The FARANG Speaks 2 Much

I will get to the title soon.

Life is crazy right now. Usually I try to get a post out as often as I can knowing that I am out exploring, partying and womanizing. With all that activity I then feel compelled to write. But I have been too busy to be out much and my hands are quite full in the ying department, the New Mango is forthcoming and p6 is roaring right along. Is this all an excuse? Maybe. I am not sure really. I feel a heavy burden to get the Mango going again since Bkk has a gaping hole in the bar scene and p6 will be important to Thailand goers as well. Maybe I can’t do it all?

Who knows. It makes me think a lot about what this blog is at times. Is it a place to talk about myself? Some think so. Is it our marketing tool or outreach tool for our bar business? It is that at times. Is it a good place to keep up on what the hell is happening in this country? Sure - for some people it is. For others the blog probably has no interest at all unless it mentions going out and finding girls. At least it appears that if we don’t do that people complain. Either way I guess the blog is what it is.

We try to cover nightlife, the bar biz, the nutty stuff and take a gander into all SE Asia has to offer. I am sure it is not perfect but it is what it is. I will keep my ear to the comments though since that seems to be the barometer for things.

A shout out to those contributing to the reader submissions. Have some new Khlongwater and bkk22 coming. The one from bkk22 is going to real fire people up.

Thanks to all the folks sending in their material.

However…

The big question is - where is Jack Dawson?

We have not heard from Jack since this last comment:

Something wrong with a BJ ?

This perfectly highlights why we miss JD. Simple, pithy statements like this.

JD, where are you?

In other news…

Thailand is looking to restart the war on drugs. I am not sure how I feel about it. Clearly Thailand has a drug problem when it comes to the cheap drugs that seem to proliferate the lives of the less fortunate. Somehow though the way the government goes about trying to fix things is pretty messy. Seems to me the supply side needs ot be choked off some but that was not what the previous war on drugs was all about so I am not sure why the little people are getting knocked off but the big guys are left to bring in the supplies.

Dovetails well with this.

I am baffled by Hong Kong these days. I think China is bleeding the place out and the quality of life is going down the tubes. The pollution is appalling let alone the inflation in the housing market. HK is pegging interest rates to the US and cheap money is fueling the apartment market. Can’t be pretty but who can see the places anyway given the air quality? Why can’t HK spend some of this excess money on making the place better for the future?

Now to the thrust of my post.

“There has been a definite increase in the number of men showing signs of vaginal ejaculation dysfunction disorder, which includes such afflictions as premature and delayed ejaculation. There are physical reasons believed to be behind this, including prejudice against women, past trauma and overuse of masturbatory aids so that a vagina is unable to provide sufficient stimulation,” Dr Tsuneo Akaeda, head of the Akaeda Clinic in Tokyo’s Roppongi entertainment district, told Shukan Asahi.

Honestly folks - I had no idea such an affliction even existed. I love Tokyo. I can’t say I love Japan but I think Tokyo is amazing. However I always get a sense that the Japanese people, especially men, are wound just a little too tight. The work schedules, the commutes, the workplace culture and the subordination of women all contribute to paradise for white men but hell for Japanese dudes. It seems a declining birthrate, women’s lib, and too much porn have created VEDD. Wow. These guys need some help.

No wonder why u see so many of these guys in Thailand.

“Sex is just way too much trouble,” a 35-year-old Japanese man told Shukan Asahi this week, adding that ever since he used masturbation as a teenager, he’s never desired a woman again. “As long as I have a sex toy available, I don’t need women. I can’t come when I have sex, and you’ve got to put a lot of emotion into dealing with women. Self-pleasure is a hell of a lot less demanding than trying to please somebody else.”

Sorry. This all just seems a little too wacked for me. Toys are better than girls? No thanks. Self pleasure better than exploring a women’s body? I don’t think so. Pleasing girls is fun as long as I have some fun in the process. Maybe what they are saying is that banging girls is so much work that jerking off into a fake vertical smile is heaven in comparison.

Well. What can I say other than no wonder why Baccara is rammed with the frustrated Tokyo boys…
