ballpoint Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 If someone had told the younger me, about to start university at 16, just what the following 40 years of my life would be like, I'd have been very happy. And, at 56, still am. Hopefully the next 40 are just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a party happy mess till around 35, and enough money was pay the bills and eat. Who needs extra ???? Working only 2 or 3 days a week did that, so 4 or 5 days of chilling was my usual. Not having kids made being irresponsible easy. Not exactly working toward my goal of retirement though. Didn't get serious till about 38-40 yrs old, and taught myself stock trading. 5 yrs later, and married #3 & building a house in Thailand. Skip the S, D & RR, and could have done that at 25 yrs old. Was a fun 25-30 years though. Luckily no ill effect on my body, and gave it break the past 17 yrs. Figured 50 was a good round number to start acting my age. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 10 years I never saw him have any interest in guys dressed as girls. And we hit a lot of hooker places together. We had some amazing adventures! Nope, I'm convinced he caught it having straight unprotected sex with women. Up to you if you believe it or not, but it sure spoiled the 'unprotected sex' for the three of us who survived him.

GinBoy2 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Funny to reflect how many posts reflect on sex as the be all and end all. We all like sex, I think, but it's never been the sole focus of my life I've had a good, had/do get my fair share of sex But as I reflect in the final chapter.; My kids are the greatest thing in my life, although I wish one of them could produce a grandkid before we are both in diapers I've travelled the world, both for work and pleasure. I love my Thai wife, American ex-wife, US daughters, Thai son. I couldn't have thought for a second when I was 18 this is how my life would have panned out. But we all muddle through and it all kinda worked for me Edited March 15, 2022 by GinBoy2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a regular blood donor for many years as a young man until Aids came along and the Red Cross decided all men (regardless of sexual orientation) were likely carriers and for a time were banned from donating. Stung by the insult, I fell out of the habit and didn't donate again for many years . When I discovered I had a genetic blood condition that can only be treated by regular donation, my body had already been damaged to the extent that I am now in a wheelchair. I would have, unwittingly, continued treatment for my condition if not for the Aids epidemic and would have had a much different retirement.

Lacessit Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Yes and no. I've achieved a lot in my life, in hindsight I was probably sublimating a very strong sex drive into other forms of work and play. There is no point to listing my achievements, most would not understand them and think I was boasting. Suffice to say the last time I had any debt was 1974. I had my share of financial disasters with Western women, and survived them. If I had my time over again, no relationship with any Australian woman would have lasted more than 11 months. When I came to Thailand about 12 years ago, I was like a kid let loose in a lolly shop. Still am, although I have slowed down considerably.

jerrymahoney Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I am the low-achiever in a family of high-achievers such as (in the US pre-Covid) one might say to another: What are we doing this weekend? Not much. Let's go to Rome. If they had a house in Thailand (probably a villa in Phuket) it would likely be their second or third. And many of them would be identifiable, if not by name, then by circumstance. So rural Thailand fits me just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are saying HIV infections are more prevalent in some nationalities or ethnicities, no argument from me. Probably still rife in Africa, as the infected person has very limited access to therapies, and condoms are scorned by males there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
