One strong reason for men to become site members is the qualified information you are getting on the legal situation in the countries I cover.

I strongly believe in a professional approach towards managing my sex life. In this context, "professional" does not mean that I turn my sex life into a profession, as prostitutes and gigolos do. "Professional" in this context means that my approach is based on sound knowledge and a clear strategy.

"Professional" also means that my approach is geared towards smooth functioning. And as such, it means that whatever I do, I stay within the law.

As good lawyers, and I, know, you can have everything you need, or want, without breaking the law. The point is, laws differ from place to place, especially when it comes to sexual behavior, and what is perfectly OK in one country can deliver you to the hangman's nose in another country.

I have no homosexual interests, but for those who do, it is important to know that a pattern of behavior that is legally protected in one country, may be outlawed and punishable in another. And laws change, and people have short memories. That a behavior had been condoned traditionally is no protection against laws that subsequently criminalize such behavior. This is especially the case for homosexual behavior and sexual contacts with relatively young partners.

In this respect, the world largely follows US American standards. And the diverse group of people who are in favor of any development that curtails US influence includes some of those who'd prefer the US kept out of their private lives.

I have respect for those who dedicate their lives to have passed more rational laws in various countries, as I do for those who oppose US influence. But I have other things to do. To contribute to a better world for future generations is not reason enough for me, to sacrifice my own. I am no hero. I am not desperate enough for that track.

I have only one life. And I have better things to do. I have my hands full trying to optimize my sexual opportunities. And my time is too valuable to waste it on lingering in an Asian jail (for a decade or so). So whatever I do, I stay within the law. And this is what I recommend to readers.

A specifically sensitive issue are age of consent matters. You can get some basic ideas on the issue from ageofconsent.com. In Arizona, the legal age of consent is 18, and in Canada, it's 14, and in the Netherlands and Spain, it's 12. Personally, I am not interested in sexual relationships with female partners who are not (yet) driven by sexual desires. But there are females of 17 years who definitely seek sexual relationships for sexual pleasure, and if such a relationship is legal in the country I live in, and with my citizenship, then I morally find nothing wrong with it.

But while you can get a basic idea from ageofconsent.com, they are basically (and dangerously) wrong on some of the countries I know best.
