It is a list negotiated amongst the EU rather than a list of countries where formal agreements have been reached.

My reading is that it is only China where the EU is requiring reciprocated access before inclusion on the list. The others probably don't have the political and economic significance. And of course if EU tourists cannot come to Thailand then they'll likely go to Spain or Greece, to the benefit of EU countries' economies.

If I understand the announcement correctly I found that requirement on reciprocity from China a little odd.

Why not a similar arrangement with Thailand which has no plans to allow access to E. U. Nationals anytime soon even those with Elite cards or retirement visa's.

You must be reading my mind.

However, it's not clear to me yet if this also means that these 15 countries allow visitors FROM the EU.

EU to allow in visitors from 15 'safe' countries. However, it's not clear to me yet if this also means that these 15 countries allow visitors FROM the EU. According to a Dutch news item they will but as far as Thailand is concerned I doubt that.

They are just naive because of their background. I think that asset should not have been divided 50/50 because the money came from the man before marriage.

I have to disagree with some particularly the 50/50 in this particular case I think the judge got it right or was being fair. I think you should go back and read the details again. They weren't married and the judge decided this was still a common-law marriage. Here is the difference I see it in cases where you are married and you decided to buy property when you are at the land office to register the deed in my particular case and many that I've been involved with the clerk ask you as a foreigner knowing full well or just in general that the money to purchase the home comes fully from the foreigner. In my particular case, I was asked this and a number of other questions I told the clerk yes the money is totally mine and sign a release giving and registering the title in her name and her son doing so I couldn't come back on it later. To some this is unusual but I did it fully knowing if something happened I was going to be crying about the money.

In this particular case with the Danish fellow, the land the house was built belong to the Thai lady or her family. The judge provided the solution that if the Thai lady wanted to contest or continue with her position it was a gift then the judge would request the house be torn down and all the material be resold which would have net them something like 900,000 baht divided 450 each Thai lady gets the money but now no house this I think the same with the Honda.

Regardless the Thai made the right choice to keep the house a roof over her head and family my favorite saying to Thais " you can't live in your car " and let the Danish have the car it all comes out in the wash at least for the judge because she owned the Land regardless if all the money came from overseas. Sure the numbers don't come out right for the Danish guy but that is the price or due you pay. In my opinion, he came out ahead knowing it now before he moves more money over to her she did him a favor.

I wasn't born yesterday I knew when I pull the trigger especially from all the books and stories I read that if things went south I wasn't going to lose a whole lot of sleep over it I wasn't spending anything that I couldn't afford to lose. Even today I have nothing in my name including the two condos that are rented out which I have a life estate on the deeds that gives me the right to live in one of them until I die. Just my two baht.

I saw the following first hand. He was 62 and she was 28 looking like 22 and HOT. He gave her 100,000 baht per month to live with him. Also 25,000 for her mother. Per month. It was the best of times and also stormy. After a particularly big storm they got married. He gave her 3. 5 million baht as a "wedding present". She told my GF "I have enough" and she left him less than 2 weeks into the marriage.

I know a similar story with basically the same amount of cash the guy paid the bar girl to be with him. But they are still married 10 years later and have three kids still living together.

Where do these people get all this money from to give away to bar girls like this? And why can't I ever find pussy that good to make me want to do something as stupid?

"Between the spring of 2019 and February 2020 when the relationship ended, the Danish man transferred a total of 5,7 mill Baht from his bank account to hers in the belief, that they would live together similar to what he saw his friend did with his Thai wife. The car cost 1. 7 mill baht. The house around 3 mill. Baht. To keep her from going back to the bar to work, he sent her 25.000 baht every month. And then there was the debt of the Thai womans mother of 200.000 baht, which he also agreed to help pay. ".

I have been on A Test regiment for 5 years. A shot every week with a estrogen tablet the next day. The clinic gives a blood test every 3 months and checks the Test level, Prostate and blood platelets. The blood test will determine the strength of the Test dosage. They try and keep my level around 950.

I've been told that the normal of a 21 year old is just below 1000. Average level of a man over 60 is 220.

I feel great and have a healthy desire for sex at my age of 74. I exercise and play golf. Ladies say I look 60, but we know that BS.

I understand lower levels mean an increased desire for sex. What about a need for Viagra or Cialis?

[Robert Long]

Update here. And you might want to back track to the original post exchanges on this if you weren't following them before and are interested in my experiences with my first testosterone treatment:

The doctor said I would probably not feel any effects from the injection for "a couple of weeks." However, it is only 1 week after my first 3-month injection and I am already experiencing more of a feeling of fullness in my balls and need to release via ejaculation on my "skip a day in between" day. LOL. And that is the start of what I was hoping to get out of this.

Before this injection, I had that feeling just fine along with all the usual feelings of hornyness, erection during sexual talk/thoughts/fantasy, foreplay, etc when I was on more of an "every other day" schedule; meaning, I would have a session, skip a day, have a session, skip a day and so on. Although I never really maintained that schedule for a full week before I wound up doing two days in a row. It was more of a preferred pattern, not maintained religiously.

However, this week my usual "skip a day" day felt no different in terms of my interest in fucking (or getting blown) and cumming than my previous session day. I might even go so far as to say both my "on" day and my supposed "off" day this week, 1 week after my first 3-month injection, had me as ramrod hard and knowing I was headed to a shattering orgasm whenever I wanted it to go, quickly or prolonged, right after penetration. That is the kind of feeling I usually only felt these days if, for whatever reason, I have skipped 2 days in a row. Rare. The feeling of absolute inevitability of a shattering orgasm any minute now and that it was my challenge and pleasure to keep fucking and delay it as long as I wanted, I mean.

I should also mention I have not upped or changed my usual 100mg Sidegra tablet about an hour before estimated time of dropping our drawers routine. I understand the testosterone treatment isn't really about producing an erection in the way a dose of Sidegra, Viagra, Cialis, etc are treatments for that. I am just mentioning that in case it is an issue at all.

All the expected caveats apply, of course. This is not a controlled laboratory experiment. It could be that I happened to be with a couple of ladies this week who I am particularly hot for and who know how to touch, kiss, lick, suck and fuck the way I respond to very well. I would say that was so. I will be seeing another one tonight. Also, I am fully open to the possibility that I am having an early psychosomatic or placebo effect response on the chance, perhaps even probability, that the injection isn't really producing as noticeable an effect as I am feeling so far. And I should also clarify that, despite what it might seem I have said about it here, the effect has not been "night and day." It is subtle. But I do feel it. And am happy about the feeling.

More updates to come if there are any other changes or effects from this over the next 2-3 months.

I've been using testosterone gel. It worked nicely for a time, but then my testosterone levels went down. I met with my urologist about 5 times over the last year. We talked about what he prescribes most often.

Gels have the advantage of easy application once a day. Disadvantages are the absorption is difficult to predict and can change over your lifetime. In USA, it can be very expensive. Think $1500-$3000 per month for heavy dose of name brand Androgel without insurance or discount. Maybe $60 per month for smaller dose of generic with good discount but no insurance. The generic is relatively recent in USA.

I forget the term he used, maybe implant. Rice size thing put under the butt skin in the doctor's office. Process is repeated every 3 months. Based on his description, it seems this is something that dissolves over 3 months.

Self injections done every 2 weeks at home. Much less expensive, in my case it is about 10%-15% the cost of generic gel.

There are other methods, but I never really considered them.

[Koalie2001]

The doctor should know better than anyone who posts on a forum, but from what I understand most testosterone esters have a half life at best of 8-10 days. One shot every three months would not seem to cut it, unless it was an incredibly large amount of test that then reached normal levels after a month or so, but that does not seem reasonable.

Exogenous test replaces testosterone created by your body. By taking test shots you accelerate the decline in production of your own testosterone. The feedback loop for hormonal control will lead to lower testes based test production when large amounts of testosterone are introduced from outside the body. Unless the amount introduced endogenously exceeds what your natural levels are, at best you will have the same level and due to shutdown of production naturally, you could end up with fluctuating and on average lower levels of testosterone, while also messing with your levels of estrogen, which can also affect sex drive.

All this is well known in the body building community. It would be good to ask your doctor about the long term effects of your own body's testosterone production when taking shots externally, especially if you are not at low levels for your age or for any age for that matter. If you don't really care about natural production, than just be prepared to inject or rub test into your body for as long as you want to feel its effects; otherwise at 50+ you will definitely need some kind of post-cycle therapy to restart your own body's test production. It would also be good to ask why inject once every three months, and why not simply use a daily rub as test via skin application also works reasonably well these days (as in Barry Bonds the gel, BALCO scandal).

Ultimately, unless test levels were really low to begin with, injections will not add much to libido, might help with muscle gain and fat loss or at least minimize fat gain; but the rest is a hope.

Exercise (weight training and cardio) is a better option to combat age, and maintain natural test levels and your libido.

Whether you want to believe the above or not, it would still be good to test the doctor with a few of these test questions.

Being Asian American, Mid 30's:

I do see a lot of this. Many Asian men are just insecure and possessive. Not sure if families care so much. All my female cousins have non-Asian husbands, but they are all pussies, so it's certainly not for their masculinity.

I personally encourage inter-racial breeding, mixed chicks are generally attractive and if not, it's still a good story. It's like eating fusion food.
