There's a short time hotel attached to Penny Black (at least that's what it used to be called). If that's what she's talking about, it's a decent for ST. Bigger than most. I'd be surprised if it's still running with Soi Cowboy being shutdown. Can't imagine they are getting much if any business.
 
Cleanliness is so/so and hit and miss at just about ever ST hotel. I don't remember that one being particularly bad though.

Straight to my room. Wouldn't think of taking a hooker from the net that I've never met out for dinner and a night out before shagging them. For a couple reasons:
 
1. Spending more money unnecessarily and opening up the potential for the date to backfire. You might find things you don't like about her or she might find things she doesn't like about you that leads to either you or her not looking forward to the later encounter. Even worse is if the ladyboy thinks that you're courting her because you're looking for more than a fuuck... then you've got a paid date that doesn't want to leave, bugging you on messaging apps, jealously, etc.
2. Filling a ladyboy with food and then going out for the night doesn't sound like a good idea when someone is about to get fucked in the ass later. Eating and drinking gets the bowels moving... A lot of ladyboys plan their diet out to eat at certain times to keep their pooper as vacant as possible during their usual playtime. Probably not going to have much affect if you eat and then go straight back to the room, but eating, going out for a few hours... things are going to be starting to move from the stomach to the intestines in a few hours. Sure, the ladyboy can shoot a few gallons of water up their ass to clean as much shit out  as possible, but I think you're just creating more room for leakage, gas, smells, etc. ... Nope
 
I'm not saying to not do go out and eat and take ladyboys out for a night out, but it's better to do it with someone you've met before and know you have a connection with. It'll probably be a lot less embarrassing if either of you have an accident after a big meal and a night out if it's someone you've been with before. That's not something you want to happen on a first time encounter IMO.

It's only an hour. Does it really matter?

Backup your phone and do a complete reset of your phone. Settings -> Erase -> Erase all content and settings.
 
Once your device is wiped and the OS is reinstalled, if you still experience issues, you can pretty much conclude that its a hardware issue. I agree with Boomerang that it sounds like a major problem, but it also could be due to you installing a corrupt app or screensaver or anything that modifies the OS. Cache is definitely not the issue.

iPad is not good for downloading because there is no file browser. It is designed solely for you to run apps that are installed out of the box and what's in the iTunes store. So unless you do some non-standard stuff with an iPad, you aren't going to be able to go to some porn site, download five or six 400mb movies, and then come back and watch them later. The other reason as that standard iPad caps out at 128gb of storage space and that's it! I could download 128gb of porn in a month... If you want more than that, you'd have to upgrade to an iPad pro which is like $1000 for 256 version... You could get an excellent laptop for that amount. And back to the file explorer problem, connecting it to a USB hard drive isn't much of an option for extra storage either. You could jailbreak the device or something, but then you break the warranty and it's a headache.
 
The other thing is that iPad by default doesn't support certain file types like MKV. You'd have to download a separate app for those files. Even streaming flash on iPad is not possible.... Thankfully, most websites have switched to HTML5, so its not too big of a deal, but you will definitely run into instances where you want to watch a movie but can't because it's only available in flash. So when it comes to streaming movies and porn, iPad is a 2nd class device, and when it comes to downloading, you're not going to have a good experience.
 
Filling in web based forms, and surfing the web are a breeze with iPad. Email is fine too.... Keep in mind that you're probably going to not want to type anything long on the virtual keyboard on the screen, but its okay. Streaming sports will be fine as well.
 
But you can do all that with a Windows Tablet or an Android Tablet too.
 
If you're certain that you never want to connect your device via HDMI to a monitor or TV and you have no intention of ever installing full fledged programs like Excel, Word, Photoshop, etc.... Android would be my #1 choice. It is much more open than iPad, but less secure and wonky.
 
If you want a bulletproof device that is sleek, sexy, looks great, but is severely limited in functionality... iPad or iPad Pro.
 
If you want a true desktop replacement, go with a Windows tablet. I have a surface pro that I use as a desktop when I'm home (with bluetooth keyboard, mouse) connected to a full sized monitor. When I'm on the road, I unplug it and use it as a laptop, and when I'm in bed or in a bus or something, I can use it in tablet mode. I can wirelessly stream TV/Movies to my television with a wireless microsoft adapter (only some tablets support this- Surface book is one of them). But you really only need this option if you want full PC functionality and need to install full PC programs. Otherwise Android will work for you, and you actually do have file folder functionality with Android.

You'll be limited to Apps if you buy something that runs iOS or Android. If you're really looking for a desktop replacement (has all the functionality of a Windows or Mac computer) then get a tablet that runs Windows. Surface Pro is a good option, or if you want to use it as a laptop sometimes, Surface Book is a good option. There's also an array of other tablets that run Windows which will serve as a good replacement.
 
Will you be streaming movies or downloading them? If you want to download anything, don't get an iPad... If you just want to stream from websites, surf the web and check emial... okay iPad is an okay option. But as soon as you run into a situation where you want to connect to a TV or monitor via HDMI, use a USB device or download a full program like Word or Excel, you'll wish you hadn't. My iPad basically gathers dust because it doesn't do anything my iPhone can't, and it can't do anything that my tablet/laptop hybrid can.

I am not anti-truvada. In fact, I said that I support you taking it if you want to lower your risk. I would rather see you taking it than not taking it.
 
Truvada has only been shown to be 99% effective if you're taking it every day and that is in controlled studies. I'll reiterate that it's just a drug, and every drug's effectiveness can be reduced by your behavior, other drugs, and other things you ingest. If you're taking PREP and walking around feeling like you're risk has been lowered, then that's smart. If you're taking PREP and thinking that HIV is now a "non-issue" then I think you've got your blinders on. The fact that men have gotten HIV while taking PREP should be enough proof for anyone to be cautious.
 
And even if you're taking PREP, it doesn't protect you against hepatitis, gonorrhea, or any of the other drug-resistant strains of infections that people are dying from here every day. So I hope you're using condoms in addition to PREP. If I were a "concern troll" then I would definitely be taking prep, but I just use condoms so that I have range of protection against everything. I just got over a drug-resistant strain of phlarnygitis.... It took 3 rounds of different antibiotics and multiple hospital visits over two months to finally knock it out. It spread to my tonsils and sinuses, and at one point I thought I was going to die because of how fucked up I was from the sickness and the high dose of antibiotics I was on. If I had caught that on my dick, who knows what kind of damage it could have caused.
 
Of course "no one gets out alive", but it's up to you to keep yourself alive as long as possible. Please, by all means take PREP... I highly encourage you to. But don't use it as your only protection.

I think a few of you guys need to wake up a little bit. PREP is not a silver bullet.

Most guys aren't fucking numerous hookers on a daily basis. If you are flying to Thailand and swallowing cum of multiple hookers, you are in the very small minority and are at much higher risk than any average person. Sure, a guy in the west who goes out and barebacks a random here and there is probably going to be protected against the occasional exposure, but guys who are mongering with several ladyboys who are getting fucked daily and possibly multiple times per day are at a much higher risk than any average guy.
 
I'm not saying you're surely going to catch anything, but when I hear things like "If you're taking PREP it's a non-issue", it's really silly. Prep is just a drug, and HIV is a a virus... It only take exposure to one mutated strain of HIV for your PREP doused body to mean nothing. It only takes one instance of drinking/eating something that has not been studied in conjunction with the drug to decrease it's concentration in your bloodstream as well.
 
By all means, if you're willing to take PREP, keep taking it. But don't take it and consider ridiculously high-risk activity as a "non-issue"... It would be virtually impossible to study a large subset of guys that engage in consistent mongering. There is always a risk no matter what drugs you take, and while I do support you taking antiviral drugs, do not consider yourself safe because of them. Even if you've lowered your risk substantially, people do win the lottery, and people do end up in car crashes when they say "It'll never happen to me."

Hi Guys,
I know this is an old post, and i hope it is ok to revive it for such an important topic. i don`t want to ruin anyone`s hardon, but i figure it is important for me to tell my story.
So..I was a hetro for many many years and never had any experiences with anyone except for women. Fast forward to my 4th or 5th trip to BKK on biz and i found myself drunk in nana and trying to stick my tongue down a hot hot "chick"`s throat - when suddenly i was informed that there was a little extra between the legs, and to my surprise it didn`t bother me - in fact i liked it! Fast forward 10 years later and i became a LB "addict", where this became my preference by default, and teh center of my free time. So many things about LB that i love, but, i can sum it up in 4 words - I love the sex!!!
So, playing around like the rest of us, sometimes on top, some times on bottom, always with condom except for BJ (giving and getting).
Always healthy, never really any issues. Fast forward 5 years ago, i caught my first case of gonorrhea (i was 45 years old!!)....who knows how and from whom. Got rid of it and all was great.
2 years ago, i had an encounter with a "bored in room and looking for fun" lb that i met on CL. She did not want cash, was originally from VN but lived in the USA here for plastic surgery (that was her story) and we started to play. After some regular foreplay, she got on top (with a condom) and things were great. At a certain point i reached back to feel the condom (i always do this for reassurance) and just as i did, she pulled out and said "oops it just slipped off a second ago".
Ok,... didn`t think much of it. She put it back on and we played a bit more and that was that.
Well....as you can all guess, that was not "THAT".....
a few weeks later, flu-like symptoms, doc visit, anti-biotics, symptoms don`t clear, a week or 2 go by, i go back to doctor and he sends me to the ID Doc, he runs the array of tests and comes back with the bad news - i am HIV positive....shock...utter shock! How? What? Me? I`m a married guy with a good job, kids, no drugs, always use condoms...THIS CAN`T BE HAPPENING!!!
It was horrible. I was completely uneducated and thought that i would die a shameful horrible death within months - luckily i was absolutely wrong. Started meds, read and researched TONS, told the wife who supported me throughout the process, she is neg, after a few months i was UD, perfectly healthy, perfect CD4 and life has gone on.
 
A few things to learn from my case (regarding HIV only! - there are many other STD`s):
any risk of exposure is a real risk of exposure and should be treated accordingly. Bottoms and needle users (for whatever) have the highest risk of exposure. 1 second of exposure is exposure. Had i been educated, i would have known about PeP. If you have been exposed, PeP is a real option that has a VERY HIGH chance of preventing infection. For those that don`t know, PeP is basically taking HIV meds within a day or 2 of exposer (i forget the exact amount of time, but the sooner the better) for an entire month, thus preventing the virus from infecting white blood cells and multiplying. It is like the "morning after pill" of HIV. It works! I was ignorant,i had no idea, i didn`t even think of it, and the rest is history. Stupid me! People with HIV who are on meds and UD (UnDetectable viral load) cannot infect others through sex. This is 99.9% certain. UD = Untranslatable. That is why testing regularly and knowing ones status is so important, and, if one gets infected, starting meds asap is important. The sooner you start your meds once infected, the better. In fact you will have a near NORMAL LIFE EXPECTANCY and can be if you start immediately (some say a LONGER one since the frequent doc visits catch any anomalies early and can be treated, as opposed to people who do not frequently visit docs). The quicker you start, the less long term damage done to your immune system. I was lucky since i showed symptoms and went to get checked. MOST PEOPLE DO NOT SHOW SYMPTOMS WHEN FIRST INFECTED. SO, GET CHECKED REGULARLY!! This will cause controversy i am sure - It is safer to have sex with someone who is HIV Positive and UNDETECTABLE, rather than someone whose status is unknown. Think it through, and if you disagree with me, let me know why. People who are HIV positive and NOT on medication and NOT UD (undetectable) usually are VERY infectious because their Viral Load (VL) is high. When i discovered my infection, it was soon after being infected, when the VL is very high usually, and my VL was around 4MILLION! It took 3 months of meds to get me UD (= less than 40!!). My wife was very lucky because we had sex a few times just days before i was diagnosed and yet she never got infected - we (she) were very lucky! Life goes on after HIV - daily meds is the main burden, but today, the side affects are mild, and things are basically normal - life goes on. I usually disclose to the sex partners i play with out of sheer conscience and morality (and perhaps legality). 99% don`t seem to care. Most LB`s seem to understand the basics or just don`t seem to care. I sometimes wonder how many are poz and/if on meds. Today there is a something called PreP - this is taking HIV meds before infection on a regular daily basis - for people who are high risk. It is a preventative measure and has proved to prevent being infected more than 90% of the cases. It is given for free in some places like the Redcross. I try teaching the LB i meet about this and urge them to start since they are very high risk. In my case, i believe i figured out how i got it - that one incident. However, often i wonder if i got it from oral sex where i gave and did not use a condom (i never used a condom giving or getting). I know the chances are EXTREMELY low and "no documented cases" but maybe that`s because no one knows that is how they got it? Oh well, looking forward and not backwards! So....sorry if i ruined anyone`s good time. I thought it would be important to tell men of the same interest a real life story from just an ordinary normal guy like you, and hopefully it will help someone out one of these days.
BTW, if anyone has any questions, feel free to PM me.
Take care guys. I LOVE THIS FORUM!
