But whole boy hunting concept lost it's luster for me.

I call it like Groundhog Day, the movie.

Even my trips get redundant, is why I'm adding new places/cities , like in India then Sri Lanka for my 1st time in October.

Hunting for guys will never get old, at least in different places 😝

Only places I've been recently for the sightseeing were Iguazu Falls and Taj Mahal without regrets..... not generally into sightseeing for the sake of sightseeing. I've stayed away from Brasil so far this year because I was Brasil'd out, believe it or not...it's a big world and Colombia & Panama filled the size desires in between with 2 visits this year 🤷‍♂️

Where I'm looking forward to go back in Oct is Jakarta and Surabaya, by coincidence guys from both places messaged me this week asking when I'll be back.... a sign from God or Allah ?

Perhaps you now prefer the Space Bar experience, as the approach, and if lucky, the closing of the deal is more exciting at Space Bar than the predictability of its Thailand equivalent.

Perhaps, it feels as if the Space Bar experience is more genuine and authentic? 🤔

Now It's more like " happy to see you again tomorrow but now can you eat bit faster because  we want to clean the table and go home or move to next table

Second part sounds like a chore. Is it the boy hunting in particular or the guys themselves that you find lackluster?

For me, guys in the scene in thailand still beats any on offer here, and long time is still rare treat here and in bangkok, its bordering on a routine.

Ah if its bangkok bar, I can totally understand the frustration, specifically for vinapu in bars like tawan where not just mamasan, but guys relentless pestering for tips, makes jupiter now a nice relief?

Whole experience in Phnom Penh is less commercial in my experience.

Absolutely  correct , when comes to Space bar I'd use it to be  more commercial, lol. Definitely no deals to close there , just pure bar fun

you got that right , I enjoy my anonymity in Jupiter  although with some concern I need to note - mamasans are learning there pretty fast, he, he

as I said on previous page ,  trip was great, boys were great. I'm not upset, disappointed or frustrated. It is simply me me who lost sense of fun or if one prefers , realized that what I thought was fun, is not fun anymore, just a chore with some fun sprinkled here and there.

skilful writer got himself hidden behind carefully selected words, trying to avoid any uncalled for negativity ?

A friend of mine is complaining about his reduced libido due to taking some medication for his hair. Hope your case is not something permanent.

Yes I agree with possibilty of trips becoming a chore. I don't have experience of 44 trips like you but during my 5 weekend trips this year, I did not enjoy all of them equally.

You are no longer anonymous in Jupiter. The mamasans know who you offed. They have good memory and never forget.

that's uplifting !

considering my age , 'a while ' can't be that long, lol.

I don't detect boredom, rather purpose seems to be lost on me
