Remember to wash cucumbers diligently before consuming them at your girlfriend’s place.

Something about Buddhism and the head being sacred and lowering it to a vagina is wrong.

Butif a girl does it to a man it is ok. 
 

anyone else heard that?

Not only Thai customs but Chinese too. Not only buddhism . It can be Taoism or other beliefs. Main issue is they believe the female part is unclean due to menses blood passing out thru the birth canal. Women who are on the period cannot enter temples as the shamans can identify those who are. I understand if you are on the period, you do not enter the main hall of the temple. Mainly due to more yin energy than normal.

There is supposedly a HPV vaccine.

They where recently trying to give it to all the girls at my granddaughters school, strangely as far as I could ascertain they didn't seem to offer it to the boys,

even though boys can and do carry the virus and pass it onto girls causing cervical cancer  which was the whole reason they stated that the girls get the vaccine..to prevent cervical cancer ???

Not surprising with all those bodybuilt tatooed westerners that come to Thailand and mingle with the ladyboys.

As usual they haven't given enough detail, i.e. men on women or men on men. I'd expect women to have increase cases as well

I had this cancer, it was caused by HPV +16,Dr's told me it was probably something that I did 30 years ago. 

They said it was a very slow development. 

The good news was that it was HPV +16,this particular strain responds very well to treatment, I had radiotherapy and cisplatin treatment and have been free from it 12 years, they say it probably won't come back. 

Treatment is very hard to go through but I did it. 

I got a second opinion from a robotic surgeon who told me not to let them operate, or I would be dead in 2 weeks, tumour was around my corotid artery and he said if they touch that with a bypass I would surely die. I have no signs of it now.

Yes michael Douglas had HPV +16,and had radiotherapy and chemo, which is standard treatment in most countries, according to a robotic surgeon who spent many years working in the USA and advised me in new Zealand

IMO that's BS. They quite happily ignore most of the religious dictats that they don't want to obey. Aren't Buddhists not allowed to eat meat?

 

As for the OP, why is it that everything that is enjoyable is not good for us?

Can't eat red meat, can't go out in the sun without a hat and sunscreen, sugar is evil, etc.

I assume you meant a surgeon that uses a robot, and not that the surgeon is a talking robot. 🙂

Errrr. If all the girls have the vaccine they don't have to vaccinate the boys. It would cost twice as much to vaccinate all the boys as well and they can't get cervical cancer.

I got the HPV Gardasil 4 five years ago, may help, i was 49, not strictly recommended due to age but did it anyway just in case

It was the left tonsil and lymph node was enlarged, I was beginning to have pain swallowing, I got a torch and looked down my throat and saw a growth. 

I had a Mra scan next day at Huahin, cost 10000 baht, diagnosis was cancer, I went straight to Nz and they said it was HPV +16 involving tonsil and 5 lymph nodes, lucky not tongue, after 7 weeks of treatment it was gone, however radiotherapy effect goes on for years and you have to take good care of your teeth, but I am okay now.

Well you can make it what you want but your comments are not funny, people want to know about this genuinely.

Might be sensible to get the vaccine.

It only works on younger men, for some reason. The rest of us simply have to take our chances!

But what about

Who do boys like they're girls, who do girls like they're boys"  ??  😋

A couple of years ago I has a nasal polyp removed by Electrocauterization. 18 months later another grew on the outside of my nose, but at the same point as the one on the inside. The latter was removed by laser surgery. I don't know what my risk is regarding cancer as a result, but it's certainly something I'm keeping an eye on. I've no idea if this is related to my wayward youth. I'm in my 50s now.

You've got a todger growing on your nose?

Next time with your Thai gal, ask if you can suck her toes.  See how that goes.  I've heard the request gets interesting responses.
