Having been to Bangkok to visit family for a nonpunting holiday, I agree that going bareback in Thailand is just naive
Thailand is internationally known as a destination for sex
Walking down the Bangkok streets as I did earlier in the year, I saw plenty of Westerners from Europe, USA and God knows where, and Im imagining a fair proportion were there for the same thing, most probably going to the same brothel that the taxi drivers take them to
And that is just the Westerners. I couldnt recognise which of the Asian faces there were Asian sex tourists
I dont like the idea of sexual warts at the very least.
Not to mention gonorrhoea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV - all of which can be completely asymptomatic to the working lady
Sharing a lady bareback with who knows how many other international sex tourists, before me, just seems a total turnoff
Ok, wearing protection and then maybe its a different story
But I would be checking each and every vagina for Herpes before I go close
And secondly I would be hoping that crabs wasnt on the menu
HIV- well, Thailand has a high rate of HIV, for the reason explained above - its a sex travel destination for international visitors
But HIV isnt the main blood born disease to worry about - its actually hepatitis B and hepatitis C, which are actually more common than HIV in SE Asia, and equally hazardous
