When I get an erection I feel like doing it.

The last few times I went downtown to eat in the soi buakao area I hated it. Could not wait to get out of there. It does have a lot of eateries thus why I went there. It's about the area, not how much money you have. You are still going to be partying in a grungy area with weak people even if you have a large bank account somewhere. Money is not going to fix that unless you like the area.

Sounds like being a human guinea pig as some clinic pumps you full of chemicals for whatever reason, charging both ways.

If you're happy dying then none of it matters I guess. Have fun!

Not as you get older. Everyone needs to use it eventually, unless you just die suddenly.

I would hesitate to take Cialis or similar daily, all the time, where it's long lasting throughout the day or multiple days. It effects your whole system, not just the genital area. Increased blood flow is being facilitated through your entire body and that's not normal. Maybe appropriate for a romantic vacation or something, but not just everyday like a vitamin. With a Viagara or similar it's effecting you just for a short duration then wears off. I think that's where the joke about "erections lasting more then 72 hrs, see your doctor" comes from. It can whack your system and other organs in your body.

Being kind of hard on the guy... Some of it is finances, not stupidity. A lot of people can't afford the insurance so they just take the risk and figure they will never get the holiday otherwise. It's like anything else, money insulates you from all kinds of problems. As far as the begging, it's "up to you". The fund is there if you want to help out, it's not required. He probably should not be attacked for making the effort.

The single thing I remember from him is the "buy and never sell" philosophy. I don't think that works for anyone but the wealthy. Most people can't weather an extreme downturn. As the economy changes, they need to sell, not from "fear" but because of inflation or necessity. Sorry, Charlie, I differ, but I think your philosophy worked for people in your situation. The problem was you proclaimed it to the masses who did not have that cushion to just "buy & hold".

That's what I was referring to earlier, although not at that particular facility. When I paid there were two nurses that immediately took the paid receipt and escorted me downstairs through a public lobby and the elevators to the pharmacy which was even more odd. I can't see them losing the personnel time just as a courtsey. That means they were doing it for everybody, although I did not notice while waiting for the appointment. But what really got me thinking was the giggles of the nurses in english about getting the receipt while going down. They gave away that it was watching me and an escort out. I think there's a lot of people that end up in Thailand for care and can't pay, especially in the tourist areas. They go in for care then just make an excuse or cause a scene before paying. I also had a procedure requiring multiple visits. After each visit I had to pay just for the procedures done that day, rather then paying upon completion at the end. People probably bail out mid treatment if they don't do it that way, maybe finishing the course of treatment somewhere else or what have you.

Agree much more since covid hit. People got screwy after that and I started isolating because people were so stressed out. Now it seems to be financial problems that I don't want to hear about or know about. I have been noticing that a lot of the interactions I have with other people are about their problems or difficulties. What happend to the 70's & 80's when people were happy and just had a good time? 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Sorry, You're correct. I can't delete the comment off as it locks in after about 15 minutes.

I don't think you can just walk out. I have been to dental centers and a hospital here and the cashier is right there before you get to the elevator and they are definately watching so you don't leave. I had a question at the cashier last time and staff immediately appeared behind me quicker then usual. I think they would call security if he just walked out.

What do they do if he becomes Ok to fly out but can't pay the hospital bill? Does he just get discharged and the hospital eats the bill, or is he prevented from leaving the country?

Someone said above that once you start testosterone you can't really get off it. The body stops producing naturally or you need to take estrogen later on, etc. Not worth it. Seems kind of weird stuff all around, especially in a clinic in thailand where the clinic staff may not be all that knowledgable. Many times they just treat you here on an up to you basis and don't really take your balls by the hand in terms of guidance. Or, they rush you into treatments you don't understand or need. If I was with a top hospital and doctor in the Usa I might consider it.

What's really weird are those older guys with what looks like their daughter. You can't tell if it's really their GF if they are not touching or interacting. I saw a couple like this at Bkk airport, I just kept staring but could not figure it out.

You may need to prove that on your return though for it to be recognized. So it's not really resolved. You may not have all the documents or Thailand may not understand what you submitted.

I used to think that. Now I think it's just a dumb opening people use because a genuine approach for everyone coming in for a beer would be a huge waste of energy. If it was a probing there would be interested follow up questions after the answer, not just "America!" or silence.

It's blokes who bought a cheap bar and are hanging around because things fall apart quicker if they don't. Usually a bar does not run itself, they need to hang around watching so the till does not get raided and other myriad problems. You can hire someone else to watch things and get things done, or put up a bunch of cameras, but it typically means you just need to watch one less person. There's usually no such thing as just sitting back and letting the money roll in.

I don't consider it a retirement destination. The gov't is too restrictive and you will likely be watched/monitored.

Oddly enough, that does not work. I think it's Thai's in general I don't prefer🤷🏻‍♂️. I do prefer Cambodians over Thai's, but not sure why. I think it's a vibe or attitude thing that turns me of in addition to the physical aspects. I prefer very subservient women and don't get that vibe from asian women much, even though that's a common stereotype.

Another aspect of my lack of sexual desire may be that I'm not really attracted to asian women, both their physical attributes and also the maturity level. I find them mostly skinny and immature. My type mostly probably brazilian, mexican or black in terms of just lust. Ask me why I'm in asia would be a good question. I probably couldn't make a great case for it other then cost.

No, but my eye got infected.

It's probably stress for me. Stress coupled with some mild depression & rumination or something, or maybe a mild mid life crisis. I think stress acts different as I age. Sometimes when I was younger stress actually seemed to increase sexual desire, maybe the opposite now.

What changed? I have not been there for 10 years.

Couldn't it be a short or drain somewhere? The electric company should be able to check this. It could be a problem outside somewhere or with the meter itself. If you owned the condo why would you need permission from management?
