Have You Ever Paid Money For Sexual Services In Thailand?

[Jingthing]

Many times on this forum we hear people talk about sex tourists and sexpats. Yet clearly many of the members here have indeed participated in the commercial scene in Thailand at one time or another, or currently. The intention of this poll is to gain some kind of numerical perspective about the audience here in relation to this always controversial topic. Nothing more, nothing less.

Please keep this civil if you can. The idea is to learn something about the members here, not to get on a high moral horse either pro or con about this topic.

As far as married people, I will leave it up to you how to define your relationship in relation to this question.

I would say that "naughty massage" counts.

Does dine and wine - pay for drinks all night - and back to her place count as paying??

That's up to you, but to me that sounds like a typical non-commercial singles scene date in any country.

So if you pay 500 baht bar fine for the girl not working.... drink eat and back to your hotel you are on a date?

Again, these judgments are up to you, but I think you are splitting hairs for sport, and missing the intention of this survey. In other words, I believe people always KNOW whether they are doing this or not, so why play semantic games about it?

Well it is just that I know some blokes who had the modus operandi of buying a meal/plying the girl with drinks....with the sole intention not to 'date' her but to shag her........that in my book is paying for sex.......and sometimes not even getting it!!!!!!

Think of it how the police would think of it in a country where the law is enforced. Cash for services directly is the test. Playing other typical dating/trying to score games would not count.

Ok I'll just vote......so if you buy her a motorsi and give her a few baht to compensate for her loss of earnings while she spends time with you, and a few baht for the family while you 'date' her that's not paying then - it is only if she gives you a price list? ok now I understand.

Now I am not so sure. Put it another way. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. You decide. OK? I don't want to be in the position of defining this for everyone. For exampe, I reckon some marriages would qualify as a yes but only the people involved would know that. I still think mostly people deep down KNOW whether they are doing this, or not.

Years ago in the U.S. I had a very nice conversation with a very attractive "lovely" I was sexually attracted too. After an hour of conversation in the bar and detecting departure signals, I asked if the person "are you ""working"", the answer was "yes". I quickily replied, "I don't pay for it". Off they went to another part of the bar for a half hour before they came back.

"No luck, I inquired upon their return". "Nothing I was interested in" was the reply. I then inquired if a date in the following week was possible, when they were not "working". "I would like that, was the answer". "Where would we go and what would we do"? was the next question posed to me. "Up to you" was my reply. "What are your budget restraints" was the next question which I answered with "You choose, I pay, no worries"

"Could cost you $200 or more at a nice restaurant with drinks" came the response. "No problem said I" truly meaning it.

"Well, why not just give me the $200 and we will skip the dinner and drinks and go straight to bed" came the punch line which brooked no complaint from me. As a result of this educational verbal exchange, I had one of the most enjoyable all night assignations of my life and learned a great deal about life and arbitrary moral codes from the experience.

H3ll yes! In my youth, again and again and again.

For a young single bloke, heaven is drinking and shagging. Nowt wrong with that!

I have deleted one post with a slur against gays. I would like to remind the membership that everywhere on Thaivisa, slurs against minorities are not permitted.

I would also like to remind the membership, particularly Jingthing, that while prostitution exists in Thailand and is allowed as a topic of discussion, the specifics of access to prostitution as well as discussions of personal participation in what *still* is a legally very grey area are not permitted. Further excursions of this type (including by Jingthing) will result in penalties and other relevant consequences.
