This posting is relevant to Thailand because I am worrying that Thailand could be next.

My sex-maniac friend (now in Vietnam) spent years in Korea. When he arrived, he found that Koreans found nothing at all wrong with male friends jerking off together. In the baths, it was not regarded as abnormal in any way if a guy decided to jack off.

An interesting custom: good friends would rent a (straight) porno video, check into a short-time hotel, and jack off watching the video.

Long-time friends were commonly called "masturbation friends."

All of this was accepted Korean culture, even if tacitly accepted.

Korea is now over fifty percent Christian, and all of the above behavior has ceased.

This worries me, when I have time to worry. I worried even more when a female student at Chiang Mai University handed in a term paper with the title "Homosexuality." She got almost everything wrong, including the fact that boys walking around arm in arm are not typically gay, and neither are girls doing the same. But she claimed that Thailand should give up such behavior because it was "homosexual."

It is really sad that crazy Jesus (probably gay himself) should have become the patron saint of the anti-gay movement. Of course, almost everything that crazy Jesus said has been ignored in practice, while Saint Paul the Escaped Lunatic rules the roost.
