Can you read?

It is quite the norm. As most US and European visitors are able to pay higher prices than most locals, sex workers in Mexico and South America have a double standard for pricing. In some countries it is worse than in others.

It is not funny, @mike carey. I hate it when someone likes one of my posts, I re read it, and find out typos that seriously impede comprehension. It happens too often.

*not making an analogy between 🙄

I set my phone at not disturbe between 11PM and 6AM. Of course, if I am awake I can notice the call or text. That "any" in your question makes it easy to answer. I do not think it is important to respond to any calls, but may be to some. However, the chances of a family or friend emergency during those 7 hours are low. Specially in contrast with the chances to get a call from a student, a student's parent, a hook up, or countless annoying reasons. I refuse to organize my life around the possibility of that one tragic call. Do not disturb fan here.

I agree, 15' late is not the same than a last minute cancellation. But 15' is not a tiny bit late. It is definitely fucking late. I agree with @Unicornhere. Lateness can be avoid if you respect others' time and therefore plan accordingly. I also agree that it is always the same people who is late and make defensive excuses. Lateness is absolutely unacceptable.

We also do in South America. Google it.

By the way, kudos to all of us. This thread is borderline Political Forum, but we all have behave so far.😇

I partially agree with you. I said that our fight is the same if you act after that empathy.

I am glad you are happy with who you are. But I do not understand why you think that being a gay man is better than being anything else. After all, you could have followed your childhood's girlish dreams. Who knows? Perhaps, you could have become a happy woman with a beard and hairy chests and all that girlish stuff AND you could be making it with many guys.

We? who? Do you think all lesbians, gays, and bis share the same fight? I do not think so. If you do, I do not understand why you think trans do not. I think all alternative identities share the same fight.

I do not think you know what your are talking about. In Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia there are no gay villages. Fluid sexuality is all over. There is transphobia, yes, but just as there is in North America or Europe. Or you think all American trans have a position in the Federal Government?

This is a blunt generalization and just not true. Nations like Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina have not only advance legal protections for LGBTQ+, but also an extended gay friendly culture in most cities.

I would say that if the tax payers money is invested in leveling the grounds and providing more opportunities to a discriminated demographic, go ahead. I am not thoroughly reading every post, so I may be missing something. I find interesting that your response went in that direction. I thought @Bucky's concern was not about taxes but about the countless categories in the pages he is referencing. I do think that this crazy going-after-endless labeling is going too far. I sympathize with that feeling only if it is coming from a mindset towards sexual and gender fluidity. I always though that sexuality was something to be described and explored, rather than explained and classified. I feel the same about gender, and this craziness against heteronormative supremacy is just switching to another oppressive normalization, only more inclusive. However, if the concern is coming from a mindset like "two or three labels are good enough, more it is going too far", I would be all for countless labels.

I meant "never closes down".

What can I say! I have never had such trouble.

I am unsure, but I think I responded your question in the other forum. I always rent airbnbs in my travels to South America, and never had any issues bringing GPs, sometimes more than one, and even to stay overnight.

I did not see Wesley in this trip, and I am right now at GIG waiting to board my flight back to the US.

Today I was really thrilled to be at the saunas during Brazil's debut in the World Cup. I had pictured 202 full of people, celebrating each time their team scored. Management was offering a free caipirinha with the entry, and a round of free beer every time the team scored. Initially, it was a total disappointment. When I arrived, they were still cleaning up and I was the only visible client, plus one GP I was not interested in hiring. The turned the A/C for me, and I had the wait well after the match started for them to be ready to deliver a caipirinha. As I was watching the game, I noticed that there was probably more people upstairs. A few clients and GPs would pass by. A couple of the GPs came to introduce themselves but I was not interested in a programa with any of them. When the second half was close to finish and the national team's victory was clear, my Favela Boy texted me to let me know that he was coming, and that today it was his birthday. So I ordered a second caipirinha and some fries to munch while waiting. Once the game was over, the movement started. One of the guys I had been cruising the whole week came to introduce himself. Mineiro, I think every time I come to Rio I meet more Mineiros than Cariocas. The guy is beautiful, IG model quality but with some imperfections in his face that make him masculine and very sexy to me. We chat for a while. He is versatile and, when I told him that I was waiting for a friend, he asked me who he was. I told him the name of my Favela Boy, and he suggested that we could make a threesome. When we were having that conversation, I had the pleasure to meet @Xclay. We had been missing each other the whole week, and here we finally had the chance to shake hands and chat for 5 minutes. Literally five minutes, because shortly after he sat and I introduced him to my new Mineiro friend, my Favela beauty arrived. I asked him if he knew Mineiro, and I perceived something weird between them, so I dropped the plan to have a threesome. It was about 7, and I wanted to check out of my Airbnb at 8, so I did not waste time. I abandoned the Mineiro and Xclay and ran to get a suite. By the way, I got #7 for the first time, I think it is the best cabin in 202. Favela Boy's performance was even better than yesterday. He is not as skillful in bed as my Super Lover is. But Super Lover is 28 and Favela Boy was in his 21st birthday day. His lack of experience was generously compensated by his beauty. He was so passionate! When we finished, he asked me not to tell anyone that he was bottoming, because he did it only for me. Of course, it is bull shit, but adorable bull shit. In retrospective, this disclaimer was probably related to the Mineiro. We showered and I ran downstairs to catch the Mineiro and have a quick with him. But he was not visible at the bar and, when I watched the time, it was already 7:50. I just ran out, I do not even remember how much was the bill. I am right now in the airport, waiting to board my flight back to the States. As usual, when I feel I finished warming up and I am actually having fun, I have to leave Rio. I must find the way to stay here for at least a month. This is my last report in this thread. Thank you for reading.

I am also unsure of this statement. African subsaharian countries are dominated by homophobic legislation, and homophobic cultures foster by the local brace of Catholicism and many Christian churches. Evangelicals are a disgrace for humanity. Only South Africa, I think, is an oasis of gay friendly legislation. At least that is what the adult entertainer who Rhyheim flew from Johanesburgo told me.

My closest personal experience was when I was a pre-adolescent and an adolescent. I had a group of cousins that included one girl and three boys, including me. One of the other boys was clearly bisexual and the other one as gay as I am. We used to enjoy a role play game where we would represent a family and switch roles. One of my aunts led an academy of folkloric dance and had a wardrobe with male and female traditional clothing. When one of the boys had to play the role of the wife, we would get in one of those dresses. I still remember one day, I was playing the wife and step out to the street to get in my uncle track while my gay cousin played the husband. One of his high school friends (I was living in Buenos Aires, this was happening in a small town inside the country) passed by and asked him who was the pretty lady with him. Of course, I giggled and rushed. My second experience is much less close to a trans situation. During the 80s and 90s I experimented with acting and directing theater. I was hired one weekend to drag and lip sing tangos in a disco. I still remember how painful the experience was because I could not find high heel shoes my size.

I do not think so. If there is any casualty, it is inverted. It is the normalization of alternative sexualities what allows the debate around alternative genders.

Being gay was already more socially accepted when the trans controversy raised. Your are mistaking causality and correlation.
