A Reasonable, Logical, and Well Written Piece To Think On
My intention is not to insert myself into this discussion between the two contributors, but only to add that it is satisfying to read Traveler's contributions in here, because they seem always to be reasonable and well considered by him. I, too, am quite nervous and jerky about the thought of going bareback with strangers, and it should be for them, too. Yes, it feels much better, but consider the guilt and fear you must deal with for months, years to come should you inherit some disease. One of three things will occur. 1.) Future sex WILL/SHOULD be done with a condom if you are infected, so then you'll have to forgo the full pleasure anyway. 2.) You will knowingly infect others. 3.) You will be forced to abstain. Use a condom.

More Airport News and a Scan of the report
The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has questioned the readiness of Suvarnabhumi airport for its official opening on Sept 28.
The ICAO report, based on its information collected and observations made between last month and early this month, identifies 29 high-risk areas - or about one-third of the 93 items on its checklist.
Forty-three are rated as medium-risk and the rest low-risk.
It defines a high-risk item as one which "will most probably not be possible to resolve" before the opening date and could delay the opening plan.
Its report, sent to Airports of Thailand Plc (AoT), a copy of which was obtained by the Bangkok Post, was leaked to the press yesterday ahead of key landing and operation tests for local flights set for tomorrow .
However, Suvarnabhumi airport general manager Somchai Sawasdeepon and caretaker Deputy Transport Minister Chainant Charoensiri yesterday confirmed the readiness of tomorrow's tests when Thai Airways International, Bangkok Airways, Thai AirAsia, One-Two-Go Airlines, Nok Air, and PB Air will service 20 local flights in and out of the new international airport in Samut Prakan's Bang Phli district.
"Everything is ready [for the test flights]," Mr Somchai said.
AoT president Chotisak Asapaviriya refused to comment on the ICAO report, saying he had not seen it yet. Some people were trying to derail attempts to open the 155-billion-baht airport for commercial flights in September, he said.
The group's tactics included releasing false or fabricated information to serve their purpose, said the chief of AoT, an agency under the Transport Ministry overseeing international airports, including Suvarnabhumi.
Mr Somchai and Aviation Department chief Chaisak Angkasuwan said the ICAO report was an internal document used by airport officials to check on the progress of the project.
Both were confident that all problems identified by the United Nations-affiliated agency responsible for airport safety and security would be fixed in time for the official opening.
The report was made by the ICAO for AoT to check-list problems that need to be corrected, Mr Somchai said.
"It's like a warning for us to know which areas need to be improved.
"None of the listed problems are new.
"The report comes out every month for us to evaluate progress, and alert us to emergency issues," he said.
The airport agency also hired an independent firm, FAEZA, to double-check the readiness of all systems, said the Suvarnabhumi airport chief.
Outgoing Senator Chirmsak Pinthong said he was worried about the risks mentioned in the ICAO report, especially with landings taking place at the 155-billion-baht airport tomorrow.
He saw tomorrow's tests as events designed to boost the image of caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
He called on Mr Thaksin to take responsibility should any accident occur after all flight operations, both domestic and international, are moved from Don Muang to the new airport on Sept 28.
Among the high-risk items identified by the ICAO in its report are the "airfield visual aides" including taxiway, apron and airside road signs, lights and markings.
Failure to address them could lead to unsafe ground operations which "may contribute to an aircraft incident or accident", the report says.
Other identified risks outside the airport's terminal include a high antenna tower at the King Mongkut Institute of Technology's Lat Krabang campus which, the report says, could pose safety risks for planes approaching a runway, inadequate lighting for illuminating obstacles around the airport, insufficient safe areas at runway extremities, and the lack of an effective wildlife hazard control programme.
The institute's tower should be lowered and safe areas at runway ends expanded, according to the report.
Problems inside the building were identified as the baggage handling system and preparations for emergency situations, especially the fire alarm system.
Suvarnabhumi is being run under a temporary certificate issued by the Aviation Department.
It needs a permanent one approved by the ICAO for the Sept 28 opening.
Beware of the RED Condom???
I've had an interesting couple of experiences I'd like to share and get some feedback. Twice in the last 2 months or so, I've encountered a RED condom at 2 different establishments in Chiang Mai. My sexy provider supplied a strawberry condom that I thought was kind of cool. At first. We started the deed, then as I withdrew my dick to slap it around some on her pussy, I noticed my hand was stained a bit red. Yup, she was on her period! The first time, I thought this was a one-time "woops" by my provider. However, yesterday, it happened again. She happened to supply me with another RED condom. She sat on me for awhile, then as I rotated up on top of her, I pulled out for a sec. Then as I reinserted myself, I noticed some red on my hand. Once again, she was on her period. It kind of freaks me out to see the blood for obvious reasons. I immediately got up and washed up. The girl was very apologetic, but then the RED condom has my suspicions.
Here's my suspicion -- Either they know they are very close to having their period so they use a RED condom as a "just in case" -- or, they know full well they are on their period and try to get a quickie in hoping I don't notice. Either way, they purposely use a RED condom for deception.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
English squire murdered by BG and accomplices

english squire murdered, then burned
petchaburi (the nation): an english country squire was killed and his body burnt on a charcoal fire after he divorced his thai wife because of her gambling debts.
after being burned, the body of toby charnaud, 41, was then dismembered and parts rep001tered in kaeng krachan national park, a court in phetchaburi was told on monday.
charnaud had sold latimer farm near chippenham in wiltshire, after falling in love with a bargirl in bangkok. he went to live in hua hin, where he bought two bars to run with his new wife, pannada.
but after he took pannada home to visit his parents in britain, the marriage began to fall apart. charnaud eventually divorced pannada because of her gambling debts, giving her a 777,000-baht settlement. they shared custody of their five-year-old son.
in april last year pannada, 35, reported charnaud missing to police, but in court on monday she admitted she had lied; on march 27 last year she had in fact helped five relatives and friends from her home province of yasothon in the northeast to dispose of his body.
pannada denied premeditated murder and being an accomplice to murder but boontin puipong, sattri sripatum and nipit satabut admitted murder with provocation. they have said they were provoked because charnaud had interrupted them while they were drinking whisky.
pannada said, “i was at the market and returned home to find my ex-husband dead.”
all four were also charged with possessing a gun in a public place, deceiving police, and concealing the body.
two other defendants, somsak papai and wisan samaksri, denied all charges. their only involvement, they said, was that they moved charnaud’s car after the murder.
in britain, after charnaud was reported missing, his sister hannah allen and his parents, jeremy, 67, and sarah, 65, became suspicious. they hired a thailand-based scottish private detective, who checked mobile-phone records and discovered that toby had been at his ex-wife’s house on the day he supposedly disappeared.
when police raided the house, two of the defendants confessed and led police to where they had dumped the body parts.
toby charnaud had arrived to visit his five-year-old son daniel, phetchaburi provincial court was told. at first the relatives and friends of pannada tried to kill him with a long-barrelled hunting musket but it misfired. they then clubbed him to death with an iron bar and wooden staves.
they burned his body on a charcoal fire, using 20 kilograms of charcoal they had bought earlier in the day. they then cut up the charred body and distributing the parts around kaeng krachan national park on the thai-burma border.
the charnaud family’s lawyer, boonchu yensabai, who is jointly prosecuting the defendants said: “the only motive can be that pannada expected to inherit everything through their son. if she is acquitted of conspiracy to murder, we will appeal.”
in a letter to the court, mrs sarah charnaud said: “for me, his mother, one of the worst horrors of his death is the fact that the first attempt to kill him failed and he would have been aware of his murderers making their fatal attack. his fear and concern for his son would have been overwhelming.
“toby was a wonderful father to his son and it is so unfair that a small boy has been deprived of a great father and a father has been deprived of seeing his son grow up.
“ it is difficult to come to terms with the fact that this woman was behind the murder of the father of her child.
“i trust the court will judge fairly and also understand that i cannot be there to hear the defence downgrade the value of human life and to hear more details of my son’s horrific death.”
gentleman farmer toby charnaud predicted his own death in a short story competition organized by a magazine in bangkok, his sister hannah allen believes.
the story, entitled rainfall, is about a british man called guy who falls in love with a thai woman and whose life then falls apart.
she does not come home at nights. she builds up gambling debts. eventually he is murdered by his best thai friend, who – though guy does not know this – is one of his wife’s lovers.
the story won first prize.
said his mother, “the story is eerie. i am sure he had his suspicions.”
the case was adjourned until september 6.
