General Info

And that is the issue, exactly. What are the risks? If you engage in unprotected sex, what is the risk of death? What is the risk of catching a disease that is curable with a couple of pills?

Is it 1:100, 1:1, 000, 000, 1:100, 000, 000. Unless you know this, you cannot make an informed judgement as to whether to take the risk.

Everybody takes risks every day, but they accept the risk and get on with life. The most dangerous place for any western person is in their kitchen. The kitchen carries a relatively high risk of death or injury. But people accept the risk.

If you did the research that I suggested, and you found that the risk of death through driving a car was higher than the risk of death through HIV infection, would you stop driving your car? I would guess your answer would be no. That is, you accept the risk of death through driving. And you know that thousands of people die in vehicle accidents every year on the roads.

So if the risk of death through HIV is lower than the risk of death through driving, why would you still insist on condoms? The reason why is that you have been fed a lot of propaganda created by governments to frighten people into a particular form of behaviour. You said it yourself. Anyone who is cognizant of the risks.

When I post the figures, I am providing you with some hard evidence by which you can make your own assessments of the risk. This is true, hard, field data. It is very hard to get this from government sources, because they do not want you to know. Another research project you could do is to go back through every photo posted on ISG that shows male penis in or close to female vagina or anus. Count all photos, and also count the number of photos in which the penis is bareback. That would give you some indication of the degree of risk assumed by the ISG community as a whole. If you do this, please publish the numbers. It would be a very interesting research project.

For example, the Australian government annually publishes figures for new HIV infections per year in Australia. It is usually about 1100. Sounds pretty frightening. But if you can drill down through the numbers, when the number of infections from homosexual sex is deducted, then the numbers of infections through intravenous drug use are deducted, it drops to 5. That is, about 5 persons per year are infected with HIV from heterosexual sex. There are roughly 120, 000, 000 heterosexual acts in Australia between couples of sexually active age in Australia. So the risk of contracting HIV through heterosexual sex is about 5:120, 000, 000, or about 1 in 24, 000, 000 f*cks.

That is a very low risk. If that level of risk is intolerable to you, then you would never get out of bed, never drive your car, never go into your kitchen. And remember that is the rate of HIV infection, not the rate of death through HIV. But our government implements a dishonest fear campaign to stop all persons from sex without a condom.

My doctor says to me that he is OK to sex his wife without a condom because he is married. I remind him that about 50% of married women have sex outside marriage in Australia, so there is a likelihood that your wife may contract a disease that way. He knows that I am right, so we start talking about something else.

What do you think?

Happy mongering,

[QUOTE=Cunning Stunt;1319582]Why should I want to do that? I'm not a barebacker. I take all reasonable prophylactic precautions when indulging in P4P sex. I know that there is some nasty shit out there and with the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, its getting nastier by the day. It is my personal opinion that anyone who is cognizant of the risks but still insistent on uncovered sex with prostitutes is borderline insane and a danger to themselves and others.[/QUOTE]

I'm posting this here since I don't know which forum is appropriate.

So I was on FilipinoCupid, and found a real hottie on there. In my experience, these hotties are usually fake profiles.

However, I hit her up anyway and asked if she'd be up for a one night stand. She gave me her Facebook info. And told me to add her, which I did. We chatted for a bit on Facebook, and then she asked if I have Skype. So we started Skyping.

Eventually, she gets really dirty and says she wants to masturbate. I tell her to go ahead, and she turns on her cam, and surprisingly, it's the same girl from the photos! Or at least, someone who looks just about the same. Same fine body with nice tits and all. So she starts masturbating and I'm thinking "is this for real?"

Eventually she stops and asks me to pull out my dick. I tell her no, that I'll show it to her in person. She was so insistent on seeing it and wouldn't let it go. Eventually after about 30 minutes, she let it go, and said she'd still meet me in person.

Now. What's the deal here? Was she waiting to get a screen shot and try to blackmail me? Anyone know of anything like this? Is it possible her masturbation was a pre-recorded video she was feeding to me through Skype?

Hmm.

Has she got your real name? Are you married and she know it and how to contact your wife? Really don't see how she can blackmail you.

PM me her YM handle and I'll check her out for you..lol.

Think you missed a horny babe on the cusp there mate. Chance might not come again.

Or did you dream the whole thing?

Hmm.[/QUOTE]Never ever get naked on cam for a girl you haven't met in person. Scammer sites on occasion get firsthand reports from gents who are being blackmailed. You have cam-sex with her, and she suddenly wants $500 / month to not show the video of you to your FB friends or wife. Cam sex can be fun, but only amongst friends (you don't have any friends among your chatmates whom you haven't fucked-and-photo'd yourself). If only one guy a year writes into those sites to tell his story, bunches of other guys are too afraid to tell their similar story. Meet her and have fun, but don't show your face / dick on cam at the same time.

Do tell me you didn't Byung? It takes a few minutes to create an entirely fictitious email and fb account and then you can get wheel out the heavy artillery on cam to your hearts desire!

Hey guys,

I've to the Philippines several times but I usually fly with major airlines. On my next trip over, I'll be going on a little mini trip while in the Philippines and was wondering if any of you guys have had positive or negative experiences with Cebu Air, Jetstar and SeAir Airlines? Any and all experiences and info will be helpful and greatly appreciated!

Thanks again!

Thanks again![/QUOTE]I have no problems recomending Ceby Pacific Airlines (major LCC airline in the phillipines). Relatively new fleet with Airbuses (A319 and A320). And some ATR42/72 for short domestic flights. I flew with them from Kuala Lumpur to Manila and from Manila to Bangkok without any hazzle whatsoever. It is also cheap and my flights were also on time (both departures and arrivals). In my mind this airline is better than many major airlines I have flown with. NB! If you have rather long legs you can early in your online bookingprocess by yourself a seat by the emergency exits. That is cheap and you have nice space for your feet.

So thumbs up for Cebu Pacific. No I am not involved in the company whatsoever.

Thanks again![/QUOTE]Has been plenty of discussion on this before YG.

Depends who you speak is the short answer. I have flown all three you mentioned as well as PAL and AirPhil Express. I tend to use Cebu Pac as I like it (others hate it). SEAir is OK also and has recently been acquired by Tiger (I think?). Well 40% shareholding.

I find Jetstar has slightly more roomy and comfortable seats big guys like me but YMMV.

And it depends on your destination and times you want to fly the budget airlines. Watch out for baggage charges also and excess at the airport. It all adds up if you don't pay attention when booking

I appreciate your ideas, experiences and reviews. I just want to make sure I get from point A to point B. Proabably my only concern. I also wouldn't mind avoiding Delays. I'm trying to go to Hong Kong or Thailand in October. If not, I can do my 2 weeks in Manilla and Angeles.

Thanks again![/QUOTE]If I have to rank them:

1. JETSTAR. Quantas budget airline and with AIRASIA probably the best budget airline in asia if not the world. Roomier, much more on time then the other 2 (by FAR) , and good planes and service.

2. Cebu Pac. Usually ok but boy when the fuck things up nothing can fix it. I have had my luggage lost, being put on a plane that lended in a different airport then they expected me to seat in a packed bus for hour and a half to get to my destination. They gave me free flights to compensate but thats not the point. Out of around 30 flights with them I would say 20% have had delays or been somewhat problematic.

3. SEAIR. Code sharing with Tiger. They once changed my flight from 8am to 5am and didn't notify me. I had conecting flights to europe and had a bad feeling the day before so after getting to my room I checked the tiger website and freaked out when I saw my flight was not on it. On the end the hotel staff figured it out once the spoke to the airport and I had 3 people helping me pack to catch the flight. They also have small shitty planes compared to the other 2.

Where can I get a lead on a reliable tour service

[QUOTE=Tony Knight;1323407]Where can I get a lead on a reliable tour service[/QUOTE]I keep in touch with a travel agent, well, two actually. One in high end. Including arranging golf tours, and the second, not so expensive.

If you are starved for options, I can refer them to you.

What is your itinerary? If not much, you could actually DIY.

What do you mean?
