GayRomeo is very popular in Thailand and Asia. It is a must use if you are looking for money boys online. It is almost instant in getting someone. The rate for the boys on there are slightly less than the ones from the bars. The selection is great and there seems to be a vast selection of boys.

I am in total agreement. It is all about me if I am paying. If I really believed the guy was into it and wanted to cum, I'd help him do so. But, that is a rare occasion and honestly, when I cum I want them to shower and leave. I go from cuddly bear to get the fuck out of my place so I can watch the latest episode of So you Think you Can Dance bear.

I think the reasonable price to pay is the norm for the area you are in plus a tip for extra good service. In Thailand, the norm is about 1500 baht for a short time or about 45 USD. In areas like Sunee Plaza, that number is closer to 1000 baht or 35 USD. I know of many guys who only pay 500 baht so I guess I am at the high end of the spectrum in Thailand. In Brazil, the norm is about 50-70 R or about 30-40 USD. Although, on my last trip, a great deal of the guys were asking for 100-150 R. When I get good service, I do normally tip. In the USA, I think the average is about 200-250. I think this is a good rate for the market. I know you can get cheaper on Craig's List and much more expensive when you go for the superstars. In NYC and LA, a great deal of guys are asking for 300 USD. Most of the agencies in NYC are 300 an hour. I think it is good policy to research the norm for the area you are visiting. Make a post here and ask for advice. Then, based on that you have a good starting point. The main thing IMHO is to make sure that the rate is negotiated in advance so there are no hard feelings or misunderstandings. I think this is paramount to success. Lastly, the most I ever paid was to fuck a virgin in Thailand. I had worked on him for weeks and he finally agreed for over 10 times the normal rate for someone here. The least I ever paid is the area minimum. I have never underpaid anyone or taken advantage of a bad situation. I did have a boy in NYC (cute PR guy) I met at the Port Authority who used to give BJ's for 20 in the movie booths. He was cute and very thug looking. I liked him and spent time with him in my place. I told him anytime he need 100 US to come to my place and let me fuck him. I assumed that he would come every once in a while. It was a weekly thing for a long time and I think I ended up paying him about 150 per session after a while. This was about 15 years ago and while I am not sure if I took advantage of him or not, I paid him much more than he made in the booths but less than I would have an established gay escort.

In a past life, I ran an escort service and we were an Buy the Hour type of business. Every minute counted. If my boys were late to call me at the end of an hour I'd give them 15 minutes before I started to call them. I needed to know they were OK and things were going as planned. If it was a very regular client, I'd be more lax as they knew if they wanted 2 hours there was more money involved. In Thailand, there is an expectation that the time is not as important and not a fixed time frame. In those cases, it is important to know that is the norm in the country. It is not the same in the USA. In Brazil, most go to short time rooms and while I have never had a boy charge me for more time, if you go over the allotted time for the room, the sauna will most defiantly charge you for an extra hour of their room. In both Thailand and USA, it is almost understand that orgasm is not an "extra" and part of the service. However, for the boys in Brazil, they will often ask more if they cum as it is taking them off the roster for a hour or two and thus potentially take away a customer or two. I personally don't like a boy that watches the clock either and for me that is also important. But, I also understand that business is business and I respect their need to earn more money. I have rarely ever asked a guy to cum as I want him to be ready in case the has the option to work again and make more money. I guess that is the businessman in me.

Yes, I had sent a reply to you yesterday via the Online Question / Answer area. I guess you didn't get it. Can you look in your spam folder to see if there? Sorry for the inconvenience. Yes, there is an Ignore feature. Click on your name and a drop down area will appear. Click on the last one called Manage Ignore List. (see attached 1). Add the name in the box and submit it. (attachment 2). That is it. I hope this helps.

I have an Apple TV. I like it but I don't like the restriction that all the videos you play on it have to be in ITunes first before you can watch on it. I sometimes get AVI's and .MOV's that I want to watch and can't on the Apple TV. I was having lunch today and a friend said he was getting his changed to where it would allow those files and may others. I listened and then I read up on the Internet about this and it is possible. Has anyone done this with success? Any issues? I found this Gizmodo article on it. http://gizmodo.com/5082130/how-to-max-out-apple-tvs-potential-with-boxee

I think it was a very long weekend. My memory fades of the events other than his saying: "Present. Please. Present." Over and over and over again. His zero English and my zero Portuguese made for an interesting few days. As normal, I was on the phone with my Brazilian lady friend in NYC and she interpreted the conversations for us. But, the sex was great and I enjoyed him a great deal. I lost contact with him (name was Christian) and I have never seen him advertise again. I found him on one of the gay escort websites from Sao Paulo. My favorite time with him was a disco as he met up with all his friends and they were adorable as well. Of course, I wanted them all but he was not going to have that.

Hey, what is wrong with leather bears? I take great offense as I resemble that remark.

This guy is great. Gay. Sweet. Kind. Almost his entire family was killed in the Tsunami. He has been in Pattaya for a while and is often at Jomptien Beach.

I can't quite compete with TomCal's amazing pics and I certainly do not have the numbers of boys he has. But, this one was special for me and I really enjoy the weekend I spent with him and will have to say that he did take me for a great ride (expensive) but great.

I am sorry for the reason of your return. But, I welcome you back. I remember some great discussions before. Glad to have you back on the site. Your unique perspective is greatly appreciated.

I go from everything to Twink to Muscle. I love the Brazilian guys that TomCal posts in the Latin American Forum. I also love Thai boys as most of you figured out. If you saw the 2 types of boys I go for in both places, you would say: What the fuck? When in USA, I really like the skateboard guys as well as a hot black guy. So, I've covered my lust for Blacks, Asians, Latinos, and some whites. What did I miss?

Have a fantastic time my friend! I can't wait to hear your adventures!!!!

It is already there. When you go to post, look at the menu bar with the Bold symbol. Go to the end of those icons and the last one says Insert Media. Put the url there and wallah, it is done.

Aces, they have a program called JotNote that works in sync with it. I use it for my IPhone and it is great. Uploads to my Evernote account automatically.

Agree. Each one of these little victories just keep the pile getting higher and higher.

I have fallen in love with my IPad. I don't know how I ever lived without one. The BF really loves it and the only drawback is that we seem to fight for time with it each day. The battery lasts for about 10 hours and there has not been a day that we didn't deplete the battery. LOL I am curious what some of you that use the IPhone and IPad, what are your favorite apps? For me, I love 10 Pin Bowling. I find it addictive. I have yet to beat Firecat's score yet but I am working hard on it. Only about 20 points away. I also love the Crosswords app. It downloads about 20 crosswords from newspapers around the world every day. I can then work on them in my spare time. I usually only complete one per day, but I love the option of a variety of puzzles and it keeps track of the time it takes you to complete each one. The Kindle App is a must for those that have the Kindle and books from them. They transfer over pretty automatically and it is great to have all my Kindle books on the IPad. Anyone have other recommendations?

I downloaded this months ago and have to say that it is the best money I have spent in ages. I love it. It makes the sound on my Mac Itunes come to live. I honestly never expected a program would be able to do this, but it does. I give him 5 Stars! Here is a review: Digital Power Station (DPS) for iTunes By Lex Friedman, Macworld.com - April 2, 2010 Digital Power Station (DPS) for iTunes from Bongiovi Acoustics is a plug-in that aims to optimize the sound you get from your Mac as you listen to music or watch movies. I’ll admit that I was pretty skeptical about how much impact such a plug-in could have, but I’m delighted to report that I was a fool: DPS’s effect is immediate, impressive, and almost entirely pleasant. In fact, the plug-in has now ruined me for iTunes without it. DPS needs three bits of information to start working its magic: How you’re listening (headphones, built-in speakers, or external speakers), which specific model you’re listening with (as specific as which size iMac you’re using, for example), and whether you’re rocking out to music or watching a movie. Once your settings are all set, you push the large B button. The first thing you’ll notice is the loudness—DPS boosts the low-, mid-, and high-range frequencies alike, which in turn causes a significant dynamic boost. But the second thing you’ll notice is how much fuller your music sounds. DPS adds significant clarity, depth, presence, and punch. Bass becomes bassier, instrumentation becomes more well-defined, and vocals shine front and center. DPS works similar wonders with movies and TV shows. The plug-in’s Movie setting tries to balance out the dynamic range by ensuring that quieter passages get bumped up and louder ones don’t overwhelm you. I tested an iTunes movie rental and an episode of 24 that I ripped from one of my DVDs. In both cases, dialogue became much more prominent, and the overall soundtrack sounded superb. So how does DPS do what it does? The technology behind the plug-in was originally conceived years ago by Tony Bongiovi, a record producer and recording engineer (and yes, the second cousin of perhaps the second-most famous New Jersey musician). At the time, Bongiovi was attempting to get better audio in high-noise environments, like airplanes. What once necessitated serious hardware now can be powered fully by software. As he explained it to me, the DPS plug-in analyzes the source material in real-time, and reassembles it live to accomodate the deficiencies of the specific speakers/headphones you’re using. (SRS Labs’ similarly-priced SRS iWOW Premium for iTunes, on the other hand, offers different presets for different music genres.) The patented process is essentially the same concept as DVDs that offer movies with digitally remastered audio. To get the most out of DPS, it’s recommended that you disable iTunes’ Sound Check and Sound Enhancer features, as well as the built-in equalizer. That’s because of the plug-in’s real-time approach; it “listens” to your music and makes adjustments based on what’s happening in each song individually. In spite of its greatness, DPS isn’t perfect. Sometimes I found that vocal-heavy music sounded too punchy, and some live recordings skewed a bit more trebly than they sounded with the plug-in disabled. But frankly, even when I thought DPS’s optimizations slightly misfired, I still preferred listening with the plug-in turned on. And if you’re using third-party desktop speakers, or any non-Apple headphones, you’ll need to cycle through various unhelpfully-named presets—like Universal Earbuds 1, Universal Headphones 2, or Universal speakers 1 through 5. It’s a bit confusing, but I experimented until I found the setup that pleased my ears the most. And Bongiovi told me that customers can submit information about additional speakers or headphones that they use, and the company will attempt to buy those products and create custom profiles to optimize the plug-in specifically for those devices. Macworld’s buying advice If you listen to a lot of music or watch a lot of movies and TV shows in iTunes, Digital Power Station (DPS) for iTunes can make the experience a more pleasurable one. To see if you’ll like the results, grab the free trial and give it a test drive before plunking down $30. http://www.bongioviacoustics.com/ Main Site http://www.dpsplugin.com/ Product Download

I love Evernote. I would not make it through a day or a week without it. I love the way it helps me to organize data and to have it handily available for me. Evernote is (from Wiki): Evernote is a free suite of software and services designed for notetaking and archival. A "note" can be a piece of formattable text, a full webpage or webpage excerpt, a photograph, a voice memo, or a handwritten "ink" note. Notes can also have file attachments. Notes can then be sorted into folders, tagged, annotated, edited, given comments, and searched. On supported operating systems, Evernote stores and edits the user's notes on their local machine. Users with internet access and an Evernote account can also have their notes automatically synchronised with a master copy held on the Evernote server. This approach lets a user access and edit their data across multiple machines and operating system platforms, but still view, input and edit data when an internet connection is not available. Where Evernote client software is not available, online account-holders can access their note archive via a web interface, with more limited functionality. The Evernote software can be downloaded and used as "stand-alone" software without setting up an online account, but will not be able to upload files to the Evernote server, or use the server to synchronise or share files between different Evernote installations. As well as the keyboard entry of typed notes, Evernote supports image capture from cameras on supported devices, and the recording of voice notes. In some situations, text that appears in captured images can be recognised using OCR and annotated. Evernote also supports touch and tablet screens with handwriting recognition. Evernote web clipping plugins are available for the most popular internet browsers that allow marked sections of webpages to be captured and clipped to Evernote. If no section of a webpage has been highlighted, Evernote can clip the full page. Where suitable hardware is available, Evernote can automatically add geolocation tags to notes. The online service also allows selected files to be shared for viewing and editing by other users, and allows integration with Twitter for storing or forwarding "tweets". Users can also use the Twitter system to add notes to Evernote remotely, by sending tweets from any Twitter-capable device. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The cost for Evernote is 45.00 a year. I find it totally worth it. I like the ability to have extensions installed in my browsers and I see a page that I want to remember I just hit my Evernote button and it is now in Evernote with all data, the url, etc. If I forget the name of the article, I simply type in one word into my search in Evernote and it will appear. It allows me to easily find things that I have saved in the program. I also find it easy to store data there. For example, I have tons of photos. I don't like lugging them around with me. Every month, near the end of my upload limit, I upload all my photos from IPhoto for safe storage. This gives me a way to back all of them up. Also, I have family that I want to be able to access all my personal information. I had my sister install a copy of this on her computer and she keeps that synced. Now, if she needs to know my flight info, she goes there and it is pulled up. If she needs to see a copy of some document, it is there. All my PDF's are synced and all the words inside them are search-able. I LOVE Evernote! It is one program I cannot do without. http://www.evernote.com/

Understood. But, don't forget the Yin Yang principal.

Thank you. We do appreciate the effort and hope others join in as well.

I have now had 2 versions of the Kindle and I love it. The DX is the larger one and that is the one I currently have. They have International version which allows for download of books just about anywhere which is great for those that travel. I have a new IPad and it too is great! I have been using my Kindle App on it and all my books from Kindle and Amazon transferred over. I have to say, the extra features that are on the IPad are worth the money but I also like to play games, surf the net and check e-mail. The Kindle is fantastic and I still use it but it seems less and less since the IPad came out.

Great photos. Love the twinks!

Offers were made. Offers were ignored. I guess an influx of cash made the offer moot. Me too. Congrats! You are kidding? The myths of needing cash have been melted away over the years. If anyone actually believed that they were not dong their homework. I also beg to differ, when he comes back and asks for more money, again more will be given. It reminds me of the Jim and Tammy Faye Baker love affair of my youth. Good analogy. We welcome your One Finger and the four other ones as well.
