If you eat well the liklihood of disease decreases.

How to eat well is one of the most controversial and hotly debated subjects on the planet with little consensus about what is best to eat. You only get one try at it. Try your best, but unless you die from some accident, you'll get disease and die from it.

I eat foods recommended by researchers that studies have shown help prevent those killers - Heart disease, diabetes/obesity, Alzheimer's, cancer and stroke.

It doesn't matter what you eat, the likelihood that some disease will kill you between the age of 70 and 100 is very high. You've listed the diseases that kill most people. At this point, there is no cure for old age and death.

I think you are confused. You haven't asked me anything.

My apologies. You were referring to my reply to another member.

My current girl has a job and has always supported herself. It's early and we are not living together.

Why not? You might do the same there with a poor refugee. 

I don't know where you come from, but in Australia, young, good-looking refugee females won't be hard up for company and will not be poor with lots of government support.

Strange that you deflected the question by referring to your ex, rather than your current.

You didn't answer my question either - is this an inquisition?

Boring those relationships when you can't communicate, it will get better though if it survives long enough

But I can communicate. Ten years ago, it would have been impossible, but with modern technology, it's not very difficult. The conversation mode of the Google Translate App is pretty good as long as you choose your words carefully. Even if you find an English-speaking Thai girl, it's likely only conversational English, so to get into a deeper conversation, you'll need a translator.

That's ridiculous! Do you think the Trump campaign couldn't afford to buy and paint a brand-new garbage truck overnight?

The doctors love all of us here or back home due to the regular and frequent STD checks that bring them good money.

I've only had one STD check in Thailand, in 20 years... recently my new girlfriend insisted on it. 

There's no need to see a doctor. Clinics have an assortment of packages if you feel you're at risk. Mine cost 700 baht, so no one became rich from it.

Great...how much do you pay for that if we may enquire please thank you.

Nothing - we worked in a business together for 20 years. We bought real estate and made money. How about you? Are you paying your old lady to stay with you?

I seem to be one of the few with nothing against western women. Women from anywhere can be problematic. 

It's irrelevant what you think of Western women. What counts is what Western women will think of me, at age 65. I spent 20 years with a woman 30 years my junior, and her replacement is 40 years my junior. That's not happening back at home.

A mate of mine is aged in 40s. He told me an 18 year old is interested in him. In western countries I think this is not a problem. But here I wasn't sure. I told him I thought it was 20 years old. 

 

If he got involved with this girl and it went pear shaped is he in a spot of bother? He has checked her id card. She is 100% 18 yrs old. 

 

Not interested in moral opinions, only legal. 

So you're talking about yourself and pretending it's a mate of yours with the problem. Don't be shy as this is an anonymous forum.

There's no problem with 18 legally, irrespective of the man's age.

You are focusing on the negative and perhaps looking in the wrong places. If you find someone who speaks English, she's likely been on the carousel. Maybe you need to speak Thai.

For what are you looking? Sex or a lifelong partner?

My girlfriend speaks no English and I speak no Thai. We conduct our relationship entirely through the Google Translator App. One month in it's going really well. Slowly I'm learning some Thai and she's learning English. There are many gems out there who have never worked in a bar or been near a foreigner. It just requires some patience and the Google translator app.

Well, let’s just cut to the chase—getting older isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. There’s the inevitable grey hair, the mysterious aches and pains, and, let’s face it, some truly annoying changes on the “personal health” front. I’m talking about a certain lack of enthusiasm below the belt. Once you hit 50, it’s like a switch flips, and suddenly your body decides it’s gonna make things more difficult in the bedroom. For most of my life, I didn’t give a second thought to, let’s call it, “rising to the occasion.” But now? Let’s just say that even when I’m mentally ready, my body’s got other plans.

 

I’ve tried every “natural” suggestion out there—believe me, I’ve done my research. Eating clean, quitting caffeine, working out regularly. They say “get more sleep,” but try telling that to the never-ending to-do list waiting every morning. I’ve loaded up on leafy greens, upped my water intake, and even swapped out some old habits for new, healthier ones. I’ve even gotten into meditation, trying to manage stress levels. But when it comes down to it, no matter how many vegetables I eat or how many squats I do, the problem persists.

 

And let’s talk about supplements. I’ve probably spent a small fortune on everything from ginseng to maca root, L-arginine to zinc. If it’s sold as a “natural” performance booster, it’s probably sitting somewhere in my drawer right now. But here’s the reality: it’s just not working. I’ve tried powders, pills, smoothies, and shakes—anything that promised even a glimmer of hope. All I got was stack full of bottles and a lingering sense of defeat.

 

Now, being in Thailand, let’s just say there’s no shortage of… commercial options. I’ve tried visiting a few of the top spots and, let’s be real, the experience is enough to leave anyone starry-eyed. Even had a go with a few young, eager hands-on assistants who are pretty dedicated to the “art” of service, and, yes, sometimes with more than one helping at a time. But here’s the thing—even with all that charm, dedication, and sheer effort in the mix, the results haven’t exactly changed much. Sure, it’s enjoyable and exciting, but my body just isn’t playing along the way it used to. If anything, it only adds to the frustration, knowing the mind’s all there, but the engine just won’t fire up like it once did.

 

Of course, there’s always the pharmaceutical route. But the idea of taking potentially risky meds doesn’t sit well with me. We’ve all seen the lists of side effects, and they’re no joke: headaches, dizziness, stomach issues and other health risks in general. Not exactly the kind of excitement I’m looking to add to my day. And, let’s be real—once you start down that path, is there any going back? I don’t want to be dependent on a prescription just to function normally, let alone to feel more confident.

 

So here I am, wondering if there’s some magic solution I haven’t stumbled across yet or if I just have to accept this as part of the new normal. It’s humbling, no doubt. And it’s frustrating beyond belief. But I’m also hoping there’s someone out there with some real advice—because, at this point, I’ll take any tips that don’t involve side effects or miracle powders. Hoping there are other people out there with wisdom who are on the same page.

I would suggest your problems are caused by the following:

1. Lack of sleep. You need an erection for around 4 hours every night to keep the penile tissue healthy. The blood flows only when it is erect. I'm 65 and my erectile function declined significantly in the last few years due to lack of sleep.

2. Low testosterone. I suggest you look into TRT to normalize your testosterone levels.

3. Performance anxiety. This is a huge problem to circumvent. You need a very patient partner who turns you on. If you don't know the girl, you're likely to worry too much about your inability to perform.

4. Start a low daily dose of Tadalafil. 2.5 or 5mg per day. Forget all the stories about these drugs being dangerous. All I get is a bit of heartburn if I take it on an empty stomach.  I use 5mg per day and take 10mg an hour before action.

My 26-year-old girlfriend is more than satisfied with my performance.

Pledging loyalty to Thailand, does that still mean you have to stand up and sing the Thai national athame and that other Thai song.

Of course, a stupid question.

You don't have to, but it is highly recommended unless you want to serve a lengthy prison sentence. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are a citizen or not.

No she wouldn't, he's taking her to court for the divorce.  How do you know what his likely finances are, anyway?

Please read my comment above. He can't take her to court because she already agreed to an administrative divorce. She would need to take him to court because she wants a divorce and he's refusing. She can provide the grounds for the divorce - adultery.

13 hours ago, Liverpool Lou said:

...until she fcked up.  Taking it to court may achieve a whole lot of satisfaction for the husband, I know it would for me.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

He can get a divorce for free by signing papers for an administrative divorce at the local Amphur Office. Refusing to sign the papers achieves absolutely nothing. There is no court case as she agreed to a consensual divorce already. She would have to go to court as he refused to sign the papers, which would cost him money. Neither will be taking it to court and after they cool down, he'll sign the papers.

Adultery is grounds for divorce. It's not illegal in Thailand. There's no penalty for it, unlike in the Philippines and Islamic nations

yeah, don't invest emotionally in the relationship, be an absent husband, and then be surprised when the woman steps out and cheats and the marriage fails.

 

and get lawyers to clean up your mess. 

 

He doesn't have to do anything at all. If he refuses a consensual divorce, she would need to go to court to get a divorce. That would be an expensive undertaking so it's likely they will just remain married until the guy comes to his senses and signs the papers.

On 10/20/2024 at 8:15 PM, Liverpool Lou said:

Yes!  They are required not to commit adultery if they are still married, doesn't matter what stage the "paperwork" is at or what the status of the relationship is, they're still married until the divorce is final.

It doesn't matter what they've done. They were about to sign an administrative divorce which is by mutual consent.  

Taking it to court will achieve nothing. Proof of adultery is merely a reason for divorce if one partner refuses.
