Point taken, but best to use squeaky clean terms, and the discussion here helps to develop a community standard that assuages understandable anxiety yet does not impose much burden on posters asked to use alternative terms. That is easier than second-guessing the outcome of various related law enforcement trends.

Because the question was non-discrete as opposed to non-discreet, it was ambiguous, so I assumed it was related to the number of entries into this loja in Botafogo or other Rio locations and beyond. So say I to the prospective prosecutor. I went in to browse several times but I touched nothing and there was no financial transaction. If my "Portulish" were better, I'd have asked questions about product age-appropriateness. ------ Parenthetically, boytoy colloquially means a female of age available to a male of age, or a male of age available to a female (or male) of age. Joking aside .... guy, provider, scort (please, not 'scout'!), etc, any one or more of countless options distancing from the notion of child, being under legal age of majority, or outside of the legally acceptable age differential where sexual consent age is less than the conventional threshold definitions of adulthood, etc. Otherwise, a "boy who is not a child", which is too cumbersome. I already weighed in earlier in another thread regarding the term. The flippant or casual sloppy use of "boy" here, by now, is forthwith puerile.

I think that emoji should be retired. It gets misconstrued because it is periodically used with mocking intent and to convey middle-school bullying alliances. That is why you must defend it in conjunction with another post. Get my drift? I believe some pitiful suckered-in Sunshine State handmaiden, Ofsolsticeoil, much less slick than he imagines himself, holds the record. Run and save yourself from that level of futility.

I am glad you can read attentively. Generally, a perspective is derived from a repetitive thematic pattern that is not always easily recognizable or easy to draw out, but with patience, or even a little manipulative baiting of the sleeping dog ... Some of the worst of this is on me. Anytime is extreme, but an acceptable figure of speech. Perhaps in this case he was not throwing shade, but drawing attention to an oft-repeated trope. One can never be sure. Everyone is multi-faceted. A new reader just cracking open the books here likely does not recognize that the "pained garoto" trope has already been inserted many times by the same source. It is like a retweet ad infinitum, losing its punch for the veterans here but still potentially instructive and amusing for some. I, too, have been redundant. Some of this is simply how the material is organized. A novice reader might be hoodwinked into thinking that you overreacted and that you may be silly for having done so. In short, they read his nibs response according to his design. There are seasoned readers here, however, that can view your reaction in the context of previous threads. So don't worry about your instincts being off. The dynamic is recognizable, and discussed backstage more than you probably know, without the intent of ungentlemanly gossip. I should stop my "blathering" for now. But one more thing ... one offshoot of your calling a specific person out is looking forward to a hiatus of cheap skewering, that person cleverly backing off for a time to rehabilitate image. He may even ingratiate himself with you. If you prefer harmony on the Board, you have done your part in this case by behaving honestly and genuinely.

DICK-stractions in Santo Domingo

Easily done without it, #SoLessOwl wisdom than Granny, since the #SoleAsshole source is one particular DICK-straction personified here, repeatedly flaccidizing and dismissable. gif? -

Excellent if misdirected advice, #SowLastSold with incessant squealing, and amazingly does not have wiki-sourced flavour. -
DICK-stractions in Santo Domingo
Riobard replied to BlkSuperman's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Why so ridiculous?, #SowLessSoil with steaming piles of manure, s.v.p. I am simply describing what said pimp telegraphed to me about threatening to give escorts a piece of his mind and dropping them, based on my input. I wondered if I was a guinea pig in some cases introduced to spanking new catalogue choices. Obviously, his business model is a poor fit and I would not continue to spin my wheels or the wheel with him. If I am not mistaken, we generally share some reservations about choosing from ersatz ads comprised of photos and retailers' hard sell. Moreover, do I want to be confronted in a dark alley by a dumped provider whose plans for earnings are thwarted because Sr Pimp relayed to him, in his language not mine, he was "for shit" on his date with me? Surely this can be taken by most here as a well-intentioned caveat emptor. -
Barcelona and Uber (Sauna Thermas)
Riobard replied to mvan1's topic in European Men and Destinations
No, the ticket is integrated and you can go anywhere on the Metro system. Just transfer, not exit. If you exit by mistake maybe you can re-enter. I have not yet made that gaffe. I think it is a two-hour window, activated at initial insertion, and you can even transfer to bus or tram within the allowable zones ... that would involve an exit and then card re-insertion. There are some aspects I do not yet understand or recall because I have neither the need nor time to research. For example, is it a special fare just to enter Line9 proximal to centre? Surely frequent travellers needing two stops only on Line9 not remotely close to El Prat use a regular fare, I assume. Wild guess: special fare only for embark or disembark T1 or T2. You only need to purchase T10 the next time you travel as per usual. For convenience, perhaps get it as you exit to your accommodations on your inbound date. Let's say you are outbound from Urgell. Just buy the special ticket there or at an earlier date (or 2 fares at airport arrival?) in case there were to be a glitch, but careful to not activate cuz I think it looks identical to T10. Hop on Line1 and as described, auto transfer at Torrassa. Keep ticket to insert for exiting to either terminal. I do believe tickets are not purchaseable until you exit there, so don't get stuck. You don't want to have to backtrack a stop or two to exit and re-purchase, again I am 99% sure the airport is the only station requiring ticket for station exit, or have to necessarily hand a fiver to a stranger for a favour. It is not foolproof and I have witnessed other Metro users make errors. If you are fatigued on arrival you might stick yourself with an expensive 10-ride special fare you'll never use. Come to think of it, a Lyonais was sitting beside me, having evidently got on L9 bound for airport without special fare, and course-corrected with friendly input. Aerobus for travel hours outside of Metro timetable. -
Marrakesh as a tourism enclave experiences same-sex activity tolerance relative to Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia more broadly. I believe Tunisia continues to filter online material, can legally detain prosecute imprison, etc, and its LGBTQ position and record on the world stage is lamentable. Wake up and smell the Shisha pipe.

DICK-stractions in Santo Domingo
Riobard replied to BlkSuperman's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
At the risk of leaping to a flawed inference based on a small dataset, I am going to throw out a personal observation and recommendation here regarding procurers. As a pimp's 'newbie' customer I made the strategic error of responding with candour and balance to feedback request, assuming that the nuances of fitness of match and of client characteristics would be listened to. I won't spoil the plot line by specifying the identity of any one particular broker. However, anything less than a stellar review can compromise a provider's position, get back to the provider with a less than graceful approach by the procurer, and make things a little uncomfortable. That said, the broker's reactivity in front of me may be smoke and mirrors for my benefit as he pegs me a certain way, a dynamic I prefer over compromising a local CSW trying to make an honest peso for survival. Better to be vague and make an excuse for non- repeat. Convoluted Reasoning & Anti-intellectual Pomposity? Yes, perhaps. -

I have more to add about my observations, and comments about others' interpretation of my cultural acumen, in relation to Santo Domingo, having witnessed in a short time there some exceptions to some of the thesis-grade content added here. However, I cannot figure out how to import applicable "quote" function into a new topic thread and I am conscious of my role in highjacking Snowbird's thread. I think it best to punctuate what can end up an arduous back-and-forth that may offer instant gratification for some but be long forgotten after a minute and buried in whatever news cycles emerge subsequently. -

Bogota and Brazil July August 2019
Riobard replied to pauleiro's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Encouraging ... I have locked in my flights and digs, essentially in Chapinero a Wed thru Sun inclusive. This may be asking too much precision, but I wonder if on weeknights when GEH is essentially closed (barring the suggestion that the Thurs StM show spreads up to the GEH space), for 1:1 private massage-room play would pre-show be any different than post-show in terms of selection and productivity? And I am thinking that maybe a solid midday repast works better as the day's main meal. Lighter fare in the evening to make time for venue play, -

I actually don't have a complete clue what the first sentence means, in spite of being largely Québécois. Perhaps it is because I find it odd that a French Canadian, other than a run-of-the-mill blowhard, would react so vehemently to that inocuous a question. Perhaps it is 'life' not 'lie'? Perhaps I don't grasp the "rumours" aspect. Was the Canuck behaving like the stereotypical UA (the colloquialism, not the novel title or protaganist)? As for "boy", I do believe that is an Americanism. I don't know its use in Austria, though eg "house of boys" may be an influencer. I don't recall any introduction to the term up to the point of initially completed three decades of hiring. But having TO and MTL dual citizenship, it may be loaded partly in relation to the young Portuguese Torontonian Em Jacques shoeshine lad homicide. What I can say that is that it is cringeworthy and not normalized enough in my context for me to like or accept it. I would expect to be slapped across the face if I sidled up to a hot local stripper and said "you are the hottest boy (garçon) here". Though he would likely roll with it's ATM accompaniment. The preferred term would be guy/mec. His close friend is "boy" (see below). Garçon for non-adult male or male server. Confounding, perhaps, I know. Adult Canadian males even in Rouyn-Noranda have inexplicably both dropped Céline like a hot potatoe and appropriated the term "my boys", where boys can be like "le weekend", ie either tongue ("boys" another Americanism, I think), for their besties, an artefact of musical genres that Québécois lads go batcrap cray cray over, dare I say racially slanted!? [Careful, Riobard.] Less incongruous a term over time in the friends circle context up here. But I don't think "boy" for trade will ever stick in a lot of places. -

Many of the Instagram hunks in my feed this week are using some neck-up aging app to look like baby boomers. Empathy with solidarity, or a send-up? It seems to be done with humourous intent. Maybe something like that would help sneak in the back door. -

I think we have different take-aways from what we read, eg Mitchell, but such is life. I thought we were mainly focused on sex tourism, as was the book. I, admittedly, lazily skimmed the final chapter on Bahia because when I read it years back I had no inkling of going there. ------ Ugly Americans are an exclusive group, then, of which I cannot be a member. It seems unfair that everyone else is denied a special pejorative and can simply be douches or not, some or all of the time. -

Thanks for the invitation to clarify, Paborn. I would likely not work hard to join a table with multiple conversations in the context of a setting with a lot of acoustic distractions. One:one or very small group works better for me. In another example, I might not throw in the cards (or towel in a sauna setting) so fast. What I meant by group composition and could have expressed better is that in this case, however erroneous my perception, the membership characteristics were relatively rigidified early on. Similarly, a considerably large group of midWest aid project workers at Grand's was solely one race. In another example, that SolaceSoul described his travel companions as being the same race, I have to read carefully so as not to assume the reason is exclusionary. A careless interpretation on my part would forecast that any expansion of his travel crew would not diversify beyond the woke and non-broke. Of course, in reality, the odds are the larger the group the greater the differences among members. This is, I believe, the universal law called 'regression to the mean'. Gregory Mitchell describes the diaspora link in relation to sex tourism in Bahia. The book Tourist Attractions that has been mentioned on the forum a few times. He made a convincing argument that in comparison to me, a white Canadian, Salvador had a distinctly different meaning for visiting African Americans. I am, admittedly, being far more simplistic than you, and perhaps too academia dependent in applying this theme to other parts of Brazil, RD, etc. And since, 99.99999999 % of all our DNA is shared, the notion that sex tourism is race-blind also holds water.
