Thai B/F vs Loyal & Loving dog?

[Manforallseasons]

Obviously that would depend on the dog.

[francois]

Easy answer, I hate dogs!

[Jellybean]

And I'm allergic to dogs, but thankfully, not, as yet, to Thai boyfriends.

Surely this is a question that should be put to our resident Issan colleague.

But if it is being suggested that the Thai bf would be excluded, not available for intimate relations, then is it also suggested that the alternative arrangement be of an unsavoury nature? That brings to mind our colleague who "rides 'em like a pony".

This thread must be one of the most desperate attempts ever employed to start a discussion.

Actually beastialiy was not what I was alluding to.

Sorry not into sex with animals.

Pros and cons to a dog. Pros are they don't lie, cheat, steal, manipulate, take advantage of you, or anything like that. They just love you... and food, they love food too. Cons are you don't get sex out of the deal, and the conversations tend to be pretty one-sided. You get lots of cuddles I guess, but I don't even think that gives off an oxytocin release, or does it? Doesn't feel like it at least, or definitely not the same as cuddling with a human.

Nonetheless, I love my boys to no end, and would never give them up. They're basically like my kids. Actually, they're exactly like my kids. I've known the one since the day he was born, and the other I got when he was 3 weeks old. Plus for a single white guy living here, they provide excellent security.

No idea about the Thai BF thing. I've only had one, and he drove me insane. Been debating about that lately though. Not sure if I should look for an actual relationship, meaning professional white collar guy in his mid-30s, or just say hell with it, grab a cute 20 year old, and have some fun for a year or two until he decides I'm too boring and work too much, then leaves me?

[Manforallseasons]

Matt over time I've had a few Thai "boyfriends" and because of the differences in culture, age, etc. it too is one-sided, over time for me its better to rent by the hour vs. the alternative.

[Smiles]

Somewhat off topic.
Matt, do you ever have chronic sinus problems with all those dogs -- and of course their hair -- in the house?
I love dogs as well -- an extremely gentle soi dog comes over for cheese every day -- but, I'm unfortunately allergic to many of them. My nose plugs up horribly and lasts for days. My soi dog is now banned from our front porch. Can't be helped.

[cdnmatt]

Problem with renting by the hour is the sex always sucks. At least for me, sex without love isn't much fun. That, and I go to a curtain motel, so it's not exactly the most romantic environment. I still do it for an occasional oxytocin release, but that's about it.

Plus it's expensive. It costs me about 2200 baht for an hour of shitty sex at a curtain motel. Not really worth it in my opinion.

At 2200 baht a pop in Essan maybe you should take another look at those dogs!

Nope, not at all. The only thing fabric based here is the beds, and they're not allowed in the bedrooms. The rest is just a typical Thai house of cement, tile and wood, so there's no pores for the nasty stuff to get stuck into. Hair is a bit of a problem, but not too bad, as it's all tile floor so not hard to sweep up.

Moreso than the hair is the dirt they drag in from the yard. I just open the doors in the morning, and they're allowed in & out all day as they please, so they drag all the dirt from the yard inside. I sweep & mop, and 3 hours later the floor is back to being filthy. Especially bad in the rainy reason when the yard muddy. Not much I can do except shrug my shoulders at it, as I'm not willing to lock them outside. It's their house too, so they're allowed in.

As for street dogs, they don't come around here. My dogs make sure to let them know they're not welcome on this street, so the soi dogs tend to stay away. :)

[Doug]

Cats and Thai boys are similar.

1. They come and go as they please.
2. They can be friends with you and live with you, but you canтАЩt really own them.
3. They may disappear suddenly and without explanation.
4. They may suddenly come back without telling you what theyтАЩve been up to.
5. They often show up when itтАЩs time to eat.
6. They may love you but you canтАЩt be sure since theyтАЩre not saying.
7. They like a good cuddle, but only when it suits them.
8. Maybe they get food from more than one sponsor.
9. You wonder what theyтАЩre doing out on the streets late at night.
10. Their ambition in life is to sleep, eat and have fun.
11. The claws come out when they defend their territory.
12. ItтАЩs difficult to tell them what to do.
13. When theyтАЩre offended, they turn their backs on you, donтАЩt speak and avoid eye contact.
14. They think theyтАЩre entitled to our love, attention and support.
15. They can get spoiled, insisting on having everything their own way,
16. They are lazy except when they want something.
17. They donтАЩt read books and they donтАЩt ponder the deeper questions of lifeтАжat least as far as we know.
18. They love cleaning themselves and preening.
19. Dealing with Thai boys is like trying to herd cats.
20. TheyтАЩre so cute that youтАЩre willing to forgive them almost anything.

Too Funny!!!

[Doug]

Dogs think of man friend: "You love me. You feed me. You pet me. You must be God!."

Cats and Thai boyfriends think: "You love me. You feed me. You pet me. I must be God!"

Well, yeah. 1500 baht tip, 400 hotel, 100 tip to hotel manager, couple beers, yeah -- 2200 is about right.

What I should do is just get into a relationship again, because then the price drops substantially. Provide shelter, food, a small allowance, and you're good to go. Might be a little more insane by the time the relationship ends, but what the hell...

[cdnmatt]

heh, thinking about it, this reminds me of a joke I read on Thai Visa a long time ago.

Put your BF and your dog in the trunk of your car, and drive around a bumpy road for an hour. Then open the trunk, and see who's happy to see you. :)

[francois]

Oh no, now you have hangups about oral sex?

[francois]

They're basically like my kids. Actually, they're exactly like my kids.

When does this end? Now you have kids in KK?

The "unsavoury nature" remark reminds me of a challenge laid out for me many years ago by a straight-talking womanising friend of mine who spent years in Manhattan-the home of fancy female dog owners.
He challenged me ever to record 2 female dog owners met in sequence with a LARGE dog of FEMALE gender.
I swear to god I have not done it yet after 30 years.

Yes, these guys:

Mr francois,
If you take the tile corners to be perfect right angles and calculate the angle of the oblique shadow cast across them by the perfectly perpendiculat door jamb and then look up a few formulae on google you should be able to find the exact co-ordinates of this location.
