BANGKOK SEXCAPADE PT.4B - BODYBUILDER FUCK ON X'MAS

I am really panicking now. The club is nearing its closing time, my friend has already selected his own hunk & he's pressuring me to make my own selection or he won't leave with his choice meat. Although it was a sweet move from my friend, he made me even more stressed cos' I didn't want him to miss out on the fun. On the other hand, I wanted this experience to be special so I've been holding out for that Significant one. But there's still no sign of The King!

I was about to give up hope & I wanted to tell my friend that it's ok, that he should go ahead without me. I was prepared to except my fate that this trip would end without a Bang, literally. 

And then he appeared, my Sexy Pharaoh! He must be prepared to head home as he was just casually dressed in a hooded sweater. Although his face was slightly concealed by the hood, I recognized him immediately. My face beamed & I guess it must have been pretty obvious cos' he caught me smiling at him & he smiled back. I then broke into a silly wide grin which was the cue for him to approach. He didn't miss a beat & instantly prodded himself on the seat next to me. Next, he opened his massive palm wide & signaled for me to put mine on his. And clearly, I couldn't resist. We started chatting, hand in hand & as the conversation progressed I took the chance to feel him up a little bit. I love touching his veiny forearm & bulging biceps. In fact, I was having a hard-on just from the chat. That was how much he turned me on. 

The chemistry between us was excellent & so it was logical that I ended up taking him out. As my hotel was nearby, We took a little walk & on the way, we got to know a bit more about each other. His name starts with the letter N, so let's just call him that. He turned out to be quite a charmer, cheeky even at times cos' he knows the perfect time to tease. 

By the time we reached the hotel room, there was no awkwardness between us. It felt like we were just a normal couple who had just come back from a night out. N announced that he needed to shower & proceeded to strip himself down. Then he just walked butt naked into the shower. I, on the other hand, naturally took the chance to ogle at his impressive bod while he stripped. Damn, I should have made him do a strip tease for me! But I was completely caught off guard by his announcement. 

Well, since I needed to shower too, why not join my hunk then? So without any further due, I got naked too. N gave me his cheeky smile once again as I approached him in the shower. I almost turned into jelly upon seeing that charismatic smirk. As I stepped into the shower, he pro-actively helped to soap me up & as his thick palm caressed my skin, I felt myself getting hard again. 

And how could I not take the chance to feel him up too? So after a while, I turned around & allow my hands to roam all over N's muscular bod. It started from his burly trapezius & slowly, my palms roved on to his thick deltoids that felt like two sturdy balls that were pumped to the max. N sensed that I was worshipping his massive bodybuilder bod & went on to flex his biceps, forming 2 huge bulges. I touched the biceps & they were expectantly hard & smooth under the running water. I went in for the kill, nibbling & licking the twin mound of taut muscles on his upper arms. From there, I moved on to N's broad pectorals, using my palms to grab as much of his chunky chest as possible, teasing his perky nipples with my fingers & tongue. He was himself all hard as well down there, his 6 inch glory pointing upwards. So it wasn't too long that We ended up making out under the gushing water. Our hands were frantically grabbing each other all over, we were kissing each other hurriedly & he was literally 'wet' humping me (we didn't have condoms on hand). Haha...

I knew I had to put a stop to this before I spurt my own juice cos I was too turned on. I told N I wanted the real action to be on the bed & with that, he stepped out, toweled himself dry & made himself comfortable on the bed. What a cheeky fellow!


Mr Cheeky, N, giving me the thumbs up in bed.

The sight of N sprawled on the bed was super sexy. His tanned skin was a sensuous contrast against the white bed sheets. I couldn't resist the sight & pounced on him. I resumed worshipping him, kissing & licking his every body part lovingly.  N obviously liked the attention & he was soon moaning in pleasure. As I went down on him, he offered his cum provider readily for me to suck.


N offering his delicious cock for me to suck.

How could I reject the offer? With much glee, I welcomed his manhood into my willing mouth. I love cocks that are 6 inches. They are long enough to reach my G spot when I'm being fucked & they are not so long that they cause me to gag when I'm sucking. N's cock, in this case, was just perfect; plus it had the girth that I liked. His sperm spewer is thick enough for my hole to handle & it was beautifully shaped. I sucked on heartily, taking all my time to adulate this prime grade beef & his glorious cock.
N's wonderful beefy bod & his marvelous cock

I was still enjoying myself when N decided to take over. He got off the bed & flipped me over so that I was lying on my back. Then without much effort, he grabbed my legs & pulled me towards him. My butt is now hanging over the edge of the bed. N then lifted my legs & rested them on his shoulders. He put on a condom, lubed me up & in an instant he was inside me. I didn't feel any initial pain at all, partly because i was so ready to be fucked & partly because N's cock was perfect. N's man-meat was ideal for me as it tapers to a cute bulbous head. This is the best type of cock for a bottom as it does not rudely force the hole open but gently pries wide as it enters & as mentioned before, I also liked his girth which made me feel like I was tight whenever he pushed all the way in. I loved his big balls too. I liked to feel their weight in my fingers as I fondle them.

When N finally start to thrust, I was already in 7th heaven & I had to consciously tell myself not to auto-cum like I tend to whenever I'm extremely turned on. He felt so good inside me & I never want him to stop. In his hands, I was like a rag doll cos he was flipping me in all kinds of position & pumping me till I was heady with euphoria. He even did one of his show-stopper moves which he performed onstage. So the move basically involves me on all fours with my butt jutted high in the air, resembling an inverted V & I would be facing a wall. He would then enter me & immediately do a cartwheel. He is now upside down, using his hands to support himself on the floor & his legs are resting on the wall. He would then proceed to fuck me while maintaining that position. The move looked spectacular on stage but honestly, it's just a visual trick. It did nothing for me, I'd prefer a cuddle & snuggle into his immense pecs anytime. Haha...

So that's what we eventually ended up; back in bed. As N laid back, clearly fatigued by all the acrobatic sexual moves, I went back to giving his juicy shaft some lip-smacking attention. I worked up a frenzy, everything came into play; my hands, lips, tongue & even the stubbles on my chin all came to fight for attention for N's magnificent cock. All that jerking, licking, sucking & abrasion soon got to N's pulsing ass-plower & with a sudden jerk of his hunky bod, white creamy cum started spewing from his piss hole, landing on his stomach. I couldn't let this precious essence go to waste so I decided to lick it all off but not without capturing it on cam for posterity 1st.


N's yummy, creamy man essence

I was really glad that I finally accomplished what I set out to achieve for this trip. I've finally ticked another sexual bucket list off, which was to do it with a bodybuilder. 

The bonus is that N was such an extremely nice guy. What I liked most about him is that he wasn't in a hurry to finish me off but made sure that I enjoyed the time with him. I have no doubt that he is a true blue bodybuilder cos' he was carrying his own lunch box of home-made steamed chicken when he left the club with me. It was supposed to be his supper! He informed me that he'll be taking part in a Bodybuilder contest this coming April. Best of luck to you, N!

BANGKOK SEXCAPADE PT.4A - BODYBUILDER FUCK ON X'MAS

So, it's Christmas Day. My friend who bailed out on me is well-rested & we're both ready to have a wild time tonight. Before the trip, I had already indicated to him that my ultimate purpose was to find a Bodybuilder to fuck me & what better place to go than Tawan Bar which is famous for their muscle boys?

Got to Tawan at slightly past 10pm, which was just minutes to showtime. In the meantime, we could ogle at the boys who are taking turns to parade themselves on the stage. Browsing through the studs, my favorite guy was No. 50, who had one of the thickest pecs I have ever seen on an Asian guy. He had the cutest boyish face, coupled with the hottest bulky bod. He'll be perfect for tonight, I thought to myself. He also seem to have a delicious bulge down below. But alas, before the show even started, He was already taken by a chubby customer at the bar. Damn! I watched with envy as the Chub roamed his hands all over No. 50 as he sat next to him.

After losing No. 50, I had to look for another potential target & my friend tried to help by pointing out other candidates to me but somehow I felt that no one came close to No. 50. Then there was No. 8 who in terms of bod, was close to No. 50. His face was more mature & less handsome. He seemed to like me cos' everytime he finished his parade on stage, he would flash his smile at me as he walked past our table. With much egging from my friend, I finally plucked up courage & invited him to sit with me & No.8 was very eager! He kept suggesting that I take him out. I was however much keener to check out his package, so eventually I asked him & he said he would if I tipped him. We agreed on the tip & he gave me a peek into his posing trunks. Hmmm... didn't look very attractive & not potentially hung. After this, I sort of lost interest in No. 8 but he didn't let off & kept pestering me to take him out. Sorry Baby, I maybe a Slut but if you are such an easy target, it's no challenge. With that, I sent No. 8 away.

Then the show kicked off. If you guys have been to these shows in Bangkok, there are no surprises here. Basically, there were various segments featuring different hunks & it will eventually end with a couple of Hunks doing a 'fucking show' in multiple positions that you never imagined was possible. I specifically remembered an Egyptian themed scene where you had the Studs playing Egytian soldiers & various fluffers who played the slaves. So the story goes that the Hunky soldiers are slave drivers & would flog the slaves & force them into doing various sexual favors. It was a hot hot scene that had a little bit S&M feel to it & everyone ended up in an orgy scene. What was so memorable about this there was this Handsome dude who played the King. However, I do not recall this Meatloaf parading himself on stage earlier. No matter, I was transfixed by this Charmer who played the Pharaoh & I couldn't take my eyes off him as he ordered the slaves to slowly strip him, finally revealing his hard erected cock. I sat there riveted, I was transfixed as The King went about stuffing his shaft down various slaves' throat making them suck his thick staff. He even went on to fuck another Hunk who played an Egyptian soldier. Wow, I was super turned on by The Pharaoh & it was decided. This Slut will not settle for anything less than The Dictator. I deserve to be fucked by an Egyptian Pharaoh!

When the show ended, it was back to the Muscle dudes parading themselves on stage again. I kept my eyes peeled for My King but he was not amongst the guys. I was perplexed, is he not on offer? As time went by & more & more of the Studs were picked & taken by different customers, I began to panic. Is this night gonna end with an anti-climax? Should I lower my standards & quickly snap up one of the remaining Hunks before they are all taken?

To Be Continued....

BANGKOK SEXCAPADE PT.3 - DJ STATION

It's Christmas eve & I've got a friend who's touching down today & together both of us are gonna paint the Bangkok town red. I was really looking forward to this but imagine my dismay when my friend informed me that he's tired cos' he'd been rushing out work the whole night prior to coming to Bkk & that he's not really in the mood to go out & party.

So, would this Slut let a slight letdown stop him from having a good time? Well, of course it's a Hell No! I was determined to have a fantastic time & it was decided that I'd head down to DJ Station & dance the night away with or without a friend.

Got to the club at slightly past midnight. I was surprised that the club wasn't ultra packed. It was only later that I found out from a local Thai friend that Christmas is actually not such a big deal in Thailand. In fact, it's not even a Public Holiday! Anyhow, I'm not complaining cos' I never liked it when clubs are fully packed as there's no space for this Slut to show off his sexy dance moves.

15 minutes after I got into the club, I was already shaking my booty wildly on the dancefloor. The crowd consisted of every stereotype that you typically see in a gay club. You have the Sistas with their drama mama dance moves on the raised podium, the Farangs (Foreigners), the Sarong Party Gays (SPGs) who go after the Farangs. The Twinks, the Bears & of course the Muscle boys who would strip off their tops & parade themselves on the podium so that they could be admired.

So, this Slut was really immersing himself in the pumping hot dance mixes of pop songs, soaking in the ecstatic atmosphere in the club. It was then that I sensed a pair of eyes staring at my sexy back as I was gyrating to the beats. I turned my head slightly backwards & then I spotted him. He looked Eurasian, probably in his early 20s. Taller than me, he must have been at least 1.8m cos I stand at 1.75m. I turned my head back to the front & continued to groove to the music.

I wasn't expecting to hook up that night as my motive was just to have a great night out, to enjoy the music. However, it would turn out otherwise. The Eurasian boy never moved away though I was not paying any attention to him. In fact, as time passed, I felt that he had actually inched himself closer & closer to me. I decided to take a 2nd glance cos I didn't have a very good look the 1st time round. As I turned my face sideways, our eyes met & this time round I looked hard. Hmmm... he's actually quite a good-looking chap. He had a slight resemblance to a popular Taiwanese singer, Anthony Neely who himself is an Eurasian. 

Liking what I see, I gave him a slutty smile to which he returned the favor. Right there, I knew I've got the goods in the bag. Just as expected, moments after we made that eye contact, I felt a pair of hands on my hips. Eurasian boy has made his move & is now swaying in tune with me. I moved in for the kill & leaned back against his broad chest. I placed my hands over his that were at my hips & drew them in front so that he was now hugging me at the waist. He had nice manly forearms which I liked a lot. It felt so good to be in his embrace. We started exchanging formalities & I learned that his name starts with 'H' & forms part of the word 'Handsome'. How apt! I was thinking to myself. 

So there we were, enjoying each other's warm body as we rocked to the music on the dancefloor. Then H became more daring & started grinding his crotch against my butt. Of course, I played along & pressed myself closer to him. In a jiffy, I started to feel a hardness prodding my soft buns. Ooh, Mr. H is turned on! I reached behind & felt H up. The stiffened tool didn't feel very big but it was without a doubt very hard! In fact, in that 2 hours plus that we were dancing together, H never once lost his erection. I kept teasing him about his hard-on & H blamed it on his raging hormones. Ah, raging hormones! How nice to be young & horny.

Without any surprises, as we approached the closing time of the club, H invited me to spend the night with him. Looking at his handsome face, it would be a sin to reject him, plus it helped that he stayed just a stone's throw away from the club. And so, we ended up in his Hotel room. H excused himself to the bathroom & I immediately stripped down to my white underwear & flopped myself onto the sprawling King-sized bed. I wanted to greet H with my tanned bod encased in a cute white bikini when he stepped out of the bathroom. 

Soon, H was out of the bathroom & when he saw me on the bed, he pounced on top of me & started giving me hurried kisses all over my body. He was completely naked & in an instant, he was all hard again & I began feeling that boner pushing against my bum. I protested that I needed a shower as I was all sweaty & sticky but in that heightened sexual state that H is in, he wasn't going to wait for me to shower & assured me that I smelled nice to him. Haha...

H resumed his kisses all over my back & shoulders which were one of my most sensual areas & his smooches soon get the better of me as I started to moan & relented to the fact that I'm never gonna get my shower. As H went further down south, he approached my white undies & gingerly pulled it down over my mound of fleshy rump. I'm now totally stripped bare by H & I'm at his utter mercy. Next, he buried his face in my bubblelicious butt, giving it a wild rim & at the same time telling me how he had waited all night for this. He kept complimenting my voluptuous bottom, how it kept him hard all night as he grinded against me on the dance floor.

I decided to return him the favor & pulled him down onto the bed so that he is now lying on his back on the bed. His legs were spread wide open & his 5 inches of hot meat is obviously needing some loving attention. I got in between his legs & went right on target. In a swift gulp, I gobbled up his firm wiener fully in my wet trap. It helped that he wasn't too hung & I was able to work my magic without choking myself. H crossed his hands & placed them behind his head & watched smilingly at me as I sucked on while maintaining eye contact with him. I must have looked like a wanton slut then but I didn't care. I just wanted to make sure my man is pleasured. 

Then H pulled my up against him & we kissed passionately. He was a very good kisser & he obviously likes smooching. We spent a good while sucking each other's face & in that time his hands were also busy roaming around my body which inevitably ends up grabbing my spongy buns. He kept saying my skin was damn smooth & that I smelled so nice. He would bury his face on my neck & take deep breaths from there.

Eventually, we got on to the Main Event where H put me in a doggie position at the edge of the bed. At this height, my man cunt was on the same level as H's pulsing cock as he stood there by the bedside. As he plunged forward into my dark access, I felt like a bride who has finally managed to consummate her wedding to the groom. H was a competent fucker. Perhaps knowing that he's not too hung, he liked to fuck deep & whenever he did that, his cock tip would massage my G spot & made me moan out loud. 

H came fairly quickly. I wasn't surprised cos he'd been horny all night but what astonished me was that his dick was still stone hard even after he had cummed. I was amused & couldn't stop playing with it, tickling his balls & milking his still rigid prick with my hands. Within minutes, he was ready for another round & this time he gave me a good pound. We ended up in a Scissor Fuck position where I was lying sideways on the bed with him sitting on one of my thighs while my other thigh was resting on his shoulder. In this position, H had full access to my man hole & he could go real deep inside. This was one of my favorite positions apparently for the deepness of the fuck that could be achieved. This time, we timed ourselves so that both of us shot our load at the same time. Exhausted, we would then hug each other to sleep.

Who would have thought that a night out alone would end up this way?

BANGKOK SEXCAPADE PT.2 - HERO MASSAGE

After the disastrous visit to Sauna Mania where I only managed to get just a miserable fuck. I decided that I would opt for a sure-fire hit, a satisfaction guaranteed experience. So it's off to Hero Massage since I've read nothing but all praises of this place.

Hero Massage is known for its tip-top service & muscular masseurs. So, this Slut made his way there with pretty high expectations. To get to Hero, you basically take the BTS to Nana station & take the exit on your left. Once you are on street level, you would see Sukhumvit Soi 11. It's a 10-15min walk in, until the end of the Soi where you will see a bungalow -like mansion & that's where Hero is situated. If you are too lazy to walk, you could always pay 20 baht to the motor-cycle taxi drivers hanging around Soi 11. Tell them you are going to Hero. They would know. 

Once you enter the mansion, you'd be greeted by the mama-san or papa-san. Then you'll be brought to sit on a sofa that is facing a big glass room & the masseurs would be in the glass room or what most people call 'fish tank'. They would start flexing their muscles & many would smile at you if you made eye contact. 

This is not a time to be shy. Smile back if you like the boy, if not just move on to the next one. Also make sure you communicate your preferences to the mama/papa-san. Like I said, do not be shy. Some common questions they would ask you would be:
1) You looking for Top? (Just bloody admit if you are.)
2) You prefer big cocks? (If you say so, the mama/papa-san will help you to identify which boys are well-hung.)

Take your time, end of the day, you are paying for this so make sure you make the correct choice. On top of these, I also requested for a guy who can speak English. (Papa-san will tell you most can speak a little haha...). I also asked the papa-san which of the boys were gay & he graciously pointed those out. The reason I asked is because I didn't want to end up a straight one who ended up being a dead fish who is totally uninterested to service me. 

Unfortunately for me, it was dinner time & some of the boys were not present for me to pick as they're having dinner. I decided to wait. So there I was, gazing at the 20 odd boys who were all eagerly waiting to be picked. However, after awhile they also lost interest when I still hadn't made my choice. I felt a little bad about it but I didn't want to make a hasty choice.

Lucky for me, the boys that were out for dinner finally came back to join the rest & this time round I spotted my Chosen One. He looked a tad more mature than the other boys & was slightly more muscular than most. He also didn't seem too eager like the younger ones. The strong silent one, yeah that's the kind I like. I beckoned to the papa-san & asked if he met my criteria & it was a definite Yes. Only thing is, he's straight. I'm gonna call him C. However, when I made eye contact with C, I caught a faint smirk on his face as if he was confident that I would pick him & right away I knew he would be mine.

I was then ushered into another room where I met C & he lead me upstairs to my massage room. The room wasn't very big but it was enough & it had an attached bathroom which was nice. C & me started chatting. He asked me if I would like  a shower & I replied that I would like to. On that note, he excused himself to grab towels. 

While he was gone, I began stripping down & got into the shower. It helped that the shower was facing the room door & I knew that the 1st thing that would greet C's eyes would be my delicious butt cheeks once he opens the door. Then I heard the door being opened & there he was, my beautiful stud, C. I caught him eyeing me from top to bottom & when he was satisfied with what he saw, his face broke into the most charming smile that I've seen. I, on the other hand, smiled back seductively. Without taking his eyes off me, he also began taking off his clothes. When he was finally fully naked, that's when I caught a glimpse of his manhood. His cock was at least 5 inches long even in it's unaroused state.

He approached me & joined me in the shower. He offered to soap me which I obviously couldn't refuse. When his hands started roaming around my bod, giving me a light massage, I couldn't help but let out moans of relief. When I was finally covered with soap all over, He hugged me from the back & began sliding his hunky bod up & down my back. As he did so, I could feel his half-hardened prick probing around my rump. The feeling was so sensual that I got hard in an instant. I couldn't take it anymore & I turned around & soon we were pawing each other everywhere with full-on wet kisses.  He tasted so heavenly & he kissed well. I reached down to feel him up & by now his phallus is fully blood-gorged & it was a very sizeable 7 incher.

I had to exert a lot of self-control & finished up the shower. I told him I still want the massage to which he agreed. So off to the massage bed we went & the massage commenced. I was really surprised that C's skills were quite decent. He was obviously quite well-trained & for a good half an hour, he really worked away all the tiredness in my bod. Of course, my mind was always distracted whenever C's poker rod brushed against me in the course of the back rub. I had to mentally tell myself to not react & enjoy the massage. 

Then it was time to flip me over & I'm now lying on my back, I am now able to make eye contact with C & I just love looking at his handsome manly face. Whenever he smiles, I would feel my heart melting a little bit inside. In my current position, my hands were able to meander around his sturdy bod & tease his semi-hardon. 

So it was no surprise that the massage ended prematurely as he climbed up onto the bed, straddled himself across my chest & fed me his delectable 7 inches of goodness. I sucked on ferociously & tried to take in as much of his fuck stick as possible. He, on the other hand, was thrusting his meat in & out of my wet mouth. I took the chance to grab his firm bum cheeks & I could feel his butt muscles tightening whenever he thrusted forward. It felt great but I was in a compromised position, being pinned down by C & there wasn't a lot that I could do in return. Plus, he's starting to gag me with his chunky banana. I knew I had to turn the table around. 

I got up & made him lie on the massage bed. His massive cock was now pointing skywards unmistakably needing immediate attention. I got in between his legs & then I went down on him. I'm now in a better position & I'm able to take him all the way down my throat & I went at it fervently. I was bobbing my head up & down his hefty pole & I sucked so hard like I wanted to milk his essence out. I gave his balls a good tongue bath & also played with his nipples. I made sure my man was also moaning in sexual bliss.

I didn't have to wait too long before I heard the inevitable. 
'Do you want me to fuck you, Sir?'
'Are you kidding me? Of course it's a resounding Yes, Yes, YES!' I heard myself saying at the back of my head. In reality, I could only give him a silly grin & nodded my head. He jumped off the bed & immediately grabbed the condom & lube that were on the side table. My man looked so cute as he was putting on the condom on himself that I couldn't resist but to grab my phone & quickly snapped him. C was caught off guard & did a small protest. But hey, this Slut is not gonna let up. I assured him that I did not take his face & showed him the pic. It was then that he felt more relieved. And then I took the chance to snap another pic of his impressive 7 incher. Haha....


Moments before C starts pleasuring The Slut.


C's exquisite 7" of yummy goodness sheathed in a red condom.

The rest as you would have guessed, is the euphoria that this Slut experienced as C took over control & gave me a hard pound. It didn't feel like we were patron & service provider. We were really making love like lovers. He was kissing me passionately, I was hugging him tightly while he filled my hole entirely with his heavy-weight cock & pumped away. C made me feel so good that I eventually auto-cummed on myself. When C saw that, He pulled off the condom & jerked himself till he sprayed his seed all over my body. I ended up covered with both our love juices & it was the greatest feeling at that moment.

After we washed up, I decided to push my luck & complimented C on his awesome tattoo, which I sincerely liked. Then I asked C to pose for a last pic. Amazingly, he agreed. So for all you readers' benefit, here it is, The Chosen One, Mr. C.


In return for his excellent service, the tip that C got was of course a little more than usual. You're my Hero. I will be back.
