go home which considering I had flight to catch in 4 hrs worked well. This was our modus operandi this trip – meet at midnight and part ways at 7.30. My boy is very disciplined and sticks to dietary and exercise regime and this worked well considering nature of this trip.

84 baht breakfast at Foodland now. My guy and I didn't sleep much last night in 3rd floor room at 56 Surawong because traffic from Surawong Road was loud and non-stop. Walls not thick enough to block out noise from outside. I don't know if walls are thick enough to block out noise from inside! No complaints from guests in other rooms about acrobatics in my room! Roll back 12 hours. My plane touched down in Bangkok at 7pm and there were many arrivals at immigration. A quick thinking lady officer decided to open priority lanes so as to shorten the queues. Great work! Airport train and BTS were not crowded on a Thursday evening and I reached Sala Daeng BTS at 8.15pm. I decided to walk past Soi Thaniya to get to 56 Surawong and the Thaniya ladies were all out and ready unlike the gay gogo bars which only get going after 10pm. After checking into 56 Surawong, I made my way to Sun Massage for pre-arranged 1-hour massage session with Vietnamese muscle guy who speaks Mandarin well. "You go to bar now," he said to me knowingly after we finished showering together at 9.55pm. The converse happened when I entered Freshboys and met my guy. "You go massage before you come here." Maybe it was my glowing appearance. Maybe it was smell of aroma oil. Or maybe everyone knows what a slut I am. Freshboys was moderately busy. Not overflowing with customers but fair selection of single customers, two high rollers and some groups (a group of 3 farang lady tourists and a mixed Chinese group of 5 with shopping bags who invited two guys to sit with them and have drinks. According to my guy, they came last night and invited the same two guys). Lady boss came to say hi and toast one of high rollers who had two guys seated with him. My guy says he comes every night. Another high roller had 4 guys drinking with him in corner. About 30 guys working including many new faces - Myanmar and Laos. Vietnam representation continue to decline as one of my favourite guys went on visa run to Laos so he's away 2 nights. My timing was excellent. I stepped into the bar at 10pm, got a seat, said hi to mamasan and invited my regular guy down from stage. I showed mamasan 3 fingers to mean that I was offing my guy for 3 nights. A few minutes later, the show began. Unfortunately, the opening act was no longer high energy gogo dancing but a lip synching diva performance. Then came a solo sexy dance with big cock visible. This was followed by 3 guys in tiny red bikinis below and sequinned coats on top and they were dancing to The Wonder Girls "Nobody but you". Very strange performance and my guy told me this was new addition which the 3 guys had been rehearsing the past 2 weeks. Lip synching diva performance next. But next 3 performances showed cocks galore with lots of sucking. This is what Freshboys is known for and customers come to watch this. After the first show ended at 10.45pm, the guys went up the stage on rotation. I checked my bill. 2300 baht. Off fees for my guy for 3 nights - 3 x 500 = 1500 baht, my drink and my guy's drink = 2 x 400 = 800 baht. I told a waiter I wanted to pay up. Mamasans were busy entertaining VIP guests. I paid with three 1000-baht notes. I got back a 500-baht note, a 50-baht note, two 20-baht notes and lots of 10-baht coins. To my surprise, I didn't get back any 100-baht notes. I collected the 500-baht note, tipped the waiter with the 50-baht note and left the rest behind. I had to dig into my pocket to get some 100-baht notes to tip mamasan and several guys on stage as I walked past them out of bar and went to hotel.

On my last trip I tried this brand new hotel, yes name spells Hotei and can recommend it with whole heart. They are still working on the lobby so during day it was some construction but it should be over very soon. It's small place - just two rooms per floor but there's elevator. Located on corner of Narathiwas and Suriwong , steps from Amara and Red Planet. During day somebody should be on reception, if not there's clear instruction how to call somebody and they will show up in 5 minutes if not sooner. At night entry by card only, either from street side or from the back and it makes ideal place for those who price discretion. Sign says ' no overnight guests allowed" but how they police that is unclear. Nobody said the word when my gest was leaving around 11 am one morning. Rooms is quite big and despite facing street quiet enough to sleep comfortably. Only thing I would like to see is safety deposit box but one can't have everything I guess. Perhaps in future ? If you want your room cleaned you need to put sign outside, otherwise they don't bother but will hang a bag with 2 bottles of water, pack of napkins and roll of toilet paper on your know. I actually liked that system very much. Next door is hostel with restaurant where one can have a breakfast for 159 baht, plenty of food options in Silom market nearby. Bit of walk from Patpong bars an to BTS but nothing to make you or your boy tired. Two 7/11 within 2 minutes walk. Few pictures below:

Still traveling through South America (I’m in Rio now, review on that coming later), but wanted to share some notes on the places I’ve already hit: Iguazú Falls 🌊🌴 The Falls: Did the Argentina side only — miles of trails, tons of spray, and every bit as breathtaking as expected. Where I Stayed: Stayed in Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) which was an easy base. Extra Adventure: Crossed into Ciudad del Este, Paraguay for a night of drinking — no passport stamps needed for a quick visit. Gritty but a fun little side trip. Tip: Wear good shoes and be ready to get wet — it’s part of the experience. Curitiba 🇧🇷 City Vibe: Clean, organized, with a European feel. Lots of green space and felt pretty safe.... I'd come back here again. Gay Nightlife: Club 773 Sauna – Younger/rougher crowd, good cruising. Best nights: Tuesday, Friday, Sunday. Opinião Sauna – One of the oldest in Brazil, has a solid following and still delivers. Best nights: Wednesday, Saturday. Porto Alegre 🇧🇷 City Vibe: Southern flavor, kind of a blend between Brazilian and Argentine influences. Gay Nightlife: Sauna Lux – Old-school setup, but surprisingly lively. Met a cutie there who was new to the sauna scene and… let’s just say he was enthusiastic. 😉 Wrap-Up (So Far) ✈️ Iguazú = jaw-dropping nature + easy three-country hopping. Curitiba = saunas with clearly defined “hot nights.” Porto Alegre = Sauna Lux was good Now in Rio de Janeiro, which I’ll cover separately once I’ve got more time, too many hot guys with big dicks, not enough time 🤷‍♂️ 2025-09-09 13.09.16.mp4

I recently stumbled upon a thread on naughty-nieces.com where a woman wrote about her visit to Thailand and Cambodia with her uncle and how she professionally managed to maneuver her sexcapades around her uncle who luckily only wanted to stay at the hotel room and talk about politics in Tuvalu.

Part 4 Last 8 days of this trip were in Bangkok and were strictly divided between tourist part at day time and night time debaucheries , at least on my side. Looks I mastered logistics of hide and seek game to championship level and looking back even I myself am amazed that I managed to visit each bar at least once and get boy each night. Dreamboy / Grindr boy I saw on my first night become my semipermanent companion night after night as we hit it on excellently. He seem to like me and I liked him a lot. Personality, body, endowment and attitude, all top notch. When I heard on our second night “ my body is for you to enjoy” I knew it would be idiocy not to get hooked to him without any need to look for alternatives. I kept enough sense though that I contacted him about visit in the evening , not day in advance as on two nights I found suitable alternative. On the stage at Atlas I spot guy I saw in Jupiter last November and was extremely happy with him then. He was as surprised to see me as I was to see him there as I knew from common friend he worked as freelance masseur in some shop in northern Bangkok. I guess old saying ‘ you can chase boy from bar but not bar from boy “ applied to some degree. I did not off him from Atlas that night but left pleasure of hosting him to two nights when my nice was going to booked tours to Kanchanaburi and Railway market. I was in both places so used excuse of being poor pensioner to skip them in order to stay within budget. That was official version and was well received. True reason was more sinister – Atlas guy is not a time watcher so I picked up those nights preceding her tours so I could enjoy his company longer. And longer it was indeed. I saw him on two nights and other six were filled by Dreamboy / Grindr guy who also visited me in late afternoon on my last day. Officially I needed some time to pack and get good night sleep before early morning flight home which in real life translated to 3 hours with guy, dinner and visits to Moonlight and Jupiter then 3 hours sleep before waking up and taking taxi to Swampy. One day when my niece had urge to check newly opened Central Park mall underneath Dusit Thani hotel I suggested she will do that part alone as I hate going to stores if I have nothing to buy and she agreed , likely relieved that old fart won’t be complaining that it takes that long. Little she knew I used that 2 hours of freedom to visit Senso where I picked up guy with broadest smile who turned out to be another guy I follow on Grindr. Massage was great but extras not so much but with such excellent night companions little I cared about extras. As reported in Patpong thread Senso now uses all inclusive price 2900 / hr, 3300 / 1.5 hrs. I won’t be saying anything about bar visits here because I reported them all in ‘Patpong comings and goings” thread. One thing I always wanted to do is Ayuthaya trip with dinner cruise to Bangkok on return and one day we took it for 2300 a head. Great idea to kill the day although if one is interested in ruins of Ayuthaya individual tour would be much better as program included only 3 sites there. Cruise was not from Ayuthaya but it started on outskirts of Bangkok but it was leisurely 3 hours on the river with buffet lunch and we liked it a lot. Beer aboard was 190, still cheaper than 400-500 in bars. To summarize , it were great 2 weeks and I felt like 2 separate trips , one during day and another after dark. Trying to stick to my agenda on niece’s watch was bit tiring and requiring careful planning and keeping mouths shot but few things helped – her clear desire to have her own personal time reflected by her choice of hotels she knew I will not want to stay at because of pricing, fact that she had local friend who it seem were keen on keeping her entertained but also discipline of my semi permanent guy who made sure to leave room at 7.30 because his meal and exercise routine. That made easy to be ready for breakfast together and daily portion of sightseeing. Biggest mystery for me was how I managed to survive all that physically but I guess my adrenaline production went to overdrive. Who would think that trip to Bangkok with niece will be serious contender to best Thai trip ever ? Good news is , while she did not like Cambodia, she seem to get Thailand bug and already mentioned about another trip next year

I don’t know why we don’t have a USA forum, but since we don’t, I’ll just post this here. I’ve been in Philly for a month. I am from just across the river in South Jersey and I lived here in the 80s. Came out in 1977 and the streets were filled with sex. When I lived here in the 80s, pre-AIDS, sex was also everywhere, but once AIDS hit, things calmed down somewhat, though there were still many public places to have sex along with bookstores, bath houses, arcades, etc. Now, things have change. There are still a few parks and public places, a few bath houses and a few arcades, but nothing like what it used to be. Apps have taken over. I am 65 years old, well past my prime, but recently getting back in shape and not bad looking. This is a rundown of my experience and some tips for visitors. Apps: Grindr is a huge scam operation now, but I did make a few contacts. One cute young Latino with a nice dick who hit me up the next day for a repeat. But the scammers are out of control. Sniffies seems to be much more popular here than where I live in California. Perhaps because this is a big city and where I live is more suburban. I made many many contacts through Sniffies. The thing I like is you can see where they are. Also, the scammers haven’t taken over like they have Grindr. I’m currently waiting for a bi married guy I had a great time with the other night to tell me when he wants me to go back to his hotel for another round. He found me three weeks ago before he came to Philly on a business trip and told me when he’d be here. I didn’t actually believe he would follow through, but we had the best time and I can’t wait to see him again tonight. However, Sniffies did have a problem with guys who would contact me, express interest, even go so far as to set up a day and time, and then either ghost me or block me. It happened enough and others told me it happened to them, that I believe it was not just a fluke. Something about the app and the guys here. So it’s something to be aware of. Jack’d is popular with men of color and those who like them. I also had a few hits there. Met one guy, who was a disappointment. Was contacted by a few others who seemed promising but never came though. Baths There are two bathhouses in Center City - I went to Club Philly last Sunday evening. It’s half off on Sundays after 4 (also during the week at lunch time) - you have to get a membership (daily membership is $10) and then room or locker is extra. For a room last Sunday it was $30. The crowd was sparse, and tended towards older, but I played with a few hot older guys. Ended up sucking off a hot daddy (if he’s younger than me is he still a daddy) who after we finished saw my Italian horn on a chain that I wear and said, “Italian?” When I said yes, he said, “figures. With that mouth.” Hmmm…I don’t know if it was a compliment or not. He then called me “Sal”. I think he was kind of jerk, but he had a nice dick and I enjoyed sucking him off. Club Philly is several floors with quite a few play areas. It seems to get very busy on the weekend with a line out the door waiting to get in. As has been my experience around the world, the front desk staff is not friendly at all. But don’t let them deter you. It is worth a visit. Escorts I did make contact with a few on Grindr and Sniffies but never followed through. I thought I had an agreement with one guy and then he never got back to me. His loss, since I was willing to pay. He was asking $100 for me to suck him. He had a beautiful body and cock. I didn’t bother to check the official escort pages because I knew they were out of my range. I think there are quite a few guys available for hire if you can figure out how to do that. I had a bad experience here a few years ago, so I have been more cautious about who I invite to my place (I’m in an Airbnb where I am not supposed to have guests). I have been very sexually active while here, and while not all were people I’d want to see again, it has been fun to feel desirable at my age. My married friend told me I was the best sex he ever had with a man. So,if you are looking for a US city to visit and if sex is one of the things you would hope to find, I’d say put Philly on your list. There are also many other wonderful things about the city - great architecture, theater, arts, museums, parks, and restaurants galore. Lots of neighborhoods to explore beyond Center City. I may be biased but it is up there on my top five list of favorite cities in the world. I also love the people. Friendly, but blunt and direct. I always know where I stand with Philadelphians (unlike people in California, who confuse the hell out of me). If you come, avoid the heat of summer (or dead of winter) - late August/early September has been very nice, a few hot days, but mostly pleasant. Lots of hot young college boys running around in short shorts and/or shirtless, so there is always eye candy. Definitely put Philadelphia on your list.

My guy and I didn't sleep well on the first night at 56 Surawong but once we got used to the noise of traffic, it was no problem sleeping. I noticed quite a number of Japanese guests with their golf bags. I never expected them to stay at such a simple hotel. Maybe they are economising and saving money. Just like me! Next to 56 Surawong is Le Meridien but I have stopped staying there. Too expensive for me. 56 Surawong at less than US$50 per night is probably the best deal for a room in Patpong area.

I visited 1/0 sauna on Saturday afternoon 3pm to 4pm. Better facilities than Sauna Mania because new. 2 levels of dark room maze on levels 4 and 5. Level 2 is locker area and reception. Level 1 is sauna and hot pool. Level 6 is outdoor smoking area. Level 3 is bar area. The only downside is that there's no gym. 300 baht for admission. About 15 guys, half locals and half tourists. Quiet afternoon. I watched 3 local guys sucking and and jerking each other. Also two guys - a Thai twink and a bearish Asian daddy (Korean?) - were having light fun and letting others watch - but they finally adjourned to a cubicle and locked the door for fucking action. The only Chinese customers were two young guys checking out the premises. I had read online reports that mainly Chinese customers but not true during my visit. Perhaps the crowd comes in only at night.

Wow...I had the best massage today at S'sense. The room had a proper massage table and shower which I like. However, you do have to climb up 2 floors to get to the room 😒 The masseur was cuter then his picture on Line. He had the boy next door look and spoke good english. The massage started normally with him fully clothed and he worked on my back and shoulder in a very professional manner...I was like shit, is this going to be a regular massage and he spent a long time there 😅 As hope faded, he began to work on the lower body. As he flipped over the towel to expose half my ass...he began to work tirelessly on my calves and thigh. At this point of time, I consoled myself "ok, his skills are quite good. I just take it as a regular massage then"... But what was that touch dangerously close to my anus...was that an accident??? No, it can't be because he rubbed his thumb there again and again 🫢 I waited in anticipation for the magical phrase...sadly it never came as he began to work on the other side 😓 The same touch again but now more brazen, but his mouth remained tightly sealed. Is he going to just tease me to death on the table 😭 He then began to start wiping down my legs...in my heart I was thinking, does it mean that the session have ended! As despair set in, he told me to turn over. A flicker of hope sprang up only to be crushed ruthlessly when he began to massage without saying a word 🥲 Silently, I willed him to say the magic words but he still never did. It was hellish 💀 As i resigned myself to fate as a victim of severe teasing, the words I wanted to hear most came out! "Sir, do you want extra service? Handjob or B2B." I could only hoarsely cried out "Yes!!!" What followed was the best time I had in Bangkok so far as he stripped revealing a perfectly toned lean body and a cock so thick, my hand can't even encircle it completely...and my hand is considered pretty big among my friends 🤭

You want me to “be specific and substantiate my claims”? Cute. It’s almost like you slept through the last 4 years.... or are you trying to play, and be like @Olddaddy? Undermining elections: Trump pressured Georgia’s Secretary of State to “find 11,780 votes”, pushed fake electors, and tried to strong-arm Pence into tossing out certified results. That’s not democracy — that’s an attempted coup. Stripping rights: He rolled back LGBTQ protections (trans military ban, healthcare), chipped away at voting rights through DOJ positions and gerrymander-friendly courts, and stacked the deck against reproductive rights. Packing courts: Sure, presidents nominate judges — but Trump and McConnell rammed through lifetime appointments at record speed, including judges rated unqualified by the ABA, after stonewalling Obama’s nominees (remember Garland?). That’s not normal, it’s stacking the judiciary for minority rule. the 2nd Amendment as a “firewall against tyranny,”?? When Trump literally tried to overthrow an election, all those “patriots” with their arsenals didn’t fight tyranny — they enabled it.

Hey all. I've been travelling around a fair bit in the past few weeks, so thought I'd share brief reports in the next few weeks on my experience at some of the places I travelled to. I was in Sao Paulo and Rio recently (you may have seen me posting a couple of weeks/months earlier asking questions on Rio). As a disclaimer, I was actually more occupied with non-sexual touristic activities (which I will not bore you with), so there's probably not as much I can report on regarding the sex scene. Sao Paulo I was here just for 3 nights (weekend) and stayed at Intercity The Universe Paulista - close enough to walk to Av Paulista but far enough to not be troubled by noise etc. I had no problem bringing in a guy (without registration) much like most hotels Thailand. Garoto com local - I only hired one guy from the site who came to my room. A little on the higher end when it comes to fees - BRL 500 but I think it was worth it. The guy is a professional model, tall, muscular, masculine and gay. Told him what I was into and he was able to do all of it. I had a good time with him. The models on the site that I contacted mostly quoted prices between BRL450 and 500 (with one quoting BRL 800 and some didn't even reply). Lagoa - this is the only sauna I went to during my short time at SP. I went there on all 3 nights (around 8pm) and found there to be a good number of guys on each night, a good mix of different types of guys. I had one guy here, muscular top straight guy but can kiss, do foreplay on top of the usual sex. He quoted a higher rate when he approached me but agreed to BRL 200. There were a few other guys who approached me with the same rate, but I either didn't have the time on this short trip or the guy was just not my type. One of the guys asked me to join him for drinks at a nearby bar after Lagoa lol. All in all, I found most of the guys here to be quite relaxed and friendly. (Info for 1st timers - you collect your towel and locker key at the counter. The key comes with a locker number which will be used to purchase drinks and rooms. You'll get two large towels and a pair of slippers. Tips to the guys you take are paid in cash separately to the guys and the other payment for drinks, rooms etc. will be paid at the counter either by cash or credit card). Apps - there are a lot of guys for hire on Grindr. I've had a few chats but didn't really hire anyone there. Rio I was in Rio for 4 nights during the weekdays and stayed at Grand Mercure Copacabana. Prior to the trip, I contacted the hotel to enquire on their visitor policy and they confirmed that I can have visitors at the room but the visitors will have to register at the reception. Unfortunately, I was not able to test this out as the guys I had were all at the saunas. Clube 117 - I went here on Tuesday and Thursday around 8pm. While it is obviously more crowded on Tuesday with guests (free rooms), I found that on both nights they have a good selection of guys of different types. I had two guys here on separate occasions, each for BRL 200. Both were muscular tops with good physique, handsome looks. The 1st guy was unfortunately not a good experience for me. We had used the translator to communicate what I was looking for and he was ok with it but during the session, he said he doesn't do certain things. When I showed him our earlier translated conversation, he insisted it wasn't what I understood it to mean. Not sure if it was a genuine miscom or just him being sneaky but I cut the session short and just paid him his fees to save myself the headache. Fortunately, the 2nd guy was better. He was upfront about what he can and can't do, and I had a good time with him. He was more passionate during the session and was overall a pleasant guy (during and after the session). At both session, the room was not really cleaned properly that the models had to call for one of the guys working there to change the sheets etc. (Info for 1st timers - you collect your locker key at the counter. The key comes with a locker number which will be used to purchase drinks and rooms. Once you go downstairs, the worker at the locker will hand you two towels and a pair of slippers. Tips to the guys you take are paid in cash separately to the guys and the other payment for drinks, rooms etc. will be paid at the counter either by cash or credit card.) Point 202 - I was here Monday and Wednesday nights around 8pm. Some similar faces seen at 117 but generally I find the selection of guys to be more limited. I didn't take anyone from my visits here though so I can't report on the rooms etc.(Info for 1st timers - you collect your locker key at the counter.

At both saunas, they had good drag shows during the time I was there. I like the overall floor setup of 117 (sauna/steam room and shower at lower floor, bar and porn room/lounge at separate sections of the ground floor, and other rooms for fun at the top floor) compared to Point 202 (you'd need to cross the bar to go the top floor where the sauna is). Apps - there were a lot more guys for hire and normal guys just looking for sex that contacted me. Compared to SP, I find the guys on the apps in Rio to be easier to approach. That's pretty much it on my report for this trip. Hope it'll be helpful to those making their way there. I'm already making plans for my next trip to Brazil 😬

I spent an enjoyable weekend in Belo Horizonte in early September. It was great returning to this wonderful city after my last visit in 2022 and taking the chance to indulge in some of the best food Brazil has to offer. The rain limited my options for outdoor activities, so I focused on visiting the saunas and the lively Mercado Central. This bustling indoor market is always a highlight for me - wandering through the stalls, grabbing a drink, and savouring freshly grilled meat. Saturdays are especially vibrant, with the bars packed full of cheerful locals enjoying a few beers. Sauna Olimpo Olimpo has changed a lot since my last visit. Back in 2022, GPs weren’t allowed, but now they’re back in force. Around 15 boys worked both Friday and Saturday, ranging in looks and body types. The system is simple: boys wear blue towels, clients wear white. Rates were between 100 and 150 reais. I usually went with the 150 option, and it paid off—the boys were eager, accommodating, and gave solid service. The sauna itself is well-run. There’s a good-sized dry sauna, a hot steam room, and a dark cruising maze with several free cabins for quick action. If you want more privacy, there are 5 larger paid suites with clean sheets, perfect for longer sessions. The bar had a fun, relaxed vibe. Regulars like the older guys playing cards in the corner added a nice touch. Music was upbeat pop, with a live DJ Friday and Saturday, and he even checked in with me to ask if the volume was OK. The entertainment was fun. Friday night had drag queen bingo, which kept the energy playful. Saturday night featured an interactive stripper who walked around pouring tequila down customers’ throats, then shoved his hard cocks in the same mouths. Each interaction lasted a couple of minutes. I’ll admit, tequila never tasted so good. Sunday evening was a completely different scene. By 8 p.m. the venue was overflowing with younger clients, most of whom were busy with each other. Towels had even run out by the time I arrived. With the towel system no longer in play, it was nearly impossible to distinguish GPs. Fortunately, I’d already had my share of fun earlier at Sauna 1097, so I was content to enjoy Olimpo’s facilities with a drink. The reception staff were very welcoming, and for my next visit, I’ll ask in advance if there are themed parties that don’t include GP. Sauna 1097 My visit to 1097 on Sunday was a pleasant surprise. I’d found it dingy in the past, with weak facilities and a selection of skinny, rough-looking boys. This time, though, the GPs were better than Olimpo’s: young, lean, muscular guys who were eager and energetic. The facilities aren’t as polished—sauna and steam could use maintenance, and there are no paid suites—but they do have six free rooms that work fine for quick or extended sessions. The vibe at 1097 is more straightforward: it’s easy to connect with the boys, negotiate, and get down to business. I enjoyed two hot sessions with a stunning 19-year-old and then with a fit 23-year-old GP. With Olimpo and 1097 just 10 minutes apart, it’s easy to do both in the same evening. On Sunday, I went to 1097 around 4:30 p.m., then headed to Olimpo by 8 p.m. That combination worked perfectly—and looking back, I wish I’d done the same on Friday and Saturday instead of sticking to just one.

Time flies qucikly and there goes the weekend! Writing this while waiting for plane. Visited two new places on Friday and Saturday afternoon - 1/0 and Side. Would love to visit at night in future but that would mean not being with my regular guy. And the whole point of weekend visits is to see each other. We did the usual stamp collection updates but something new that we did was a trip to Lumpinee Stadium in north Bangkok to watch muay Thai boxing. We took one and half hours by BTS (18 stops) and taxi ride to stadium. More locals than tourists unlike the muay Thai boxing at Rajarendaram Stadium (which is near Khao San Road). There are more fights at Lumpinee Stadium (12 fights compared to 8 fights and besides muay Thai, there is also MMA (mixed martial arts) and kickboxing. The focus is on the fights and the atmosphere at times became feral and bloodthirsty. My guy enjoyed himself a lot but he disliked the long journey where we were in packed BTS trains with evening passengers going home.

I think for 21 inches more than poppers are required! Perhaps a needle and thread later also.

Happy to report that Winner Bar in Sunee Plaza has about 9 boys, most of whom are new, now dancing on stage. Good time to visit.

I tried prestige massage too. Their location is easily accessible since it's just a couple of minutes walk from Chong Nonsi station. I'm actually very impressed by their facilities and service. The reception was friendly and they have an elevator which means you don't have to climb up the stairs. This was great since my massage room was on the 5th floor and it was large, modern and clean. The masseur was handsome, spoke good english and became quite chatty once we warmed up to each other. I can only say that his massage skills is the best I had. Apparently he was a sport science student and he applied what he learned to his work. I had a terribly aching shoulder after some awkward positioning the previous night and came out feeling so much better. Throughout the process, he also provide explanations on some of the massage techniques he used and the rationale behind it. My body was like jelly after the session as he worked out all the knots ☺️ But he did not offer any extras and when I asked him why, he simply said he don't want his clients coming to him for extras. He wants to be booked because of his skills 🫡 The minimum tip was 200 and I gave him 600 (wanted to give more but I was running out of cash 😅). Planning to visit him again before I leave just because he is good at his craft 😁

OK I just came back from Side. Was there 1 hour but I was mostly drinking coffee in cafe area. Visited cruising area 20 minutes. Layout and facilities exactly like in YouTube video. Only 5 guys in cruising area on a Friday afternoon 3pm to 4pm. Another 5 on phones or laptops at cafe area. All local guys because they spoke Thai. No action in cruising area. Difficult to do so because everyone is fully clothed and holding cups of coffee wandering around! And everyone was holding handphone. No restriction on handphone use. The visit ended up like a museum visit. 🤣 Maybe it will get interesting at night. 🙈 Cost is 200 baht inclusive of a free drink. There is also currently a buy one get one free visit within next one month.

I keep thinking of that old expression: live by the sword, die by the sword. 🤷‍♂️

What about all those countries which do not have a 2nd amendment, yet are living in peace? What about tyrannical Trump who is trying his best to control free speech by using the justice system and trying to have media licences revoked? What about those tourists being stopped at the border, having their social media accounts checked and then denied entry into America if any anti-Trump comments are discovered? There goes my planned trip to Hawaii, Any semblance of free speech died when Trump came to power. He's following in the steps of the dictators he admires so much. You can forget the 2nd amendment! And to say that the death of innocent people, including school children, is the price to pay for the amendment is strange indeed, coming from a so-called Christian. I would have thought 'Thou shalt not kill' would take precedence.

I don't like that practice of giving change with plenty of 10 baht coins and Freshboys is only bar doing that regularly hoping, as we see above, not without merit , that all coins will be left behind. Not with me, on my last visit it was the same , ten 10 baht notes in change and I laboriously collected and pocketed all of them placing 20 baht note instead as a tip. I think it's not fair to boys on the stage when waiter it tipped the same 100 baht for just bringing the drink they are tipped for presenting their enlarged members on the stage. Havre fun and don't worry about thin walls at 56 Surawong

This is a straight forward point of view, saw this online: BREAKING: Journalist and college professor Stacey Patton goes viral by penning a stunningly powerful statement about how she was on Charlie Kirk’s “digital hit list” and recounting the horror that he inflicted on her. We cannot allow this tragic assassination to whitewash Kirk’s legacy… “I am on Charlie Kirk’s hit list,” Patton wrote to her 215,000 followers on Facebook. “His so-called ‘Professor Watchlist,’ run under the umbrella of Turning Point USA, is nothing more than a digital hit list for academics who dare to speak truth to power. I landed there in 2024 after writing commentary that inflamed the MAGA faithful. And once my name went up, the harassment machine roared to life.” “For weeks my inbox and voicemail were deluged. Mostly white men spat venom through the phone: ‘bitch,’ ‘c*nt,’ ‘n****r.’ They threatened all manner of violence,” she continued. “They overwhelmed the university’s PR lines and the president’s office with calls demanding that I be fired,” Patton wrote. “The flood was so relentless that the head of campus security reached out to offer me an escort, because they feared one of these keyboard soldiers might step out of his basement and come do me harm.” “And I am not unique,” she added. “Kirk’s Watchlist has terrorized legions of professors across this country. Women, Black faculty, queer scholars, basically anyone who challenged white supremacy, gun culture, or Christian nationalism suddenly found themselves targets of coordinated abuse,” Patton wrote. “Some received death threats. Some had their jobs threatened. Some left academia entirely. Kirk sent the loud message to us: speak the truth and we will unleash the mob!” she continued. “That is the culture of violence Charlie Kirk built. He normalized violence. He curated it, monetized it, and sicced it on anyone who dared to puncture his movement’s lies,” she wrote. “And now, in the wake of his shooting, there’s all this national outpouring of mourning, moments of silence, yellow prayer hands, and tributes painting him as a civil debater,” Patton continued. “But the truth is that Kirk and his foot soldiers spent years terrorizing educators, trying to silence us with harassment and fear!” “And now the same violence he unleashed on others has come full circle.” “But what i find especially jarring is the dissonance in public mourning for a smug white man whose life work was actively hostile to certain groups,” she continued. “Kirk spent years demonizing LGBTQ people, mocking gun survivors, spewing racism about Black folks, and pushing policies that literally shorten lives.” “It is so revolting to watch a bipartisan wave of grief sweep over this hateful racist as if he was a neutral community servant,” she concluded. This is pure unvarnished truth from Patton. Charlie Kirk did not deserve what happened to him, but nor did his victims deserve the hell that he unleashed on them. If Americans are going to build a more peaceful future for ourselves we must condemn political violence while also condemning the hateful, bigoted rhetoric that made Kirk a multimillionaire.

It certainly did, lol. But this is Thailand so chances were nobody cared or even paid attention. This brings another issue which sometimes bother me when I off boy for whole days. They still tend to dress like moneyboys ( skimpy shorts, very fitting jeans, flashy shirts etc, ) instead of looking casual which I'd prefer

Despite GP's abundance at Clube 11, I have been getting programas with only three guys. I talked a little bit about D., the first one. He is White, a little shorter than I am (5'9), athletic and starting to work out, I can notice daily how fast he is buiIding muscle up. He is 23 years old, married to a woman and living with her, no children. I was very impressed because I had never met before a GP with some college experience, and able to chat articulately about literature and politics. We had a very good beginning, but soon he started to behave like a boyfriend, with all that sweet talk I find unbearable in transaccional sex (meu amor, meu bem, estou com saudade de seus beijos, etc.). Even worse, he started to send me text messages, five in a raw one day, checking whether or not I was going to be at the sauna, and letting me know where he was. I also found out he misinformed me about the sauna's most popular days. He always works on Wed, so he taught me that Wed and Sat were the top days. However, I've learned from other boys and from experience that @Peter Parker is correct: te top days are Fri and Sat. The sex was good, but his sweet talk turned me off. Then I met V. Black, my height, beautiful athletic body, masculine face, a lot of tattoos and a "diamond" pierced on one of his cheeks. He is 27 y.o., single father living with his 9 years old son. V. is a capoeira coach, and by far the hottest guy in the sauna for my taste. He is good in bed, a great kisser, and I will probably hire him again. We only had two programas so far, and they were excellent, but our chemistry is not as good as with the other two guys. Finally I met N., currently my favorite one. I met him on my first Friday here, when I got two programas in one night (D. and N.) He is Black, but his face has European features, probably showing his few drops of Portuguese or South American indigenous blood. N. is athletic, plays soccer, a beautiful magrinho. If he would have been born in a different context, he would be model material, but his body shows a few traces of his poverty background, like a few scares, misalignments in his teeth, and a slightly shaking right arm. By far we have the best chemistry and he is the only one I had invited to my place so far. He is 22 years old, has a 3 yo daughter and his wife (they are not married) is currently 4 and a half months pregnant. Yesterday, we were supposed to go together to Praia do Porto da Barra. He came over a little bit before noon. However, we smoked a joint, started to make out, and ended in a three hours fuck session. Three hours. I do not even remember when was the last time I had such a long session. N. was just amazing, engaged, demanding, and several times when I was ready to stop to cum or to take a break, he redirected me getting even more passionate. Indeed, the best sex I had in at least a few years, comparable to my best non transaccional experiences. I am not able to distinguish between this fuck and a non transactional one. Of course, we cancelled our beach expedition. We took a shower, smoked another joint, and sat to chat. Here is when he said that he needed my help. Imagine my thoughts when he said so. Of course, we were repeating the pattern, an extraordinary performance comes always followed by an extraordinary request for financial support. I was thinking what he is going to ask me. To pay his rent, a new phone, new snickers, the kind of requests that I usually get from the boys in Rio. I was partially wrong. N. told me that he was in a bad situation, and needed my help with food for his family. He broke my heart. We went together to the supermarket. He really tried to look for the best prices, and several times I put in the cart things he wanted but discarded because he deemed them too expensive. 95% of the things he bought were basic groceries, only a few were questionable, like a Panthen kit and a salami. Actually, I think those were the only two things. Of course I did not question any of his choices, I only encouraged him to buy some of the items he found too expensive. I spent about 600R on his shopping. Today, I saw for the first time that his WhatsApp status shows pictures. It actually is his wife's number, he does not have a phone. The photos are all of dishes she cooked, probably with the food I bought for them. Out of all the gifts I have granted, this is the one that makes me feel the happiest, and I think the one that made the biggest difference for the boy. Today I was going to walk around the Dique de Tororó, but I am in pain. Every single muscle hurts, every single joint. The boy gave me a work out session yesterday like I have not had in years. It is a sweet pain, but I decided to stay home and rest. I had promised him to show up to the sauna today, but I am not sure whether or not I will. This was a post for the sex oriented friends. Besides that, I am still loving this city although during the last week I have not explored it much beyond Barra, my current hood. I am struggling with developing a productive routine for my retirement life. I am still going into vacation mood without noticing, but I need to put some structure or my health is going to suffer. I am sleeping too little and not eating well. I think today was one of the few days that I slept for about 8 hours, I am usually sleeping 5 or 6 and it is too little.

People try to compare other places in Brasil to SP & Rio. These other places can be easier on the wallet and good for a change of scenery, but still have what we're ultimately looking for.

Let us handle your 90-day reports. One time? ฿900. But wait, if you want to make life easy and pay for 4 times in advance… that’ll be ฿4,000. 🤦‍♂️ Only in Thailand can a ‘bulk package’ mean paying more per service. Brilliant.

Since getting my first digital camera, I have taken many thousands of photos of all the places I have visited. I did not join any social media and so I just selected a few pics each time and sent them to family and a very few friends i knew would be interested. Emails though last a few weeks before being forgotten. So in 2018 I used one of the on-line pubishing sites and put together a hardback album of photographs from 35 cities, countries and continents along with a few descriptions and what I particularly liked about them. I had only 20 printed and sent these out as gifts. They seem to have proved of much greater interest to the recipients. About half the time I visit those who received them, the books are sitting on the coffee table!

First of all I would like to thank @Latbear4blk and @Peter Parker for the very useful information provided here about Salvador and Clube 11. To pay forward I will add my impressions: Salvador is a very nice city, with a diverse mix of cultures and tons of sight seeings. You could also enjoy the beach there or at the islands nearby ( Ilha dos Frades is worth a day trip, for morro de São Paulo it is better to stay some days there). I went just to Club 11. I’ve missed the “best days” (Fridays and Saturdays), but every time I went there I could find at least 4 or 5 guys of my liking. On average the sauna had around 15 guys, more twink/lean body types, black/moreno guys. Guys and sauna vibe appeared to me more friendly than Lagoa and 117. Guys tend to leave early, so although the sauna closes at 22h a considerable number of guys and customers leave before 20h.

Last Saturday I spent about 6 hours with one of the boys I met at Clube 11. He was my first guest to this airbnb. I learned we have a very liberal guests policy here: if they do not stay overnight, they do not even need to show their ID. Besides his charm, my guest brought me some weed, so I have been extra happy since then. We had lunch on a locals oriented restaurant, and I had my first try of escondidinhos de carne. I enjoyed it, but it seemed like the poverty version of Sheppard pie. He wanted to go to the sauna at 4pm, to be early-hunting clients during the big anniversary party (20 years). I said hell no, called him an Uber, and laid down to resuscitate after our smoking hot working out. I arrived to the party at 7. For the first time, there was a line. Not only that, they had ran out of lockers. If you wanted to use the saunas, instead of lockers they would provide you with a big plastic bag to put your stuff away. Then you would return the bag to the reception desk, they would label it with your sauna ID number, and would save it for you in a big pile. The line was very slow, but I finally made it. They had added a few extra fancy looking decorations (silver looking shapes, all in the Bahiano African fusion style), and filled the mezzanine and the entire bar with long common tables with white tablecloths. It reminded me of what I saw during my first visit in Natal and Reveillon. All the beaches covered by long white communal tables. Well, the entire sauna looked like that. It was so full that it was difficult to circulate. I was able to put up with it (I do not like tight crowds) for 90 minutes, and around 8:45 was in my Uber back home. I missed the special show, but it looked like it was going to be another drag queen lip singing performance. The day before, I had seen an unusual performance. After a regular drag queen, a man all dress in white with Umbanda cloths, performed a nice ritualistic choreography. I was curious about the new show, but I was not enjoying being pushed and squeezed, and not being able to move around. And of course, no free seatings available. On Sunday was the local pride parade. At noon, I went to the gathering area between Farol and Porto da Barra. They built a stage by the Farol, and parked all the Trios from there to Porto. At noon, no one was there, so I killed the time enjoying the view far from the gathering are. When I came back around 2pm the thing was starting to get populated. IMG_7495.mov By 3 pm it was starting to look really good. The energy was great, the crowd was one of the most diverse ones I've ever seen. I am not talking only about race. There were many women and children. The theme for these year was celebrating the older queers like myself, and we were many. IMG_7508.MOV By 4 pm the Trios, that had been just warming up with loud music, turned the already loud level to Supercalifragilistic loud, and I became this guy: My eardrums were hurting and my internal organs twerking. Get me the heck out of here. The parade was supposed to start at 3, it was 4, I had been walking under the sun for 6 hours, and it looked like we were going to be there getting more crowded and louder by the minute. Time to retreat. I went back to my nest. About 6 pm, the Trios startied to arrive to Avenida Oceánica near my airbnb. I was two and a half blocks away, and the music was so loud that I was not able to mute it not even with my noise canceling headsets, the one that mute the plane engine when I am flying. So I tried to see what I could from my balcony, which was not much. IMG_7514.mov Lesson learned for next time, because there will be another time. Take earplugs with me, and secure a location out of the street with a closer view to the parade. I should have booked a table in one of the restaurants with a terrace in the parade trajectory. The noise lasted up to 9pm, after the last of the trios passed by in its way to Ondina. There was an after parade party at Zoom, but after my experience at Clube 11 the night before, I did not even try. No more lines and tight crowds for me. Today I was going to go to the beach with my boy, but it is rainy and not nice for that plan, it is postponed for tomorrow. This is good for my knee, I did a lot of walking yesterday with no issues but on flat land. Tomorrow the beach will be also relaxing, and the following they I think I will be ready to head back to the ups and downs of this city. No much sex in this post. I have talked to a lot of boys, but having programas with only three of them.

actually there was no drama at all this trip . Only time I felt uneasy was when niece said ' I want to see that new mall Central Park " . I was hoping no familiar boy will be there by chance and will come to me with a hug request. At end of day I pretend to be bored with mall and proclaim to go to Lumpini Park for a stroll but somehow I landed at Senso . Don't even ask me why and how.

Today I had a very pleasant surprise. I’ve been here for four weeks. Using Grindr, Sniffies and Jack’d to find guys (see above), and while I’ve had a few hot encounters, there has also been a lot of game playing that had left me feeling frustrated and a little cranky. In addition to all of the scammers that have invaded Grindr, I’ve also been having an issue with seemingly hot guys who are either catfishing me or just playing games. We’ll communicate and then they go silent and/or block me and disappear. At this point, I really was tired of it. Yesterday (Saturday) I had the usual run of scammers and game players so by the afternoon I wasn’t in the mood. A very hot, cute, younger guy hit me up on Grindr. He had a nice body and a nice cock. He said he was driving and on his way to a wedding reception (texting while driving?) but could meet later that day or today (Sunday). All seemed cool until he asked for more pics. I sent him album and he went silent. I wrote ‘I guess you’re not interested”. A little later, he messaged me and said he was driving but thought I was really hot. There still was hope, but frankly, I didn’t think anything would happen. And then another guy messaged me. He sent face, full body with cock, and a dick pick. He was super cute, really nice smile, brown skinned, but ambiguous racially, with a nice big dick. When I asked what he was looking for, he said, “your lips on my cock” and called me a hot daddy. I was already feeling burned, so when he stopped messaging me, I wrote, “I guess you’re just playing”. I wanted to write more, but left it at that and deleted the message. I was looking forward to going home in a few days. This morning started off with a bunch of new messages - some interesting prospects, a few I wasn’t interested in, and a bunch of scammers. As I was on my way home from the gym, I got a message from the guy from yesterday. His profile is not filled out and has no photo. Fortunately, he was replying to my message from yesterday where I said I thought he was just playing and wrote, “Not at all. Just got busy.” so I knew who he was. He asked if I wanted to hang out. I said “sure” but was skeptical, so I asked him to do a video chat. He agreed and sure enough, he was the same guy, looking very cute in person. We talked for a bit, he agreed to come to my place (after first wanting me to go to his) and before I knew it, he had Ubered himself over. He was a super cute 22 year old light-skinned black guy, student at Penn, on the ski team, bi and tennis player. I couldn’t believe he was attracted to me, but he told me he liked daddies and thought I was very hot. He ended up staying four hours. We made out a lot. I sucked his dick, he came all over me (and the bed) and we cuddled and talked while his dick kept getting hard just about any time I moved (ah to be 22 again). He came one more time before he left and we exchanged info. It was such a fun and pleasant experience and restored my faith in humanity. He said he had discussed the ghosting issue with some friends and said it was because people get freaked out and change their minds. We kind of laughed about my grumpy response to him and he said it happens often with older guys. I told him I hoped I gave him a new perspective on why it might be happening (if other guys are experiencing the same time wasters I am), but I also learned that there are some real people out there, so maybe a balance between being cautious and open might work in my favor. I’m sorry he hadn’t found me sooner, but at least I am leaving Philly with a very sweet memory and a new friend. As I get myself back into shape after my COVID body phase, I am finding that there are quite a few people to whom age is not really the issue, but fitness does seem to matter. Not sure how long this will last, but I am enjoying my hot daddy phase of life.

Had another visit to S'sense today. Was assigned a smaller room this time with just a shower and no toilet in another building. When I asked the masseur if it is because i booked a cheaper menu this time, he told me that the rooms are randomly assigned and this is actually their standard room and they have a total of 20 rooms which is quite surprising. Perhaps I'm just lucky, but on both occasions they are able to speak reasonably good english and I have no problem explaining my preference. The masseur this time is highly rated and possessed good massage skills, which I think S'sense is doing something right during their training. Was surprised that he still continue to massage after the deed as the first person I tried did not. All in all, another happy outing at S'sense.

Here's Jim from Singapore recent video from a couple of months ago for reference. My FlightRadar app had him staying at The Pullman on SiLom Road midweek!

A fun read, vinapu. Out of curiosity, why the hide-and-seek? You never thought that your niece might want to sample some of the delights that you've been enjoying all these years? Or did you want to keep the, ahem, chicken and cashew nuts all to yourself? 😏

It gets even more poignant. Charlie Kirk believed not only that executions should be public, but that children should watch them. One certainly cannot in any way condone assassinations (they're more likely to be counter-productive in any case, since they make martyrs out of the victims). However, at least he had his final wish. https://www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk-death-penalty-public-executions-1873073 "Charlie Kirk, founder and president of the conservative organization Turning Point USA, suggested in a recent episode of The Charlie Kirk Show that children should watch public executions... On his weekly panel discussion, "ThoughtCrime," Kirk was discussing death penalties of those convicted of crimes, adding that not only does he believe there should be public executions, but that children should watch them. "Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation...What age should you start to see public executions?" Kirk asked. Kirk, along with his co-hosts Jack Posobiec, Tyler Bowyer and Blake Neff, continued to discuss at what age should children watch the public executions, with one co-host pointing out as young as 12 years old...".

For more than 200 years the US Supreme Court has held that the Second Amendment applied to State Militias. They literally scoffed at the idea that it applied to individuals. Then Scalia and his pals completely changed the interpretation in line with decades of lobbying by the NRA. I find it strange that the amendment calls for a well regulated militia, but Scalia and Co think that no such regulations should be applied to any individual who wants to go around using a weapon of war.

That is hot! I am two tired and old for a foursome but I am jealous! I am taking them one by one, and they all are adorable and very hard workers in bed! I know Sauna Fox. I went there during my first visit in 2017, but everyone is telling me that the place went down and I do not feel the motivation for the long trip when Clube 11 provide so much joy at 15' of my nest. But who knows? I will be here for a month, I may get bored at Clube 11 and find the motivation to go to Fox. I am not sure if sex will happen in Praia Porto da Barra at night this Sunday, because that is actually the starting point for the parade. It actually ends in Ondina. I will see. Thanks for the good wishes about my knee. Yesterday I stayed home, and today, and right now it is feeling much better. I think I am ready to climb the stairs at Clube 11 tonight!

Hi Latbear4blk, Your experiences at Clube 11 sound almost identical to mine. When I offered 150, I was always treated like royalty and received long, complete services at that price. I was happy with how many guys were open to providing a passive service. One of my most memorable moments happened in the TV room. Three guys appeared and started trying to entice me into a program by whispering seductive words in my ear and kissing me on the mouth. At first, they all seemed to present themselves as active, so I explained that I wasn't interested since I was not passive. But then each one took turns giving me deep kisses and sucked my dick in turn. To my delight, two of them guided my hand to their butt, encouraging me to finger them to show they were eager to be fucked. It was really hot how the three were competing for my attention, each trying to win me over for a program. This interaction was so hot that I eventually decided to take all three upstairs for a foursome that lasted nearly an hour. Having three sets of hands exploring my body and always a cock to suck kept the intensity at a peak the entire time. The interaction between the three guys was intense and didn't require any encouragement on my part. One of them (the active guy), in particular, stood out—he had striking features, neck tattoos, and an energy that reminded me of Richarlison from the Brazilian national team: olive-skinned, athletic with platinum-bleached hair, and incredibly intense. Sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with your knee while walking around the city. You might want to check out Sauna Fox—it's in a flat, middle-class neighbourhood surrounded by shops, bars, and restaurants. Every time I've passed by in a taxi, the area has looked lively and inviting. I'm looking forward to hearing about the sauna's 20th anniversary party and the gay pride parade Was told that a lot of sex happens on Praia do Porto da Barra after sunset during carnival, so expect the same might happen during Pride. Have fun!!!!!

To suggest it is "strange indeed" is putting it far too mildly. In this day and age to suggest that a law passed centuries ago by a new country should remain unchanged given massive changes in society is an outright abomination.

My regular guy tells me about instances when some customers try to haggle and bargain down payment. For example, instead of paying the usual amount, they might counter with a lower amount if they sense that the guys are desperate for offs. Or they could insist that the guys pay the off fees themselves. During low season, such shenanigans are not uncommon. But last night my guy met a classy customer. My guy was at bar waiting for me to arrive but a customer called him down from stage. Customer wanted to buy him a drink (with an expectation that he sit with him to watch the show and maybe an eventual off). My guy explained to customer that he already had an off (i.e. me) and I was coming soon so he declined to accept the drink. Customer was disappointed but said he understood. He thanked my guy for explaining situation to him and tipped him with a 100-baht note, much to my guy's surprise. I told my guy, "The customer likes you. He will come back another night for you."

Your post is rubbish as you have clearly not been to Britain and eaten some fabulous dishes in a vast number of cafes and restaurants. For many decades the British have travelled overseas a great deal - far more than Americans. They learned aeons ago that they were not prepared to put up with the typical British stodge they had been served till then. Then food writers like Elizabeth David in the 1950s became hugely popular by introducing different forms of continental cuisine. I learned my basic Italian cooking from one of her books! Add to that the introduction of a wide range of celebrity chefs whose influence was spread though television. There was soon a vast change in the food served in most British restaurants. At the top end, Britain now has 208 Michelin-starred restaurants; the USA whose population is over five times larger than the UK's has 235 Michelin-starred restaurants. Go figure! No doubt that's in part because far too many Americans gorge themselves and become far too overweight on fast food. You mention Indian restaurants. For more variety, like many British people try some of the simple Chinese restaurants in British cities serving various types of utterly delicious Cantonese, Shanghainese, Szechuan, Beijing, Chiu Chow and Hunan cuisine. Or Thai restaurants are found in most cities serving dishes that would give many restaurants in Thailand a run for their money. On a personal point, though, you mention haggis which is of course a Scottish dish. You may not happen to like it when it is served in its simplest form with bashed neeps and chappit tatties (mashed turnips and potatoes). But pour some Drambuie liqueur over it and it becomes a very different almost gourmet dish. 😀

Some additional observations and revelations. At Sun Massage when I finished my massage and went downstairs to wear my shoes, the boss said to my massage guy that all rooms full! They were empty just one hour before that. Customers just suddenly appeared! I remember the phrase - "When it rains, it pours!" Saw a Laos guy on stage at Freshboys. He used to work at Moonlight. Offed him few times from Moonlight. Gave him a tip for old time's sake. Didn't ask him why he switched from Moonlight to Freshboys. I think the answer is obvious. He has bigger tattoo on arm compared to past. He has added more elements to design so I presume doing ok. Also bumped into a Midnight bar waiter while walking on street. He called my name in fact. I know from Instagram social media that he got a tattoo sponsored by customer. I asked to see it and how much. 4500 baht he said. Lucky him!

We're still talking Ounces and not CM or Inches, right?

With the perfectly ghastly, snake-like Roy Cohn as his mentor, Trump was certainly never good. Down in hell, Cohn will be exhilarated at how well his pupil is doing!

https://sopla.substack.com/p/clube-11-566 I am having a great time here. Check my report on the sauna above. It is just my first week, my only doubt is whether I will love Clube 11 after a month. Everything depends on the turn around of boys. It looks like the standard price here is 100R for a full service programa. I am offering 150 and the boys are treating me like a Queen. I am surprised all the boys I talked to (about 10) are openly versatile. Back in 2017, when I visited for the first time, that was not the case. And when you meet Bahianos in Rio, they are always only top (at the beginning). I am gladly impressed by this change. The sauna is celebrating its 20th anniversary week, a big party is planned for this Saturday. This coming Sunday is the local gay pride parade, from Praia do Porto da Barra down to Ondinas. I will probably be there if the crowd is not overwhelming (I do not like to be squeezed). I guess I could keep my distance from the most heavy crowded sections of the parade. If I feel safe pulling out my camera (I think I will), I will get nice pictures. There is an after parade party at Zoom, so I will probably go there for the first time. The city and the people are fantastic. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. However, I do not think I would like to live here. I hate walking up and down all these hills. Today I took a day off to rest, my right knee is killing me (I had a surgery 10yeas ago). Besides that, poverty is too ubiquitous and too many buildings, often beautiful ones, are falling in pieces. I went to the Museu de Arte Moderna de Bahía and saw some very appealing artwork, but everything would look so much better with more investment. After my visit there, I attempted to walk south to get to the Museu de Arte, but my knee forced me to call an Uber to go back home to put some ice on it without reaching my intended destination. Before taking the Uber, I walk through a path between the highway and the favela you see bellow in the picture. There were homeless people living on the path, they could not even afford the favela. They smelled horrible and looked like corpses, malnutrition and heavy drugs. It made me very sad, so much misery in such a beautiful natural scenery.

You are talking out of your arse. Please substantiate from an independent source just one person being imprisoned in the UK for stating only that "immigration is bad for Britain". When you start a post with such unsubstantiated twaddle it renders the rest of your unsubstantiated assertions meaningless. Then you have the nerve to ask another poster to substantiate their comments! Well let's see your substantiation.

I arrived yesterday night, but I was too tired to go out. Today, I went to Clube 11 and I loved it. They refreshed the installation since my first visit back in 2017/18, and the place is clean, well maintained, with four very nice suites with bathroom and hot showers. They have more rooms but I did not try them. One of the boys I hired confirmed what the friend @Peter Parker reported above: Sauna Fox has gone down, with installations not well kept and with few clients and garotos. As I am sick of long Uber trips after my Recreio dos Bandeirantes staying, I will not go to Fox. I went to Clube 11 about 5:30, and it was well populated with garrotos but not so much with clients. About 6/6:30 it looked much better, with more boys and more clients. My first boy was cute, but it was early and I would have not picked him. He picked me, and seduced me with his charm. 22 y.o., with HS and one year of college. He reads Paulo Coelho! My first GP well educated, I think. We chatted for about one hour before going to a suite, and his performance was excellent. When we were going to the suite, a hottie intercepted and tried to convince me to do a threesome. Instead, I finished with my first boy and then hired him. Both of them fully versatile, both of them came with my dick inside. I was surprised, my first experience with baianos had been not so good when they had to bottom. These two guys were impecable. Both of them recommended me to go tomorrow Saturday and on Wednesday, when they have a Bingo night that they say makes it the most popular day in the week. For sure I will go tomorrow, I am hoping for a third boy I did nit have energy to hire today. I am three blocks away from Zoom, but I do not know when I will stop by there. This is a very good beginning.

I don't disagree with a thing you said. Here's a cold fact. Charlie Kirk is dead. He will never win his fight against same sex marriage. He is dead and the dead can't fight. You and I are alive. We are part of a large community with lots of allies who won the fight for same sex marriage, Let's see. How long was same sex marriage illegal? Let me think. Oh, right. Pretty much for all of human history. So that's a pretty big victory. Oh, and did I mention? Charlie Kirk is dead. He can't fight. Sorry Charlie. Of course, Harvey Milk's death didn't stop the movement for LGBTQ rights. And Charlie Kirk's death won't stop the conservatives. As you note, bigotry is on a roll among Republicans. And I do think the polling is pretty clear that the slippage is mostly among Republicans. Trump has empowered all kinds of bigotry and hate. He's a small weak man and a hater. But the people who admire him seem to admire that part of him as well. So I didn't say love won for all time and bigotry ended for all time. Again, I agree with everything you said. We are describing two sides of the same complex experience. I'm glad you posted what you did. That said, I think in a moment like this it is important to note that when it came to same sex marriage and LGBTQ rights more broadly, love and tolerance really did win. Hate and violence did not win. And that was OUR decision, collectively, to do it that way. I will repeat. I am prouder to be Gay now than I am to be an American.
