Why not just give us the details here? That's okay to do. 

I thought this thread was about me for a moment. FYI, I don't charge, and I've never had any complaints.

No horrible stories about ingrown hairs after full-body waxing?

Beard = no shaving = no aftershave = no aftershave smell

But does your beard smell anyway?

Yep, I received the same e-mail. I'll be double-vaxxed by the time I can travel to the US and from what Qantas is saying I'll have to have the IATA vaccine app to travel. I will also have my Medicare app certification but I'm not sure a foreign certification would be enough. Perhaps the paper Australian Government vaccination card will carry more weight!

Proof of vaccination in the US consists of cheap mass-printed cards that are filled in by hand by whoever happens to stick the needle in you at _______ (fill in the blank with any location you can imagine such as a park, trailer, Walmart). So I'm sure whatever proof the Australian government ends up giving you will be more than acceptable in the US.

What about Tom Hardy?  I thought he was in the running as well

I like Tom Hardy, but he just doesn't look like a James Bond to me. Maybe that's just based on other roles I've seen him play.

Glad to see Hollywood demanding a higher standard for the looks of male characters, they have been doing it to women for a long time. 

Having said that, Tom is OK with nudity. So maybe they cast him and give us at least some booty shots? I'd love to see that demanded more from men as much as is it demanded from women too.

I am not sure who is dressing these guys, but a lot of the outfits werent sexy, and they almost always have Bad shoes...

Shoes are important, guys...

My suggestion:  NO clothing, just "prance" boys.....  Clothes DONT always make the man.....

I wish you'd given that suggestion to the DR guy. It's hot there! Working the catwalk literally balls out could've worked as his traditional dress.

Of course it had to be a catty gay guy setting off this whole "controversy"... And then he says he was mortified that he put her on blast? That was his intention, though. How about being mortified about being a nosy trouble-maker who has nothing better to do than spy on others' conversations?

lol, I wonder if they rehearsed this thing...and where they got the host...

I wished Slovakia did not shave his face, but he still looked hot AF in my book, but I think Colombia, Malta, Peru, Venezuela, and Togo killed it in the modeling competition, and I loved Puerto Rico, Peru, and Poland with their talent.

 

Host: The point of this competition is to show their sense of style and personality.

Dominican Republic contestant: I think my discount bin black sweater from H&M and wrinkled pants will do.

Come on now, y'all. Bond does need to have a fantastic body. Bond can't look like someone who'd be liable to make a pitstop at a McDonald's drive-thru on the way to stop an evil genius or need a break during a chase.

Bond needs to be able to seduce the pants off of someone while having the athleticism to karate kick their face in at any time.

He (and maybe she) doesn't need or want to rely on fancy tech. We have Iron Man for that.

A queer nation ruled by a circuit queen, anyone?

There's an older guy at my gym who works out in what looks to be very short lycra underwear. Saw him go up to a h-u-g-e bodybuilder-looking guy who was grunting during his bench pressing whether he needed to be spotted, but the bodybuilder politely declined.

I'm not sure what's going on with this guy, but I've been tempted to ask. 

I feel like most guys would answer "no" to whatever a guy in short-shorts asks them at the gym. So maybe don't wear them unless you want people to assume you're a bit creepy?

Oh, those Turks!…

Although this is obviously a little "over done" for YouTube, I can attest that similar treatment 
is not uncommon in Turkey. If fact, I wouldn’t dream of visiting Turkey without facial hair.
Visiting a Turkish barber is a highlight of any trip there. Some of the most sensual / non-sexual
things I’ve ever had done to me, have occurred in broad daylight in a Turkish barber chair. 

For the record, Moroccan barbers are a close second.

This really is a generational thing 🙂  20 years ago the West Hollywood Athletic Club went bankrupt and closed, the gym had no female members.  It was wonderful for many reasons.

I can remember in my Gay infancy in the late 90s large complaints about how women were infiltrating gay bars, specifically The Gay '90s in Minneapolis,  but presumably elsewhere, with their friends to fawn over the hot male strippers.

Someone very close to me who is in his 80s now looks back at his gay life and the gay events and organizations he belonged to and has ruled that, generally, women move in and ruin things.

So, it's both a different history and, in the case of people like my friend, a different attitude based, reasonably or not, on individual, non-millenial and non-zillenial, therefore ancient, experiences.

I kinda wish I'd gotten to experience that more "boys only" vibe of some years ago. Getting manhandled by women in ways that would have them kicking and screaming if a straight man did it to them gets old really fast.

I'm collecting so many merit badges that I feel like a Boy Scout. This should make my papa proud, right?

I got the answer in gayguides. I was advised to avoid those places, and to look for staying further from Parque Lleras, the touristic hot area where an anti sex tourism and prostitution campaign is focused.

Careful! We don't want to have to read you travel accounts written from la cárcel.

Anybody care to tell why are there women in a lot of The Townhouse pictures (and I don't mean the entertainment singers & piano players), if it's a "Gentlemen's Club"?  

Other than maybe when it's explicitly about sex (e.g., at a bathhouse), have you ever been to a gay party/club where women weren't present? I haven't. I'm not sure how old you are, but maybe there's a generational difference here.

A lot of women feel like either they're one of the boys when it comes to the gays, or that a gay is one of the girls. So they're more than happy to go to gay venues, party, and look at and grope boys without dealing with getting hit on and without their ladylike self-image taking a hit because, you know, they're just out with the girls groping girls (non-straight guys). And it's all in good fun for them.

That, and gays sometimes bring women as a security blanket.

I've clicked on this thread way too many times thinking the question is about post-exposure prophylaxis. The title gets me every time.

I worked on many teams over the years with both lesbians and straight women. Some were great to work with, some weren't. I rarely saw any connection between their sexual orientation and their professional competence or their personalities. I have also played doubles tennis with a number of straight women and lesbians; the only difference I have noticed is that the lesbians tended to have a more seriously competitive attitude toward the game, though they are not necessarily any better athletes than the straight women.

Sooooo...

Straight?

Lesbian?

Why bother going out for Chinese? Anyone can make it at home, ingredients all delivered from Whole Foods. 

Why bother going to a bar? Costco delivers booze AND glasses. AND ice. 

We bothered to go to the only place with moving pictures of men doing all the sex things, because it’s what we wanted. It’s what was available. Straight men had it for generations, and though mostly straight, they would watch cooter porn, and gladly retreat to a corner with another guy who wanted to blow him. 
Technology is just the means. Motivation is on us. 
(Sorry you missed out on the fun)

 

That's exactly what I said. Now, younger people have other ways to hook up available, so they generally don't go to those theaters. And I'm sure that affects their viability. I didn't generalize about why all gays are or are not going to the theaters, and I didn't say whether I ever went.

(Sorry you're weirdly making this about me).

Adventure, serendipity, and spontaneity. If people felt shame going to such places, they wouldn't mourn the loss. Most guys (yes, even the hot ones) are missing out on real connections and most of the time just end up jerking off and putting their phone down before meeting anyone. I also personally like to know if someone is a crackhead before they arrive at my door. The good news is cruising is making a massive comeback as a result of people being tired of being cooped up. It's just shame a lot of these places couldn't stay in the game long enough to see it.

Mourning the loss of XXX theaters has nothing to do with whether people went there in secret (which is what I said, not that people were ashamed about going there).

I understand your sense of nostalgia about porn theaters and cruising. But I don't think you're right about how the world works for younger gays (which is the demographic I was talking about). Perhaps older people might find it harder to connect in person as theaters disappear and cruising dies down. The gays tend to be ageist after all.

But younger gays  who choose not to meet up are not doing it for lack of opportunities... or because they somehow evolved to prefer cumming on their iPhone screens... They do plenty of meeting up if and when they want to. And technology gives them the opportunity to be selective upfront. So they simply have no need to go down to the theater or to the public toilets to pick from whoever happens to be there, all of whom might be crackheads for all you know.

Rockhard was a FRAUD, pure and simple.  Anyone buying his endless self-obsession bullshit was a fool.   We always butted heads because I had a REAL pic of him that a friend of HIS sent me, and he knew I could expose him.  He was just a middleaged, out-of-shape, balding "regular" dude, and not the glorified, gifted God he presented himself to be.  His self loathing of what he truly was made him INVENT the person he WANTED to be..... and he worked overtime to try and convince everyone he was just that, never meeting anyone he spoke with on this site or over at Boytoy..... catfish.

 

Fixed it for the cool kids.
