Posted It's A Gay World

The good news is that summer is in full swing; the weather has warmed up, holiday time is here, and hotties of every race and age are flocking to the beaches of the world. The bad news is that a majority of those flocking to the beaches of the world insist on showing off flesh that was never intended for public consumption. Sure you can sit at home and be subjected to selfies of Geraldo Rivera naked 70-year-old body on the computer, but that’s what you get for indiscriminate internet surfing. But in real life, you should have the right to enjoy a day at the beach without witnessing disgusting displays of inhumanity that make you want to puke in the sand. Unfortunately, according to this year’s beachgoers’ survey, it looks like your #1 must-have for a day at the beach is a barf bag.
When I read about Expedia’s 2013 Flip Flop Report I assumed the world’s largest vacationing by computer algorithm company had finally given up the ghost and figured out the real money was in hooking up versatile gay guys with each other. No such luck. Instead they managed to get 8,606 clueless vacationers from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia to provide data on their beach-going preferences so the company could market packaged beachside holidays to the masses. The company’s annual Harris Interactive study of beach habits examined global opinions about sharks, bikini briefs, nudity, theft, sunscreen, attire, and much more. Not surprisingly, among the survey results, the study found that more than half of beachgoers worldwide consider easy access to alcohol “at least somewhat” important when considering where to take a beach vacation. That’s because overall, 65% of beachgoers worldwide reported finding skimpy bathing suits like the Speedo to be “acceptable.” Perhaps Harris Interactive would do better next year if instead of just asking their questions they provided photographic evidence of what they were asking about.
Ditto for the survey questions addressing topless sunbathing. Almost a quarter of respondents said they were comfortable with people going topless on beaches But ten minutes spent on Jomtien would change those result drastically once people renumbered that what is good for the goose is good for the gander and when it comes to manneries, topless sunbathing is never a pretty site. But then since Thailand was not one of the 21 counties that survey participants came from, the results are, though faulty, more understandable. It is interesting to note, however, that the countries with the highest percentage of beachgoers least comfortable with toplessness at the beach were: India (41%), South Korea (40%), Malaysia (39%), Singapore (39%) and Japan (36%). Sounds like visitors from western countries have left their mark on the consciousness of the people of Asia.
The good news for Pattaya is that 73% of those taking the survey said they would not change their travel plans because of a dirty/polluted beach. Not quite as good news is that while 50% reported in prep for a beach vacation they bought an new swimsuit, only 33% said they spent extra time at the gym getting in shape and only 24% reported going on a pre-trip diet. So don’t expect the views to change much. And the sexpat population might not be keen to know that only 12% of respondents reported hooking up with a stranger for sex. Even though 31% said they drank far more than normal. Which means even if you do get that hottie smashed, there’s still only a 1 in 3 chance you’ll land him in bed.
Not that sex on the beach was part of the survey. Nor, since Pattaya was left out of the survey, was purchasing sex on the beach. So it is not surprising that American beachgoers instead rated walking on the beach as their favorite seaside activity (78% participate). Indians are a bit more productive and ratted building sand castles as their favorite thing to do (52%). They also were big on jet ski rentals and getting massages. Which sounds like Pattaya really needs to redirect its marketing efforts to the Indian subcontinent.
70% of beach goers world-wide enjoy sunbathing, but only 23% of Malaysians and 32% of Singaporeans do – like Thais they are big on looking as white as possible. Meanwhile the Irish and those from the UK top the charts in attempting to get a tan, which explains all that red skin you see at night on Walking Street. 90% of Germans, however, go to the beach to swim. You gotta love that German linear mindset.
Of course what you do and what you think of beach-going depends largely on where that beach is. Expedia’s fans preferred beaches in Mexico, with 46% of respondents vacationing south of the border. Which may explain why 54% of American beachgoers cited “having wallet/possessions stolen” as their chief beach fear with only 16% reported worrying most about drowning/rip currents. Which makes sense. Today when taking a beach vacation in Mexico you are more likely to die by getting shot during a dispute between rival drug gangs than you are from drowning. Unless you are Malaysian, evidently: 42% listed drowning as their #1 beach-going fear. And while the survey didn’t report where it is that Singaporeans vacation, it would be good to know since 80% reported their biggest fear was sharks, with 41% refusing to swim as a result.
Instead, vacationers from Singapore like to spend their beach-time shopping (78%), with Malaysia just sneaking in behind them at 73%. Canadians, to whom a beach is a foreign concept, reported their favorite beach-time activity was golf.

Thanks for clicking in to my blog today, ‘cuz I know that you, like me, are probably anxiously waiting in front of your television for the news that the future crown of England has finally crowned. And even those of you not interested in the royal dropping, if you’re in Thailand, are face with another of those pesky Buddhist holidays when you can only get drunk if you can find a bar that will sneak a few shots into your cup of joe.
If I was a better person, I’d have a full post for you today to take your mind away from both, or either of those troubles. No such luck. But on the plus side, if I was a lower form of life, I’d be posting private financial information of a current or former message board owner for your enjoyment today. But since I’m not, I won’t. And will leave that to those intent on ruining their own reputation while attempting to ruin the rep of someone else. I’d say it was just a case of two guys who’ve lost touch with reality fighting to see who has the bigger dick, but the royal newborn will undoubtedly have them both beat anyway. Even if it too is a queen.
So instead of joining the lunatic derby, I’ll take the easy way out and post my fourth series of pix of Thailand’s leading hunk of gorgeousness, Chaiwat ‘Tob’ Thongsaeng. Because there can never be enough Tob in the world. Since appearing in all of his adorable cuteness in Bangkok Love Story, Tob has matured into a true hunk of manhood. As cute as he was as a young ‘un, personally I think he has grown to be even more attractive as each year passes. Ignoring the royal birthing, dry religious holiday, and lunatic message board owners thingys, it was the top photo that caught my attention and provided the muse for today’s post. In fact, you can consider the additional shots as a bonus. ‘Cuz that first one is enough to perv over for the entire day. Those are some massive headlights. Just in case your thoughts are turning to suckling these days.

Years ago I read about a tattoo artist in Chicago who got busted for tattooing Asian phrases on customers that didn’t really mean what they thought they did. And thought he shoulda been given an award instead of a fine. I guess picking out a guy to ink your body who is not a smart ass is almost as important as choosing one who is not dyslexic or who dropped out of school in the third grade: The 10 Greatest Misspelled Tattoos.
Stickman’s column this week was a photo essay of Patpong’s night market getting ready for the evening’s business. With all the shirtless guys and their bulging muscles involved in the set-up, it is one of the best times of the day to enjoy the market.
Thailand has finally figured out what to do about all the scams and rip-offs tourists face when on holiday. They plan on opening a night court, just for tourists. Now why do I think that has more to do with the financial way justice works in Thailand than it does with putting a halt to the scams?
Rub nong just sounds so much better than hazing.
With the advertising advice that “whitening your penis not only makes you look good in bed but it also increases your self-esteem,” how could you not?
New research says homophobia is caused by the fear of unwanted sexual advances. Which, if true, conversely would mean all women are lesbians. More importantly, does this mean hotties who are not homophobic want to be hit on?
And you thought Sharknado was horrifying:
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to making water . . .
And you thought Sharknado was horrifying Part II:
With a 51-year-old Asian it goes without saying that ““When he looked down, he saw the big snake,” means it wasn’t his.
The First Love is a just over 15 minute short film from Thailand that explores two young men’s first brush with being attracted to someone of the same sex.
