The New Season for Survivor got underway this week. If you missed it, you can download with Itunes. I love the Fiji Islands and hope this season was as fun as last. I really like Dreamz. He is hot. And, a cheerleading coach. Yumm. Also, Boo ain't bad. I don't know what I think of Rocky yet. He is sexy in a very street kind of way but I get the feeling I would not like him if I knew him. All in all, it was a fun night for me to get the season underway with my favorite TV show.

As they say, all good things must come to an end. I have really enjoyed my time on the GayThailand message board. I love the country and the people. However, I have been given a unique business opportunity that will involve the bulk of my time, effort and energy for the next 2-3 years. It is one of those opportunities that I just can

I normally stay at the Intercontinental Hotel in Amsterdam and have also had some great stays at a few other hotels downtown. http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ic/1/en/h...elsearchresults [attachmentid=178] On a recent trip here, I started looking for some lower price hotels and I really wanted to stay in a gay hotel but ended up back with the familiar. Here are a few places I have found in Amsterdam should anyone be interested. Anyone have any information on Prague and gay places there? 1.

>And all of them were in your house! LOL That may be the reason I never wanted to leave my house.

>Take it from me as an observer over some time. It wasn't >standard or even offered as an option on your make in that >model year. :+ LOL. Thanks! I agree with you. I have tried to go back to the factory line and get a restored engine but they keep telling me if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

> I do not >regret my earlier "slut days" (I had LOTS of fun!), >but I am now in a different mode :9 My dear friend, I am so glad you don't regret them. My boys adored you and you were always such a treat! I am glad monogamy suits you. I have tried on that suit a few times myself but perhaps I am still just too big to fit into those britches.

>I have to agree that some of the most beautiful twinks on >earth are in Montreal (and I mean inside and out... they are >such wonderful people)... though unlike in the past, they are >no longer typically dancers or escorts. I have always found dancers and escorts in Montreal that I adore. I will admit that the twinks of years gone by have faded from the public view but they often come back for short spurts. It all depends on when you get there and how much flirting and spending you want to do. That is one of the reasons I enjoy Black and Blue weekend so much. I did enjoy the club scene there but it is a long process to find the one you want. As you know. I am ADD and my attention doesn't really last too long for a prolongued hunt. I haven't checked out South Florida but will give that a try sometime this year. I did make it down to San Diego and had a good time but didn't do much of the bar scene. I'll be spending more time there as well in the future. I do miss the old days in NYC when twinks were a dime a dozen.

>I think I can come up with a few more then 6, just a few >more(hehe). Well, 6 that stay with me when I am there and are well taken care of when I am away. The others are just excited that the party will be big and fun.

I have to agree with you that Thailand is the best Twink paradise on earth. There is just simply no place else that compares. >Just make your reservations for Thailand where there are >1000's of Twinks waiting for your return. Well, not 1000's but I do know of 6 that are anxiously awaiting my return.

I have not lived in NYC for about 4 years. When I was there, I was very involved in the escort scene. I knew just about everyone that was working. I was browsing on this site, M4RNow and Rentboy today for an impending trip to the Big Apple. What I found was that not much has changed. Yes, there are some new faces but I was really surprised to find that many of the ones who were around 4 years ago are still around and working. I was also surprised to find that all 3 of the escort service sites I was familiar with: Campus, Maximum and Chelsea all had many of the same guys. Back many years ago, I knew many boys that just worked for a few years and then moved on. It seems that this trend has now vanished and has moved to a different level. It seems that many will want to stay around for years and years. Does anyone else see this? Also, what is happening to all the twinks? Should I scrap my trip to NYC and go to Montreal where there seems to be an abundance of them? If the twinks are not going to NYC now, where are they going?

Thank you so much for the great post. I loved the Asian Accents home. Have you stayed there and enjoyed it?

>Oz have you ridden I love riding. Hot Air Balloons, Convertables, Horses, bikes, guys. Once you get on, all those old memories just keep coming back and you don't forget. but if you aren't in the physical shape to take on such >a feat you'll be wishing after a few miles you hadn't signed >up. Just my half cents worth of babble. Thanks Greg. I do appreciate it very much. My body is old and used from many years of fun and games. But, I don't usually start things I can't finish. My motto in life is: -Life is here, life is now. Life is soooo short... and sex is just too delicious! Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Champagne and Strawberries in one hand, Diet Coke and Godiva Chocolate in the other, a personal bottle of Eros, A BOX OF TROJAN MAGNUMS, and a good Cuban cigar in the your pockets (ALL partially used), a wallet ALMOST empty of currency but noticeably used from the rainbow colors of THE SEVERAL bills THAT REMAIN from a multitude of countries and cards charged to the max from the joys of life, body thoroughly used up, OLD AS TIME ITSELF, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO - what a ride!--- Want to join me for this ride Greg? I'll be the first to help sponsor you.

I love Vonage.com. If you get a USA number and have high speed interent, it is a set monthly fee of 19.95 a month for unlimited calls in the USA, Canada and Europe. I find it great when I travel. The clarity is excellent and when I am away, all my friends and family can use the number to call me free of charge as well. http://www.vonage.com

I have always wanted to do a bike ride for charity. I am actually considering doing this one. Are there others that do this? Would it be worthwhile to get a MER group together? I had a friend once that did the Boston to NYC ride and it was truly an amazing experience for him. I was one of his contributors but also his friend and was there at the finish line cheering him on. That was many many years ago and since that day, I have had this in my mind. http://www.aidslifecycle.org/

Truthfully, I would love to blame it on booze. However, I have never been drunk once and I don't like any alcohol. So, truth be told, I had a brain fart. It happens.

Sorry KY, A snafu of my finger trying to edit my responce to your thread and it was totally deleted my apologies. Can you repost? Sorry guys! BTW: I say the Bears by 13

And I was able to meaningfully >consent, I think, since at least age 12. I'm not advocating >this for everyone or as a universal standard. I'm simply >reciting my experience as a sexually active minor. Damm, you were a late bloomer. I beat you by a few years. Of course I was 6 feet tall by the time I was 12.

Thanks for your post. I was not tearing apart your earlier post at all. At least that was not my intent. I respect your views on the matter very much. My statement was more along the lines of there is a line for everyone. To each his own and everyone has to decide where that line is.

While you are waiting for Scottt, I'll add my two cents which was not asked for but I just love sharing. I feel that most escorts are open to negotiations. However, it all depends on their need at that moment. Most I know are willing to negotiate for longer stays and weekends. Also, if the destination is appealing to them, they will go down in fees a great deal. I have taken boys to Montreal for Black and Blue in years past and the rate was great. But, I am not demanding on them sexually or time wise. I am also very up front with them with my expectations and theirs. I don’t ever ask an escort to change his rate for one hour or two. However, if they are someone I want to spend large amounts of time with, I will tell them: “hey, I am going to Brazil for a week. I’ll pay XXX for the week plus all your expenses. I’ll also make sure you have a good time.” I don’t consider this a negotiation but rather an offer. If they come back and say, I’d love to go but will you pay XXX, I normally will say that is not something I can afford. When I ran an escort agency in years gone by, our rates were never negotiable. They were set in stone. At least they were set in stone up to the overnight rate. Anything beyond that was discussed. I think each escort has a set rate for an hour, two, etc. I think it is changeable depending on the circumstances. I hired Scott about a month ago. I asked him his rate and paid what he requested. I did not offer less. If it were not something I could afford, I would have simply said no. I really enjoyed my time with him and I hope to see him again in the future. However, I am not much of a one-hour guy and as long as he is getting the big bucks, he should continue to go for it. At this point in time, I don’t see a trip to Thailand as a good business move for him at the rate I pay. I once had a escort I had hired on many occassion who wanted to go to Europe with me. I was not interested in an escort for the trip so I told him I would happily pay his expenses and his hourly rate for each time we had sex. He was thrilled and went with me. I can not tell you what a bad move this was for me. I should have said I'd pay the hour rate for each time I wanted sex not everytime he woke me up to play. I still had a great time but was too tired at the end of the night to really enjoy the day and too tired at the end of our nooner to enjoy the night. I also got inducted into the mile high club on that trip and enjoyed that the most.

>IF I knew that Oz owned a video production company where >barely legal guys were being encouraged to bareback, then, >yes, I would stop posting here. But I don't think that is the >fact as I have never seen anything to support it. I have always found it interesting that people pick and choose where they draw the line. When this site was started, there was a lot of controversy that I made money from a bareback website. Most of it was from evil doers on the other site. What I always found amusing is that for years, the hooboy site made the majority of its money from affiliates that have bareback sales on their site. What that told me was it is OK to link to sites that sell bareback videos and movies but not OK to own a site that was bareback related. It said that having big money being made from AEBN and TLA video stores was OK even if the top 10 movies downloaded were bareback but it was not OK to own a site that was bareback related. I had never quite understood the full argument. I believe any 2 consenting adults should be able to have any kind of sexy they want. I believe that any one person should be able to make all the decisions based on his body. I also think it is best to have an in depth conversation with sexual partners about their practices and if they bareback, I want to know. I think intelligent decisions are based on more knowledge. I have never swayed from this position. I have always believed that men who hookup with other men who are open about practicing bareback sex are making more intelligent decisions than those who hook up from other online sites that don't discuss it. Intelligent decisions are based in knowledge. If an escort barebacks with clients, I think the client needs to know this and make an informed decision whether or not they want to hire the guy. I don’t own a bareback video company. If I did, I would make millions. I guarantee you. I have never had the time or the energy to do this. I normally spend the majority of my time where I enjoy it. I love hookers. I love them in every shape and form. I love pimps and gogo boys and the like. Since I enjoy these things I spend my time on them much more than I do other things that I just make money from. Luckily, I am able to enjoy life and have the ability to do this. If I only spent time in the area where I made the most money, you would never see me here. You would most likely not see me on a gay website at all. I know many of you hate the smell of tuna, so I won't even go into great details. Truthfully, and please don’t spread this around; I am not a porn person. I don’t like it and never have. It has been many years since I watched a porn flick (at least 15). It is just not my thing. But, for those that love it, I don’t think I have a right to say you are not allowed to watch it.

When I first came out, I thought I wanted to settle down with one person and make quilts and read books by the fireplace. It turns out that life was not for me. Instead, I have jumped from one guy to the next for 10 years. I have had some long-term relationships of over 5 years each but they were open and not monogamous. I am not even sure that monogamy is possible for me. I have seen many that love it. I have seen many that say they are monogamous but they are fucking around on the side. I have seen many relationships that have rules built in that allow the relationship to stay strong. My question is simple: Is monogamy something you want? Do you know of many guys who are able to stay monogamous for LONG periods of time?

Looks like Harry Potter is growing up. He has said that he needed to shock the world to get the image of good Harry Potter out of everyone's minds and he has decided to do a play in which he is nude for a scene. The controversy is just beginning I am sure. The play opens in London this month. http://www.theatre.com/photos/3005734.jpg

>I call children raised by non-traditional families, >"children of harmony," and this world needs more >harmony. Wow. That is such a great way to word this. Thank you for that!

Thanks for the pics!
