Question for those with vasectomy. After the Op, can I expect my cum to look, smell or taste any better? I suspect not, since Sperm would have been such a small percentage of the total volume. However web does not like to focus on these type of questions.

Would be great though, if there was a vasectomy side effect of making cum smell and taste better. Smell slightly reminds of some weak chemical like chlorine or ammonia, etc. Not exactly, but not nice.

If cum stained tissues are left lying around, the smell is certainly detectable and not desirable at all.

I was reading the web about semen phobias, and even about fear of swallowing it. I came across something that explains the bad taste. Apparently it is a metallic taste due to high quantity of Zinc. I understand that since I have Zinc supplement pills that taste real nasty metallic.

Apparently high salt intake or high zinc intake could make it taste worse quite possibly, for a girl doing CIM.

Thank you for your continued support to assist the expats and those interested in the Thai culture.

I have to put up with religious mini lectures from the Mrs. Especially Kharma and reincarnation, Ha ha. Met her in 2005. Religious stuff is only mildly interesting but can affect our mongering activities slightly.

We can see bars and MPs making offerings to the Buddha, so even hookers can be quite religious. Thais generally believe in reincarnation and whether they come back in a higher status or lower (like as a dog or insect) can depend on how good they do in this life. Being a hooker does not seem to make them think they are a bad person at all, and may still ascend to Nirvana (the ultimate without needing to be reincarnated).

I have been to a lot of temples and quite a few Thai religious ceremonies in my time, whether funerals, boys becoming a monk, religious holidays etc.

I also hear talk about spirits (souls with no living body to live in), which is not fully compatible with Buddhism as far as I can tell. We can see little spirit houses around the place. Thais generally believe in spirits or ghosts.

The best thing about Buddhism is that it is very tolerant of persons having other religions, not trying to make out every other religion is bullshit.

This topic maybe confusing so I quote two good articles.

http://www.richardbarrow.com/2016/02...d-in-thailand/

So it appears that alcohol cannot be sold on 5 Buddhist holidays, set in law since 2015 but observed before that I am sure. Hotels maybe exempt.

Also in 2 days before elections.

Also not before 11 am and not between 2 pm and 5 pm.

The last rule is supposedly to stop school children buying alcohol, but that reason is clearly nonsense. Ids of buyer can be checked.

I regularly buy a box of beer outside the official hours, but at selected local family run stores, not 7 eleven or supermarkets. There is no reason to police these stores at all.

My Mrs' uncle was sworn off alcohol for duration of rainy season Buddhist lent (similar to a Ramadan period but for Buddhists).

So yesterday no sales of alcohol but he got drunk really fast, such that even the Mrs could not understand his speech.

So sure alcohol was available. Respect for the religious event, sure some, but many people getting merry.

There are plenty of other public holidays where alcohol can be sold, so don't blame any Kings for being relevant I think.

Today is a public holiday but alcohol sales are normal.

A common problem reported in Thailand is workers get very drunk on public holidays. The day after, they are so hung over they may not show up for work.

Ow wow, look at that, I got some of those little potato looking things like Lychees too.

Weed makes no one horny and creates no sense of urgency. It creates just a cloud of grooviness.

Ever consider why you only get laid when your wife fires up? Are ya sure its because the weed makes her randy then?

When she suddenly starts wanting sex everyday, and is even asking for it (without waiting for me to take the initiative), there seems little doubt the good quality stuff is relaxing her and making want to groove and have a few orgasms, even be a wildcat briefly. So yes very sure. Low quality dried up stuff does not seem to work well at all. Without the stuff any natural horniness may be getting suppressed by control mechanisms. Alcohol loosens girls control also no doubt, but the good Ganja works better for her desires to overcome control.

I am not trying to [CodeWord123] the Mrs. , however do manage to overcome her laziness at times, without the Ganja assist. Once get the mouth on her pussy, she becomes more compliant. She hates to be undressed under my gaze too much (except for sex), for fear it will make me too horny and molest her immediately. Her body is hot.

If weed makes you crazy for food, so be it.

Those little Potato like fruits are probably Longkong (sounds like long-gong) and known as Langsat in English (other names Duku and Lanzones in Philippines), if size of large marbles. They have several white segments inside with a seed in possibly each segment. I quite like them. Not as sweet and perfumy tasting as Lamyai (Longan). Linjee (Lychee) is my favourite though if tangy. My dictionary lists Thai words Longkong and Langsat, so possible they are very slightly different varieties. Many would be aware there are a huge number of different varieties of Bananas, Thurians, Oranges, Apples, Papayas, Mangoes, etc. , most fruits. My favourite Lychee variety is called "Jakaphan", favourite Mango is called "Naam dork mai", and favourite banana is called "Nam-wa" ("LepMeuNang" also good). Names of varieties can matter for the taste. All part of learning the Thai language, so many fruit varieties and vegetables to get to know.

KeepItMoving,

Vape Pens / E-cigarettes are illegal, even for nicotine based substances, in Thailand and it is the latest source of revenue for LE "on the spot fines" from those carrying them. Carrying one with nicotine is therefore risky. Unless you are prepared to lose it and pay a couple of thousand baht into the police pension fund. Carrying one with illicit drugs, IMHO, would be just dumb. Risk of a fine + risk of worse for possession of narcotics. Is it worth it?

I believe the main reason that they are not allowed is that they breach the Government tobacco monopoly, although I have also have heard suggestions that Vape devices potential for use as a delivery medium with illicit drugs (E. G. Meth or THC as you were proposing) also plays a role in not allowing their possession, use, sale or distribution.

Smuggling anything and is about the dumbest thing you can do, unless you got a ton of money and a ton of connections to smuggle in a lot and pay the appropriate bribes.

That being said, if you know what you're doing, you can even get USA style weed in Thailand.

I live in a state in the US where recreational marijuana is legal now. Thinking about coming back to Thailand within the next few months for my 4th trip there. How bad of an idea is it to bring in a vape pen or possibly some edibles, like gummies? Though leaning towards a vape pen. In general, I've avoided all drugs on my trips through Asia, including marijuana. The penalty doesn't seem worth it. I had read recently that Thailand was venturing into the medical marijuana scene, so maybe they are starting on the road to decriminalization. I think vape pens are pretty discreet. I've flown with them domestically in the States and no one gives them a second look. So any thoughts? Major bad idea?

I regard Ganja as "horny weed", without using it myself.

Yeah, all of us Yanks who come from legal land and get the good Cali here, not the ditchweed, just run off with a woody to have sex with the first thing they see walking.

Personally, I fire up a fatty and the only thing I can do is comptemplate whether I call Gallery Pizza for delivery or just gobble on that kilo of grapes I got for 50 baht. Ow wow, look at that, I got some of those little potato looking things like Lychees too. And check it out, Pocky and a leftover hunk of sankaya. But I really want a pizza. I wonder what's on Netflix. (1 hour passes). Damn, maybe I should get a pizza, this fruit juice is matting my chest hair. I guess Ill go to Thermae. Just fire up this roach and take a shower. I should eat before showering though in case I sauce dribble. Oh, damn, look, the Watford match. OK, I'm getting a pizza. Yo Gallery dudes, ya open? What, you close at 4 am?

Weed makes no one horny and creates no sense of urgency. It creates just a cloud of grooviness. I can even laugh at Chinese in the Thermae, it makes the intolerable, tolerable. Sometimes I just follow one around, studying his interactions. I really want to interview the girl after. Hi, size? Speed? I would just be on the floor laughing. I think Ill go tonight, I have a nice bud set aside hahahahahaha.

An interesting survey on expats in thailand.

Yes it is good for a Laugh, without the data being very meaningful.

Some guys are liars about how much sex they get. If the data split between western wife, Thai partner of 2 years or less and long term Thai partner, I think the results would be more useful although small sample size.

"A quarter of people claimed that having a mistress was about companionship not sex. " I suspect some porkies here. Guys eager to secretly meet the mistress for a "conversation" or someone to listen to them crap on. Ha ha. I love listening to my Mrs talk when she is not too loud and not too repetitive (grin grin). Not so much religious talk though.

"In the under thirties only 8% thought a Mia Noi was acceptable. " Older guys much more in favour of outsourcing the sex. For most of us, a Mia Noi is not good enough. 2 or 3 Mia Nois is more like it.

"In general half of respondents said that their relationship was based on true love" Yeh maybe the guy is in love (off his head) and the Thai girl came in for economic reasons (primarily). Some guys were more realistic.

For me getting sex with the Thai Mrs. Varies incredibly. If she has a supply of good quality fresh Ganja, then I get it virtually every day. Otherwise depends on her beer assisted mood. No Ganga and no beer or other alcohol, then I have quite low chances. If my DATY was shitty, then would get even less. There is no such thing as regular for many of us. It depends! I regard Ganja as "horny weed", without using it myself.

I think one always gets a lot more sex in the first year of a relationship, and then it tapers off badly. My ex Farang wife of many years was horny only one day per month. Shitty sex too! Did not even look forward to it, in the end. A Thai wife has to be much better than that.

I see it here, Thai Friendly, Thai Cupid etc. I assume the use of 555, 5555, etc is Thai internet slang for LOL due to the pronunciation of the number 5 in Thai. Is this correct, or am I missing something else?

Yes Dog! You're on the right track. 5 in Thai is pronounced "Ha". So 555 is HaHaHa!

Have you ever tried that All Cafe coffee sold in some 7-11's? It is proper brewed coffee. I usually get a large iced Latte for 40 baht. Pretty good value compared to most of the other coffee shops. And tastes good too.

Its actually not bad coffee. Its like being back at the convenience Marts in the USA.

I'm very particular about my coffee and I like the independent shops around town. School Coffee at Chong Nonsi is good. The lady who has been down by the Chinese courtyard near Saphan Taksin for probably 10 years makes a good cup. I even like Toms and the like. The coffee in the various pastry shops in the higher end malls is usually excellent, I had a cup I think it was in the Mandarin Oriental Shop at Graysorn and it was pinky cocked 1%er great. The nice thing about Bangkok is than not matter where you are you can get a cup of solid joe. I don't go to Starbucks, not because I can't afford it, but because I don't like the company.

I like the Turkish Coffee around town, I just don't like the environment LOL.

Thais in Bangkok are generally agreeing that cost of living in Bangkok has risen very markedly in the last year or two, even buying food in plastic bags at markets sees a price rise. Exchange rates can have been getting worse also.

Prices are exactly the same since last year in areas outside the farang ghetto and tourist areas. In fact, I had some seafood in my fav seafood joint outside BKK the other day, and paid less based on market value since last spring. Its fruit season now, those 120 sticky rice minis you see in farangland are twice the size at half the price outside, those piles of Sukhumit Langsads at 500 B a kilo are 20 baht a kilo in my area and street meals are still less than 50 b where I'm at.

Tourist prices are increasing because that's the Thai way, less demand, raise the price. Hotel prices are falling a bit.

BTW, if you tourists like a nice little street market, Artbox is across from Thermae. They have Sunrise Tacos there, some Taiwan Tacos, smoothies and the like. Some of the food there is reasonably priced for the area. Its Golden Week though, prices will rise LOL.

Fortunately can still get a coffee for 55 Baht in some coffee shops? Why pay Starbucks prices (for the Hiso Thais). Because I drink so much coffee, I prefer to make my own even in a Hotel room.
