Since then if I go to the bars at all, it's as near to opening as possible, only to find someone to off and then leave quickly.
I still find the boys in the bars to be as enjoyable as ever when taken off, especially when you off the same guy repeatedly and he comes out of his shell, but the whole gogo bar experience really has to be no more than a means to an end , rather than something that can be enjoyed in its own right, for someone who's been around for awhile. And for the boys who are there night after night, it must be terrifically mind-numbing.

I would agree with almost all of those statements. I too go early to avoid any of the dreadful shows. After 16 years of Thai gay go-go bar hopping, I suppose I'm a bit jaded. The only point I would disagree with, or rather something that I find is not the case as far as I'm concerned, is finding an enjoyable boy to go home with. I just don't find as many good ones as I used to find. I'm both a butterfly (trying to sample as many sweet things as my appetite allows), and one who likes to keep regulars for several years at a time. Have one guy coming over tomorrow (I live in Bangkok) who I've known for 7 years. Another 4-year regular returns from Khorat next week. But I find it much more difficult these days to find talented (versatile and good in bed) and personable (someone you can take out to a restaurant and have something close to a conversation with) young men in the Bangkok bars. On the rare occassion I find someone attractive, they invariably turn out to be a dud or one-dimensional in bed. Is it just me and my finicky tastes, or are the pickings truly slim these days?
