Boys

Wow...what a great idea. It would even be better if they had it hooked up to an alarm system.

In Myanmar it has happened twice (2018 and last week) that there was a knock on the door when time was over. 60 minutes according to my timekeeping.

Well, that beats many of the Pattaya massage shops for duration. I can't knock what works

The massage quality was also good on my last visit to Yangon. Helped along by a few repeat visits to an outstanding masseur.

I recently met another delightful lad. Cute, friendly, educated, good to talk to and quite good in bed. He's keen to meet again, as they usually are.

I'd like to meet him again, but the only complication is that I noticed he had a few small growths down there. I didn't say anything.
I thought they might be genital warts, although quite small and flat. I'm not worried about something like HPV, as that's higly infectious and I expect most butterflys have been exposed to it.
No point shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. Also, I had Gardasil 4 years ago.

On the other hand, I'm wondering if it might be something else.

What you describe would be enough "red light" for me to either find someone else or do without.

I know.
There are no shortage of alternative boys. However, he's one of the nicest and most sociable lads I've met and slightly above average in bed too.
Ideally, I'd figure out exactly what it is and then make a decision. However, that's difficult to do without causing offence. Which leaves the rational choice of not meeting him again.

Those I want to meet again, I would mention the issue and even offer to pay for test and medication.

I have encountered all kinds of irregularities down there and other places (e.g. lumps in armpit, lymph nodes?), but mostly only places I pass or language difficulties, so I didn't take action.

The health of these guys is always a bit of a worry. This was recently highlighted for me when a Go Go Boy who had worked in Boyztown confirmed that he had tested positive for HIV. He’s back in Laos now and I have no idea what the treatment available there is like. I hope he gets everything he needs.

Recently, I stopped in a bar at the top of the complex.
This had a bar manager, a bar tender and 3 cute lads sat at the very front. With their backs to the customers, as they were trying to get more customers in. Without much success, as I was one of only 2 customers in the bar. I was served by the bar tender, quite efficiently.
Purchase: 1 customer drink, zero boy drinks

Compare with another bar I visited earlier in the trip. Again the boys are mostly at the front, but with more movement, helped along by them serving the drinks. In particular, one lad just started chatting to me after serving my drink. He did not even suggest that I might buy him a drink, but I liked him. It didn't take long to offer him a drink.
Purchase: 2 customer drinks, 2 boy drinks, significant boy tip. After counting up our various subsequent meetings, he's already had over 10,000 baht off me. Not bad when I'm a butterfly.

Now, with all the boys here, I'm not usually chasing around the bars for boys.
I go more to see who is around and if a nice example takes the initiative to put himself forward, there's a good chance of taking it further.

We're at the end of the month. One of my acquaintances is asking for help with the rent again. Which he's not getting.

1. I gather it's around 3000 per month total, shared between 3 of them. So I make that about 1000. He's had close to 10,000 in tips off me this month. He does at least get drinks off other customers, probably more.

2. If I were a cute money boy struggling to make the rent, I'd be on Grindr and other phone apps all day. Then I'd show up at the bar dressed to impress in a Euro Boys gogo style outfit.....
Instead, I note he was last on Grindr at about 5:00 am.

This boy is something of an exception, as the ones who are good at their job rarely ask for money.

You are not alone in that. I have become used to getting "I not have money for room" messages during the last and first weeks of nearly every month. They don't get money out of me either, yet they never stop trying. Sometimes it's the same boys trying over and over again and sometimes it's boys I've never met and never heard of. The only money they get from me is their tip if I "off" them.

First, I don't even believe them. Second, their money woes are not my concern. I didn't cause them. Third, in all my years living in Thailand, I don't recall even once any of these boys actually losing their rooms.

Sorry boys, but sitting at a beer bar for a few hours every night, staring into your phone, along with an occasional drink and off, followed by sleeping all day won't get you anywhere with me.

Boys, if you want money, then go to work and earn it. That's how I made mine and I'm not here to be a human ATM or a benefactor. If you are really in a money bind, you've got an expensive smartphone. Pawn it.
