Some people wear both their pyjama AND undies to bed. How bout u?

Updated 29 Jan 2023 As the previous topic "Hot Guy Who Caught My Attention/IG Cuties" has been deleted today, this thread serves as a 'reincarnation' of the old thread with stricter rules for posting: 1) TikTok and Twitter images/links are NOT allowed! (if you don't like it, please leave immediately, thank you) 2) strictly only images/pictures allowed, with the link/source (such as IG link, but not private IGs) - for PDPA protection act purpose. 3) NO stolen images/pictures, i.e. those posted without any source (where they came from). If members are not able to follow the rules mentioned above, kindly avoid posting. Thank you! Since Straits Times had ceased its weekly Hot Bods; 8Days had gone digital without anymore shirtless guys pictures; "Attitude" Thai magazine had stopped publication, it is also a good time to 'revamp' this thread. Latest update 17 Mar 2023 Inclusion of Yahoo's #Fitspo of the Week series - chanced upon this site, which is some what similar to previous Straits Times' weekly Hot Bods, just not sure how frequent they published them. Author/Contributor is Cheryl Tay, where she mentioned in her article that "Life goes beyond the digits on the scale and your body is capable of so much more! Yahoo's #Fitspo of the Week series is dedicated to inspirational men and women in Singapore leading healthy and active lifestyles. Have someone to recommend? Hit Cheryl up on Instagram or Facebook!" Will post them in reverse chronological order. The title itself will hyperlink to its source. ========================================================================= Previous topic title: ST / Magazines Hot Bods Dated 30 July 2014 The new ST 100 Hot Bods e-book actually only contains 50 past male hot bods, while the first 50 would be female of course. Not sure if it is possible to post all 50, but maybe post some as suggested by moderator. The first one is not the best but the only one with the "then" and "now" update. Here goes: My personal favourite (77): My next favourite (96):

Was with a few old friends and was chatting about places we've been and missed. A few names which pops up and some at the tip of my tongue but failed to recall. LGBT Bars Pebble Bar at former Forum. very rowdy crowds. not much impression. Inner Circle at Tg Pagar. A place where I ventured alone and later found that it was a place I belong. Had many great and happy times. Always remember the New Year Eve celebrations. Lots of fond memories and met many friends there. Vincent's Lounge, Far East Plaza. Hardy been there but it's a place where the Ang Mo and the MB hangs out. Xpose - South Bridge Road - Remembered that there were many singing competitions held there and the owner Alan. MOX bar - Tg Pagar Rd - remembered this place as it's mostly white. don't hang out there much. DYMK - Neil Road, been there a few times for gathering or someone's birthday Locker Room - Neil Road. been there only a few times Disco / Clubs The Hangar - Opposite Bayshore park but the colonial building demolished to make way for condos. Remember it as a a building up a slope. Sunday is where there will be drag queen shows. Rather happening but due to the location. don't go there much. Marmota / Shadows. Kallang Leisure Mall. Disco dancing only on Sunday Niche. Far East Plaza level 5. First official gay disco club in Sg. Owner Bernard who later close Niche and open Inner Circle Karaoke. was one of the most happening gay disco bar of it's time. Rascal - Disco at (can't remember the hotel). Only on Sunday Studebaker / Venom at Orchard Pacific Plaza (building next to Holiday Inn) Why Not? Tras Street The famous twins who owns the dance club and the Babylon KTV Taboo at Neil Road which recently closed. ...and the rest and in between all forgotten.

Arrested exec shared drugs in F&P flat 18 June 2006 By ADAM DUDDING Graham Ball, the former Fisher and Paykel executive arrested in a Singapore drugs bust, was sharing drugs at a flat paid for by F&P when police swooped, say charge sheets released to the Sunday Star-Times by the Singapore courts. Ball, 45, and local man Lim Kim Hui, who is in his late 20s, were charged with trafficking, consumption and other drug charges after police found 2.25g of methamphetamine and 1.19g of ketamine in Ball's company flat. Urine samples from the men tested positive for drugs. Ball has continued to live at the flat since he was released on bail a week after his March 31 arrest, but a Fisher and Paykel spokesman in New Zealand said he would leave the flat when its lease expired in a few days. Ball's lawyer, Harbajan Singh, said the company fired Ball from his post as Singapore general manager soon after his arrest. He said Ball had "lost everything". "He was earning good money, he was number one running operations here. It's hit him very bad." Ball's $S100,000 ($102,000) bail was paid by his brother, who flew to Singapore after being told of the arrest by the New Zealand government. The two trafficking charges against Ball, each carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and 15 strokes of the cane, have since been replaced with possession charges in a plea bargain arranged by Singh. Singh said Ball, who is originally from Te Puke, in the Bay of Plenty, was likely to face a sentence of about nine months in prison plus fines. He will next appear in court on June 29. News of the arrest came as Singapore's prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong, arrived in New Zealand for an official five-day visit. Prime Minister Helen Clark yesterday refused to comment on Ball because his case is before the courts. She would not say if she would raise the matter with her Singaporean counterpart during his visit. A Fisher and Paykel spokesman in New Zealand said the company was "shocked" when Ball was charged, but he declined to comment on whether its reputation in Singapore had suffered as a result

The Straight Men Who Have Sex with Trans Women By Diana Tourjée Sep 18 2015, 12:15am Wanting to have sex with trans women is not synonymous with undoing the stigma against loving them. Matt didn't know it was possible for a girl to have a dick before the model pictured in his Hustler-esque mag drew seven inches. She had slipped in unannounced between the magazine's other, more typical spreads. His stroke quickened, sticking with sweat in his Brooklyn bedroom while a worrying thought knocked in his skull: Did it mean he was gay? I met Matt in his home, thirty years after that fateful day in his teenage bedroom. (His name has been changed to maintain anonymity.) We sat on opposite ends of an ultra suede sofa, he in a pair of basketball shorts and a white t-shirt. Now in his late forties, Matt is a solid man, limbs thick from decades of manual labor. He's safe now, free after years spent in anguish. "It made me mentally ill," Matt said, his rough mouth blackened by 5 o'clock shadow. In the 1980s, it was particularly daunting for a trans amorous man to confront his sexual identity. "The stigma that went along with being gay at that time in my youth was horrible," Matt said. "There was nowhere to go, no LGBT Center. Most people when I grew up didn't even have cable." He felt he had a lot to lose—not the least of which was an attachment to his identity as a heterosexual man. In a different society, I don't think it would be an issue with me at all to be with a trans woman. There are many men who share his fear. On Reddit, arguably the most revealing cultural sampler of our times, one trans amorous man recently aired his turmoil. He wrote about his relationship with a trans girl and his family and friends' rejection of her. According to him, his loved ones mock him, ask if she's got a dick, call him gay. "She is pre-op but I still only see her as a girl," he wrote. On other boards, users ask straight men if they'd consider dating a trans woman. Some guys give a flat out no; others appear unburdened by social stigma, down for it so long as she passes well and is hot. But there's another prevalent response, one that lands nearer to the heart of this issue. User kelevra206 wrote, "In a different society, I don't think it would be an issue with me at all to be with a trans woman, but... with the way things are, I just couldn't do it." Matt's first sexual experience with a trans woman was in 1987, with a girl he picked up on the West Side Highway. This stretch of New York road runs parallel to the Hudson River, from the southern harbors of Manhattan to the Upper West Side. It used to be an infamous pickup spot for trans sex workers. Though Matt loved the sex itself, it wasn't long after orgasm that he felt a throat-clenching sense of anxiety. "I was driving her back and I was so nervous, 'Is someone going to see me?' Absolute fear—HIV, Did I give myself HIV? I was so afraid [thinking of] how I'd tell anybody." It was the height of the AIDS epidemic. A disease that anybody could acquire had become a profound symbol of the cultural stigma against queer sexuality and sex. "There was no cure," Matt said, shaking his head. "Instant death, you're gone. We used condoms but I was more afraid of that conflict." The internal conflict Matt felt between his identity as a straight man was even more frightening to him than the threat of acquiring HIV: The illness might have meant a tragic, untimely end to his life, but it also would have branded him a fag. Matt said that he's seen countless trans sex workers throughout his life. He was a John—or generic male client—for thirty years. Despite his insecurities, though, he always wanted more from those relationships. He tried to romance girls, but he was continually rejected. [Having sex with trans women] has had no bearing on my identity as a straight male. "The women that work in the sex trade have a wall," he explained. "I guess it's because of men. I don't know if it's all of them, but the ones that use the girls. Most men aren't willing to give the same that they give to a cisgender woman." Even guys who aren't hung up on their sexuality seem hesitant to take trans women seriously. While researching this story, I trolled Craigslist for other trans amorous men. Only one man, Alex, answered my request for an interview. He was very clear: "I was not worried it made me gay at all," he wrote. "[Having sex with trans women] has had no bearing on my identity as a straight male." Like Matt, Alex also discovered his attraction to trans women through pornography. He was 22 at the time, and he's now in his late thirties. While he claims never to have grappled with shame, he did affirm the taboo of his attraction. "I certainly wouldn't have told my friends," he said. When I asked Alex how important it is that a girl is able to pass well, he responded, "I'm attracted to femininity, not masculinity. It's that simple." People are entitled to their own tastes, but one wonders to what degree this extreme devotion to masculine or feminine ideals is a result of being inundated with hyper-gendered imagery in pop culture. Not to mention that holding trans women to a cisgender standard is unrealistic: The majority of trans girls will probably never pass perfectly. Clearly, having a boner for hot girls with dicks is far from synonymous with undoing the stigma against loving transgender women. Later in his life, Matt has tried to give transgender women more—he's tried to surpass the stigma surrounding his sexuality by being available emotionally and forging real relationships with trans women. About ten years ago, in his late thirties, he met a girl in the sex trade named Alicia. She'd come to New York from Brazil in the 80s—around the same time he'd been cruising the west side highway. "She's the first trans woman I ever kissed in public," Matt said. "We were walking down her block, and I was nervous: Is someone going to see me? I remember her saying to me, 'I'm walking down the street with you, but if you're going to be embarrassed by me, I'm going to be embarrassed by you.'" Then he kissed her. Matt smiled, gently shaking his head at the insecure man he'd once been. Cristina Herrera heads the Gender Identity Project (GIP) at New York City's LGBT Community Center. The GIP runs a variety of programs for the trans community; among other services, Herrera provides support groups. One group caters to partners of transgender individuals. It's a place for anyone trans amorous to go and talk with other trans amorous men or women. "There is very little support for individuals who are partnering with trans people," Herrera told me. "Society is harder on the men who date transgender individuals. There is a lot of stigma attached to it: Their sexuality is called into question." Society is hard on the men who date transgender individuals. There is a lot of stigma attached to it. "I knew a trans girl who told me that, with all the men she's slept with, all the guys who have come through her doors, there's no such thing as straight men," Matt said. "I wonder sometimes, when I hear people spew hatred, how many of them have actually been with trans women before." Nearly all the men I've dated have identified as heterosexual. A handful have been bi, but none gay. Early on in my transition I frequently posted personal ads. There was a man who used to email me a couple times a week. He was a typical Williamsburg ruffian—tall, tattooed, with an undercut. He was a handsome guy, but I never met him because all he wanted was sex. I started seeing him around my neighborhood. He was always with his girlfriend. There they'd be slurping a Thai noodle lunch special, stocking a grocery cart with kombucha, or clouding their coffee with cream in our shared cafe. They held hands at their table. His cock-hungry messages lay close, stored in my phone at the bottom of my purse. I wondered if she knew he was cruising for sex with other people. Did she know he's into trans women? When she finds out, will she ask him if he's gay? I wonder sometimes, when I hear people spew hatred, how many of them have actually been with trans women before. In his mid-thirties, Matt grew tired of denying himself the kind of life he's always wanted. "I started seeing girls more often and just enjoying it, letting all the shame and guilt go and saying, 'You know what? I have been doing this for so long anyway. This is something I'm gonna do for me.'" He wanted Alicia to be more than someone he paid for sex, but there were multiple factors working against them both. Like many impoverished trans women, Alicia was addicted to drugs. She called Matt a few times desperate for cash. "I brought her a hundred dollars, and it wasn't for sex. She looked horrible; she was thirty, forty, pounds lighter than she was when I'd first met her. It broke my heart." He wanted to help, but couldn't. It was too painful to watch Alicia's descent into addiction, so Matt stopped seeing her and resumed living in secrecy. Six or seven years after he last saw Alicia, he attempted to find her again to no avail. She was gone, her online ads deleted. Last year, after decades of living a double life, Matt was finally ready for a partner. He became serious about finding the right trans woman to spend his life with. But where to look? There's been an active market for trans personal ads on Craigslist for years. Clicking into the m4t category of Misc. Romance, you'll find reams of posts by trans amorous men. There is a weighty symbolism to Craigslist's subcategories: Casual Encounters is, as one would expect, the most popular. If you're cruising there, all bets are off. As the guys see it, social graces are checked at the door. Then, over in Misc. Romance, again and again, you'll find posts by guys professing their exhaustion with Casual Encounters. They've had enough; they want more. There is a tenderness to the forum—the same users post diligently week after week in pursuit of their transgender soul mate, and stock photos of roses often accompany their ads. With the rise of services like OkCupid, Craigslist and other trans community backchannels are becoming less necessary than they once were. In recent years OkCupid has integrated categories for transgender people. Matt made a throwaway profile on OkCupid just to see who was out there. "I checked the box for trans and the very first woman that came up was [Alicia]," he said. "I thought she had died. She even told me she wasn't gonna live more than ten years." Alicia looked healthy. According to her profile, she had a job and was looking for a relationship. Judging by the smile in her photos, she was happy. In the years since they'd separated, she quit drugs and began working in advocacy for the transgender community. She remembered him and agreed to meet, but the wall she'd built remained intact. "I was still just a John to her, that's all," Matt said, disappointed. "I knew I was more than that. I want more and I can give more." I held her hand and walked down the street. That was my first time not being afraid. It was hard to convince Alicia to let down her wall, but Matt understood why. "People can be assholes to trans women. It happens all the time. The looks, the stares, sometimes they say things. I remember our first date where we were together and it wasn't for money and sex. It was a date. We were walking to downtown Brooklyn, to sit on the rocks under the Brooklyn Bridge." She gave him the same speech she'd given ten years prior, before their first kiss. "She said, 'If you're going to be embarrassed by me, we can just go back to my apartment and you can pay me.' I was so proud of myself. I held her hand, and walked down the street and we sat on the rocks and had a really romantic night. That was my first time not being afraid." A door across the room from us suddenly opened. Alicia passed through it, coming from the kitchen with a fresh plateful of empanadas. Matt grinned like a little kid. He tried to pull her onto the sofa but she refused, saying, "You two talk!" She laughed, swatting him away as she put her long hair in a clip. She was barefoot in a floor length, striped jersey summer dress. Eventually she gave in, and took a seat beside him. Matt and Alicia share a "normal" life together. They're both in their forties, they both work full time, and they both take care of their bodies. He loves her ambitious personality and sense of humor. Alicia told me it goes both ways. "I think every trans partner is as special as the trans woman they're with," she said. "It doesn't seem like there's a lot of guys out here that do this," Matt said. "We went to a bar; it was a trans event. One of Alicia's friends told me, 'You're the only one. The only guy here.' It's rare, there are very few of us. I'd like to see more." Matt briefly knew a guy who was dating a friend of Alicia's. "He was younger than me and he was seeing this girl. She was mostly a bottom. But then I guess she topped him one time, which is a stigma in and of itself. He said to me, 'Does that make me gay?' and I said, 'You know what? If it felt good and you're making your partner happy, go for it. What the hell. Have fun, let it go.' I think hearing that from me made a difference in his life." Alicia shook her head, laughing. "Does this make me gay?" She was asked that question countless times by men throughout her years in the sex trade. "If they were good, I'd tell them no, of course not. If they were bad I'd say, pretty much!" I think every trans partner is as special as the trans woman they're with. Matt has progressively gained Alicia's trust. "Getting our own place together was really important," he said, encircling her in his arms. Sharing their home was a big step for both of them, and Matt saw it as crucial to showing his sincerity. "To tell you the truth, sitting here talking to you about, I'm kind of embarrassed. I should be proudly sharing her in every part of my life," he said, referring to his colleagues and family, two groups with which he's yet to break that seal of secrecy. It may not be safe to—Matt's colleagues say hateful things about trans women. "'Not human.' 'Should be executed.' Nasty stuff. Alicia's told me not to stick my neck out at work, but a couple of times I said, 'You know what, I bet that person who has been conflicted their whole lives, and has probably suffered their whole life, is finally free." Matt thinks that if they ever found out, the consequences could be tragic. "You'd read about me in the paper, unfortunately." As Cristina Herrera sees it, guys like Matt have the cards stacked against them. The cultural stigma against loving trans women is deeply ingrained into our society to the point of ubiquity. "There is a lot of bullying going on," Herrera said. "Public figures that have been discovered having sexual relations with trans women have paid a heavy price." Herrera said these public shamings "hurt the whole process. It makes other men much more nervous. They know it could happen to them, that their friends or colleagues might treat them the same way if they knew." We try awfully hard to bend ourselves around language, but even the people who feel best represented with words like "straight" don't fit all the criteria. One of the central issues to identity politics, and the LGBT string of labels, is the idea that people whose sexuality or gender differ from a heteronormative standard are inherently different, where those whose gender or sexuality conform to it are not. Rather than trying to normalize queer people, we could recognize that no one is normal. Straight, cisgender people are different too. Alicia alluded to it when she said that every trans partner is as special as the trans person they're with. I asked Matt what he thought it would take to change society, to bring his trans amorous brethren out from the shadows. "The more of us that are out there," he said. "The more men who walk down the street holding a trans woman's hand. It'll show other men, give them their courage to say, 'I like that too, and I'm not afraid.'"

If he lets you buy his underpants, you're "The One" Nov 10, 2009 http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSTRE5A926120091110 LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Men only buy their own underpants when they are hoping to entice a potential partner into a relationship, according to a new survey. The poll by British retailer Debenhams showed that men normally leave the purchasing of their underwear to their mothers until about the age of 19, relatively late when compared to women, who start buying their own knickers around 13. Between the ages of 19 and 23, men tend to buy their own underwear, up to 31 pairs a year in the belief that wearing new underpants is an essential prerequisite to a relationship. Buying declines gradually to zero between 23 and 33, because most men are in stable relationships and leave the shopping to their partners, unless they are still on the prowl. "Our research shows that you can tell when a man is looking for a partner by the number of new underpants they buy for themselves," said Debenhams Head of Men's Accessories Buying, Rob Faucherand. "If he buys more than 31 pairs every year then he's either still trying desperately to impress the woman in his life -- or else she's not The One." However, Faucherand said that if your man seldom goes to the underwear section on his own, and instead assumes that you will choose for him, then you can be certain that your relationship is in a very stable phase. The survey also reveals that underwear-buying among men picks up again briefly between the ages of 38 and 40, when some men are going through relationship break-ups and seeking new partners again. The incidence of this new-found purchasing enthusiasm is short-lived however. It goes into a sharp decline and slumps to zero again at the age of 44 when men mostly find themselves in another stable relationship. After 44, most men remain strangers to the underwear department for the rest of their lives, handing all responsibility for their underwear to women, Debenhams said. "This is the one issue that feminism has never addressed," Faucherand said. "It's not who wears the pants in each household -- it's who has to buy them that counts."

Saw in the news about the "Man charged with theft on flight..." (here and there), so thought of 'compiling' a list of things we all could take note of when travelling. [not sure if there is an existing/similar thread on this though... and this thread is not about travel destinations and/or its itinerary] Assuming you had already booked the best air tickets and accommodations, the following are the things I would do: Before traveling make sure passport has at least 6 months of validity (save soft copies of documents, if necessary) e-register with MFA (sometimes forgotten, especially for short trips, haha) submit online arrival card for travel destination, if any check VISA requirements, if any, of travel destinations check travel destinations' entry requirements/restrictions; health & vaccinations requirements; customs regulations bring enough cash (if cards are not widely accepted as source of transactions at travel destinations) * get travel insurance get e-SIM (cheaper) for travel destination(s) in advance, or buy it over there (optional) get International Driving License (optional) Onboard the plane carry important documents/cash with you at all times (not leaving them in the bag/luggage) board the plane as early as possible ** do not help strangers with their bag/luggages on the plane, let the air steward/stewardess do it *** choose aisle seat (optional) - I prefer to keep sight of my bag/luggage avoid drinking too much water, else you might need to use the toilet but seatbelt sign is on for a very, very long duration due to turbulence (happened to me once) Abroad do not help strangers with their bag/luggages at the airport (should something happened, you might become the 'accomplice') *** take care of personal safety at all times obey the laws and respect the cultures/customs of travel destinations lockup important documents/cash, carry minimum cash where possible if you are driving, know the traffic rules and check vehicle insurance coverage (optional to drive overseas) Prior to return submit 'Sg Arrival Card' online as above on "Onboard the plane" * nowadays, I bring YouTrip card (multi-currency travel card/wallet), pretty much hassle-free and easy to use. There are other similar such card options of course. ** this is to ensure that my bag/luggage is within sight from where I'm seated, either above or opposite overhead compartment, don't want to take any chances eh. *** not because I am not helpful, just a precaution to safeguard ourselves from crime(s), so that we don't leave behind our thumbprints/DNA (or being mistaken as 'accomplice'), etc. The above list is not exhaustive, please feel free to share/add on your important 'must do' list eh, haha.

King and Queen officiate Thailand’s first royally-sponsored equal marriage WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 2025 His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen graciously officiated a royally-sponsored wedding ceremony at Amphorn Sathan Throne Hall, Dusit Palace, bestowing their blessings upon two same-sex couples — Kampol Wongnaree and Nutthabhum Taenseesang on May 19, 2025. This landmark event represents the first-ever royally-sponsored wedding granted by His Majesty the King to members of the LGBTQIA+ community in Thai history. Following the ceremony, Nutthabhum expressed profound gratitude for the royal benevolence in a heartfelt post on his personal Facebook page, stating: “My family and I deeply appreciate this unparalleled royal kindness, which is the highest honour for my family and lineage. Long live Their Majesties the King and Queen.” Earlier, on 1 February 2025, His Majesty and Her Majesty presented a bouquet and gifts to Kampol and Nutthabhum in celebration of their marriage registration. Kampol serves as a royal household official under the Royal Guard Unit Headquarters, Unit 904. A Historical Look Back at the Royally-Sponsored Wedding Ceremony The tradition of royally-sponsored wedding ceremonies dates back to the reign of King Vajiravudh (Rama VI). On Monday, August 26, 1918, at 2pm, His Majesty graciously ordered the royally-sponsored wedding ceremony of King Prajadhipok (Rama VII), who had not yet ascended the throne at that time, and Queen Rambhai Barni to be held at Varopat Piman Throne Hall, Bang Pa-in Palace. This event is regarded as Siam’s first official royally-sponsored wedding ceremony. The ceremony uniquely blended two cultural traditions. It began by seeking the consent of the royal couple, followed by the presentation of the royal conch shell water blessing, anointment, and the bestowing of gifts and personal funds by the King. The couple then signed the marriage register in the King’s presence, with King Vajiravudh acting as the royal witness by signing his royal cypher. Senior members of the royal family and high-ranking officials also served as witnesses. Following the formalities, His Majesty graciously hosted a royal luncheon, where toasts were offered in honour of the newlywed couple. At the appropriate time, the couple paid their respects before taking their leave from the palace. Subsequently, His Majesty authorised the establishment of royally-sponsored wedding ceremonies for members of both the royal family and commoners. While the ceremonial protocols remained broadly similar, the use of royal language varied according to the social status of the individuals involved. During the reign of King Prajadhipok (Rama VII), procedural changes were introduced by royal preference, including the removal of the formal questioning step. Later, in accordance with the Civil and Commercial Code, which states that a marriage is legally valid only upon official registration, the royally-sponsored wedding ceremonies were amended to include the additional step of marriage registration. This registration takes place after the couple signs the royal marriage register held by the Royal Household Secretariat. Photo by Nutthabhum Taenseesang

Any guys here who play golf? Would be good to get a small group going to play regularly. I am pretty average, but love the sport and trying to improve.
