We are moving to a new site!

I was quite motivated by all the letters, feedback, comments, and support that I have decided to shell out a few bucks and have this site hosted. You see, my biggest frustration with blogger is the lack of categories, plus it does not really lend well to collaboration.

So folks I have migrated all the stories to the new site at www.philippines4men.com. Please bookmark this and update your links.

How to Detect a Two-Way Mirror

There are urban legends about two-way mirrors (or is it one-way mirrors?) in hotels or motels wherein one can view what is happening on the other side. Personally I think such an urban tale is bogus but don't take my word for it. If you want to be sure, click on the link below.

Socialporn.com...its digg but for porn

To those who are familiar with digg, one story was on a site called socialporn that is similar to digg but on pornography. Looks interesting just to see how "popular" a site can be. I had placed this blog on the site to see how it pans out.

Entertaining Foreigners

Categories: KTV, massage

Let me tell a story . . .

A few years back, the company I work in decided to host its annual executive conference in Philippines. These conferences were like junkets---the agenda did not really matter (it was a lot of corporate-speak and strategic planning mumbo-jumbo), but it was a great opportunity to travel and to meet peers and colleagues from all over the asia region. One of the events was dinner and cocktails in Shangri-La Hotel. A lot of the foreign guests begged off, citing that they were tired from their trip, and attendance in the dinner was less than 50%.

Now, the after-dinner event (which was definitely not in the official agenda), was a trip to the bars in the Quezon City area. We had a handful of foreigners with us, but when we arrived at the bar, it was jam-packed! With guests that didn't even show up in the dinner!

The culmination was a round of golf with the senior executives in Tagaytay Highlands. The game was on a Saturday and many of them had a flight to catch at Saturday afternoon. Naturally, to get a head start, I had to fetch them in the hotel at about 5 am. And so here we were, just about to leave for Tagaytay, when several of the conference participants were just arriving from the bars, with some girls hand-in-hand!

I know it is not something to be proud of, but a lot of foreigners come to Philippines expecting such an experience. The nature of my job requires me to meet with senior executives and colleagues from the asia pacific region, and when they come over to the Philippines, a lot of them expect entertainment.

Here are some tips:

1) Some of you may find it awkward to ask about their expectations. My suggestion is to use a general question. "What do you want to see tonight?" is what I normally use, most of the time with a sly smile.

2) If you are on a budget, have dinner and drinks somewhere else before heading to the KTV or the MP. Dinner and drinks are more expensive in a KTV.

3) If you are on a tight schedule, then best go to a massage parlor. There is a natural "winding-down" atmosphere once you all leave your respective rooms. A KTV, on the other hand, tends to spiral out of control until someone either drops to the floor dead-drunk or you realize it is time to go to work.

4) If the people you are taking out are considered more senior than you, think twice about that KTV trip. Reason being is that some executives are uneasy about cavorting in front of juniors. Massage Parlors are a safer place, because the senior need not explain what happens behind closed doors.

5) If you plan to charge this to your company, check first with your boss.

And one last thing, if you are on the receiving end of the entertainment, make sure that you are not violating any company guideline and make sure you will not be accused of any favoritism or involved in any possible conflict of interest. For example, if you are the decision-maker in a bid between several providers, and one of the providers invite you for a KTV night, you may open yourself to a lot of issues if you accept.

Handlers vs Free-Lance

Categories: escort

Which is better: getting a free-lance escort or an escort through a handler?

There are pros and cons to this, so let me enumerate the various differences. Just to be clear, a free-lance escort is an escort you call directly---there is no middle-man; the lady you speak to is the lady you will meet. A handler functions as the middle man between you the customer and the escort. The handler is similar to a broker, wherein his primary role is to match a buyer with specific needs and a seller with a product or service that meets the buyer's needs.

In the past, acquiring an escort through a handler was the only way to go. This was before the Internet, before emails, before mobile phones, and before SMS. The escort, at the time, had little means for being introduced to clients, no means of communication (she could probably be living in a place with no phone), no means of "marketing." Now, with the Internet came the ease of web publishing, forum messages, Instant Messaging, emails, chat rooms. Mobile phones and cellular subscriptions became cheap and affordable---in Philippines, even the household help have cell phones! Escorts could then effectively ditch the handler and go "free-lance"---just post a message in a forum or in Friendster, or lurk around chat channels---and they can immediately garner clients. Potential clients, who were probably afraid of talking to a handler, can now anonymously negotiate with an escort.

The beauty of the Internet is that, in many cases, it cuts out the middle-man. Take stock trading, for example---instead of having to go through a broker, you can purchase shares online. Need advise? Go to the web. Why buy a newspaper or a magazine to check out the latest tech gadget or find who is selling what? Go online, go to ebay, go to amazon, google your item. So need an escort companion, go online and find your match.

So naturally, all things considered equal, it is cheaper to get a free-lance escort than through a handler. How much cheaper? Unfortunately I have not discussed the specifics with my handler (obviously), but I would surmise that it would be about P1000 to P5000, depending on the cost of the escort. How is price determined? My theory is that the escort names her price and the handler adds his commission. So bypass the handler and you bypass the commission.

Does this mean that a handler can be considered "obsolete?" I don't think so. For me, there are two main reasons why you need a handler.

One, if you are going for high-class celebrity escorts, the only way you can meet them is through a handler. High-class escorts wish to remain anonymous, mainly because their main earnings do not come from the escort service, but through modeling, TV appearances, advertisements, photo shoots, and so forth. If they are labelled an "escort," it could affect their career.

And two, if you have specific needs, then a handler is your best bet. And the odds of him successfully meeting your needs go up exponentially the more you deal with the same handler. Case in point, my first experience with a specific handler ( Appetite) was---well---disasterous. Luckily, he was able to compensate by offering me another escort free of charge. He may have lost money on the short-term (I think he paid the escort himself) but he gained a loyal customer. Subsequently he hooked me up with a model and I had a fantastic night. Next, I was hoping that a specific celebrity was in the "business," but unfortunately my handler informed me that she is "no longer" in the "business" (shucks, I missed the opportunity). But he was able to hook me up with an escort that looks exactly like her.

And I guess this is one reason why, though I know I can bypass the handler and go directly to these models and high-class escorts, I don't. If I do this, then my handler will have no incentive to provide me with the same quality choices.

Got a story to tell?

Someone asked me a question of which I have no idea what the answer is. It was a valid question from an honest inquirer, so I was a little embarassed that I could not provide any sort of response.

So it hit me that the beauty of the internet is that information is free flowing, and if I am unable to answer the question, I am sure that somewhere out there I can find the answer.

In other words, I may not have experienced it all and I am sure that there are readers out there who have a story to tell that we can all benefit from that experience.

So, does anybody have a story to share?

If you do, then feel free to email your tale to buwayahman@gmail.com. After I review your story for the appropriate relevance, I will post it here and give you credit as the author.

However, just to be clear about it:

1) Your story should not be some rambling tale of debauchery meant to prove your masculine prowess. Your tale should have a point---either a "moral" (as in, "the moral of the story"), a tip, or an advise to the readers. If it is just some sex tale, don't bother.

2) If you have information on an escort, please do not send phone numbers or other information that can be considered private. If you are going to send her email address, I assume you have her blessing.

3) Please try to keep the hard-core language to a minimum. I will reserve the right to edit submissions.

I honestly don't know how this will pan out. Well, in reality, I didn't expect to be writing in this blog for a year now.

Many thanks for all your support and feedback.

Escort FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions on Escorts
Version 1.0
Jan. 9, 2006

What is an escort?

In the context of this blog, an escort is a female companion that you avail specifically for sex.

Do I have to take an escort out for a date?

Not a requirement. In fact, most escorts do not want to be seen in public with their "clients." One reason is that some escorts have boyfriends and they do not want to be seen with another man.

Where can I find escorts?

There are a variety of sources to find an escort. Check out the links in my sidebar. Sexy Escort Ads have a lot of "free-lance" escorts. Best for me is Appetite Entertainment.

From the Internet, googling "Philippine Escort" will also display a few choices.

Forums such as Manila Tonight and Mygimmick can also provide escort information.

Friendster, Hipstir, and similar sites can also provide some escort details.

Newspaper classified ads, including Buy and Sell, also provide escort information.

How do I contact them?

Contact information is normally provided, more often a mobile phone number. The person on the other end is either their handler or the escort herself.

What is the process of engaging an escort?

Ok so you have selected the escort and have the contact information. Here are the basic steps:

- You settle on a price
- You settle on a time and place
- You meet the escort at the specified time and place
- You take her to a private room (e.g., motel, apartelle, hotel)

Can I get a picture of the escort before I decide and commit?

No harm in asking for a picture but be aware that, some escorts, for whatever reason, cannot (or do not want to) provide a picture.

Can I see and meet the escort before I decide and commit?

Yes. But be warned that some escorts insist on a "cancellation" fee (which I personally find ridiculous).

Do I need a car to meet the escort?

Not a necessity as you can always hail a cab. I know of one escort who insists on being fetched in a car.

Where can I meet the escort?

Anywhere. Personally I always meet in a coffee shop, restaurant, bar, or hotel lobby as it does not attract too much attention to have a girl walk up to you.

Can I have the escort come to the motel?

Some escorts are willing, some are not. Best to ask.

How much is an escort?

Prices vary from as low as P1000 to as high as P250,000. Majority of the escorts tend to fluctuate between P3000 to P5000. Models, starlets, and celebrity types tend to start at P10,000 and then sky is the limit (most expensive I have seen is P250,000).

When do I hand over the cash?

Ideally after the deed. But most escorts want to see the cash up front. Handlers will almost always insist on seeing the cash up front.

I for one show the cash in an envelope and then I keep the envelope until after the deed is done.

What services will the escort provide?

Standard, of course, is the sex.

For anything else, it is best to clarify with the escort or the handler. If not specified, clarify the following:

- How many hours can I spend with the escort? (Typically it is 3 hours, equal to a short-time stint in a motel)

- How many pops? (Typically, it is 2 to 3 pops)

- BJ? Anal? Rimming? BBBJ? CIM? (If not essential, don't ask; if it is THAT important to you, best to clarify)

Should I bring a condom?

Yes. Some escorts do not bring a condom.

Can I take the escort out on a non-sexual date?

Some escorts are willing. Best to ask.

Can I share an escort with other men?

Unlikely. Best to ask.

I want two (or more) girls. Can I hire two (or more) escort girls?

Possible. Best to ask.

Can I take a picture or video the girl?

Very unlikely. No harm in asking.

I have a specific fetish. Can I ask the escort to help me out?

Again, if it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL for you, best to ask before you commit to meeting the escort.

If it is something that you have always wanted to experience, then hold off the request until you at least have met the escort. In many cases you will be able to judge whether the escort is open-minded enough. Another good time to ask is after the deed. Sometimes the thrill is in finding out what the girl is capable of doing. If in doubt, treat her as you would a girlfriend on your first sexual encounter---in other words, play it by ear.

Based on experience:

- Watching her play with herself: highly possible
- Watcing her play with herself with vibrator: highly possible
- Bondage: Possible if you are the one to be tied up. Unlikely if it is the girl unless you are a "regular" customer.
- Sado-Masochism: Possible if you are the receiver of the punishment. Unlikely if it is the other way around.
- Costume role-playing: highly possible (believe it or not, but an escort asked me to role-play a gardener, wearing just worn-out denim shorts, a la Desparate Housewives!)
- Golden shower/roman massage: highly unlikely

Can the escort stay overnight?

Yes. But check with the escort in terms of her availability. Be prepared to pay for more. (In my experience, it is usuallly double)

Can I take the escort out of town?

Yes. But check with the escort in terms of her availability. Be prepared to pay for more, including her flight ticket and food.

Manila Direct

Categories: escort

There have been some inquiries about Manila Direct. I have not tried any of their talents yet though I admit that, based on the pictures, there are some intriguing ones. I asked the site owner for permission to post some of the pictures, especially the talents with masked faces to protect their identity. Hope he agrees to it.

In the meantime, you can visit his web page at http://maniladirect4.bravehost.com/. You will need an ID and password to enter and see the pictures, but there are samples (with masked faces) on the logon page.

To foreigners visiting Philippines - my retort to an article in Redbook

Was going through an escort forum ((www.myredbook.com) and encountered a so-called FAQ of the Philippines. Well actually it was an article that compared Philippines to Brazil and Thailand.

Just to give some snippets:

- Philippines is rated as the cheapest

- In terms of quality, Philippines is rated last because we "don't have the asian attitude to take care of the man."

- We "rarely insist on condoms."

- In comparison, Brazil's Rio has "beaches, great food, hang gliding." Philippines (specifically Angeles City) has the worst.

After reading this, I have made one summary assessment: Americans do not know how to party in the Philippines. Please note this is my shameless opinion. If any readers out there disagree, feel free to drop me a mail or comment below.

Why do I say this? Because Angeles City always come to mind when you mention Philippines to the Americans. Historically, Angeles City was home to a U.S. base---Clark Air Base---and because of its proximity to a site that houses Americans, it is expected that go-go bars would sprout. Same situation happened in Olongapo, which was home to another U.S. base---Subic Naval Base. Old memories do die hard.

Now I've been to Clark a few months ago to fly off to Singapore. And honestly, in terms of bars and ladies, it will not hold up to the places in Metro Manila. If you don't believe me, check out the site www.balibago.com and compare the ladies with the pictures of the Pegasus babes at my Peggy Sues blog article. In fact, if you want to do an apples-to-apples comparison, Angeles City is more like Makati's P. Burgos. And, as I mentioned, P. Burgos is the "McDonald's fast food of the men's entertainment business---cheap, filling, but of low quality and questionable health."

Why don't these travelling Americans go to Metro Manila instead? My thinking is that they go to Angeles because it is cheap there. According to the the forum, a short-time tryst is $10. Overnight is $20.

And this is what I can't understand. A lot of Americans go for, as we Pinoys call them, the "exotic" ladies. They don't go for the "mestiza" types. And it probably borders around pathetic. You travel halfway around the world to get laid with ladies who, in the looks category, are not actually up to par. Either the ladies in your home town are bottom-feeders or you yourself are not exactly ranking high in the attractive category. True the article does say that we have gorgeous ladies, but please, you have not seen gorgeous if you just limit yourself to Angeles.

If you want to have adult fun, Quezon Avenue offers a much better repertoire. An alternative routine could be in the Airport Road area---food in Dampa, ladies in Air Force 1 or Starfleet, gambling in Casino Filipino. And if it is just drinks and clubbing, they can go to Greenbelt 3 or Metrowalk in Ortigas. If beaches are your thing, then visit Boracay, Palawan, or Cebu. Want a taste of history? Go to Intramuros or Corregidor. Shopping? Go to Divisoria. Worried about the costs of hotels? Based on my own experience, I was able to book an twin-room apartelle, walking distance from Makati commercial center, for $45.

MP rant: Flight 168 (updated)

I was scanning through the topics I had written and I realized that, though I have always stated that I am a fan of Flight 168, I NEVER POSTED ANYTHING ABOUT IT!

So now I would like to introduce you all to probably how a Massage Parlor should be run. If I have VIP guests from other countries, I always take them to Flight 168!

Flight 168 is the MP arm of Air Force One. It is located in Airport Road, near Dampa. Parking is quite discreet, some 100 to 200 meters away from the main road, and as such no passerby will be able to spot your vehicle. Moreover, and this aspect is something I completely took for granted, there is an HSBC ATM right beside it and even an ATM inside the MP itself.. Handy when you suddenly realize you are short in cash (remember, the MPA doesn't take credit cards for "extra service.")

Flight 168 tries to maintain an airport motif. You see clocks displaying the different time zones, people are dressed as if they are flight attendants, their rooms are numbered and categorized according to airlines (so you will see rooms named after Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific), and when an attendant is ready, you can hear someone cry out: "Number 52, ready for boarding."

The place has two levels: the "economy" section, which is at the same floor as the KTV, and the more expensive "business class" and "first class" area, which is a floor below the KTV. Both have a nice waiting area, their own viewing room, and their own selection of attendants. I have tried the "economy" section once, and I found the rooms comfortable.

But the "business class" and "first class" rooms are the kicker. You are greeted with a wide lobby that looks like the lobby of a 5-star hotel. Drinks and pastries are available. This is one of the poshiest---if not THE poshiest---MP lobby I have ever seen. Subdued lighting. Soft music. Courteous and well-dressed waiters. And they serve beer in tall glasses, although one San Mig light cost P120. They even have a foot spa!

Now the rooms are spacious. Very spacious. Almost as spacious as that of a 5-star hotel. I am not sure if the beds are either king-sized or queen-sized, but definitely not the tight single bed you see in some other MPs. Each room has their own shower and steam bath. "Business class" rooms have no jacuzzi but the "first class" rooms do have one. You have a cabinet and hangers for your clothes (some other MPs just have hooks on the wall to hang your clothes). Condiments include the standard shower, soap, bath gel, shaver, toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash, deodorant. One unique touch is that Flight 168 has aromatherapy fragrances. Plus bath robes. And you can control the ambiance of the room, from blaringly bright to a dim, cozy atmosphere just right for some "romance."

"Economy class" rooms cost P1500. "Business class" rooms cost P2500. "First class" rooms cost P3300. There is a 20% discount during promo hours of 12 noon to 6 pm.

My only complaint? You could get lost in the hallway. Fortunately the people will be able to escort you into your room and the attendant will be able to escort you out. Once I tried leaving alone and ended up in the laundry area!
