In Thailand the format of both gay and straight establishments has barely changed in living memory, and the broad concepts may well have originated in the PI and got copied in the LoS

- So you go to a bar, which may or may not have a stage act, you pay inflated prices for drinks if you want staff to sit with you, pay a 'barfine' if you want to have sex with someone, and give them a 'tip' for their services which may be for either long time or short time.

- Or you go to a massage shop, which might or might not be a 'soapy' and indulge a 'happy ending' if you like the person giving the massage.

And that's about it. However, in the UK, from time to time, I'll visit a sauna/bath house and on a good day, by the time I leave, I'll have sucked the dicks of half a dozen guys; often without speaking a word to any of them and rarely making eye contact. Moreover, most of the guys who go to those places have much the same idea - spontaneous and anonymous gay blow jobs have quite a following.

But could that be commercialised in the LoS? Could 'glory hole' booths work? There are some obvious attractions - if the guy getting his dick blown can't see the guy who's sucking him, he can imagine it's the sexiest person he can think of - and not some balding old slob.. - and have no problem rising to the occasion . Similarly, a slim Asian guy's lunchbox can still look fit, long after his face has lost its freshness.

In theory at least, it could be a win-win.

In Spain once, I visited a gay club where there was a wooden panel with holes cut out - at various heights and diameters - some guys would stand behind and present their tackle at a hole while others would suck them from the other side.

Could something like that work..? I wonder..
