I always travel with a mop.

I disagree with circumcising babies - let guys decide for themselves when they are older. But I wonder how you would know about reduced sensitivity if you were circumcised just after you were born? You would have nothing to compare it with.

I was in phnom pehn in April last year. Living in Western Australia, I'm used to the heat, but PP was on a different scale. The heart radiating up from the pavement and coming from the surrounding buildings was unbearable. At one stage I felt dizzy as I was walking and had to duck into a coffee shop to cool down. I survived for about a week and then had to come home.

So I guess he's now accepting less then 10 inches! 😂😂😂

The invitation is based on cock size - 10 inches or more. I know, because I got one.

Would you like to start? And while you're at it, don't forget to list the negative actions, too. PS: please don't rely with yet another tiktok video. In your own words, please.

I don't see why not. Karaoke machines have been giving out scores to 'singers' for years!

Ah, yes! Pillows! Reminds me of the good old days at Eros when so much action took place behind the pillows. The guys working there didn't bother with them, but I found them useful when they were 'entertaining' me.

I, for one, don't consider the use of any sex toy 'perverse'. I just want to have sex with a real person who can express emotion. When my friends and I turned 20 - the legal age in Japan - one of the first things we did was to go into a sex store to see what was on offer. As sex shops are aimed mostly at men, there were lots of wanking toys available. Needless to say, we tried them all! But they didn't do anything for me.

Hmmm...boring design compared to a tenga, which comes in lots of different colours and styles. Also, I doubt this toy will be sold off the shelf in pharmacies, like tenga are in Japan. There are also lots of accessories in the form of towels, hats, t-shirts, carry bags, etc, all advertising that you are a proud wanker! It's interesting when watching guys on Japanese youtube sites, only to see a tenga proudly exhibited in the bookcase behind him! 😂 What's not to like about Japanese guys!

I have spoken to the sons of friends of mine on numerous occasions and asked them 'Are you getting any'? (It's ok to ask that in Japan). The answers are often the same - no. On asking why, I also often get the same answer - dating is 'medoukusai' (it's just too much trouble) But there are also other factors, such as work exhaustion, economic concerns, the changing role of women)who are increasingly demanding of their partners). Wanking with the aid of porn in one hand and a tenga in the other is considered a satisfactory solution. No more need to go out looking for a partner, pay for dinner and then pay for a love hotel. Besides, the guys are increasingly addicted to online gaming for their entertainment. I doubt gays are not having sex! It's business as usual in the saunas, clubs and bath houses. As a Japanese friend once said to me, straights hate us because we can have sex as often as we want.

I returned from tokyo yesterday. It was the best trip ever in and around Tokyo itself, as the free space available on the footpaths and in the shops was remarkable indeed. I took my friends on a short trip to Kamakura. For the first time in a very long time, the temples were almost deserted - apart from some locals and a few westerners - and we could enjoy the tranquillity. Whatsmore, we could even get right up to the statue of Hachiko outside Shibuya station! Now, I haven't been able to do that in years!

I couldn't think of anything worse! I like to watch the facial expressions of the guys I'm having sex with - especially when they cum. Also, if I have the money to hire a real guy, why would I want a lifeless doll? If I don't feel like going out, I can always invite him over to my place. Last week I visited the very impressive Harakado building in Harajuku, Tokyo. It has the huge Tenga wanking toy shop up on the first floor. I like to stand back and watch the parade of young guys as they peruse the selection and then make their choice of model . I like to fantasise about them using the toy. But I'd never buy one myself. In the choice between a toy and a hand, the hand wins - hands down!

I've always regarded male skaters the same way I see male ballet dancers. Gays are good at expressing emotion in their performances and their movements are generally more fluid, I think. If you look at the male dancers in the Thai gogo bars, the straight guys' moves are very wooden and seemingly uncoordinated. Also, gays are happy to wear flamboyant, feminine costumes. My favourite gay male skater /turned pornstar is Tyler Wu.

I met Bud a number of times; we both were fans of Eros. He would play with the guys and was continually handing out tips. They loved him, from what I saw. He was a lovely guy, just out to have a bit of fun. Any criticism of him is totally unwarranted, IMHO; especially by someone who never got to know him.

Which board are you talking about? Afaik Moses and Gaybutton are fine.

Somewhere in Tokyo.

If you wanted something typed, you had to take it to special companies which employed women to do the typing. They sat in front of a massive machine that had around 7000 kanji characters on a large wheel, and the typist had to spin the wheel to find the character, place the cursor over it and hit a lever. The characters were grouped according to certain elements they had in common (too complicated to explain here), along with the number of strokes to write them. It was a very specialised and time -consuming job. I bought the first personal typewriter that came out in the seventies. It used a similar system to classify the characters, which were laid out on a square board in front of you. Once you found the character you'd position the cursor over it and push a lever. You would be surprised how 'fast' you could type, once you got used to it. It did, however, require a good knowledge of kanji. This was later replaced with a digital typewriter. We still use the same system today. You type the word either in the hiragana or English alphabet and the word changes into the kanji. There are a lot of homonyms in Japanese so after you've typed the word, all the different words using different kanji for each meaning appear and you just choose the word. These days a lot of Japanese can no longer write kanji very well by hand, although they can read them without any problem. It's a bit like us when we don't know how to spell a word, but we can read it. Now Japanese is only written left to right or down the page. The newspapers often have headlines written across the pages but the columns are always written down, moving right to left. So what we would call the back page is their front page. The same applies to books and magazines.

Tokyo is now offering another delight - almost no mainland Chinese anywhere in Tokyo. Normally, the pharmacies are so full of them, all carrying baskets and buying up everything in sight. If you managed to somehow get inside the store, it was impossible to enter any of the narrow aisles. This meant that locals were unable to buy from the stores. Now, they are virtually empty. Yesterday I was anctually able to walk down Nakamise-dori, which is the street selling souvenirs leading to temple. Normally, you'd just let yourself be pushed along with the crowd. The lack of Chinese was most evident in the Don Quijote store we visited. (It sells everything ever manufactured in the world that can be put on a shelf!) Absolutely deserted, with more staff than customers. It's a store frequented mainly by tourists, not local people, so they are really feeling the pinch. A staff member said the Chinese just seemed to have disappeared over night, but that he was enjoying the quiet atmosphere throughout the store. I wonder if there has been a subsequent increase of Chinese visitors to Thailand and other Asian countries?

Japan uses 2 alphabets as well as around 2,000 Chinese characters. All 3 scripts are visible in the photo

A friend asked me to pick her up a fake Rolex when in Bangkok, so I bought one for her at the Patpong night market. After 10 years or so, it is still working and keeping good time! Maybe it was one of those fakes made in Singapore or Taiwan, rather than China. The problem for people who want to show off their genuine Rolex is that 99% of people immediately think it's fake! 😂😂

A few years ago I watched a documentary on royal visits to Australia. A young princess Anne was being interviewed. 'What do you think of Australia, love'? She gave him a steely look. 'I'm your royal highness!' Many people did not appreciate her putting him in his place. This is Australia - OUR place, not hers.

Really rich people don't buy Rolex watches - they buy million dollar watches from boutique manufacturers like Richard Mille. I'll show you mine if you show me yours! 😂

I grew up in a society with a strict heirachy, in which we all knew our place. I learnt at an early age not to question things and above all, not to say or do anything that could offend others. (These societal norms do not apply among friends, where we can, and do, say whatever we want. It acts like a safety valve.) On returning to Australia to live permanently, I was surprised at how blunt people were when they spoke to each other, and was often deeply offended. I gradually learnt that that is just the way Aussies are and came to appreciate their straight forward way of talking and they way the openly spoke their minds. I was used to keeping my opinions to myself and was always conscious of not treading on other people's toes. And that is how, by and large, I have continued to live my life. Social media is little different; it gives me more freedom to state my case of offer up an opinion. And I have written a few fairly blunt letters to the editor of our local newspaper. If I find someone in real life annoying or argumentative, I just move away from them. No aggro, no angst, no stress. I love it! And when I am in Japan I quickly switch back to treading carefully and walking the tightrope.
