Joe:
Thanks for your kind words! I don't want to leave but this is driving me nuts.

This problem started when I already had cookies set at No-No, I put it to No-Yes to see if improved things,...

yes, statutory [CodeWord123] charges against a 16-year-old with a 15-year-old girlfriend are an abomination. we get this sometimes here, and it results in huge public pressure on the prosecution...

Terry:
LOL! Mountains and prostitutes. Good combination. Some dangers, but you know where you are with them, and get healthy exercise and some great views…. I know Switzerland a little. News to me...

Dinghy:
Dead right, I don't have active scripting enabled. Or Windows scripting host, or activeX, or Java. Just call me the Bunker :-)
Oh well, I'll have to live with multiple long-in and posting...

terry:
although i agree with joe on the relationship between amateur sex, prostitution and [CodeWord123], i know what you mean about punting breaking down shame and insecurity; i think you might...

Dear Jackson,
I’m still encountering malfunctions in logging in and posting. There are two syndromes: the one, I log in, the system says it accepts and welcomes me, I submit, then the control panel...

Terry:
My sympathies; I get around that by writing in Word offline, logging on, logging in, and pasting. I understand your position on lack of good sex leading to lack of love and perhaps thence to...

i’m totally with terry about punting being a cure for sexual shame, but despite the possibility that we have suffered from the same kind of damage, i don’t feel as vindictive as he does; and agree...

To Joe:
Thanks! Sounds as if ILY is Thai shorthand for a certain sort of strategic alliance that, like the best alliances, is of benefit to both sides. Some cultures, including I believe the Judaism...

To Joe:
What does “Let’s take care of each other” actually mean in the Thailand sex scene? Being as nice as we can to one another as long as the ships are within hailing distance? Do you know how...

To RN:
Only an Australian would perceive Joe and I as living in the same time zone! J

You’re right about Juliet! She doesn’t want to register herself, but if I cut and paste the conversation into...

Counterfeit money – or Pokemon cards, where kids can have fun collecting and comparing the variants, but can be conned into believing that cards have an objective dollar value (i.e., independently of...

Well, I’m not Julio but I have been in Madrid this spring, and have to report that either the online Relax guide to which Cupido Morboso drew our attention is not entirely reliable or else I’m dumber...

To Joe:
I agree that we’re all bozos on this bus, and the corresponding male error is perhaps to assume that a woman doesn’t love us if she’s not jumping into bed. I don’t make that one myself,...

The Granados number is 66, not 77

To November:
Yes I have, and the proposal died the death. It was the club Yab Yum, which most punters on the old archive described as a rip-off. I asked the airport information desk about it (don't...

Juliet puts in her two cents:
"Attention, affection, companionship, validation, etc. I think people sometimes pretend it's all about money or sex because
they're afraid to admit that they long for...

To Joe:
Another great essay!

I’m neither a happy nor a mean drunk, alcohol in quantity makes me sleepy or maudlin – but I understand what you say about “being around the sex industry” making you...

To RN:

"Youth is wasted on the young."
-- George Bernard Shaw :-)

You obviously like to build others up, a nurturer. Isn't it depressing how many people seem to think that there is only a...

To Joe:
Interesting question, high pockets. What comes to mind first is this: I spent my formative years in a succession of unilateral loves (maybe I should have picked Dante for my handle instead)...

PS -- meant to show that "wh*r*houses" was the writer's word not mine, but was having big problems getting post through and it used an earlier version.

Great that you're alive and well and housed and OK, RN -- pity you don't have a dog, but you can't have everything! Good to see Fedup, too.

This reminds me of the way they say women who live...

Aha, a new category, for a truly wonderful city from the history point of view!

The only place I ever found is Bataneros 8. That's an alley in the warren of the old city north-east of the...

to joe:
i mailed her with a brief note asking if she's ok, haven't heard back. funny thing, dickhead and terry also disappeared at the same time, i was wondering where the party was......

really?...

To JohnJ:

I'm a "regular" at Ria's, relative to opportunity -- which means I go there whenever I'm in the country. Last time I had a three-hour plane change and still made it there and back!

I...
