Right on PD, AC is a relative bargain but for how long? ... there are not that many ladyboys about. I would guess like 50-60 max, of who you might see up to 20-30 doing Fields and Walking Street on any given night. So maybe there's only like 20 sissy punters on any given night and supply meets demand. But what if the number of punters shoots up to 50 ? or 100 ? Perhaps more ladyboys will materialize to meet their demand ? Or perhaps the existing ones raise their prices and shorten their service? Already I am experiencing that with ladyboys not interested with latching on to me, which in the past was the norm. What I pay them (fee + benefits ) is clearly not enticing enough to get them off the streets where they might do multiple tricks a night or run into a sucker. Let me just extend my pessimism to AC in general. Several of the bigger hotels have not reopened from the COVID closures. Some new high rise ones under construction 10 years ago were never finished like the 2 skeletons next to Tequilla Reef that were supposed to be big hotels. I think the hotel investors thought the supply of girls would remain plentiful and cheap forever and the number of mongers would skyrocket like in Pattaya. Not the case. Unlike Pattaya that has a beach and aptitude for non-sex tourism, in AC there is nothing else to do if the girls stop selling pussy. Just another big dirty noisy PH city. Without the girls there is no reason whatsoever to go there. Anyway it's the Koreans calling the shots in AC now. And btw they are very friendly to non-Koreans. They now own a lot of the bars along Walking Street and the owners personally stand at the door politely inviting you in. I also see they are moving from Koreatown a few miles away near Clark to the Walking Street area and staying at the same hotels westerners do. They definitely avail themselves of the younger cuter GGs and are not seen (in public?) with the homely, older ones. The GG situation is mixed. There are gorgeous ones around and they are barfinable but not less than 3000 pesos, which is not bad LT if they stay. I would not know. I did not barfine any. Even more gorgeous ones freelancing in the disco, but they are picky and more expensive I hear. The Gogo clubs no longer are open every night (I did not got there much). Like the ladyboys the GGs are not eager to latch on as in the past, as they know they can get customers easily. There are some low-end ones street walking all along Fields including some who looked to me to be underage ones. Right under the gaze of the cops and I wonder if they are in cahoots. I am going to stop here. I am in Manila and I am about to meet Snow White who is coming to me escorted by her elder sister ..

Very funny gents... A 19 yo virgin PH ladyboy is almost an oxymoron as here they get going early, often forced by relatives. But on top of virgin, Snow White told me she has never even been kissed. Whether true or not, I am not worthy of such delicate flower but it seems it's going to happen... I feel bad about the idea of her mother accompanying her to Manila to deliver her to a stranger and I imagine how the poor woman must feel. Poor as in poverty. But I will not make up excuses or redemptions. A few hours after my previous post I got another communication from Snow White that had reached the ferry boat crossing to Luzon (the big island where Manila is located) and now she has arrived already. She and mom will stay with a relative and I will arrive there in 2 days. Sorry if I over-dramatized in the previous post. Was trying to spark some interest. But too few readers for that. Meanwhile here in Angeles my health got better and I think I am back to normal. Still dont know what it was that hit me. Yesterday I attempted sex with John Lennon but something about it felt wrong to me and despite all kinds of stimulation it just did not rise to the occasion. Only then and witnessing my frustration did John Lennon tell me she had learned one hour before her grandfather passed away from a heart attack. That's how good a kid John Lennon is. She kept the bad news and pain to herself and joined me in the room where I took sexy pics and fooled around for a while before attempting penetration. We slept a late siesta and then went for dinner at Envy (across from Phillies) and then I gave John Lennon 20 bucks to go mourn her grand dad by herself or with friends while I retired to the room. She rejoined me at like 2 or 3 in the morning. Then at 7 in the morning I got a call from an old acquaintance trans who had seen me with John Lennon the night before and she asked if she could come to my hotel to sleep. I could not refuse. But it's not sleep she wanted but to make a quick fare. It was the morning so I had no problem getting hard this time with her expert oral skills, but she refused me fucking her saying I am too big and the times we had fucked I made her bleed. That's not how I remember but if I insisted I the mood might be lost so I let her straddle herself over my face jerking while I licked her balls and jerked myself. She came. I did not. I will save it for John Lennon or another one who is coming later. Until then, I had not really taken a good look at my old acquaintance as the whole time we fooled around we remained in the near darkness of a room with the curtains pulled. Only when she was leaving did I see how at 22 her face looked so much older and harsher than I remembered. She had tried to quit the business but it pulls them back. I gave her 1000 which she protested as small but she knew it was actually quite generous of me. I think we both knew it was our last fuck. I mean, non-fuck.

Thanks Z and interesting theory PG about me being geared more for group sex. I did have some 1-on-1 with Mowgli but it's true that not as voraciously as when we first met in January and not every time she came to meet me at the hotel. I think the problem was she would come over for a couple hours in between classes or family routines and I just did not feel like revving up my libido. I also definitely have affection feelings for Mowgli and that may be throwing off my game. Here in Angeles is a different story. I am at the Wild Orchid with 2 wraparound swimming pools and all the local sissies want to come and party here during the day. While they are at the pool I stay in the room and from my balcony overlooking one of the pools I can just wave 1 or 2 to come up and get frisky. Or rather: I COULD. You see I am freaking ill. It feels like very mild COVID symptoms but I self-tested yesterday and a second time just now and both came up negative. Probably a flu-like infection. Or something I ate. Like sissy ass. But the bottom line is my body and throat ache, I have a temperature and I will be sidelined for the next 2 or 3 days... So I got rid of all the sleepover sissies with the exception of John Lennon who is sleeping peacefully by my side as I write these words at 9 am. I am now going to share LIVE what I am feeling this very moment which is that I may have been scammed by a high school sissy I met for like 5 minutes four months ago. If so, this is a very candid humbling admission to make so I can't guarantee I will not delete this post later along with follow up posts rubbing it in ... hopefully not. Here goes: Last January I traveled to a tiny remote island (Daram) in the Visayas to visit an old acquaintance ladyboy and if anyone is interested in knowing more you can read about it in my Pelé jersey TR. While there I also met more local ladyboys, which was not difficult since it was during the local annual fiesta and I was the only gringo in town and word quickly spread that I was into sissies. One of those sissies was a very special delicate beauty who got my attention but somehow I got the impression she told me she was 15. She wasn't. She was 18 and has since turned 19. Let's call her Snow White since she has the whitest of delicate complexions. We stayed in touch on Facebook and Snow White put on a very romantic spiel of how she liked me the moment she saw me because I am such a good person (not because I am handsome!). She asked me to come back to the Visayas to be with her in the nearby bigger island and that she wanted to give her virginity to me (she says she is!). I was still under the impression she was 15 so I told her let's wait, maybe in a few years. She protested saying she was 18 and a graduating high school senior, which would corroborate her being at least 18. But she had no ID. Not even a school one with birth date. So after much back and forth, Snow White persuaded me to send her money (like USD20) to get official government ID which entailed a boat roundtrip to the nearby bigger island where the ID offices are. No big deal. I sent the 20 and she got the ID and in the meantime she turned 19 and just last week posted pics of her high school graduation so I am satisfied she is 19. Snow White wanted me to go visit her during this trip, but I told her if she wanted to meet she would have to come to Manila instead, which she eventually agreed provided I sent her upfront transportation money which to me entailed the risk of she just keeping it and not coming and me looking like a fool. After more back and forth she got me to send 4900 pesos (like USD90) to cover the bus ticket (2500-3000) and the boat (200) and Manila transportation and food during the 24+ hour bus trip. At the last minute on the day before departing, she asked for more money to bring the mother along to guide her, but I told her a firm NO! not sending more money, borrow it and I can reimburse the mother's fare once we met in Manila. Or othewise I told her to just stay there and keep the money! So what does Snow White do this morning? She brings the mom anyway. They take the boat from the little island to the big island and once at the bus terminal Snow White confirms the money is not enough and just matter of factly asks me for another USD 25, while sending pics to attest she and mom had started the travel. What was I to do? It's not about another measly USD 25 really. So I relented and sent her the money and haven't heard from her since. Did she get on the bus and no longer has data coverage on the remote roads she is traveling? Or did she con me and then block me from seeing her online and is now with mom on her way back to their island with the additional cash I sent? If so, I am out USD 150 with potentially nothing to show for it but embarassment and rejection. On the other hand, if she is a bad character who would scam me, this saves me the time and gifts I had prepared to invest on her including a week long trip to other islands... I would have spent far more than 150 on her over a week and even brought an old ipad to gift her. Call me a romantic fool, but I think she is on her way and we will meet in Manila and have a wonderful time together... I will leave you today with this cliffhanger. Whether or not she is on the way to Manila and arrives there I will know by tomorrow and let you know.

thanks gentlemen. the trip goes on with highs and lows, the lows being that the only latcher on is John Lennon while others who expressed interest to stay come and go. I also had a premium one on the pipeline who may not show up despite me sending long distance transportation money. Today I emptied the photos on my camera (have more in the phone) and thought I would post here some so no one thinks I am making the whole trip up. There is a pic of the optician ("EO") which is located on Robinson Mall Ermita and I was so pleased with my new glasses that I ordered a second non-progressive aviators. Sorry I don't describe the pics, but it will be fun if you match them to the fucks I reported above. PS - whoever gave me the multiple likes in a row THANKS! I suspect I know who you are, but can't be sure...

Thanks PD & PG, I think there is broad agreement the election outcome will not impact TH mongering much as there are other more determinant economic and demographic factors at play pushing in the direction of the end of mongering as we knew and relished it. I just want to add 3 things: - The TH sex tourist industry may have peaked but it will still be around in expressive enough terms for at least another decade, which is not much less than the time I think I may have left of sexual activeness. There may not be hot 20 year olds at discount rates like we got used to, but there will be plenty of 40+ MILFs who grew up in the sex industry and dont want to do anything else. I am seeing a lot of such women trying to meet customers in Pattaya and Bangkok's regular bars and discos and I am not averse to hooking up with them. Perhaps there will also be droves of 40 yo ladymen trying to meet but at this stage I cannot see myself going for it. - A lot of TH veterans are now talking of the PH as the next frontier, but here too things are changing fast. Don't assume the white man is at the top of the natives wishlists like we were in TH. The Koreans have pretty much made the PH their playground and I am starting to see Indians and Arabs... - Yes I have the skills to continue to meet young, hot sissies. But will I continue to have the drive ?

wow The-Sith what a story ... thanks for sharing. More than latching on, you fell into a mini extortion racket with a violent component. But what is truly exceptional about your story is that you'd run into the racket's subsequent target (since it was only 1-month later and his head wounds were fresh) and that you did so 2000+ km away from the scene in a metropolis of 5 million people. Seriously: what are the odds? You could have won the lottery if you beat such odds on a lottery ticket... Over the years, I have never experienced anything significantly stressful with my latchers on and I made the most of it in terms of GFE. Perhaps I was never in a particular place long enough for it to become an issue. Two of my latchers-on you (The-Sith) are quite familiar with and they are in my TOP 10 most memorable ladyboy experiences: Pattaya JENNY and BKK NOON. I know Noon didn't, but did Jenny also latch on to you The-Sith? I had a few other well-known ladyboys latch on including in 2019 TJ's LILY sorta latched-on for a week but she did not stop short-timing her core regulars so it was kind of a strange latch on with her coming and going and eventually it was her who got rid of me. My problem has been with fucks who try to latch on AFTER I depart and want to develop a relationship or a sponsorship. There YES! I tend to be "too nice" and let them down softly which is a waste of my time and emotional energy. It is especially hard for me to do it to the single mothers and the desperately aging MILFs. So far this trip I am having trouble getting latched on. There was the Manila MILF who did a runner on me after taking a nap. Then Pixie yesterday who left in the morning and contrary to expectation and expressed intention never came or called back. Then last night I met another scrawny sissy with a big cock who John Lennon vetted to come with us to the Visayas so I assumed she'd be a latcher on but she left right after the threesome. I tried to fuck her but she was so tight and I was fully engorged but not rock hard so it just would not go in so as a last resort I told John Lennon to assume the position and shoved it in him instead. Good old John Lennon. Thanks for latching on. You are broadly right in that Mowgli is quite a unique sissy situation. On one hand, she comes from a good family, is educated and prioritizes her family harmony and school work. On the other hand she goes around fucking old punters like me within minutes of meeting them. I was not her first gringo (I was the second she said) and after our first encounter in January she had 2 more. She basically gives her number to foreigners who ask and if they call her back she meets them. She tells me all about it so candidly I have a hard time passing judgment. I think she is in it for the thrill of meeting and experimenting sex with multiple foreign partners. But as a lover she is pleasure-giving not pleasure-seeking at all, which makes it even more baffling since she does not demand anything in return. I am afraid this is going to end bad for Mowgli as sooner or later some jerk will hurt her feelings and she will no longer be such trusting, giving little vixen. Mowgli is very attractive both beauty and personalitywise and I went out of my way to stay in touch with her and bring her meaningful gifts from Europe ... She all but said she loved me but only once. After that she returned to her cheerful detached self. I have not heard from her for the 2 days since I left Manila... I don't view this as a sign that she is snubbing me, but that she is giving me my space... I am supposed to see Mowgli again later in the trip. Will I ?

Last weekend the Thai military status quo was routed in national elections and an encompassing national coalition is set to take power in what looks like a societal-changing turning point in Thai politics with the military having to finally accept a lesser status, and likely so will have other paramount Thai institutions. But let's not elaborate here on prospective societal changes for Thais other than what they may entail for sex-oriented farangs like us. Personally, I think this election is another nail on the coffin of Thailand as we know it. Despite seeking more civil freedoms, the new political forces are embued with a sense of national rebirth and social justice and are likely to also want to end the status quo of Thais as sex entertainment for foreigners many of whom of dubious character. So the irony is that as westerners we tend to choose free speech and civil equality and to condemn how Thailand falls short in that regard, but the fact is that we have long personally benefited from Thailand's authoritarian system and class rigidities that has allowed the exploitation of its most vulnerable citizens (youths from poor families of rural areas) and has even quietly profited from it (i can't elaborate on this one). Such class rigidities in Thai societies have also benefited us in terms of low cost labor in trades other than prostitution (maids, taxi drives, restaurants, etc.) that are complementary to the mongering. My take is that it will become hard for a populist, electorally-minded government to ignore calls for dissipating the sex industry, or whatever is left of it since it is shrinking already regardless of politics. What do other BMs think? Is this election going to affect our mongering one way or the other?

Hi there Putty Tat ... nice to have you back ... Yes Z Mowgli was the only trans I saw in Manila plus I had a go at that G-Point MILF prosti who cut short the LT. I am quite fond of Mowgli who is a college freshman (freshtrans ?) and the time we spent together was conditioned by her class schedule and a family curfew of 10 PM. Yes I have plans to travel to a more remote island in the Visayas and yesterday I moved from Manila to Angeles. Stay tuned. My arrival in Angeles had been eagerly expected by my local scrawny sissy regular I call John Lennon who no longer wears the characteristic round wire rimmed glasses. We first met last year and she is not most mongers' feminine ideal but I dig her lanky (she is tall) femboy looks and she is grateful that I do and totally latches on. We reunited at Kokomo's for a late lunch/early dinner. Then got the first fuck out of the way. Took a post-coital nap and I probably would have slept through dawn but John Lennon woke me around 9 PM to go party. We went to the Phillies corner and there were more ladyboys than I have ever seen, in excess even of the 20 I said above would be a max. Many new faces and some seemed way too young to be there. Beware! Also saw there a couple GGs who were definitely way too young. I am well known by most of those street trans and they all wanted to hook up and I paid a bunch of them milkshakes but in the end focused on one I had met 4 years ago who had had a crush on me and then stopped talking. Let's call her Pixie. She is now a mature 22 but has not gained one ounce in weight since we met. She has however blossomed into an exuberant confident extrovert and I took her and John Lennon to Shinma (used to be Paddy's Point) and it was Pixie who started the floor dancing and put on a slut dancing show all night. The place was packed with pinoy kids and I was the only gringo there. At around 3 AM I took the 2 bekis to McDo and then to my room and I slept in the middle but was focused on getting reacquainted with Pixie. We agreed I was paying too much attention to her and John Lennon might feel rejected, so Pixie left at 11:00 AM and John Lennon is here with me sleeping naked by my side with a glorious erection as I type this update with my laptop on my gut.

"LATCHING ON" And if yall think the PH women latched on back in the day, you shouldaseen them sissies. They begged begged to stick around and would say upfront no need to pay them. They were bottom of the prosti barrel outcasts and were just grateful to be seen in public in the company of a foreigner who could otherwise have picked a woman. It's still like that to some extent in the PH although they are not desperate for customers like back then and you will have to pay them more than food and drinks. So Professor Rom asks: what prompted such change ??? And Professor Rom has a thesis: PROJECTED STATUS Back in the day a whore with a farang in tow would convey success to her peer-whores for having a cow to milk as long as the cow was in the pasture. The underlying GFE the whore provided was part of the strategy and viewed as a master skill. Nowadays peer-whore success is conveyed by having many cows and not treating any of them as more than cows. That's why bargirls are eager for shortest possible STs so they can go back and Hi-5 each other after being gone half an hour and pocketing the weekly equivalent of a day laborer's wages. GFE, like in the West, is for suckers and will only slow the cumulative farang count which is now the basis for peer-whore recognition. Do other BMs agree with my thesis? If not, feel free to counter it with your own. Today is my last night in Manila and tomorrow I scoot over to Angeles where group sex awaits me. Mowgli had school (college!) most of the day and came over only for lunch and we sucked each other and then went to Burger King. She wants to return early tomorrow for the buffet breakfast. I could have slept with someone else in between but my focus got absorbed by some unpleasant real life shit back in the US and I chose to remain alone in my room posting anthropological theses and daily highlights to ladyboy boards.

Tough question to answer PG. Unlike Thailand, the sissy meat market in the PH is more segmented and intertwines both with amateur and romantic pursuit... So I will just give a broad picture of major meat sources: Ladyboy bars - As of this writing I know of only one in the whole of the Philippines. It's in Manila Adriatico and is imaginatively called "Ladyboy Bar"and it's a rip off joint. It is there mainly to scam customers with trumped up charges and pricey lady drinks and to pull one sissy outta there costs an exorbitant barfine of for sure over 100 USD plus whatever fuck fee you agree. They do have some hot ones, so your best bet would be to get the phone # and get out of there quick. Street ladyboys can be found at night in Manila Ermita outside Robinson Mall and offer themselves at very low promotional rates. I dont bother with them because some are likely thieves. There are more in numbers and more attractive in Makati but are more expensive but I would not know current rates..I'd guess they start at 2000 at least, which is what the Makati street girls start at. In Angeles you have a more competitive market and you can still score a cute one P1000 ST if they see latch-on potential in you or they are desperate. I think they expect at least 1500 P LT. That's USD 27 at current rates. When I hook up with one for extended periods I target a daily rate of 1000 plus the rivers of money I spend partying with them that I don't even want to count. Online ladyboys is increasingly the way to go and many don't even ask for money. At least not sex-transactionally. Try pinalove, Badoo, Tinder. A fellow BM punter swears by grindr. I find myself increasingly hooking up like that, including my current crush Mowgli. The cost is whatever you want to give them. You will know if it was too little if they stop texting. Finally, you can just meet non-prostis by chance in public places. Look, smile, small talk, ask for a phone number or FB, invite for a drink. They never take offense when a foreigner shows interest in them. The odds of them joining you in bed are very good. One thing is for sure: there are plenty of ladyboys in the PH, but you have to chase the quantity. It's not like in TH where you can still find upwards of 20 in some bars... in AC on any given night you will not find that many. Ladyboy-mongering in the PH used to be a niche activity. Now becoming less and less so and even though there are more P4P ladyboys than ever, the number of sissy mongers is growing even faster so prices are being driven up as a result. And if the Koreans get into the scene it's goodnight Daddy Rom. Hope this helps.

Yes Pdoggg: HASSLE! I am increasingly feeling that some mongering actions that used for me to be a thrill are becoming more and more of a "hassle". It's not that I stopped enjoying sex or the pursuit thereof, just that I have become older and more learned and now tend to anticipate the ensuing hassles before they even happen. For example: I have become really proficient at sweeping 40-50 yo non-prosti pinay women straight into bed within an hour or 2 of us first meeting. But then they all want to latch on to me, some say they fell in love with me, and it becomes a HASSLE to disconnect from them without being hurtfully blunt which is not my style. So, as I write these words, I lie in bed alone for the night because Mowgli having sneaked out last night to be with me cannot risk doing it 2 nights in a row. In the past, I would relish the opportunity to pick someone else absent my default partner. But today I just stayed in. Not out of consideration to Mowgli who I am very fond of. It is because of the HASSLE of meeting someone new. Grooming myself, cruising, drinking, negotiating, putting a condom, tipping or not ... it all feels like a Hassle tonight... I am afraid TRing is starting also to feel more like a Hassle in lieu of the fun creative outlet that motivated me in the past. That's all I have to say today... R

PG's interest in taxi scams sparked my own and I googled "NAIA yellow taxi scam" and there are a lot of internet records of it. By law Manila taxi meters are set and sealed at standard fare but apparently the yellow airport taxis are routinely rigged allowing drivers to switch to faster distance metering. Moreover they try to subtract the duplicate piece of paper record the dispatcher gave the passenger (I actually allowed it this time). It's all the more brazen since these are official airport taxis. Come to think of it, I have probably been overcharged before only not so much as this guy was trying to. In the end the trip (after he reset the meter to regular fare) was 300 pesos (same as a regular white taxi). I may in my last trip have paid double that and thought it was a legitimate premium charge for the airport taxis. This guy just was too greedy and it would have cost 4-5 times more. Next time I will know to convey upfront before I even step into the car that I am not falling for rigged meters ... or I take a Grab. As to the pics, I may post some later on especially when I go outside Manila. But the only ladyboy I have been with so far is Mowgli who I am too fond of to expose in a mongers Board. Read on: Mowgli is from a good family and yesterday was Mother's Day and she wanted to celebrate with the family. She had indicated she might come visit me in the afternoon but did not. What she did was join me around midnight after everyone in her household of like 20 relatives was asleep and she sneaked out. We had a nice romantic night together sleeping naked in each others arms but neither of us seemed eager for fuck sex. In the morning I tried to wake her up with a blowjob and was at it for 10 minutes but she was more interested in sleep. I think we are at an awkward lovers-but-non-relationship point whereby we have some feelings for each other but know it will probably not last. I will be in Manila 2 more days and hope to spend another night with Mowgli.

Yes PG. That's G-Point on Padre Faura, Ermita. After the LA Cafe with many dozens of women around the clock, it's the only other bar in Ermita where you can find freelancers every night but nowadays there are never more than a dozen if that, and they are all OLDER. Much OLDER. It is a fun place to hang out with live music, pool and a lot of craft beers you cant find in other bars. For lunch they have a buffet for 299 pesos which is a good deal. Yes this is a TR from a trip I am currently taking. In general, taxi meters have settings that allow changing fares per distance depending on circumstances (like night fares higher than day fares). Sometimes the drivers can reset the meter themselves, sometimes they cant. In your beloved Viet Nam they encase the meters in sealed plexyglass boxes and even so one tried to cheat me. Here in Manila general taxis don't seem to be able to do that (the one scamming me was an official airport taxi) but what is happening more and more with street taxis is that they refuse to take the passenger unless he agrees to pay above meter. That's just the way it is and it's getting worse every trip. There is no Uber or Bolt. There is Grab but their fares can be higher than the metered fares, which is perhaps why the taxi drivers try to charge more. Zeppie thanks for the tips. I planned to reveal the optician name and location but only once I get my new glasses and am satisfied. The deal I am getting almost sounds too good to be true. As to this TR general style, I had planned for it to be a different, more truncated one than I usually write. More like a quick collection of thoughts like I drafted in the OP and have since degenerated into longer spiels. What you and other BMs like is a classic blow-by-blow TR ('a la snoopdawg) which has never been my style... What used to be my style was TRs with pics, lots of pics, and so far I have posted none even though I have them... I am just trying to contribute to the Board's multilogue with some live from the field content. This is the kind of minimalist posting I envisaged the TR to be, and that understandibly raises more questions than it informs BMs: I find myself caught in that grey area when a monger becomes so fond of a sissy that he holds back on pursuing more of them and yet knows he eventually will. Yesterday I blew my first chance to nail the puking GG hottie and instead I took Mowgli on a respectable afternoon date to a theater premiere attended by Manila's cultural elite, one of whom got me front row tickets. Mowgli was in awe sitting next to a well-known (to her!) TV actor. The play was in Makati so afterwards we went to Burgos for an early dinner at the Filling Station which is an American Pop themed restaurant popular with Manila kids. Mowgli is a sweetie and it was her who insisted to come back with me to the room rather than me dropping her off at home where she had to be at 19:00. More kissing and oral sex. Then after she left I was too tired and got an hour sleep and when I woke up it was only like 21:00 but I did not have it in me to go out hunting for other partners. It's not that I am in love with Mowgli to the point of surrendering to monogamy. it's that I am old and with too much shit on my mind. I just stayed in bed alone wondering what the fuck I am doing with my life.

Party ON! and thanks PDoggg. In relative terms to stressful situations I have experienced over the years, I do not consider the above mentioned episode much of "bad partner luck". More like the bread and butter of mongering. She was good while it lasted (4 hours!) and I certainly got my 20 USD worth of a so-so massage, fuck and siesta grabbing her nice tits. She even helped me carry some 7-11 shopping and move hotel rooms. She was a coarse, middle-age woman and when I agreed to LT her I did not expect much GFE or to ever seek her again after the intended overnight. I am just glad I got rid of her without drama. Here are 2 more upbeat developments: So after I get rid of the old bag, I went out to do dinner by myself in one of Ermita's nicer live music, prosti-free clubs where I met 2 hot college young GGs out on the town. I sat on an empty table behind them and after some I am such a cute old guy flirting I joined them at their table and soon we were singing and dancing the 3 of us and I shined like the total daddy stud. I bought them drinks to the point that they had to go in the toilet for the cuter one to throw up. Then we all left. No I did not take both or either of them to my hotel afterwards but I put the moves on the cuter one who agreed to come out with me the day after. She called me back but we did not go out and perhaps we will if I insist but now I have reconnected with a cute trans and it will be hard to find time for the GG without rejecting the trans ... The GG did give me something perhaps more valuable than fucking her: a tip on where to buy cheap progressive prescription glasses. She saved me like 20 000 pesos relative to the other shops I enquired (which charge same-same prices as in Europe). In 7 days I will have a new pair of frames and progressives for only 150 USD that would have cost me like 500 euros back home. More than offsets the 1500 pesos or so I spent on drinks for the GGs. In my previous trip on my last day in Manila I had met online a cute college trans and we immediately jumped to bed and she was wonderful and I departed Manila the next day with a crush on her. While in Europe she was the one PH fuck who more made me want to return and who I thought about in my lonely old man dark moments. She was also the only PH fuck I ever met who I actually offered to WU money to and she refused. I had staged our reunion by meeting her in the live music bar where I had taken her after we first had sex that memorable January afternoon. WOULD YOU BELIEVE MY MANILA EX WAS THERE?? ? !!! The beautiful Phoebe Cates I've mentioned here at LBR in my 3 previous TRs. I had not told Phoebe Cates I'd be coming back to Manila so it was awkward but I went over said Hi and that was it. I sat with Mowgli a few tables away and pointed Phoebe to her and about she being my ex. Mowgli was somewhat taken back by how much more feminine, model tall (and white skinned!) Phoebe Cates is, but those of us into skinny femboys would totally pick Mowgli over Phoebe anytime. Besides, it's not like Mowgli has not butterflied herself after my departure including an elderly yank "from California who also has a condo in Thailand". Probably a BM here or at PY if he likes ladyboys. But what do I care? Mowgli is from a good family and has a 10 PM curfew so we had a little time to come to my hotel where I gave her some gifts and we made passionate love including open mouth kissing like I dont remember doing since my own college days... I was too enthralled to quickiefuck her and just let myself kiss and lick her down and to the crotch and blow her to completion in my mouth something I rarely allow the sissies. Later when she got back home we chatted goodnight online and she asked if it was OK for her to say she loves me...

Thanks PG that was a nice post. When I got to the PH in the 1990s women were plentiful and cheap and the ladyboys were barely tolerated in what was more like an underground scene with many underage ones. But I had already missed on the wild 1980s Manila when a street in Ermita was lined up with bars and go-gos until a new mayor decided to close them. But the women kept coming to Ermita and throwing themselves at foreigners who they would meet at a few venues left or even in the streets. And once they hooked a foreigner they would latch on to him 24/7 for as long as he would stay as back then there were far more women than foreigners and especially no Koreans showering the younger ones with buckets of cash. I am all about bonding for a few days or more, so I liked how it was back then (both in the PH and in TH). Not the case anymore, as evidenced by what I experienced yesterday: It was my first full day and in the morning I took care of logistics and business scheduling. I went for lunch at the G-Point buffet and a few hookers were already there and unexpectedly one offered to come with me until the next morning for 2000 Pesos (that's USD36 for 20 hours company). I believed her and went for it. She was pleasant in her approach and seemed fuckable enough at 43 and offered to massage and siesta with me which I needed more than sex. Once in bed she touched me and I got hard and at my age I feel I better use it or loose it so i fucked her and she started screaming "Fuck You!" (NOT "Fuck ME" like most penetrated partners would) and I did not even bother to pretend to ejaculate and we both fell asleep in each other's arms for 2 or 3 hours. When I woke up I started getting frisky again rubbing against her ass and that's when she came up with a story that she had to send money to her daughter urgently and if I'd pay her the 2000 immediately and she would return after wiring it. I knew to end the LT right there and then but wanted to avoid a scene, so I steered her out by giving her 1000 only and telling I'd meet her later at G-Point and she would come back until morning to earn the other 1,000. I never went by G-Point again and ignored her rude texts demanding more money. Good for me, because last night I met a hottie GG who may or may not be the subject of another one of this trip snapshots...

I have long lost that innocent brotherly joy of a sissy monger's first 2 or 3 TRs when he seeks and basks in the online peer recognition of fellow BM's admiration posts and bitter jealous non-posts. My first TR was 10 years ago at PY and a did a few more there after that and while I was posting them they were always the most viewed threads. But it did not end well for me and my PY TRs were all obliterated. Unique testimonies with 1000s of pics of an era lost for good but with the upside being that I didn't have to feel guilty anymore about the ladyboys I had exposed as prostis and intimately for the sake of more web-"likes". After joining LBR I did a few more TRs, but they never recaptured the enthusiasm and X-ratedness of my earlier ones. In fact the zen master of Enthusiastic-TRing the great Snoopdawg himself told me that in my last TR (from the perspective of my shirt can you believe I did that?) I came across as "desillusioned." I think he had a point and the reason I am still TRing is because I like to write and this Board can use my ramblings since no one else is TRing. So view this TR as my contribution to the Board's post-count since I am not so proficient at the few active topics. But it will not be a blow-by-blow TR like most BMs lik'em. It will be a loose collection of trip moments. Here is an example: I arrived yesterday in Manila at NAIA airport. It's safer to take the yellow metered airport taxis as your name and destination gets on record by the dispatcher who gives you a piece of paper with the taxi ID. Yet they still try to scam you. The one I took yesterday had the meter set like a slot machine. I reminded him the fare goes up by 4 pesos only every 300 meters. Not every 50. It got awkward. He reset the meter. The trip was only 270 pesos not the 700 or 800 it would have cost with the fast metering. In the end I still gave him a 100 peso tip. He had tried to cheat me but gave me the chance to bust him and tell about it here.

Hi PDoggg. way off topic now. As regards Africa, I'd say the closest to Thailand are Kenya and Madagascar that have dedicated cohorts of prostis chasing foreigners night after night. There are no go-go bars vaguely comparable to Thailand (some strippers in Nairobi) but there are clubs (like Thermae) where you are sure to find dozens of them waiting to be picked up/hired ... It's also easy to find such concentrations of girls but in lesser numbers in Ethiopia, Cameroon, Senegal and Gambia. I did OK in Ghana as well and i hear Kinshasa is prostipalooza. I know South Africa and Nigeria also have clubs with many women but I never went because it was too risky due to crime. But the beauty of Africa is that you can approach almost any woman you see and make a pass and they will engage and not take offense at your presumption they might accept to come with you. It may or may not result in sex but the chances that it will are much higher than elsewhere I have been. Even in the Muslim african countries where women wear veils, I had no shortage of women interested in visiting me... students, shopkeepers, office workers ... and money was most often nor even mentioned although I knew not to let them leave empty-handed. I haven't been there since 2018... this is a pic from the mid 2000s with Ethiopians I met on the street and were thrilled when I invited them to take a hot tub bath at my hotel room. Of course we ended up in bed the 3 of us... They stayed the night and after that I never saw them again...

We are getting off topic, but FYI I know and for 3 decades also have played a sex paradise even better than Asia. It's called Africa where I enjoyed the company of beautiful youthful eager women in numbers that exceeded my Asia GG body count. In Africa the distinction between P4P and dating is not so clear like in Thailand and a much higher percentage of non-P4Ps is available for sex with a cleancut foreigner, including high-status women, sometimes married ones. But nowhere else on Earth is the P4P scene like Thailand in sheer numbers and recreation. Nowhere else on Earth exists a place like Pattaya with easily over 1000 bars with multiple women each waiting to be fucked. Plus all the other manly-fun things to do when you are not having sex like sitting in a bar having cheap beer and watching 30 semi-naked women to chose from. There is nothing like that in Africa. You can fuck all the African women. But you have to chase them down 1-by-1. You don't have them lined up in front of you like in Thailand. Plus visiting conditions are much worse and much more expensive than Thailand. And of course there is also the trans women we love, which in Africa are all but inexistent and not feminine. Nowhere else on Earth is there the quantity and quality of beautiful young trans willing to sleep with an old man for pocket change like in Thailand. This is the world we became addicted to, but helas, it's fading before our eyes... But I figure it will still last long enough for the years of sexual drive I may have left...

Hi Cinederose, I am Rom and I am a dinossaur from the glory days of ladyboy mongering and part of that Thai-farang sex ecosystem that is on the way to extinction and that you are so timely and insightfully documenting. I am not sure if that's your intent (to document!) or to be artistic, but you are doing a great job at both. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing here at LBR. R

the 9 Karat condo on Soi Arunothai off Central Road. pic below. ------------------------- I have nothing to opine on these 2 suicides, but would share 2 general thoughts: the more such off-the-balcony suicides take place and ARE REPORTED the more other distraught farangs will follow suit. In the West, not all suicide deaths are explicitly reported as such, especially when they involve jumping off bridges or monuments... I think the Pattaya authorities should do likewise. Perhaps they already do according to a sexpat who told me suicides are more frequent than reported. As many as 1 per week according to him ... There is a " Pattaya suicide season" that starts about now with Songkran and lasts for the next 3 months. Songkran is when Thai people purge and start over. including bargirls who get rid of financially-broke farang partners... R

Thanks PDoggg, let me partially quote you to call attention to an underlying source of biases or outright misinformation in our mongers' online reporting. Let's face it: we are a competitive bunch in that way that males in a herd compete with each other to come across as alfas. In our case, online alfaness can be affirmed by showing off that we had access to more sex, kinkier sex, and at lower prices than the rest of the herd. Hence the tendency to not disclose the prices paid or to report them lower than they actually were. (the exception being The-Sith who proudly reports prices way above market! ) I should know because that's what I have been doing at ladyboy boards when I post pics of of a neverending stream of sissies and pussies, and of the unusual things they let me do with them on and off the sack ... and I avoid reporting the prices not because they were high, but on the contrary because they were so low (or none! sometimes) that no one would believe me. But,... and this is a BIG BUT, I always caveat that I spend a lot of money on them partying and on gifts and taking them on trips, which is just an indirect form of paying that I also document when I post. So in the end I spend way more than asking prices. But at least I never built a house in Issaan in a prosti's name, or paid them for bolt-ons or new motorbikes... All this to say that it's understandable BMs are unwilling to jump in to admit they are paying the newly inflated prices, but perhaps they can just confirm if they are observing them as well... And tips on establishments still offering the 300 barfines and the 60 baht beers would definitely be welcome.

I came across on my FB this succinct compilation of current prices for standard mongering rates in Pattaya, and I must say that, from what I observed last January, I broadly agree. I pretty much paid all the rates quoted (beers, barfines, STs,...) except I managed to get LTs cheaper (1.5K-2K). On the other hand, I spent a bundle on my LTs club-partying with them as part of the LT ... At first I was going to post this update in an ongoing existing thread, but then thought it deserves its own thread here in the Romscars Club so I can come back and provide further updates. There is no point in looking back. The 500 barfines for hot gogo spinners and the 1000 all-inclusive STs (barfine, room, fuck) ain't coming back. I think "lbar" in the compillation below refers to ladyboy bars: 2K STs; 3K LTs. Again, I did them cheaper than that, but they were eager to come with me personally... What do other BMs think ? Namely the Pattaya sexpats? Are you still consistently getting better rates with quality Pattaya prostis ? Sighhh Rom

Who knows what are currently the soi 6 rates for punters who don't pay retail ? I confess that I haven't done a ST there in years but the last times I did, it used to be all under 1,000 (barfine, room + boomboom) which I tipped up to 1,000 at the end. I just saw the below post on my FB by a Pattaya sexpat who notes one can no longer get it all for 1,000 (700 + 300, not sure if 300 is barfine, room or both). He posts "even 1000+400 is difficult" now. I was in Pattaya in January staying around the corner from soi 6 and had passing by ST offers for 1,000, which I thought I could bargain down if I was interested which I wasn't (I brought my own sissy). Anyone got laid there lately? Our AWOL BM duke007 TRed at PY (over Christmas) that he was paying upwards of 1,000 to eat GG pussy on soi 6. Recent prices anyone ?

The American founding fathers were enlightened politicians for their times and advanced elected representation in America at a time when virtually all the world had autocratic kings (kudos to George Washington for declining to become one). But they were far from seeking to "abolish TYRANNY" as slavery persisted for 100 years and women could not vote for 150 and native-americans continued to be slaughtered and driven from their lands even faster than under British rule. It stands to reason these same selectively freedom-granting founding fathers would not want to give everyone the freedom of owning a gun and they made sure to caveat it with "the well regulated militia" stipulation which the proclaimers of the second amendment cynically ignore. As to the machine guns, yeah it's the semiautomatic versions that fire a shot every 2 seconds that are used in the periodic US school killings. Makes a world of difference in terms of safety don't it? As to the American independence war, the American patriot forces were supported by the French and the Spanish in organizing and leading able bodied men into armies. It was not Mel Gibson, nor farmers with guns that drove the British away. As to trans civil rights in America I am all for it, but am against trans women being allowed to compete with genetic women in all sports. It's blatantly unfair as long as males of the human species are genetically coded to be taller and stronger than the females.

I disagree with the above. There is no evidence that having guns in the hands of private citizens is a deterrent against foreign invasion let alone a proven defense. I repeat: NOWHERE or EVER in Human History have private citizens with guns stopped invading armies (examples to the contrary ??? please The-Sith). The US was never invaded because it has the most powerful military on earth since the 19th century and is separated by 2 seas from other military powers. Its land neighbors Mexico and Canada are no match for the US if they tried to invade. If u want a country with sensible gun restrictions that does not get invaded take Britain which has not been invaded since Viking times. It was not citizens with guns that stopped Hitler. It was the RAF and the Royal Navy. As to the Second Amendment, it is a perversion of reason and its invocation to own guns underscores how evil Americans can be, including their constitutionalist judges. It explicitly says: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Anyone who can read English has to infer that "the right of the people to bear arms" was originally framed in the context of "a well regulatedt militia." It's a case of anachronic drafting (too erudite!) by whoever originally wrote it and should have written instead: The right of the people to keep and bear Arms under a well regulated Militia, which is necessary to the security of a free State, shall not be infringed. Not to mention that "the arms" the founding fathers had in mind were flintlock one-shot rifles... Not machine guns. If so, American citizens might as well have the right to privately own howitzers, attack helicopters and nuclear submarines. It's all sickening.
