Safe Sex and Sex Related Discussions in Thailand

There's any number of side effects for any kind of medication, they have to list it out after all. I wouldn't be too concerned about it, the odds are pretty low you'd be affected by it too bad. A free doctor? Dude, by all means just tell him or ask him anything. Why be shy? I know Prep is an HIV thing, but going bareback, there's still all the other STDs though.

Yeah I'm still considering it. Prep might lead to risk taking in other ways. I mean if you are afraid of HIV it might stop you from taking some risks going bareback all the time. I don't like condoms but I can still pass everything if the risk seems to high. With prep it might be different as there is no real fear of HIV. And so many antibiotic resistant bacteria that are not nice like gonorrhea. That in a sense might be even worse than HIV, which can be treated well these days. Better just limit the bareback action to the minimum. Only with "safe" girls. Of course you will never know and be able to tell by looking at someone or her status but it might help reduce the risk anyway. And I care about other people so I don't want to pass anything to someone else, to a perfectly healthy girl if I bareback someome "good girl" later. Prep doesn't do any good for that. So many other nasty stuff to catch still out there. And now there also seem to be very thin 0.03 mm plastic condoms in bigger size 56-58 mm, which might be okay.

Those who have tried Prep how were the side effects? On the internet it says there can be vomiting and diarrhea etc. Very big list. When I'm traveling in Asia I don't want to be shitting my pants.

What are the requirements for starting Prep? Only a negative HIV test? Or do you have to test the liver functions and is Prep hard on liver? If I do an HIV test in Europe before traveling to Bangkok or Pattaya is it easy to get prep there somewhere? Or should I talk about it to my doctor here In Europe? I have a free company doctor I know well but just feel shy to tell him that I might need Prep as I'm traveling on a sex vacation in Thailand and I don't like condoms.

Hey, as I'm still somewhat young, I plan to use a condom for everything. Are there any other precautions I should do like vaccines or antiviral condoms? Yes I read the forum just seeing if I should do anything else besides using condoms for everything.

HPV vaccine.

Yeah, well my symptoms are so bad that I don't want to subject anyone else to it.

I hate condoms but if the woman does her job properly it's not an issue. I had an amazing time with a BKKline woman this week.

Why can't you make it back to Thailand?

Well, it's mainly financial reasons. Kinda in a limbo situation now at work. Hate it but can't leave it, at least not yet. Everyone around me hates me, but management really likes me. It's all weird.

You're a rare kind of a guy Leche, I give you props for thinking of the next guy. Especially in this hobby of ours. More dudes should be like you, that way we'd have std's under control. But plenty of dudes out there going raw all the time even knowing they have the herps.

[LecheAlot]

I appreciate you for not fucking around too much, since you have the herps.

I'd sell my soul to be in Bangkok just one more time.

Anyone know a pharmacy that has PrEP in stock and sells it without a prescription?

Please don't refer me to the Pulse Clinic.

First time I bought it at a somewhat larger non-chain pharmacy somewhere between Nana and Asoke BTS, on the same side as Terminal 21 is. Called South East Asia Pharmacy I think (or something like that, east, asia, pharmacy). Got the impression they usually have it in stock, as that's where some other pharmacy recommended I try after I'd tried 3-4 others without luck.

If you go to https://pribta-tangerine.com/ and buy the two-three extra packs you are allowed to buy at one time, their lower cost for the medicine will make their included test for liver function, hiv, and other stds, in practise be free compared to the higher cost per pack at regular pharmacies, so that's where I went the next time.

[Explorer8939]

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.

Exactly. Any mom and pop pharmacy in Thailand will sell you anything you want as long as you have the cash, and they prefer cash. Unless things have changed dramatically in the last few years, anyne should be able to get anything from them, not just boner pills. Although for me back then, it was just boner pills. Man, got to love that sidegra. Also, it's about whether they have what you're looking for in stock. If they ain't got kamagra, then maybe they might cialis, and so on. Got to love them Thailand pharmacies.

NOT the brand name pharmacies in malls, they want prescriptions in there. I mean, if you've been anywhere in South East Asia, you'll know it when you see it, mom and pop type pharmacies. They are never in a mall, usually in a small store by the main road. You'll find plenty along Sukhumvit road.

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

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*.

[Newton York]

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.
