A straight Thai boy playing Ganymede to my Zeus. That could be a fantastic role play off. Oh hang on....most of my offs are like that.

exactly, why else do I travel?
I assume it’s the same reason as most members - as a citizen of the First World you believe it your right to travel to Third World countries thousands of kilometres away to pay for sex with people at least young enough to be your son if not grandson. No?
No. Aresenal has it righ,t it is a priviledge. Also, a product of circumstances, in the days when there were hustler bars in NYC I traveled less. During my work years there was a very active "stroll" of hustlers in Toronto - a great joy and, odd thing Frequent, they were as white and first world as I am. I , also, fondly remember two English brothers who I first met in Amsterdam and then they, to my great joy, turned up in Earl's when I was working a project in London. You did notice that they are English? Right?

Yes, though not a right. A privilege.
I am a sensitive soul, taking offence at cheap and vulgar attacks on me personally and on my chosen life-style. The truth about my "privilege" as Arsenal eloquently and succinctly describes it, is that it has been used to support (in more ways than I'm prepared to divulge) a very decent human being who otherwise would not be with us today. Of course, there are many who prefer to keep clear of LTRs- indeed I did until I met P- but who nevertheless treat their friends with kindness and respect and help them survive. And that frequently this support continues long after the sexual aspect has ended.

So right. But, let us not forget that many of the working guys have a choice as well. People turn to sex work for many reasons. I recall a discussion with a wonderful young man from Toy Boys in Pattaya who was thinking of going back to Chiang Rai and work, again, in a 7 Eleven. I asked if he could live on that salary and he said "yes" but the hours would be much longer and he would earn far less than he was making with his "customers" in Pattaya.
In our "first" world it is sad that many turn to sex work because they have come out as gay and are thrown out of their homes. That is slowly changing but the relationships forged between an older man and a younger man in need is not, necessarily, as one sided as Frequent supposes.
Now, Frequent, I hasten to add that you often display a fine education, you appear well read and well traveled but your moralizations on this topic can be quite tiresome. Travel, enjoy what you deserve based on earnings worked for and stop wrenching your own soul over this.
If you quote the "white man's burden" you are agruing the mirror image of your usual moral stance. Are you, perhaps, being ironic?
