Despite what the Buddhists say, I think you only live once, and I'm determined to live live live until I die. And that includes sex."<BR/><BR/>A wonderful post Will, thank you.<BR/><BR/>The 'fat farang sex tourist' is such an easy target, isn't he? Many people are always ready to condemn without ever trying to see the background story or know anything about the people involved.<BR/><BR/>As someone who has spent a good deal of time in Thailand and is still getting over a seven year marriage to a Thai woman, I know that what may appear to some to be a sordid economic realtionship involving the oppression of the weaker partner is often nothing like that at all. And I know that you, Will, will surely be treating the people you encounter with respect and kindness.<BR/><BR/>Because, if one doesn't make a real effort on that front, there is a danger that one does indeed become what you are not - a sex tourist who simply pays to use another person's body for the satisfaction of their own short-term physical/pschological desires. It is a slippery slope and there are very few men in Thailand - I know - that haven't spent at least a little time sliding down it.<BR/><BR/>However, I'm sure you can avoid this negative cycle of cynicism and justifications and I hope and pray, Will, that you find real satisfaction soon.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you happiness, but, most importantly, also peace,<BR/><BR/>MarcusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26177615.post-89051777523226073902007-10-25T14:41:00.000+07:002007-10-25T14:41:00.000+07:00for a wise man, you sure do like chasing the fleet...for a wise man, you sure do like chasing the fleeting.Patiwathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425579709743708545noreply@blogger.com
