I don't recall seeing any condos. Unfortunately, they retired to their room to finish the business. Damn!

The bottom line is, I need to keep myself busy in my retirement. Sitting at home on the sofa watching tv is not my thing. I've been active all my life. I love to go for walks along the beach with friends, and we always end up in a coffee shop where we chat and solve all the problems of the world. The secret is to find friends who share your interests and who can keep up with you. A lot of the activities I'm involved in were introduced to me by friends. For example, I never thought of doing charity work, but it's really rewarding, even though it only takes up a small part of my time. And I get to help others along with my friends. Understandably, many of my interests are based on my Japanese upbringing. For example, I grew up with karaoke, so enjoy singing. When a friend suggested I join his choir, I jumped at the chance. I'm certainly not a good singer but it doesn't matter because in a choir, your voice gets drowned out! And in the Japanese karaoke bars, the computer makes sure you sound great!🤣

I've been a top all my life! I started fucking when I was a teenager and have never stopped. Bottoming is something I decided I'd try and guess what! I liked it! In my retirement I do lots of charity work, hang out most nights with friends, am 'entertained' twice a week with guys who stay the night and leave after dinner the next day, travel back and forth to Japan and S.E, Asia, help the son of a friend in his real-estate business as a silent partner, sing in a choir, tutor students studying Japanese for their university entrance exams, try out different restaurants every week, take friends for joy-rides in a plane (I have a pilot's licence but don't own a plane), play Japanese mahjong (not the same as the Chinese game), practise Japanese martial arts which I have studied since I was a student in high school, go for long drives out in the country, participate in race days organised by my car club (I used to race cars in my younger days), go to the theatre, read poetry (Noyes, Hopkins, Rilke are my favorites), watch Japanese Youtube, swim, ride the jetski I bought last year, ...... I'm not the kind of person who can just sit still- I'm on the go all the time. For example, if I'm watching TV, I'm also on the internet or involved in something else at the same time. Now, if I were to cook, clean, do the gardening, etc I wouldn't have time to do all of the above.

Arthur and Paul is one of my favourite hotels! In case you didn't know, it's named after 2 gay French poets - Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine. The eggs Benny is one of the most delicious I've ever eaten. If you think it's too small - enough for me- you can always order another served. The bed was so comfortable I asked them where they bought it, as I wanted to order one for myself and have it shipped home. For some reason-which has escaped me- I couldn't get one. And during one stay there, a French couple were fucking by the pool! I don't consider it expensive, as it as, afterall, a boutique hotel with only a few rooms. Highly recommended!

I firmly believe in taking the easy way out whenever you can. That applies to everything. Although I'm a very enthusiastic top, there are times when it's just easier to lie on my back and put my feet in the air - usually when I'm tired but still horny. So yes, I guess I could be accused of being a 'lazy bottom' at times, because these days, energetic fucking takes a lot out of me. I'm not a teenager anymore.

Members are unlikely to be offended by personal insults made by a total stranger. If you want to have a go at someone personally, rather than criticise their comments in a post, just send them a PM. That way, the tone of the board is not adversely affected. And as a bonus, you keep insights into your sad life out of the public domain.

I had a house cleaner during my working life, paid for by my company. So it was quite a shock to the system when I returned to Australia, built a house and then discovered it had to be cleaned - by me!!!! So the first thing I did was hire a cleaner. A gardener soon followed, as I'd never had a garden in Japan and had no idea what to plant and how to maintain everything. He installed a reticulation system so the garden waters itself. Given our hot summers, everyone has one. I never cooked in Japan, either. It was eat at my parents' place, eat out with friends or pick up some ready-cooked food from the department store basement - much better than anything I could ever cook at home. I did try to cook when I moved into my place but soon gave up. Living by myself, it is easier to just go and buy something. At one stage I had a pantry full of cookbooks and every cooking gadget known to man. I ended up donating them to charity. Cooking for one is very uneconomical, as I was throwing out a lot of leftover food. When I have friends over for dinner I get a 'home chef' to come in and cook for us. That way I get to spend time with everyone, rather than be stuck in the kitchen. The food is always delicious and there's no cleaning up afterwards, as that is also taken care of. Plus, it is a lot cheaper than taking everyone out to one of our ridiculously over-priced restaurants. Friends think I've become lazy in my old age. But if truth be known, I've always been lazy! 🤣

I don't know of any because in Pattaya and Bangkok I've always had a small group of regular guys to have fun with. Had I been a butterfly and slept with hundreds of different guys, I might know a few. If something should happen to any of them, I'd be totally devastated. Thank God they hardly touch alcohol and don't do drugs.

Personal attacks only serve to demonstrate the sad life some people are leading. No fun, no joy. Just envy, nastiness and bitterness toward fellow posters. If I were someone reading this board for the first time, I'd run a mile. The board can do without these members. Over to you, TotallyOz.

A very wise decision indeed!

FYI - in case you weren't aware - in Chinese 1 denotes a top and 0 a bottom. You'll see 10 or 1/0 a lot on Chinese gay sites. See? I'm not just a pretty face. (Not even!) 🤣

Our resident Magats have gone quiet all of a sudden.

Happens in Bali, too. The young son of an acquaintance of mine drank a cocktail at the beach and is now blind. AFAIK nothing happened to the bar owner. So sad.

If he thinks the customer is 'revolting', why would he take him on in the first place? Oh, wait! It's his job!

He was actually expecting him to be "enthusiastic". Afterall, he is a paying customer. If the service provider doesn't know how to pretend, then he needs to find another job. 'I asked her if he was new, she said yes. I told her - no anger no accusation - it was not good; that the boy isn't into it; and that he doesn't want and cannot suck. She didn't seem surprised, and we said goodbye.' She wasn't surprised? Are you suggesting she knew all along that he wasn't up to the job? That she was lying to you? Surely not! 🤣🤣🤣
