Oh dear...and here I was planning on wearing just those when I finally went on holiday at the beach! Oh but wait...I'm Malaysian and a beach bum, so I guess I don't really count, right?

C'mon guys...since when did we become fashion police for other gay men? I always thought the only people who subscribed to the fashion police mentality were queens and ladies with too much time and money and too little brains.

Here's a late Xmas gift for Taoboxer and James, since they appear to think it is appropriate beach apparel for men of this age.

So Icon513, you do wear thongs at home....thanks for the pic

I don't own a thong and never will.

I have some self-respect and self-awareness.

There's a guy who spends time at Dongtan beach around this time each year...although I haven't seen him this year. He wears some of the most outrageous thongs on a very sad frame. Whilst he's not a pretty sight, the New Years regulars at Dongtan have missed him this year....particularly when he wears his outrageous thong emblazoned with "pussy pussy". He has a very seductive saunter which he's probably practiced for years....with a lot of polishing still required! He is the unpaid entertainment of Dongtan. So Icon if it's you...please play the game and get yourself along to Dongtan....along with your fine collection of thongs. Lol

Sounds like he's making a joke out of himself.

Like I said, I have more self-respect than that.

Part of being older is, hopefully, having a bit better judgment.

Quote |

Self-awareness? But not aware enough to know when he is being ageist and plain rude!

I personally don't like thongs either but I don't think I have the right to make fun of people who do.

Sadly one of the prerequisites of being a moderator is not good manners!

The guy in the pic doesn't look 60-to-70 to me. Maybe it's a matter of pounds, not age.

In any case, as long as I don't malign gym queens (I probably never would, in fact), I don't see any cause to insult the less-fit, the overage, or both.

Is this one more appealing, maybe?

The guy sitting down looks really nauseous or embarrassed. Actually, probably both.

The Thai guy seated is in fact one of the hotest / cutest guys on the beach. He works at the "yellow " chair concession and has a hot muscular body and cute face. He flirts a lot with all the farang - particularly the one's with big bellies ! I'm not sure however if he's gay - I suppose I should ask - but I'm really too shy

Ha Ha ha. Sorry I didn't see your replies earlier, guys. Thanks for the naughty picture, Icon. I don't have a problem with it, really. Obviously he thinks he's sexy and if he's got the confidence to wear a thong like that, then he might just be interesting enough for me to do him if we met. I have always had catholic tastes, I confess.

And guys, I don't have a problem with guys who don't like thongs on men of maturer years, either. I don't object to people saying what they think as long as they don't expect me to think the same way.

As for wearing thongs myself, I am just vain enough not to wear them until I have enough meat on my buns and sufficient muscle over the rest of my body to look better than a beached whale when I strut my stuff in my favourite pair.

And I really and truly don't have a problem with men who think surfer pants are going to hide their bellies (or any other full figure malfunctions). They have every right to look like one of Snow White's Seven Dwarves if they want to!

To return to cruising for sex, is the sexy seated guy in the picture really Thai? He looks more Caucasian to me. Him, I'd do in a minute.

What's the going rate for long time in Pattaya anyway? I understand it's quite high in BKK nowadays...should I try to hookup with some older guys before I come? At least the sex would be free

I say good on him. People who have the confidence to be what they want to be whether fat, skinny or whatever should be welcome on Dongtan beach. I;ve spent many happy hours there marvelling at the whales in thongs and jandals (Ha!) dragging their big butts/bellies to the water and deckchair. I don't let it detract from my enjoyment. Good on them for gettin' on with what they enjoy.

I remember a guy who came daily for a massage a few years back, very bloated and obviously quite ill. Not a pretty sight but good on him too for getting what he needed. I thought thats what I'll do should I be struck.

Certainly don't want the fat, beauty, agist or whatever police interfering in what I do.

Now anybody want to talk about CRUISING FOR SEX
