Safe Sex and Sex Related Discussions in Thailand

No legitimate place is going to sell you PrEP without an HIV test first.

You're wrong about that. Most, if not all, pharmacies in Bangkok will sell it. Only problem I had was finding one that stocked it.

[Houston Player]

I know about Pulse.

I am looking for a pharmacy where I can get PrEP without a prescription or without spending $200 at Pulse for testing I don't need.

No legitimate place is going to sell you PrEP without an HIV test first. I think that's all that is required. Less than 1000 baht at Safe Clinic in the Times Square Bulding on Sukhumvit in Bangkok. It's on the other side of Sukhumvit from Robinson at Soi 17. There are multiple sex clinics in that building including Pulse.

There are at least 3 sex clinics in The Trendy Building on Soi 13. I've never used these but my friends have. My only personal experience is with the Safe Clinic in the Times Square Building. They have testing and treatment for STI's.

Some recommend going to the Red Cross for free testing but for me it's so cheap and convienient that I use the clinics close to me.

Around 8:18 the shrink explains why we like orgasms. And I think for me it's quite true, but short of alcohol, weed or hard drugs, I do everything I can to distract my mind from thinking about the events of the work day and my terrible, asshole colleagues. It's so true for me, at this point, I'm dying to quit my job, take whatever cash I have, and fly to Thailand to fuck, so I can have me some orgasms and forget my many, many problems.

This is why we love orgasms & the nature of happiness. Sounds like a good book title no?

Anyway, the video is pretty good, goes into detail on why we're so unhappy these days. Aside from the obvious things like not having enough money *sigh*.

Re, the first part. That's not really true. You could get herpes from your first ever blowjob, or chlamydia or anything else really.

My luck held out for a long time because I was banging really sketchy, dirty street girls for years.

But then I started racking up the stds.

Most of them can be fixed with a few pills but catching herpes really messed me up.

I've had it for ten years now and I'm living in Bangkok but I'm not banging beautiful girls every day.

Because most of the time I don't feel like it. Herpes affected me in lots of ways.

Re, the second part, I hear that. It sucks to be somewhere when you know you'd be so much happier somewhere else.

That's so true Leche, I know I'd be much happier in Thailand, but getting back there seems so impossible now. I know you got the herps dude, but live like a king anyway man, live your best Thailand life for those of us that can't be there. Also you know what? I appreciate you for not fucking around too much, since you have the herps. More guys should be like you. We don't want to be passing stds around.

That being said, I can't even worry about it, cause I'm not in Thailand. Worrying about getting an std, means that you're in an environment where that can happen, sadly right now, I'm no where near a place like that. Fuck, I'd sell my soul to be in Bangkok just one more time.

I be landing in BKK in 6 days, so I only have this from online research. I think Pulse Clinic in Pattaya will provide PrEP. Pulse Clinic https://www.pulse-clinic.com/prep-in-pattaya.

Notes on the webpage say if you do not have a prescription, you can get tests there and get a supply.

Still looking for a pharmacy that sells PrEP in Pattaya without a prescription. Hell, I'll even buy in Bangkok at this point.

Exactly right. Lots of people don't get this. Especially working girl mongers and gamblers. They either don't believe or don't want to believe.

A 1 in 10,000 chance of winning doesn't mean you'll win if you play the game 10,000 times. You could play 50,000 times and never win. Or you could win on the first play.

Getting heads on a coin flip has 1 in 2 odds, but you can flip a coin 10 times in a row and get tails every time.

statistically, to get an std, you'd have to had banged hundreds of babes.

.. and that would mean I finally made it back to Thailand, and at this moment in time, I'd give anything to go back to Thailand.

Diet is a big one. Food sign arginine can triggering outbreak in foods high in lysine can help prevent them. Nuts are very high in arginine it should be avoided especially for a few years after one's initial outbreak when the body is still trying to learn how to control the virus. Sunburn is another trigger as is any type of abrasion or skin irritation near the inoculation point. So when you are engaged in action it is preferable to use a lot of lubricant, and if one uses a condom be sure to lube one's unit before putting on the condom. Stress and exhaustion can also be triggers so when on a trip minimizing alcohol use in getting enough sleep is essential. Most of the people I know who have had HSV for years had very few outbreaks as they have learned what their triggers are and also tend to recognize prodrome symptoms such as an ache in the garage, a bit of sensitivity, etc. And yes some people I know are taking acyc regularly and the good news is there are generics available in Thailand they're quite inexpensive. However if one pays attention to triggers and perhaps a supplements daily with lysine, I'm not sure constant medication is needed.

Yeah I know all that stuff. I was using Lysine for a while. It didn't seem to make any difference. And I adjusted my diet too. And I quit drinking 6 years ago. But I was still getting bad outbreaks. So I just settled in to a few years of taking acyclivor. But I've just learned about ginger being effective against the herp so I'm going to boost my use of that and try and cut the pills down a bit.

[Newton York]

Yeah I agree with the first part, even though it's somewhat morally wrong. I described my herpes earlier. It's rough. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

The only way I can live with it is to take aciclovir twice a day. In Thailand that gets (relatively) expensive.

Not to all your big rollers obviously but a few dollars a week adds up over the year.

It's weird, I find myself not too concerned about std's anymore because of my old age, but also because I can't seem to be able to get myself back Thailand to even partake in any risky behavior. Life is fucked up man. Either I got all the time in the world, but no cash. And when I have a little spare cash, I ain't got the time to fly. FML. I know it sucks for you guys out there that have the herps, but at least you got it from a worthwhile activity. It's like that quote from the movie 'Auto Focus' : "A day without sex is a day wasted".

If you're going to get the herps, at least get it from a ho. Imagine if you got it from your wife or girlfriend, because she cheated on you. That would be so much worse. And statistically, to get an std, you'd have to had banged hundreds of babes. Hundreds. Love is a battlefield, and sex is kinda too. Soldiers occasionally get shot. If we want to be the sexual heroes to other would be hobbyists, some of us have to take the hits man. I don't have the herps yet, but if I did get it, it would mean that I got it in Bangkok, and that would mean I finally made it back to Thailand, and at this moment in time, I'd give anything to go back to Thailand. I'd sell my soul if there were any takers.

Keeping HSV at bay it's different for every person. There are certain triggers that one should pay attention to. Diet is a big one. Food sign arginine can triggering outbreak in foods high in lysine can help prevent them. Nuts are very high in arginine it should be avoided especially for a few years after one's initial outbreak when the body is still trying to learn how to control the virus.

Say it ain't so, cause it's the only recourse I have for boner pills when I'm there. I can't imagine they'd change the rules so drastically in just 2 years. This is South East Asia we're talking about. There's just certain things that are done in certain ways and it never changes. Without boner pills, and now my shitty job being even shittier, I really should just kill myself. Just wish I had the guts.

Boner pills are easy to buy at pharmacies in Pattaya. I just bought a box of 50 Kamagra for 1000 baht at a pharmacy.

[TheNull1]

Thanks for the reply. I guess it will be a good idea for me to add tablets against hsv-2 to my mongering diet too then, even though it only reduces the risk by half or a bit more, like for the most other stds. Except for hiv, which fortunately now has prophylaxis that's close to 100% effective.

Its almost upsetting that HIV is even still a concern with things like PReP. Its effectiveness is in the same ballpark as condoms and nearest I can tell side effects are so rare and mild I've seen more warnings on asprin. If we got this stuff used by most people AIDs would be wiped out in a few decades.

Boner pills are easy to find in Thailand.
