Not much of a spanking, and not much of a funny either. The only benefit to watch is to see a bewildered beautiful Bieber.

So many promising treatments have been touted over the years and failed to deliver that we become skeptical at any new drug that is the next best thing. But perhaps our cynicism needs an update as news today about existing meds that stop HIV dead make the news. Many sources reported on this, but the link is to San Francisco's Bay Area Reporter, where you will find many articles of gay interest since it is the local gay paper! (Note the last sentence in the article!) http://ebar.com/news/article.php?sec=news&article=69119 It being San Francisco, also note the two wacky comments after the article!

Spell check would probably correct the spelling of Extasy to ecstasy and cocain to cocaine. Poor little PNP Clueless shouldn't be spellbound by all of this. Just say no! (I wonder if her real name is Molly...)

Oh gosh, more white guys. Perhaps someone in, say, Thailand, could find some hot Asian boys to feature on the sides of the page.

I just read that 4 states have done this, but it probably won't matter. See: http://www.towleroad.com/2013/09/some-service-members-in-same-sex-marriages-take-the-long-drive-to-equality.html

Is it Art, or Literature?

I don't see it with Firefox.

There are probably several scenes in a city that big, especially with its reputation for gay fun. I hope that you find some fun.

The price is right, Oz, but when it comes to your health, I wouldn't be concerned over price. You have had some ups and downs on this trip. Those of us at home are rooting for you to recover quickly and enjoy life again.

MsGuy, the only author whom I have recently read who can write better than Mary Renault is the crime novelist James Lee Burke. Centered, usually, in New Iberia , Louisiana, Burke's detective Dave Robicheaux takes on evil and stares it in the face, all while describing it in lush detail and beautiful prose. Unfortunately, most of my recent reading have been books by popular authors who have come out with this year's issue. Too many of them are living on past laurels and need to come up with something new. English murder mysteries can be difficult to enjoy, but I do like Ian Rankin's Scottish detective series. I'll take a look at Miss Seeton Undercover. Maybe I'll actually do it under the covers!

Perhaps I am late to the party, but I only recently discovered that the entire world is getting off on the internet- for free! I thought internet porn cost money, but there are so many free sites now that the cash business model seems to be in decline. The action now seems to be camming, that is, performing sex acts live on a webcam and having people pay you for it. Top sites get 30 million visitors a month. And everything is so easy to find, you just Google and all the porn you want is in your room. The part I don't like is that there are no screens to keep kids away from it. How many parents put a filter on Google? Anyway, if they don't know about it now, they will tomorrow when the NY Times, in a very lengthy article, gives all the ins and outs. You can see the article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/22/technology/intimacy-on-the-web-with-a-crowd.html?hp

Would you not be happy to have the rare genes that were actually immune to HIV? Perhaps Stephen Crohn was, and his suicide at the age of 66 was unrelated. But, from the obituary, it seems as if guilt over surviving when his friends were dying drove him to take his own life last month. Hard to figure this when so many struggle to live. Here's the story: http://www.latimes.com/obituaries/la-me-stephen-crohn-20130922,0,7435494.story

I didn't get his name.

The hot boys were plentiful. But both the H and I thought certain boys didn't want to be bothered with tourists, including the guy who I thought was the hottest of them all. I understand that having regular clients as opposed to tourists has its advantages, but it would seem that a real is a real. Part of blocking your way in a hallway or a stairway is a ruse to get your attention to the boy, but blasting your way past is just rudeness, especially on that narrow staircase where you are busy "minding your head."

SFGate.com reports that man who climbed a downtown light pole naked has been arrested for throwing bricks at police while perched- apparently clothed- on a ledge. Take a look at this man. Would you want to see him naked? Did the cops give him those injuries to his face? http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Naked-S-F-climber-faces-charges-again-4830533.php#photo-5212930

Where is this edit button? I looked at three different cities and did not see it. I found a mistake on my first read, but couldn't edit!

"The have theme mornings and nights, and their underwear parties are a must." If there was an edit button here, I would edit the above to say that "they have" theme mornings, etc.

All you need is a camera at each station so we can watch too.

We don't have to go to extremes to keep a "hot" body after childbirth! The NY Daily News reports on this woman, 8 months pregnant, who wants to still be in shape after giving birth. Is she harming her child? http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/california-mother-faces-public-outcry-posting-photos-lifting-weights-8-months-pregnant-article-1.1462242

Thanks Oz, and lurkerspeaks. I also appreciate the "likes." When I wrote it, I didn't really expect much of a response. The jet lag is now gone, and we are wondering where we might go next.

Frequent flyer miles can be had for lots of things besides flying, and I have accumulated tons of them by opening credit card accounts, checking accounts, and taking advantage of other offers. Our flight to Brazil was only 40,000 miles each. The catch was that the return trip was horrible. We were to fly GRU to DFW, stay there 12 hours, then fly to SFO, where we were to spend the night before flying home the next day in the afternoon. But, wisely, I went to the AA offices at the GRU airport, pointed out the lousy schedule, and got us rerouted directly home after going through customs at DFW. Not bad. But this post isn't about that anyway. On my United Mileage Plus page there was an offer of 50,000 miles for opening an Explorer credit card. Usually it is only 30,000, and the account I previously had opened, (and closed) only offered me 25,000 miles. So, I figured that they must want me back to offer me 50,000 miles. I was wrong. They let me open the account, spend the $2000 in qualifying purchases, and then denied me the 50,000 miles on the grounds that I had previously been rewarded when I opened the first account. Well, of course I protested, and they responded by citing the rule that only one offer was good in a 2 year period and I had had mine. So I wrote back and said, yes, but! You only gave me 25,000 miles, and now you are offering 50,000. You should at least give me the extra 25,000 so that I, too, got a total of 50,000 miles. They wrote back- I didn't fight this by email- and said okay, we will make an exception and give you the extra 25,000 miles. You know, that's often good for a free coach ticket domestically, nothing to sneeze at, right? So now my bank and I are on good terms again, and now I need to plan another trip. It goes to show that you shouldn't always take the first rejection!

Amazing and wonderful pictures. The H and I flew to Siem Reap a few years ago and really liked the place, as well as Angkor Wat. Lurkerspeaks, good ol' Wikipedia tells us: Angkor (Khmer: អង្គរ or នគរ, "Capital City")[1][2] is a region of Cambodia that served as the seat of the Khmer Empire, which flourished from approximately the 9th to 15th centuries. The word Angkor is derived from the Sanskrit nagara (नगर), meaning "city".[3] The Angkorian period began in AD 802, when the Khmer Hindu monarch Jayavarman II declared himself a "universal monarch" and "god-king", and lasted until the late 14th century, first falling under Ayutthayan suzerainty in 1351. A Khmer rebellion resulted in the 1431 sacking of Angkor by Ayutthaya, causing its population to migrate south to Longvek. The ruins of Angkor are located amid forests and farmland to the north of the Great Lake (Tonlé Sap) and south of the Kulen Hills, near modern-day Siem Reap city (13°24′N, 103°51′E), in Siem Reap Province. The temples of the Angkor area number over one thousand, ranging in scale from nondescript piles of brick rubble scattered through rice fields to the magnificent Angkor Wat, said to be the world's largest single religious monument. Many of the temples at Angkor have been restored, and together, they comprise the most significant site of Khmer architecture. Visitor numbers approach two million annually, and the entire expanse, including Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom is collectively protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This popularity of the site among tourists presents multiple challenges to the preservation of the ruins. In 2007, an international team of researchers using satellite photographs and other modern techniques concluded that Angkor had been the largest preindustrial city in the world, with an elaborate infrastructure system connecting an urban sprawl of at least 1,000 square kilometres (390 sq mi) to the well-known temples at its core.[4] The closest rival to Angkor, the Mayan city of Tikal in Guatemala, was between 100 and 150 square kilometres (39 and 58 sq mi) in total size.[5] Although its population remains a topic of research and debate, newly identified agricultural systems in the Angkor area may have supported up to one million people.[6]

I like Breaking Bad a lot, but I wait until the end of the season to watch them one after the other. So, I don't want to know what happens!

This morning I watched Cheyenne Jackson masturbate to orgasm. If there was any doubt it was him, he showed his face at the end. But now it can't be found. It's disappeared both from the site I viewed it on as well as Perez Hilton's. In case you are wondering, his dick is not all that big, but the orgasm was plentiful!
