First off, let me say, I did not make that post with the intention of ENDORSING the use drugs... I was simply explaining the REALITY of the situation here in Thailand as far as drugs in the ladyboy sex industry.
I am not a doctor, so I don't really deal with patients, nor do I have any role in "treating" someone... But I do have PLENTY of experience dealing first hand with countless ladyboys, and everything I said is based on that REAL LIFE experience, and I stand by everything I said.
My responses to your comments on my points:
1) Yeah, there is a price to pay for doing drugs.. you described it as "feeling washed out" -- yep... very similar to the price one pays the next day for drinking too much the previous night...
2) Yes, I am aware that chronic users often do lose many of the "positive effects" of certain drugs after prolonged use... You mentioned that not being able to get erect is one of them... Yes. True. Kindof a catch 22 really... Speedy drugs tend to make people horny while at the same time making it more difficult for them to get erect... I suppose the ladyboy can then just get ask the customer she is with if she can use some of the Viagra that he is most likely using... (I realize its not safe -- just pointing out that ladyboys often DO use Viagra as well.... Just as MANY of their customers do...)
5) No, I don't spend time worrying about all of those things, because its not my job to.. I was simply pointing out the reasons that Xanax is typically used here... Umm, Im getting the feeling you have no real life experience DOING any drugs... Your post had the feel of a textbook.. (I have no problem with that -- I personally think it is everyones RIGHT to take or NOT TAKE whatever substance they choose.)
6) I'm sorry if you disagree, but that will only prove your ignorance on the subject... I know for a fact that IS a reason (not the sole reason) that many ladyboys do ice. Again, this comes from my 5 years experience in dealing with them on a daily basis...
I think its important to note that these ladyboys are often having sex with people THEY ARE NOT PHYSICALLY ATTRACTED TO. And the use of drugs in some form (meth for its increased sex drive, and viagra for the physical erection) is simply required if they are going to get any customers.. because every customer of a ladyboy wants them to be hard, and usually to cum... Thats not necessarily the easiest thing when your with someone you dont really want to be with...)
And that is nice that you live for 2 months with a ladyboy, but again, I standby my claim that methamphetamine does not make people crazy.. When you see the clips on the news of the bloody guy holding a knife to a kids throat in the middle of the street "because of ya ba" that is due to the psychosis and paranoia brought on (again) by SLEEP DEPRIVATION.. Yes, that sleep deprivation was brought on by the use of drugs, and that is why I mentioned that it IS sad to see someone who does drugs who cannot control themselves...
Dude, don't go into the usual "just ask the parents of a 14 year old who died" sob stories... That type of shit happens with everything... i guarantee I can list for you 1000% more alcohol poisoning stories with the same ring to them... and thats not a conversation Im interested in having anyway... The point of my original post was to explain the realities of WHY the LBs do drugs (not saying its good OR bad) because I thought it was unfair for the people on this forum to say the things they were saying about certain people because the simply don't understand the "full picture" of how things are... Many people are in some fantasy land where they think that 18 year old hotties ENJOY fucking 55 year old men... SORRY, life doesnt work that way...
I'm sorry if my posts offend people, I know many cannot deal with the cold truth -- but thanks for pointing out that you would not buy me a drink if you saw me in a bar... (I dont recall ever asking you to, so I think its a bit childish of you to say that)... but whatever.
(sigh)
