I just had 2 friends from England visit Bangkok and there were some magical moments during their stay that will certainly become local legend.  One particular evening stands out in my mind as it is a perfect illustration of how different one’s priorities become after living in Paradise as long as I have. There is a decent restaurant near my party area that has 2 girls who wear sexy tight uniforms that sport the name of the beer company that they represent. I have a fancy for the Leo Beer girl, who I must say looks really hot in her short, tight silky outfit.  Naturally I wandered in to the restaurant and had a couple of meals and managed to get her phone number followed by a couple of nights of partying on the town and energetic love making back at my place.  In my mind it was just innocent fun (as with any girl) but I must admit it wasn’t cheap.  Both nights out we went to pricy discos and I was set back a decent chunk of change.  It was still cheaper and more fun than paying for sex with a professional, but I certainly don’t like to spend that kind of money on a regular basis.  No problem in my scheme of things as certainly after 2 or 3 expensive dates we will just be eating som tom (papaya salad) on the street and going straight back to my place for sex in the future.  

Well, I had temporarily forgotten that I had introduced this lass to my 2 horny English mates(what was I thinking?), and to my shock and amusement one of them (Paul) ended up going out with her to some of her favorite discos and of course back to his place for some horizontal mambo.  He was very sheepish the day he confessed to me the events of that night, thinking that I would be angry or jealous that he had done one of my favorite gals.  I have evolved way past that novice stage of jealousy and possession in my life as an international playboy.   Actually, I thought it was great that a guy on a short holiday managed to have sex with such a hot gal for free when most of the visitors have to settle for the pay for play gals.  He begrudgingly recanted the sordid events of his midnight orgy and it was all good fun and all of us laughed until we had tears rolling down our cheeks.  I told him I wasn’t possessive with my gals and as far as I was concerned the more the merrier!  If you can’t share some of your favorite shag bunnies with your best mates you have got your priorities all screwed up in my humble opinion.  He had forgotten to use protection as they were both blind drunk, and I told him that just a few days earlier I had done the same with her so from this day forward we were officially blood brothers.  

Nothing about the story bothered me until his mate Ian asked him how he managed all of that when he had left the hotel room with only 1 thousand baht ($30) in his pocket?  Paul said that the Leo beer gal had paid for her own drinks. That little slut!  When I was out with her she NEVER paid for anything and both nights were very expensive for this poor little horn dog.  Now, I don’t give a shit if she wants to f**k one of my mates, but he nailed her without having to buy her drinks?  I don’t blame my horny mate Paul as he was just seizing an opportunity as any red blooded man would, but I will never talk to that cheap little Leo beer slut again.  Paul and Ian we miss you guys here!! 

I was watching a situation comedy from the USA the other night, and witnessed a perfect enactment of why guys should never get married or for that matter ever commit to just one woman.  A happy couple were out on the town and as usual the woman managed to turn the pleasant conversation into one of those “we have to bring the relationship to the next level” talks (OK, now I have to put 20 baht into the pot at Londoner for saying the “R” word).  Anyway, the gal told the guy that he needed to stop seeing other women and devote himself entirely to her.  This guy was a real playboy, and had dozens of gorgeous sexual partners and was more than a bit reticent to acquiesce to her request.  The gal was a professional ballet dancer.  She says that both of them need to make the sacrifice of not sleeping with other partners.  He stared at her and asked “do you want to sleep with other guys?”  Her answer was “of course not!”  He exclaimed “then YOU are not giving up anything!”  I couldn’t have said it better myself.  

My mates like to joke with me about how much younger than myself all of my gals tend to be.  I must admit I like them a bit on the young side.  There is an old joke that when an old guy looks at a young gal his friends say “she’s young enough to be your daughter.”  My mates always say that my girls are young enough to be my grand-daughter.  The other day I was chatting up a very hot gal who ended up being 27 years old.  I just can’t get excited about a dinosaur of that age so I turned and made a hasty exit.  I told my best mate “now SHE was old enough to be my daughter.”  Yuck.
