I'm non-negotiably hetero, and honestly have a little concern of not being able to tell who is who.

Only because I don't want to end up in an embarrassing situation for either party...but since I don't do the bar thing I suspect it's unlikely.

 

I have no judgement about the culture tho, other than understanding that a tolerant culture is way better than the alternative, and folks should be free to express their sexuality however they please. 

 

Was accosted by one down on Samui a few years back who was on a scooter and tried to grab my balls as I walked back to my room in Chaweng..I was very civil at first and just laughed it off but when he reached there again I backhanded him!That's my stuff with one..

Conclusion gays don’t like lady boys so then i am not a gay.

I'm the most hetero male on Thaivisa and thieving ladyboys are repelled by my force field.

If you have with a 'with' just come out and say your gay !

If you've done anything with a ladyboy you're a fag either way! You're still banging a dude either way...

I'm surprised by the results so far. I thought making it anonymous would encourage people to be honest. Surely, nearly every one of us has had at least one such encounter... 

Speak for yourself buddy...

I have long held a theory on Thai ladyboys. I would be interested in your comments on it.

 

A ladyboy is alleged to be transgender, ergo a woman born with a man's body. However statistics show that a far higher proportion of the Thai population are ladyboys than is the case in Western countries. Why?

Quite easy to know why if you think about it logically. Since babies Thais have been brainwashed to watch and accept that gays & ladyboys are "normal". They are all over tv on nearly all soap operas, so called "comedy" "funny" shows, as celebs, and everywhere where you walk you can't escape them. In other countries you don't get that rubbish plastered all over tv and in your face like you do in Thailand.

Amazing this poll, 30-40% of men having sex with a ladyboy (A MAN) believe they are not in any way gay ! Not so much land of smiles as land of the delusional. 

AMEN Brother!

i think most males wont actually admit their interest in lady boys....

some are very beautiful--going with them doesnt make a man gay.

some ladyboys are scary and revolting.

there is a large number of ladyboy  bars in bkk...if there is NO  interest--im sure these bars would not exist...i doubt if the the men going there would like being labelled-gay....

I know for sure that SOME of the lady boys,let's say the ones that are finished and done all the way, are more beautifull then some of the nee sayers wifes and that deep in their hart they would love to try. Like the muslims in my country ,that are the worst in discriminating ladyboys ,gays ,transgenders ,or whatever gender ,and scream the hardest that they are durty and a discrace to society , but if you walk in the redlight district 02:00 oclock at night you cannot count how many of them visit the south american transfestites working behind the windows so the people who scream the hardest want it the most

If you mean by "going with them" having sex, and the ladyboy had a penis, it definitely means the male is engaged in 'bi-sexual' activity. 

You can call that 'gay,' it isn't a derogatory word last I heard (when used with respect).

Straight is an absolute value, everything else is divergent. Perhaps there is such a thing as pure gay on the other end.

To visualize it geometrically, straight would be a straight line, gay could be a circle; everything else is an arc. 

 

I have to admire a mind that can think like that. Can you do it in three dimensions as well?

Do you get a discount from the bar girls if you require less than half of their service?

I am not hansum man, so I doubt I would get a discount on anything.

If anyone has done any "stuff" with ladyboys, then no way are they straight.

No one ever admits to going with a katoey.  

 

The makeup, hairdos, gold & motorbikes they have just magically appear without anyone shagging & paying them.

 

It's probably a Thai thing. ????

"but have received oral".  From a ladyboy? You may not be 100% homosexual, but you definitely have homosexual tendencies.

Kind of like racist laws where if you're 1 percent of something, then you're that thing.

Fight the ignorance! Loving ladyboys is a STRAIGHT thing! Again, if you don't believe me, ask your local ladyboy. She'll tell ya!

You assume wrong. Gay men for the most part strongly prefer dudes. Why be gay otherwise? You're obsessing on genitals. Ladyboys present as FEMALES. Gay men generally prefer people that present as MALES. DUH! 

What does DUH stand for?

Why would you believe that nearly everyone has had at least one encounter with a ladyboy?  Is it because you have and you feel it must be normal?

It is definitely not normal. But that is not to say that apart from anything to do with sex, a homosexual is not normal.

I'm afraid I can't, I am not saying that there are no ladyboys in my village, but none that I know of.

They might not like to be labelled as gay but doing a dude no matter how much they are trying to be dressed up to look like woman is still doing a man, hence gay.

I've never seen even one stereotypically gay man with a ladyboy. I'm sure it happens but I call TOTAL B.S. on your claim. I think I know where you're coming from. I presume you immediately label ANY MAN with a ladyboy as being a gay man just because they are with a ladyboy. You're entitled to that opinion but I don't share it. Ask the ladyboys themselves who is attracted to them? They will tell you -- STRAIGHT MEN. Often, they are extremely hostile to gay men I'm not sure exactly why but perhaps because they know gay men are generally not tempted by them. 

"They will tell you -- STRAIGHT MEN." They may be attracted to them, but if they return that attraction they are definitely not straight.

OMB that's a very binary way of thinking.

A dude is still a dude. Putting on a dress and heels and trying to pretend to be a woman doesn't make a dude not a dude anymore.

I think you were wrong to backhand him, if, as you say you laughed it off.

He may have thought that because you laughed it of, you approved of what he was trying to do.

Why did you not let him know that you disapproved what he was trying to do when he tried to

grab your'e balls?
