Thailand has come a long way over the past 20 years and Bangkok is a fantastic, modern, hip, cosmopolitan city.

So vocally grouping expats in Thailand and Thai ladies with prostitutes and STD's is going to come back and bite her in her fat ass some day.

Mara, sweety, now you realize that American women are way over-valued and that they have unrealistic demands expressing their modern-woman bravado. Western men already know that and many have had enough.

Apparently work is slow enough today that I am compelled to clock in here and remind my fellow Jezzies that orgasm is not a verb. One HAS an orgasm, much as one might.... y'know, HAVE a gagging reaction to seeing another picture of Paris Hilton holding a small, defenseless animal.

You have spoiled us with the abnormally high standards for this forum and its writing; I expect only the best!

Such as.

Of course, I could be totally wrong.

]]> <![CDATA[Mara Altman Refers To Her Vagina As "Down There," Still Hasn't Orgasmed]]> I am stuck on why she didn't pay the thai prostitute to do it for her.

Also, [this article [jscms.jrn.columbia.edu]] which I stumbled upon in a google image search for her demonstrates that she is even worse at writing about other peoples' sex lives:

She has become so comfortable now that when she gets home from her job as a computer consultant, the first thing she does is peel off her wig as if the luminous orb beneath held a secret super power. She wipes the oils from her head while her boyfriend stands by to rub his fingers over her scalp to relax her.

Honey, it's clear that you've never been to Southeast Asia. Everything that Mara said about being completely ignored by the men in Thailand is true. It's the same way in Singapore and a lot of the other surrounding countries.

My brother, an expat in Singapore, tried to talk me into relocating there. No freakin' way was that gonna happen. Asian men in Asia wouldn't give me the time of day -- and the expat men were just as bad.

When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - down there
When you've got worries, all the pink and the furry
Seems to help, I know - down there
Just listen to your senses and be gentle with your clitty
Linger on the edges where the outer lips are pretty
How can you lose?

Delights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go down there, things'll be great when you're
Down there - no finer place, for sure
Down there - everything's waiting for you

Or has she been fucked, but no orgasm? This makes no sense - whether she needs to be fucked or orgasmed, she needs to focus, man!

And why didn't she just have the little massage lady do it for her? And, HELLO, can she not just do it her damn self? Man...

Please tell me I'm reading it wrong, but she honestly seems to regard Thai prostitutes as "liberated" and envies their party tricks. Mara, if you'd been bought from your parents to fuck for pennies at the age of ten and had your virginity sold to the highest bidder, you'd be sexually "liberated" too, you dumb twat.
