Your chances of getting mugged in Rio are much less than your chances of getting attacked in this forum.

MsGuy was one of our regular posters. He had a great sense of humor. I'd love to state those facts in the present tense, but he hasn't signed on in almost three months! MsGuy, come back! All is forgiven! Anyone hear from him lately?

This topic comes up repeatedly. Maybe it serves as a good reminder to be observant and careful in Rio. The only way to be sure that you will not get robbed in Rio is to stay home. iphguy is an astute resident there, and if he can get robbed three times in one month, it serves to remind us to observe the precautions mentioned here repeatedly, and then still be prepared for danger. It's a risk of visiting Rio.

I hope that this one works! https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-city-health-bulletin-safe-diarrhea-ass-play-20190808-qoyvf66jefea7nyepsfun5rdqi-story.html (I tested the link and it did work for me.)

Now it's not the ass play being encouraged, but the safety issue that the New York Health Department is concerned with. They have ads directed at gay men: The NY Daily News has the story. Not everyone likes the ad! https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-city-health-bulletin-safe-diarrhea-ass-play-20190808-qoyvf66jefea7nyepsfun5rdqi-story.html

Hotels and restaurants in Pattaya don't compare to Bangkok. The guys seem to be younger and thinner. It's not a place to stay long, in my humble opinion!

Oh how unassuming that door to 117 is. Not a clue as to the delights inside!

Has there been a good nickname for Donald? Donald Yuck?

Moscow Mitch fell and broke his shoulder this weekend. The comment section at the Washington Post is ablaze with jokes about it. And why not? He has shown no regard for the suffering of others- none!

Several years ago I tried to get posters to use the word guys or men instead of boys. It was a lost cause. So, I became one of the boys who used "guys," then with an atta-boy I just gave in. The word boy literally means child, but colloquial use differs. . A night out with the boys will convince you of that!

Oh please! I am not asking you to lie with me! I am reporting on a novel which I just finished, and yes, it's titled Lie With me, A Novel by Philippe Besson. The translation, surprisingly, (to me) is by Molly Ringwald. It's a French coming of age story that is touching and tragic, but above all, well-written. Not everyone reads fiction, but this one is short and semi-sweet. Well worth it.

Mitch never once complained when others were being given derogatory nicknames.

What are Stacey Abrams qualifications? I haven't studied her.

There is not a candidate that I support for President beyond Mayor Pete, but I think his chances are slim. I have no second choice..

Four months until my Bangkok trip!

We discussed this movie in the Theater section in May of 2018 if you want to see how folks reacted when it was new.

I have been noticing at newtumbl.com that so many Asians have huge dicks. See for yourself! But, once in San Francisco I guy I brought home from a bar had one smaller than my thumb, and he couldn't get hard!

MOSCOW MITCH

Fortunately I may have heard it enough for awhile!

I didn't have high hopes, but I did hope that some might listen to the song. Did I mention that I really like it?

She's yesterday's news, and none too soon!

A woman who met soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo in a Las Vegas bar in 2009 and then voluntarily went to his hotel room with him charged him later with raping her. She sued too. Would one of the most desirable men in the world need to rape someone? Not hardly, absent other psychological flaws. The Las Vegas District Attorney today refused to prosecute him on the available evidence. Stars like Ronaldo are so susceptible to women with gold in their eyes that they should only have sex with gay men. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/22/sports/no-charges-for-cristiano-ronaldo-in-las-vegas-rape-case.html?action=click&module=Latest&pgtype=Homepage

I know nothing about music, but I know what I like. And I really like this:

Privacy for porn users is no better than for shirt shoppers or travel sites, but if it's something kinky or secret, do you really want advertisers buying up your porn habits? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/17/opinion/google-facebook-sex-websites.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage Most of us are pretty clear here what we like, so is privacy a lost cause?
