Bangkok Prostitues

If you look destitute enough, it doesn't matter how white your skin is. A man with a bottle of Johnny walker in the biggest prostitute block outside of Amsterdam (likely bigger). Especially considering the legal difference. Women clicking at you in the street like a woman getting cat called in NY. The difference is the power dynamic; they could never over power me, so fear is missing. It is the same endless harassment. I just want to take it all in (no lady boy pun intended) and drink my beer and red label. When I do find a stool to sit on in an off alley, cars and tourists keep passing by, but with my head down and a bottle of liquor in my grip, no one speaks to me. If I would've tried on the man drag of Nana, i would be sitting 20 feet from a prostitue in any direction.

The absolute nature of sex tourism is undeniable. Throughout Bangkok, or any major city with a vice element, there is prostitution. Seeing it front row center is eye opening. Earlier I met two wonderful men from Scotland in a pub.  We talked many things from politics to guns to sports. They were awesome fellows. When the time came to part, and mind you I didn't realize so clearly that in Bangkok you only drink long enough to get ready to find a sex worker. They both excused themselves and I gushed about the lovely lady I just parted ways with.

It's said to be the worlds oldest profession. And in Thailand is said to be 90% voluntary with the worlds lowest rate of sex trafficking. Even with the lady boys. I still don't feel comfortable with it. Not just because I get laid so easily (call that a brag or low expectations), but I don't feel right pushing my demand into the supply chain of female subjugation. End rant

 There are street vendors selling Ciallis and Viagra alongside oral jelly. Now not being very familiar with butt sex, it took me a minute to put the two together. I had a good laugh at myself the minute it dawned on me, considering all the ladyboys. Not that there is anything wrong with consensual anal, but most of the lady boys are 11-15.

Crazy shit though. You really need to see the miss matched 19 year old Thai girl with the 55 year old Australian man. Or the 26 year old Thai woman with the overweight 35 year old American. It is predominantly older folks. And obviously younger women, but then again, it is said to be nearly impossible to tell. All the ladies and lady boys have breast implants and braces.  Nose jobs, skin whitening, chin implants, and ribs removed. This shit is a business.
