There is a fine balance being anti bar girl and being aware of where they coming from and why they are doing it! 

 

As well what kind of establishment you picking up the girls from, and also age. Your intention with the girl comes to mind to. 

 

Meny perverts out there take advantages of the more vulnerable. 

 

On the other hand there is girls taking advantages of the weak men, and it is those you mostly hear about on a mens forum. Who are you, or which type are you? 

 

Of course there is mostly equal exploitation as it should be

I practice hedonism within controlled limitations, so yes, pleasure is very much part of my life as much I can, but the older I become, the more I limit myself because I think to much about consequences and also being more empathetic with a lot of emphasis for people around me who deserves empathy.

The Gospel according to Hummin?

What kind of establishment? They're all hole in the wall bars.

Intention is obvious. 

Fine if you're against the whole P4P scene, but you're going into all kinds of contortions man.

Seems you read in to my post a bit more than my intention. Did you miss the equal part of exploitation?

You are an grown man with a moral and ethics, figure it out and tell me and I will tell you what I think. 

 

Somehow it seems I manage to tick your boxes and triggers you to serve me short lines of camouflaged attempts of insults, so I advise you to read and ask me valid questions while you also contributes to the debate what you think. 

 

You gave a lead, now debate

Whom you ask? 

Probably over 80s would like to, but will watching instead only as bystanders🤣 and those between 60 and 80 need some little helpers, and the younger ones are too busy to answer. They are actively the reason of your question.

 

I thought Wan King was a town in China till I discovered Smirnoff.

 

Not to sure what would constitute hedonism.?........maybe hedonism lite once or twice.

It's all exploitation, man. 

Long-term relationships are mostly people using each other, but the parameters are different from the ones in a bar. 

It's just a pig with different lipstick. 

 

I became an Orthodox Hedonist early in life.

 

Suits me fine.

That sound more like an excuse than a valid point in a debate, and mostly an popular argument from those who have choosed to use the bar scene or prostitution instead of a long term relationship. 

 

Generalizations only and not very valid for an healthy debate!

 

Prostitution serves a purpose in societies treating loneliness and different other needs from just an happy ending to more advanced intimacy and sex. In Thailand you can say it is a lifestyle for many lonely expats. 

 

And quite a few is quite harsh against those who are in relationships or married using claims like you do above. Why this hostile behavior against someone who claims they have a good life with mutual benefits based on what they see as love and affection?

Come on Nicky, you cannot start a thread like this and not tell us all your side of the story.

Hedonism also includes intellectual/moral pleasures and not just base/physical ones.

I'm not sure everyone knows what hedonism is, and only sees it as villains who do un-christian things

I had some pretty ridiculous experiences in Cambodia a couple of decades ago that would rival anything else I've experienced in this lifetime. Hedonism is a good thing I think it's healthy to experience it from time to time.

intellectual ... what a joke.

moral ... what does that even mean?

How do you define hedoism ? There is quite a few manic chategories of hedoism and how to practice hedoism, but the main purpose or idea is as much pleasure and as little struggle or pain as possible. 

 

Pleasure comes in many ways, and not only through immortality. some people do have a pleasure of helping others and be somebody for others, and by be kind and nice they feel pleasure and have less pain in life. Just one simple example of ethical hedoism

I don't think most people would define hedonism that way.

 

Isn't there a bar in Pattaya called Hedonism? There must be. Or there should be if there already isn't one. That bar name should have been taken a long time ago. 

 

I'm off to the gym for some Anti-Hedonism. Pain and no pleasure.

Man, that is the most intelligent post you have made on this forum. Am sure someone can give you an AI dissertation on what it i supposed to be.

In short it means the Whalley <deleted> believe everything the do and think is absolutely correct.

Just try to google my reply and see what you finds ?

 

Yes, a pleasure of helping others is a common example of ethical hedonism. By engaging in acts of kindness, people experience positive emotions, such as increased happiness, reduced stress, and a sense of fulfillment. This "helper's high" is attributed to the release of endorphins and boosts in serotonin and dopamine in the brain, which contribute to feelings of calm, contentment, and joy

 

Then search for ethical hedoism

 

Ethical hedonism involves helping others if doing so brings about the greatest amount of pleasure, either for oneself (egoistic hedonism) or for others (altruistic hedonism), which is often found in universalist forms like utilitarianism. An altruistic hedonist, for example, could be a philanthropist who derives personal pleasure from helping others or finds the act of increasing the pleasure of a greater number of people inherently rewarding

 

Now you can start your philosophy around the bar name and tell us why it got its name, or just ask them next time you drop by 😉

If these women had more options in life, they would likely choose a different path. It's pure exploitation.
