No Latin, I haven't "mellowed" at all.
As I said, the sex is very important. We still have sex twice a day but it's now just a part of what we do.
Isn't that the same with you and your long-term partner? I'm sure you don't spend the whole time together just having sex.
My reputation precedes me, but if you read any of my trip reports over all these years, you'll notice that I only ever have sex twice a day, no more. For me, that's enough. So I have to find other things to do. And more importantly, I need a guy with whom I want to do these things. It's easy to find guys for sex but very difficult to find someone you want to spend the whole day with during a holiday.
I've been lucky enough to find someone, that's all.
In the early days of visiting Thailand I was top only. But I am only interested in masculine guys in their mid -twenties or older and finding a straight guy willing to bottom was difficult. The guys I topped back then were not really my type - they were often a little too "gay" for my tastes. Every now and then I'd meet a bit masculine guy who was willing to bottom but they weren't the type I wanted to spend my holiday with and so never became regulars.
Becoming a bottom was not an easy decision but I eventually took the plunge so that others could. And sex-wise it's been the best decision I think I've ever made.
I'm certainly not suggesting that everyone goes out and learns how to put their ankles behind their ears; all I know it's that it has worked for me. To be honest, at first there was a certain stigma attached to bottoming, but that has now completely disappeared.
Last holiday Nom was still working in a bar in Jomtien Complex with his brother, but he told me he was trying out a job at a resort hotel. If things worked out, he would leave the scene in Pattaya and take the job on full-time. And that's what he has done.
When I'm back home we still communicate using Line. When he was still working here he'd tell me about the farang he'd met and how many offs he'd managed to score during the week. But customers were few and far between and he was struggling. My suggestion that he go back to Eros or Nice Boys was rejected outright.
He is obviously still a money boy, albeit now part-time - the fact that he comes to Pattaya to meet me proves that. But when he's with me he is not being paid his hotel wage. If you subtract that from the tips he gets from me each day, he is still ahead but not by as much as you'd think. That's one of the reasons I offer to buy him things.
