While I was chatting to a friend in Pattaya last year he said something interesting. He said "you know in a 100 years from now, this whole scene will be so accepted, and guys like us will be looked on as pioneers and maybe evening studied in university" A bit fanciful regarding the university part of course, but it got me thinking, how will this scene develop in the coming years.
No doubt it is becoming more popular, look at the growth in LB sites and forums catering to our tastes in the last few years. More guys are becoming aware of a side of their sexuality they perhaps had not considered before or had urges and now realise they are not the only ones.
Personally I think in Thailand and other countries in the region it will continue to mushroom with more of us becoming comfortable about being seen in public with LBs. Regarding the rest of the world, who knows.
Personally I will continue to keep my face blurred, don't want my grandchildren spitting out their coffee as they research their thesis and stumble across some old photos in the college archives. :D
