Lucky

That is so often true- the cock gets better with age. Guys learn how to use it by practice, practice, and practice. Then, of course, there are those born with a natural talent...

Well, my mistake for not noticing how old the thread is. In a perverse way, I am glad that I don't have to compare my weight loss to yours after all, but I do wish both of us the luck on that. I should have wondered if you had yet gone to Sao Paolo as well.

And yet another book, this one by a Jesuit-educated Pulitzer Prize winner named Garry Wills, and it's called Why Priests? A Failed Tradition. The book is written up in today's Sunday Times column by Frank Bruni, who goes on a rant about Los Ageles Cardinal Mahoney for covering up so much crime committed by priests against young boys: "...the new book by Wills, a Pulitzer Prize winner who has written extensively about Christianity and the church, says that at the start, Christianity not only didn’t have priests but opposed them. The priesthood was a subsequent tweak, and the same goes for the all-male, celibate nature of the Roman Catholic clergy and the autocratic hierarchy that this clergy inhabits, an unresponsive government whose subjects — the laity — have limited say. “It can’t admit to error, the church hierarchy,” Wills told me on the phone on Thursday. “Any challenge to their prerogative is, in their eyes, a challenge to God. You can’t be any more arrogant than that.” http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/opinion/sunday/bruni-catholicisms-curse.html?ref=opinion

Firecat has it right on the nose. Oz is a big-hearted guy. I, too, saw some of that in Thailand as I walked the streets of Pattaya with him and saw all of the guys he knows and his generosity and concern for them. Why would it be any different in Brazil? I didn't know about the weight loss, so congratulations on that, Oz. I wish I could lose some.

For me, reading the book might help me understand better some of the things I was taught in school, and why. The sexual repression that Catholics get came from these very guys who were having wives and mistresses, yet did not allow it for future generations. Such a horrible mistake, but why? It was good enough for them.And so on.

LOL...no, it is not a mistake. You still made a good point, after all.

My post wasn't about Asians looking their age, or not, it was about how tiring the career of a bar boy or sauna boy would be and the likelihood of them doing it into their thirties. The sauna guy is not living the life of the jet-setting escort, he's working his tail off every night. It's hard work regardless if he looks 20 30 or 40.

Good points, MsGuy. I am tempted to read the book, but my library doesn't have it. Let's see how much it is on Amazon...that $27.95 price tag drops to $16,10 with free shipping since I am Amazon Prime. Maybe later.

What does Adam Smith think? We all know that the Politics forum there is not the best place to play because of deej. Several posters told him so the other day but it seemed to go right past him. Many of us agree with his political positions, but that's not enough for him. So my vote would be to do nothing that would link that forum here. Keep the sites separate. It's not as if folks there do not know how to find this site if they choose.

That hardly qualifies as naked to me. I'd rather look at EXPAT's "likes" than see Naked Glee.

I so rarely read the reviews it wouldn't matter to me. I usually forget that they are there.

It just hit me that Ice is 31 years old. Not too many guys are still working the sex trade at that age in Thailand, at least in my experience. Maybe that's why he runs hot and cold- he is tired! I went to Hero massage last year and left quite disappointed, but it was mostly my fault as I went on looks alone and did not get the advice from the mamasan which may have helped make a better choice. I probably have one trip to Hero massage left in me and would want only a good choice! But I like ice's looks.

Well, I am at 100 pages so far, and I am not sure how many more I will read. The writing is terrific, the social commentary biting, but the main story is about this alcoholic who has lost his teeth yet tries to lure younger women for sex so he can, with his false teeth, bite them and suck their blood. This excites him to the point that he decides to get sober so that he can enjoy the moments to their fullest. And so far, he has done that. But I am not into blood, and the lengthy descriptions he gives of the women's beauty do not do much for me. He does seem to be condescending to the world and see himself as better than the rest of us, even those of us who have our teeth and have not met the demons that he has met, so very up close and personal too. No doubt the book has its readership, but it is due back to the library on Monday, and it will go back even if I have not finished it.

The News also has a story on a world-wide outbreak of norovirus, which causes projectile vomiting and severe diarrhea. No blame there as it goes around frequently, usually getting cruise ship passengers. It sounds horrible to have- just several days of misery with no medicine to provide relief. http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/new-stomach-bug-strain-sweeps-united-states-article-1.1248303

Our posting colleague citylaw was named today by the NY Daily News as the one responsible for the flu virus in New York. I bring you the stunning headline here: RELATED: BLAME CITY LAW FOR YOUR NASTY FLU

The Sapphire Card is better though, or so I think. But I am glad that you like the thread. Keep on flying.

For my first sleep study, I was awake all night. For my last study, I slept almost all night. The last doc still tried to sell me on sleep apnea aids even though I had only six points on the scale. Some people have a hundred. I didn't buy it. But I still have insomnia at least one night a week.

Me. I am, as you might expect, a Top Contributor at Trip Advisor with about 130 reviews. They are all credible. I have 600 reviews at Barnes & Noble and over 100 at Amazon. Lots of people just like me are trying to share their thoughts. The ones with a long track record are usually the ones more credible.

He could easily have one more trick if he just called me!

Well, glutes, it is nice to see that you have not lost your ability to find threads buried in the archives. You must have a great memory or a super-skillful search engine!

My husband once waited in line for hours to get an autographed pair of underwear signed by Marky Mark and Calvin Klein as a gift for me. I still have them! They came with a large poster something like the one above, but with Marky wearing a beautiful smile. The poster still hangs, this time in my bathroom, where I see it every day. It is such a joyful celebration of male sexuality. And I am impressed with what the man did with his career. He doesn't bore me at all.

That could be a hard job.

We should start a collection to get lurkerspeaks to Broadway! Kinky Boots might be just the musical to break him in on!

Award travel may sound like fun, but it's usually coach we fly. Those long trips to Asia are hard for someone of my ever growing size. I did it when I was younger much better, but arthritis doesn't help the knees endure ten to twelve hours on a plane to Tokyo, followed by another eight to Bangkok. I think growing older just makes it harder, but then I remember that my traveling companion on my early flights to Bangkok was in his late seventies and never complained once! Weren't the planes bigger and softer back then? (1987)
