  1. Did you see the link to the data sheet I posted? It's pretty much a fact. It has been studied in the West as well as Thailand. And it has nothing to do with the venue testing them, lol. It has to do with condom use. Street walkers are generally highly dysfunctional people people with sever social problems, such as drugs and often borderline homelessness. They are unemployable and often on the breadline. I mean they are selling their bodies on the streets, for God's sakes. Because of all this, condoms are generally the last thing on their minds and they don't have much bargaining power if the customer doesn't want to use a condom. This is why there is also a correlation being the price they charge and the HIV prevalence. Cheap hookers have more HIV generally. They are in a more desperate situation than a massage worker or a pole dancer, for example, and therefore take greater risks.
  2. Dating. This is not the same as one night stands. Some people should learn to read.
  3. As opposed to the non-female vagina?
  4. Do you know that more than 20% of new transmissions in Thailand are between married couples and only 1% are from commercial sex? Also, the HIV prevalence in regular women is 0.5% and in venue based sex workers it is just a little higher at 0.7% You'd think the difference would be greater, right? Fascinating. https://hivhub.ddc.moph.go.th/Download/RRTTR/Factsheet2020_ENG_Final.pdf But, yeah, the non-venue based sex workers (e.g. street walkers, like you said) are far riskier. Interestingly, bar girls were included as non-venue based (in that study you quoted).
  5. Well, she admitted having one night stands regularly. They ain't free in Thailand.
  6. Can you think of a different definition? Isn't all vibrant nightlife sleaze?
  7. Scotland invented everything.
  8. Well, sounds like the guy deserved it in this case.
  9. As oppose to drinking late at night? Not following your logic. Ive had a couple pints at 8:30am with a fish n chips before.
  10. Totally agree. Doesn't get much worse than human trafficking.
  11. I honestly can't tell SE Asians apart by their appearance. But, I can tell very quickly by their accent speaking English.
  12. You haven't noticed the higher prevalence of drug and alcohol problems? Teenage delinquency, gang violence, domestic abuse and neglect, gambling problems, drunk driving, and so on? Not to mention, teenage prostitution and young pregnancy? General family dysfunction; most kids not even being raised by their mother or father, rather a grandparent or great auntie, who generally raises all the extended family's children (kind of like an orphanage) You don't need to rely on your own observations of the last two decades of living there, many of these problems are more prevalent low socio-economic areas all over the world, as a matter of fact, actually.
  13. I didn't see anything in the article about penetration. Could you point that part out to me?
  14. All farangs are white. The word farang comes from the word Francais and Thais only use 'farang' to describe white people. But, I suppose what I was asking was, why you said white people are grumpy. Seems like a bit of a racist thing to say.
  15. Why you got to mention skin color?
  16. Look at the setting; they pretty much live in the jungle. Having spent time living in rural Thailand I can tell you, it ain't safe and there's a very high proportion of dysfunctional people. Full of typical problems in a low socio-economic place. Anyone who is thinking of moving to the boonies to stay on your teerak's village, I suggest you think twice. It looks nice, but that's all.
  17. I honestly thought you were sarcasticly joking. Haha.
  18. Do you always state the obvious?
  19. Obviously, that's why I am asking what exactly happened, duh.
  20. What exactly did he do? It says sexual assault and then calls him a rapist. Did he actually rape her or did he assault her? Quality journalism, as always.
