Definitely. It's simply good manners. If a 'thank-you' note is not forthcoming, I regard the person as ungrateful. I've heard various excuses over the years - the person was not brought up well, the person is too busy and writing a note takes too much time, 'snail-mail' is slow so an email is better etc - but I don't believe any of them. And I adopt a simple policy in response. I try to treat everyone well, but I only make further gifts to people I know will be grateful. I have only once been asked about this (by a young family member to whom I'd given a substantial gift costing thousands of dollars on his 21st birthday, and received a one-line email some weeks afterwards). A few years later, he asked why I didn't give him a significant wedding gift; I explained that I hadn't been invited to his wedding, and he had been so unappreciative of what I'd given previously.

I'm very sad to read your post, Tom. I wish you all the best in fighting your illness.

Interesting response by Will23. My own experience in visiting Australia is that hot guys with ripped, muscled bodies do escort.. Using the sample I have met, they are exclusively personal trainers and models trying to make a living. Their incomes are sporadic and fluctuate wildly while their expenses are considerable and continuing. I have found that they almost all define as bi and insist on being very discreet. In London, I have a blond muscleboy I see regularly. He is exactly as PR2K desires, but only sees me when he needs "support" and he never advertises as he has a part-time job he does not want to jeopardise. On Scandinavia, my only thought is to search on Gayromeo.

He's hot. Do you recall, Expat, this guy's name? I used Google Images but had no success identifying him.

I'm surprised that you were surprised, TO. Not only in the US but throughout Europe, the authorities are co-operating to try and identify human traffickers and pedophiles before they commit their crimes. As you must be aware, many such have been found guilty because of the images they hold on their electronic devices. There is currently outrage in the UK over a US schoolteacher who appears to have drugged male pupils before assaulting them. He committed suicide (in Minnesota, I believe) having evaded detection for many years by working in various countries outside the US. His crimes have come to light because he recorded what he did on a hard drive.

LOL "PR2K, praying for your recovery from your battles with anhedonia, dearie." Post of the day, in my opinion, ihpguy. Congratulations!

I didn't watch the video, Expat, so I still have my 3 minutes. From the headline, I thought you were conducting a survey. From my direct experience, I can recall 2 memorable idiotic sayings: - from a young gym-boy flat on his belly, while he was impaled, "Fuck me, Daddy"; and - from a nice but not innocent guy keen on role-play, looking up from between my legs, "I don't do this, Daddy, but I'll do it for you. Do you want to come in my mouth so I can swallow your cum?"

Yes, as it dries, but not as much as cotton. And when wet, it stinks. Here ends Good Housekeeping. I concur with Lurkerspeaks. I've had 2 such friendships, each lasting several years: the first was with a bi personal trainer 23 who loved to suck cock and swallow a mouthful of cum; and the second was with a blond muscleboy 20 who loved to have a cock in his ass and he would ejaculate without touching himself as I unloaded in his mouth. Each received a small amount of 'help'. Over 2-3 years, the trainer became an enthusiastic kisser and wanted me to invite others to use him, while the blond muscleboy became more affectionate, wilder in bed (he liked bondage) and stayed for longer periods of hours.

Thanks for the info on him. I speak German, tho not fluently, so I'll be able to say what I enjoy.. If your Czech is rudimentary, I confess that I would like to have witnessed how you managed to communicate "get your legs in the air", "suck this slowly and deeply" and "let me see you come all over your abs" ;-) And may I ask what rate he requires for a weekend?

Nice looking guy. Does he advertise on gayromeo or elsewhere?

Tom, which hotel are you using in Porto Alegre at this time? And how much do you tip the chambermaid each day for all the extra clean sheets and towels you get through?

Thanks for the great post, Paragon.

I think the guy in your last post - the legal clerk in Porto Alegre - looks very cute.

I can confirm what Ihpguy wrote. I was introduced by a mutual friend to one model and he has introduced me to others. The encounters with one exception have only been outside Brazil, so I've no idea what they would expect 'at home'. But in Europe, when they had time free from work, the dates (with dinner and drinks) were certainly not cheap but they were worthwhile.

I'm intrigued that no-one mentioned the easy availability of 'recreational pharmaceuticals' and 'legal highs'. Certainly in Europe, such drugs are often cheaper than alcohol. And FWIW I agree with the posters who cited the lack of good parenting. Perhaps this ties in with families being formed later in life and the parents relentlessly praising and spoiling their single child (aka the "little Emperor" in China). When such children reach adulthood, making their way independently in the world must seem very hard

And to answer the original question: London. If you plan ahead, airfares are reasonable (or you can use miles/points). Hotels are varied and prices can be affordable. And there are hundreds of good looking working guys from various countries as well as many fit-bodied locals who may play for free or want only modest "support".

Fun thread. It brought back memories of SoBe for me.. Where would be a good (ie clean, well-kept rooms with a big bed, bathroom and decent breakfast) hotel to stay in FTL?

IMHO unless you've befriended guys online before you go - Chile is too conservative a society/place; Buenos Aires currently has a lot of crime and guys are very flaky about dates even if you're willing to pay.

As an aside, there is a newsletter published online from the UK - Popbitch - which is very revealing. And despite the UK's fierce laws against defamation and libel with very heavy damages being awarded to litigants, Popbitch has never been sued successfully. I mention this because twice in the past year Popbitch has alluded to the way in which Marilyn Manson delights in introducing the wonders of recreational pharmaceuticals to young stars who are squeaky-clean. Popbitch has alluded to his growing friendship with a teenage popstar who has achieved success and fame worldwide and tho coming from Canada now resides in the USA.

Tomcal, your photos of Andre, the lean Brazilian who moved to Europe and is now muscled with a six-pack, are intriguing. But readers should beware: it doesn't always work out so well. From the gym, I know a middle-aged guy (a retired Army officer) who went to Brazil on holiday and came back with an unusual souvenir, a 19 year old boy who moved in with him. I saw the boy shortly after his arrival and he was like Andre, tall and lean. The boy came from an ordinary, large family in a working-class area. My gym-friend is not rich but lives comfortably. And within a year, the ready access to all the food he wanted, and all the sugary things he desired, caused the boy to balloon in size. He's now 23/24, still tall but he's very fat with love-handles and a wobbly belly. He still lives with my gym-friend, who now looks elsewhere.

Thanks for posing, trzinko. I've enjoyed your reports. And I was glad to see photos of Tomenai: it looks as if all the men have their legs in the air - my kinda place! (Sorry I couldn't resist a quip)

Thanks for the update. He's a nice-looking young man with a good body.

If we're going to judge a person's intentions by his looks, may I add that he seems to have the full, soft lips that a dedicated cocksucker would want to possess.
