[QUOTE=Fifty Pesos;1165953]This is an old case. For me the blame goes towards the Filipina for being either ignorant or ignoring the laws of her land and the Brit for being destitute, arrogant and dragging himself and family into a extortion nightmare simply because he did not take due diligence when perusing third world flesh.[/QUOTE]I wonder how many guys get on sites like this and read about an oasis of never ending pussy in a far away exotic land then get on a plane only to arrive here and get themselves killed or mixed up in some serious shit.

As for the Brit, he was just another fool in paradise. Ignorance is not always bliss. He should have known who he was impregnating and the possible consequences. Laws aside, how could he possibly think a woman that shows such utter disregard for her husband and kids truly loves him? She definitely saw getting pregnant for him as a way to a better life, family be damned! I have seen Filipinas and Koreans leave their children behind to latch on like leeches to a man offering a better deal. They always seem to trade up again once they get to the new country. These types are cold calculating and constantly scheming. Weak dicks fall easily for their shows of affection, sweet lies and easy pussy.

[QUOTE=Radical Guy; 1167229]A common theme on this board is how Filipinos are, in general, interested only in money and have no moral compass. I thought I'd pass along an experience from when I visited Davao last November.

I was in the street, which was crowded due to some parade or something going on. Lots of people were crowding and bumping into each other.

A young Filipino guy, maybe 18 or 19 years old, tapped me on the shoulder. At first, I assumed that he was just another beggar trying to hustle me. I snapped around ready to tell him to leave me alone, when I noticed that in his hand was my wallet. He said,"Sir, I think you dropped this," and handed me the wallet back.

I was amazed, because my wallet had about 20, 000 pesos in it (mostly 1, 000 peso notes). I tried to give him 1, 000 pesos as a reward, but he just smiled, said "no, it's okay" and then walked away.

People are people, some honest and some not. Nationality is irrelevant.

RG[/QUOTE]He must have been a saint! Most of the Filipinos that foreigners come into contact with are the lying cheating stealing murdering kind. One good man doesn't disprove the general trend. I have also met honest young hard working Filipinas who never asked me for a peso and who would be appalled at the thought of fucking for money or advantage. However, these are not the kind of girls sex tourists are interested in meeting. They want the mercenary ass peddlers. So, it's really a self fulfilling prophecy.

RG[/QUOTE]Why praytell would you be carrying a wallet in the Philippines? And why would you have 20, 000 php on you? Something stinks on this story. My wallet, passport, tickets, etc are always locked up safely and I take as much money as I need for where I am going or what I'm doing.

I've had cell phones, wallets and money returned to me by strangers. I've been treated, for the most part, with kindness and gentility. I disagree emphatically with those who would contend that "most" Filipinos lack any sort of moral compass. I find that most are honest, gentle people, but then I interact largely with middle class, educated, smart Filipinos.

As I've stated many times in many contexts, this is a country in which almost half the population of 95 million people live on less than $2 a day. For the very poor, who struggle to subsist and raise families, why should it be surprising that many will seize any opportunity to acquire enough money to survive for another day or another week? For them, as it would be for many of us I suspect, cadging the extra dollar or two is a matter of survival and not "national character," or intrinsic dishonesty. This is a country whose population is poorly served by a rapacious, thoroughly corrupt government and whose people, for the most part, envisage little or no hope for a better future. The average Filipino, with little education, few marketable skills and no hope of improving his / her lot in life is more deserving, I think, of sympathy than contempt.

And an occasional scam here and there doesn't get marked as immoral.

Heck, even the church encourages asking from rich.

Step out of the hooker and such area, you will see the best of every country.

Once, when my flight from Batanes came late, my hotel pickup was missing, and everybody who got out of the 30 seater plane were harassing me to get dropped off in their vehicle. And none were heading to makati. I meant, they were genuinely interested to make the detour, including a couple, who's own pickup was there, and they were heading to Tarlac, but didn't mind dropping me in Makati.

Well, if I had been wallowing in mud. I don't expect angels. Do I?

I just don't like using credit cards overseas. For emergencies and reserve, I had $5000 in Amex travelers cheques in my room safe at the Marco Polo.

We frequently get assailed with posts from guys condemning others who do not use condoms. They predict wholesale STD infection, and near certain infusion with the deadly AIDS virus.

I am not a condom user. I think that I have actually worn a condom twice in my life.

I have had a vasectomy, so impregnation is not an issue.

After each foray into asia, where all of my associations are bareback, I get completely screened for every form of STD known to man. Maybe two or three forays per year. This last one involved 21 different women.

As with every other foray, this one returned a completely clear result. Nil infection of any STD.

Even my doctor is beginning to think that maybe we are being subjected to deliberate misinformation propaganda by our respective governments.

Can you give us some information on the women you bareback? Are they bar girls, freelancer part-timers or non-pros? I find your ability to bareback so extensively and come away clean quite surprising based on reports of others catching STDs on their first trip. Do you take antibiotics during your adventures?

Most commonly people get are Chlamydia and Siphylis. Gonorrea is sympamatic in girls that there will be nasty smell. Chlamydia can be nasty smell and discharge or asymptomatic.

Hiv is possible but since you had tests done can believe you did not catch. Catching HIV is very rare unless you do risky behaviour as outlined in HIV prevention website.

Ofcourse there are many who do not use condoms regularly including myself. Most of the time they are with non-pros but few instances with working girls also.

Alcohol intake, passion of the moment etc plays a part.

Ofcourse if you take a course of strong antibiotics during and after mongering your tests will be negative. In case of siphylis even if you take antibiotics it will still show weak antibodies after three months.

There are other things you can catch which includes warts, hepatitis B and C etc.

In Thailand and Phi in perticular barebacking is very common and so is catching something.

Questions are,

1. Do you exclusively bareback only non-pros? (Not that it is safe, who knows what she did?)

2. Did you get the girl tested before you had sex every time?

3. Did you take strong antibiotics during or after your trip and waited atleast a month-three months before getting tested.

4. Did you take any antibiotics when you noticed something wrong without going to the doctor and getting tested?

Most people get tested once a year if at all. I do not thing anybody gets tested after one mongering visit. Maybe some who are married will do but they may use condoms just to be safe.

We mongers are in a risky business of catching STD. It does not have to be sex, can be DATY, DFK, BBBJ etc. Ever wonder why you get sore throat after mongering visit? Most often we attribut it to.

Change of weather, dirty third world conditions, getting drunk etc. It is very much possible that you caught some STD from a girl carrier even though you used condom.

You should be extremely lucky not to catch any STD if you are a frequent monger soliciting workin girls.

Sammon.

I think your questions are more or less subtly answered in Gangles' original post, however I am surprised at the questions themselves. Self diagnosis or self prescribing of antibiotics is fraught with potential problems and is one of the main reasons why there are now so many resistant strains of bacteria around. The other thing to note is that specific antibiotics will only treat specific types of sexually transmitted infections, so taking one type of medication before and during a visit will not in itself prevent a sexual infection and it may actually mask some of the symptoms of the infection without curing it. Some infections also display similar symptoms, so you will never be completely sure what infection you have unless you are properly examined and screened. Your post and questions seemed to imply that you find that behaviour normal, if I am wrong I apologise.

I have a feeling that Gangles' post will generate many responses and I am neither advocating barebacking nor am I against it. I would just urge caution to those guys that may be tempted to take antibiotics as a precautionary measure to prevent infections, it is not IMHO a sensible solution.

I also don't agree about the point you made that most people don't get tested after one mongering visit. I always get tested after each visit, I have regular gf's that I bareback but I am not stupid and I know that if they do it with me then they will doubtless do it with others. I try not to bareback pro's but my resolve has not always been as strong as it should have been, but I too have been lucky, never having caught anything from my trips to the Philippines.

I have a feeling this will turn out to be another one of those endless (and maybe heated) discussions that will dominate the thread over the next few days, with no clear resolution for anyone!
