Philippines - Part 1

Mid May 2009 - This was a 17 day trip during which I spent 10 days in the Philippines, 3 days in Bangkok and 3 days in Siem Reap, Cambodia. This was my second time in Thailand and my first for the Philippines and Cambodia. I was a friggin flying mad man on this trip. I was in Angeles and Manila for a few days. Then flew to Bangkok and was there for a couple of days. Then flew on to Siem Reap in Cambodia for three days, and back to Bangkok for another night of debauchery and then back to Manila. From there I was back and forth crisscrossing to Leyte, Samara, and Luzon. Man did I have a blast.

I started out in Los Angeles flying Asiana Air (always a first rate airline) using 60K United miles. Connected through Inchon and on to Clark Field in Angeles City. Arrived at midnight and the free shuttle from the Savannah Resort Hotel was not at the airport waiting for me. Hmmm… off to a good start. Took a cab to the hotel and asked the cute Filipina desk girl what happen? Here reply was the standard "he was there you must have missed him…" oh well not a problem. The Savannah Resort is a great hotel and I believe fairly new. It's on Don Juico Ave which is on the Perimeter. Juico Ave turns into Fields street and the hotel is about a 3 minute ride to the action on Fields. Their van takes you there and back for free. Also drives you to the mall and back for free. I stayed in a Junior Suite at $75 per night. The rooms were very nice, clean, plenty of hot water with a rain shower head, electronic safe box, free unlimited WiFi, porno for free on the TV, very comfortable pillow top bed and big fluffy pillows. And yes they are guest friendly. I never heard anyone through the walls and the hotel is quiet. They have a great bar/restaurant area next to the pool. The food was very good and the staff is young and cute. On the floors they had great paintings of women in bikinis or topless. Reminded me a lot of the pictures in the rooms at the Medellin Mansion. The hotel is about a 3 minute walk to the VFW Hall where I ate breakfast for the two days I was there. You get a great choice of American type breakfast selections for a very reasonable price.





During my 10 days in the PI I spent 36 hours with a girl named Tess from Subic bay. I had met her on line and had her meet me in Angeles. She is a non-pro, 34 years old and going through a divorce from a guy from Europe. She is clean and so I didn't need to use rubbers (I've had a vasectomy so she was not worried about getting knocked up). He ex had told her she wasn't that sexy and as such she was very insecure in this area. So during this 36 hour period we fucked, swam in the pool, fucked, visited the mall, fucked, took a walk in the evening down Fields Street, and fucked some more. She fucked like a little minx and actually knew how to give a pretty good head job. We showed together and she would get down on her knees in the shower and suck me off while the rain shower doused us with warm water. She was a lot of fun and this is how I spent my first 1.5 days in the PI.

I then took the Swagman bus to Manila for P$600. They picked me up at my hotel at 11:30 AM and took me to the Swagman Hotel. From there they leave at noon. The also have a daily bus that runs to Subic Bay for P$500 which heads out at 10 AM. I put Tess on that bus and off she went. They call this service the Fly the Bus. If my memory serves me right the trip took about 2.5 to 3 hours. The bus goes to their hotel in Manila and from there I took a cab to my hotel on P Burgos St in Makati. I stayed at the Oxford Suites which I do recommend. It's right in the center of all the girlie bars and it is one of the nicest areas to stay at in Manila. Breakfast was included in the price and it was a hot breakfast and was good. Ask for a room on the opposite side of the hotel not the rooms facing Burgos St. The rooms have electronic safes and the hotel is guest friendly. I spent my first night not getting much sleep due to the mother fucking cab drivers who honk all day and night for no damn reason other then to honk. I was back in this hotel off and on for four more nights as I transitioned through Manila and my other rooms were quiet. You get free Wifi for one hour each day and you then have to buy time beyond that. Walking down Burgos Street at 4 pm I had girls offering me massages, manicures and blow jobs. I had a damn ladyboy follow me for about a 100 feet trying to convince me that he was for me. Everywhere you walk you've got assholes trying to sell you shit. Mostly Viagra and Cialis. I did actually buy some towards the end of my stay. It is legit and it's packaged in England. There are 4 pills to a box and they try to sell it for P$500 a box. These guys will undercut each other and I ended up buying 5 boxes for P$1000. That comes out to about a $1 per pill. Not too shabby at all.

Taking a taxi from the Manila airport you have to pay the standard rate and I think it was something like P$500. Going back to the airport jump in a yellow cab and tell your driver to turn on the meter and it's only about a P$170 ride back from Burgos St.. After my first ride back to the airport I would just tell the driver what I would pay. They would quote me a price the was about P$150 more but they would always agree to my price. The International Terminal exit hall has an ATM so you can get your pesos there when you arrive. When you leave the country you always have to pay a departure tax and I think it was P$1000 when I fly to Bangkok and also when I flew back to the states. The domestic tax is much more reasonable and was only P$200 per flight each way. I flew Philippine Airlines to Bangkok and also some domestic flights and I was very happy with their service. I also flew Cebu Pacific on a domestic flight and they were my favorite. Their service is very good, their planes are brand new and they have good leg room. I'm 6'1" and that's important to me. It's also dirt cheap to fly domestically in the PI.

For 7 of my 10 days in the Islands I spent with a lovely sweetheart of a girl by the name of Mae. She is 23 years old, 93 lbs and is as sexy and sweet as they come. She is an adorable travel companion. I also meet her online prior to my arriving in the Philippines. She is a non-pro, and I actually left my heart with her in the Philippines. I had a fantastic time with her and we visited many interesting places in the Philippines. I will share with you guys one very romantic spot to take your girl de jour. The town is called Sorsogon City. You take a 30 minute flight from Manila to Legaspi which is also on Luzon Isl. You can visit Mt. Mayon (perfectly shaped volcano) there and then take a 2 hour car ride to Sorsogon which is on the Pacific Ocean side of Luzon. The hotel is called Sirangan Beach Resort. The area is quiet and peaceful yet there are many things to see and do there. The resort is small but quite beautiful and is right on the beach and they have an infinity pool. The food is fantastic and the service is first rate. The owner explained that she designed the rooms with Karma Sutra in mind. I kid you not guys these rooms screamed to be fucked in. They attack every sexual sense you have in your body. Their website is: www.sirangan.com





Mae has a prefect little spinner body and a nice little rack to go with her little body. Sorry I can't share naked photos of her as this one is one is a keeper. And even though she knows I will never marry her or bring her to the States, at this point, she is quite happy waiting for my return trip to see her.

Bangkok - Part II

So in between spending time with these two girls in the Philippines (they were like bookends with Bkk and Siem Reap in the middle) I went to Bangkok and Siem Reap. I arrived in Bkk and took a taxi to my hotel the Adelphi Suites at 6 Sukhumvit Soi 8 (www.adelphisuites.com) The cab driver wanted to charge me 450 bht but I told him to turn on his meter and take the toll hwy. The trip cost 340 bht which included the 50 bht airport surcharge and 75 bht for the toll road. The Adelphi is a beautiful hotel and is only 2 sois from Nana Plaza. It is a very quite hotel. Breakfast was included in the price and they serve a hot breakfast. The room had unlimited free Wifi and an electronic safe. The hotel is guest friendly as I had a Thai female friend (non pro I've known for 7 years but had never met) visit me. They would call and say she's in the lobby and I'd go down and bring her back to my room. The elevator is card secured so that possessive Thai girl you're trying to shake can't show up at your door. Also I never heard any noise through the room walls. I do love the Thai check in service. First off I never tire of walking into my hotel lobby and having 3 beautiful girls at the front desk give me that Thai wai. God I love Thailand!!!



Well during my short time in Bangkok I visited Annie's Massage twice. However I first tried Tulips since it was reviewed so well on this Board. To get there you take the skytrain to Thong Lor station. Proceed to the South (even) side of Sukhuvit to Soi 38 just under the stairway. Anyway I was really excited about trying something new. I walk in and go to the front desk. This place was K-9 Central….. in fact I take that back I don't want to malign man's best friend. This chick comes up from downstairs and she has enough facial base make up to carve my initials in. I said to the front desk guy that I'm gonna check downstairs for myself and check out the talent. OMG about 9 girls not one above a 5 rating. Most looked to be in their late 30's and well used. All of them were again wearing way to much base makeup. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. So I really don't understand what happened that day considering the great reviews this place gets.

So I head back to Annie's. The reason I go to Annie's is strictly for convenience. I would love to try out the other soapy massage parlors but I'm too damn lazy to fight with cab drivers over them trying to get to me a place where they get a cut and I just don't want to sit in that damn Bangkok traffic. Annie's is located basically across the street from Nana Plaza on 18 Sukhumvit Soi 2 - 4. I like the place and I can always find a good looking girl in their fish bowel. It's been about 4 years since I've been in Thailand and they've added an additional level tier to choose from. What I think they did was take the better end looking girls from what used to be a single tier and raise the price for them and the regular girls stayed in the regular line up. I really didn't see anything in the 1700 bht tier that I was interested in so both visits I pulled from the 2500 bht tier. This price gets you two hours with the girl and as many pops as you can muster. I usually am only good for two pops.

Mamasan is telling me how slow it's been in May, and suggests I take two girls. I had already decided before arriving in Thailand that I wanted to try two girls so I was pretty agreeable. I choose Aree (R) 30 years old and Kay, 31 years old (can't remember her name) for 2500 Bht each. We get to the room and they get it ready and start filling the tub. The mamasan told me that Kay liked girls also and I would get a lisbo show. So I snapped some photos and the three of us got into the big tub. I had one in front of me and the other girl was behind me so I just laid back onto her tits. So I'm DFK the one behind me and sucking on her tits while the other is sucking on my Johnson. This goes on for about 15 minutes and then they change positions so that the one who had been sitting behind me is now sucking on my schlong and I'm DFK the other and sucking on her tits. 15 minutes later we get out and they dry me off and the three of us go get on the bed. So for the next 75 minutes we have a threesome sex fest. I've got one on my face as I eat her out and the other bb sucking my cock at the same time. We reverse so that each of them can get eaten while they each bb suck my cock simultaneously. Aree sucks me BBBJCIM. I don't know if she swallowed or spit as the other one was sitting on my face, and I couldn't see but Aree didn't leave the bed after she sucked me off. Both of these girls gave a good BBBJ but Aree was better at it. I then started playing porn movie director and had them suck each other's tits. Then I had Kay go down on Aree while I watched and started sucking on Aree's tits. Damn…. watching this was hot and I was getting hard again. I then lined them up doggy style next to each other and started taking turns fucking them doggy style. First Aree then Kay then repeated this again. I did switch condoms between each switch so I was ripping through my supply. I finally dumped my load into Kay since Aree had taken my first load for herself. The three of us then went back to the bathtub and they washed me and then themselves. I gave them each 600bht for a tip (I never know what the correct amount is but they were a lot of fun) and we went back to the lobby area. The fishbowl was empty and they take me in to have a look. The owner or manager (they said she was a really good boss) came in and offered to take some pictures of the three of us together. I had a fantastic time and accomplished a fantasy that I'd had for awhile.

About three hours later I stopped into Pim Porn for scalp massage (250bht) for 30 minutes it believe and then a full body massage (400 bht) for an hour upstairs. Mi was my masseuse. Mi gave a very good oil massage and then gave me a hand job that was really incredible. The poor thing had to really work at it and had to change hands before I finally blew my third load for the afternoon. She then took me to the shower and washed me. I just love the service you get in Thailand. I gave her a 300 bht tip. Again might have tipped too much but really not sure what to give.

When I returned from Cambodia a few days later I spent the night in BKK so I went back to Annie's. This time I picked Nina also a 2500bht tier girl. I asked about Aree but she was with another customer. I chose Nina a 26 year old, badge P. Most of the 1700 bht girls I wouldn't pick. She was young and cute but didn't compare in techniques to Aree that I had a few days before. She only did close mouth kissing. I did the DATY and she got off. We 69'd (bareback) for awhile and she got me off. We then rested and I fucked her in the usual positions until I got off my second pop
Her oral skills were so so…. she did suck my balls while giving me a BBBJ which was nice.

Part 3 - Siem Reap, Cambodia

My sole purpose for going to Siem Reap was to visit Angkor Wat. This has to be seen. The town itself is very interesting and fun. It is clean and they have great hotels to stay at and a variety of restaurants to choose from. The downtown area is interesting and is of French architect. You've got girls walking around asking you if you want a massage and will give you "a nice boom boom." I didn't really see any girls that struck my interest in the streets.

I stayed at a very nice hotel called City River - www.cityriverhotel.com. It was across a small street from the river that runs through the town. The rooms are large and have an electronic safe, free internet, great water pressure and hot water all the time and are guest friendly. They had a pool on the roof with a small bar next to the pool. They had a legit in-house massage parlor with cute Khmer girls. For example I paid $25 for an hour massage by two girls. No happy ending but still a very nice massage. When I arrived the hotel sent a driver to pick me up at the airport and I ended up hiring him as my driver. For $25 a day (I would give him a $10 tip each day) he drove me to the temple sites, picked me up for dinner, waited for me and then return me to the hotel. He also took me to places to get some female action. He took me to two places:




Top Town: I thought I heard the mamasan say that one hour was $15 dollars and take out was $20. I thought great very reasonable. Fish bowl selection at both places is without the glass. I didn't like the mamasan she was not really helpful in answering questions about the talents of the girls. In the line up there were a couple of girls who were on their cell phones who didn't look interested at all. The girls sit in an open room on chairs that were in a line three deep. You sit in a chair about 10 feet across from them. I picked a girl and went to the counter to pay and was quoted $50. I said no way and left. The rooms were small and dinghy looking and they didn't have a shower in the room.

Soksan Palace (newly reopened after being closed for two months)

Three dance floors and a massage parlor for having sex with the girls. The line up was the same as Top Town but I liked the atmosphere here better. The rooms were nicer and they had showers. The price here was also $50 for an hour so I figured this was the going rate in town and why fight it. They also have take out if you're interested.

Pech a 25 year old very cute and playful spinner apparently picked me by grabbing me and hugging me when I came in. I wanted to see the rooms and she grabbed my hand and took me upstairs to show me. I was taken by her bubbly personality and looks so I said "let's go baby." I paid the $50 and up the stairs we went. She went to bathroom and showered. I had to tell her to shower me…which she did nicely…I dried myself. Turns out her bra were really padded and she had no tits just nipples. Ahhh……okay then…. This place had been closed for two months and she told me no boom boom for two months so she was horny….great my kind of girl. So when I came out of the bathroom he had the TV in the room on and was watching music videos. She started to nibble my nipples and then stopped to watch TV. I told her to turn it off and she giggled and did. Her BBBJ was just so so. I ate her out and she got off. She had very light patch of pussy hair but not too much. She was just sexually immature and wasn't really getting me excited. I couldn't get a full hard on, so I had her suck and jack me off. She then went to clean up and then came out and told me to go wash. When I came out she was getting dressed and it had only been 35 minutes of the 60. So one pop and that's it. All along very playful and cute but just immature. She asked for a tip…I wasn't going to give her one but I gave her 5 bucks anyway and she bowed to me. Damn I love that bow….that's two countries now where they do that.

I then went outside to wait for my driver who had gone to get something to eat. He figured I'd be busy for the full hour. The Mamasan, who was very nice, came out after 5 minutes and took me by the hand back inside to sit in the girl area. She told Pech to sit with me until my driver got back. Pech snuggled up to me as playful as can be.

The girls in Cambodia are cute….. however my advice is to come to SR primarily to see Angkor Wat and then dabble a little on the side with the girls.

I had a fantastic trip with a mixture of pros and non-pros. I appreciate all the advice and trip reports from this site they certainly helped me take this trip from a good experience to a GREAT experience!!

Nice report.

Thanks.

MM

Thank you for sharing an excellent report.

Actually you can take the Skytrain and the subway to get to a large number of major soapies, no taxi necessary. Many of them are very close to stations, particularly on Ratchadaphisek Road.

Great report my friend ,,,lovely ladies !!!

Thanks for the excellant report.

Murasaki,

Actually you can take the Skytrain and the subway to get to a large number of major soapies, no taxi necessary. Many of them are very close to stations, particularly on Ratchadaphisek Road.

Which massage places are you referring too?

Thanks for the report.

Used to be in Cambodia you could get a Viagra knock-off called Veetab. Had the same effect as the real thing when I tried it a few years back. A box cost US$11 or so, and I think it was 20 tabs (50 mg). I'm going back next month, planning on stocking up.

This business of guys on the street hawking V is getting to be a common thing in SEA.

Murasaki is referring to:
Huay Kwang Station: Emmanuelles, hi-Class, Nataree, Caesars, and others too many to list here
Suttisan station: CopaCabana, Poseidon, and others

If you want to tryout the new 5-Star LaBelle, get off at Phetchaburi MRT station.

More economical massage brothel options are located further down Phetchaburi, and must be gotten to by motorbike, bus or taxi (Bangkok Cosy, Evita, Meree, etc).

Do your research on this site: archived postings will answer all your questions

Great report, thanks for sharing.

Wow what a brutal itinerary. I just hate travel days and spening some much time dealig with crappy airports and thrid world ground transports. But that your vacation.

Your second PI girl is really cute in my eye. I have found myself developing a real attraction for the classic Philippine standard of beauty. I am still not attracted to the Samar/Leyte monkey faces that fill AC, but in AC if you look you can find some of the more classic type faces. That resort you posted about looks like a fun romantic spot and is great info.

From Thailand, that 2500 baht tier is looking pretty damn rough. Sorry, IMHO Thailand really couldn't be more overrated in the service and looks you get. Same price will get you much better service and looks in a South China sauna or Melawai 6th floor in Jakarta.

I am sucker for Asian girls with the dimples and nice smile like the one in your Cambodia chapter.

Great job again.

This is a fantastic report with lots of great information for the future traveler. The pictures are great. Your little spinner friend Mae is really hot!! Good job.

In addition to those listed by Zuperfly, you can also get to the Chao Phraya 2, and J-One (Chao Phraya 1) massage parlors by taking the Skytrain to the Phaya Thai station. Detailed instructions for all these places are listed in the massage parlors of Bangkok folder in Discus.

Thanks all for your comments I'm always happy to contribute to the Board. Yes it was an hectic flight schedule but with SEA so close to the Philippines it's hard to not try and cram in a couple of extra countries.

I haven't had a chance yet to use the Cialis yet so I don't know if it's counterfeit. I'll report back to the Board after I try it out. It's sure packaged though professionaly.

Wow, I am going to quit stressing about where to go next and just go wherever TBird visits. He always finds the gold.

Great reporting, bud!

"Wow, I am going to quit stressing about where to go next and just go wherever TBird visits. He always finds the gold"

In that case, we'd better educate our 'Southern Gentleman' friend on a few things before he hurts himself

Let's start with the indoor plumbing:



The outhouse is the one with the wooden seat, next to the water fountain (which happens to be set so low 'cuz it's in Asia.)

Caution should be exercised when negotiating the steps to the tub as the tile can be slippery when wet from your cannonball entrance into the full bath. Just to be extra safe, consider bringing the bunny slippers with the rubber soles.

Kindly refrain from asking the hotel maid staff into how many different origami figures they can make your bathtowels, as this merely reinforces the notion that ALL Western tourists are biscuitheaded nimrods like you.

Sincerely,
DG

Thanks Blissman, I appreciate that vote of confidence. Hopefully we'll meet up in Rio next month and find some new gold. Take care.

Dong Ringo,
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to help me with the mysteries and hazards of this big world.

First, you forget that I am not all that "southern"; I was actually born in NORTH Alabama. It was much later that I moved the west region of god's cuntry. But thanks for the concern.

And if you remember, one of the luxuries that I have enjoyed the last few years is true, state-of-the art plumbing here in Bliss Manor. It was the silver lining that came with the huge toilet explosion and fire a while back. Thank god, we got that fucker put out before it reached the house.

Everything is indoors now. Not to say it has not been without its issues. Remember the toilet bowl water level crisis I faced a couple of years back? I have been to three World Fairs and a goat fucking, but I had never seen anything to like that! Btw, for those of you who were wondering, I DID finally get my museum-quality antique fly rod fished out of the rooftop toilet vent.

Now, Dong, you are funnin' with me about the water fountain thingie. Remember, I have visited Brazil 20+ times. Admittedly, the first time I encountered that hotel bathroom with two butt saucers, I thought they wuz just trying to put on the dog a bit, showing how high-class the place was. When I tried the flush the one on the left, I woulda slagged my shorts if'n I haddint just took a dump. The hell of it, that damn light brown crocadile that I had just built in that bowl simply would not go down the drain. The Allies had less trouble with that fucking Bismark. Anyways, I felt beeholdin to the nice maids for not mentioning it around the hotel, a fellow can get a rep for being just a bit of a hayseed for just six or eight incidents like that. A hotel is sorta like a neighborhood, one place stacked up on another. In retrospect, my idea of covering up the lil brown croc with the bath mat might not have really have been the best idear; I just didn't want to shock them gals with it right off, you know whut I mean? Live and learn, I aways say...

But anyway, I re-examined duh pitcher you posted, and even though it aint a water fountain, that buttwasher AND the shitter are practically inlaid into the floor. I appreciate you pointing that out and I added a transmission fluid funnel on my list of things to pack for trips to Asia.

There were parts of your post that sorta made me think you were poking fun at me and I would not be sharp enough to take notice! Hah! You think I just fell off the turnip wagon??? HELL NO, that happened several months ago, betwinxt getting head butted by a central american bull for new year's and coming down with a 3 month case of the shingles. You know how the old saying goes " You got to get up pretty early in the morning if...uh...hmmm. No, wait. I remember now..."You gotta get up pretty early in the morning or you will come down with worms." Hah! You'n dem udder fuckers think I'm slowin' dowwn a tad. Btw, one symptom of having worms is your butthole chronically itches. Now, I do not want to assume too much, but is it possible that the reason you are so drawn to Asian women with long fingernails
is sooner or later, you will find one who really knows how to scratch you right where it really itches? Funny how nature has a way of taking care of things.

One other thing, Dong, (while I got you on the phone), during your most recent trip to Asia did you happen to run into my neighbor "Bammer"? He said there is all sorts of folks roamin' around Asia these days, but he kept talking about this one guy he described as one crazy, wart-encrusted Canuck! Bammer said the guy would fuck anything that slowed down. He also said the guy was sort of a sentimental, generous soul. Bammer said that the guy loved his wife so much that he sent her huge amounts of money even though theay ain't married no more. Right den and dere, your name came to mind, Dong.

Anyway, thanks for thanking about me, boy, and looking out for me as I fumble my way around this big ole wurld. You can be a genuine pain in the ass but we'uns all still love you. Warts and all...

DG, who ratted me out about the bunny slippers?

It's not cool to make fun of bunny slippers!

Hi,

About Mae you wrote,

"...And even though she knows I will never marry her or bring her to the States, at this point, she is quite happy waiting for my return trip to see her."

How do you win the heart of these girls? Do you give them money? I have met these girls online and they tell me to come visit them but they have one thing in common ... they all want money.

Please share your secret.

Thank you

Sorry, another question,

When you departed from Tess and Mae, did they ask you what you were going to be doing for the rest of your stay? What did you say? Any tactics you want to share, please do.

AndresB, I sent you an off line message concerning your questions.

Smitopher, just an update on the Cialis I bought from the street slugs in Makati. So far the first box I've opened up this weekend seems to have the same potent effect as the Cialis I buy here in the States. I bought about 5 boxes so we'll see how the rest works. My thinking is even if half of this stuff works I'm still money ahead. :-) Take care.

While the possible efficacy of Street purchased boner pills is not disputed, I'm not using them. ANYTHING that uses deception in its marketing is best avoided. The few bucks saved for a two week supply, ($140 vs. $20) is immaterial to a two week trip budget ($4,000 to $8,000)

You are purchasing criminally manufactured contraband. You are consuming a DRUG manufactured in clandestine and unregulated home brew process whose concern about SAFETY and efficacy is nil. "But I save enough for FOUR barfines"? Fuck that noise, barfines are not a budget buster. What is the lost opportunity cost if a bum pill makes your trip go to shit? Hint, you lose MORE than money.

If you must, purchase the Indian generics from a legit pharmacy. You are not supporting a criminal operation, you have a much higher degree of confidence in the integrity of the drug, AND, it will likely be the same cost as the street contraband.
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. I will soon be spending some significant time in SEA and far too long just for AC.

(Message edited by smitopher on September 27, 2009)

Smit, sounds like you're a big believer in the honesty of the FDA.

Snake oil is still openly sold in 90% of the world. If the snake oil ACTUALLY WORKED, there'd probably still be 1% wondering "will I grow a third nipple if I use this stuff?".

And re: math, 2 boxes of street Cialis in AC will cost less than 300 pesos, and at the rate of a half a pill ever day and a half, means that a two week supply would cost about 6 bucks, not 20. If you feel good and want to pay a premium because the original manufacturer won the FDA game, good for you.

So does having a bit more faith in a government agency than a criminal enterprise make me a rube?

Boner pills are one of the kind of products that just BEG to be counterfeited. Counterfeit can be harmless. Sildenafil citrate pills do not cost $15 per pill to make, but even the savings with your figures do not make a compelling case for buying street V and C.

The BIGGEST risk is the potential for "lost opportunity". If the street stuff was FREE and Costco was $15 a pill for 100mg V, $105 is a two week supply. My airfare alone is $2200. Hotel is $1500. Food, lady drinks and Incidentals is another $2000. BAR FINES, the whole point of this thing, $1000.

$105 is LESS THAN TWO PERCENT of my budget.

What is the cost of ONE DUD? It IS NOT THE MONEY FOR THE PILL. It is wasting a precious opportunity for boinkage like a teenage rock star. I work hard, I want the work I do to be worth the fun I have when I go on a trip, the time and number for which is limited.

The best way to mitigate the risk? Buy from the supply chain with the highest degree of trust of delivering what you think you are buying.

Yea, For ME, The FDA blessing of the V or C that I get at Costco means a bit more than it does for you or IAS or anyone else that would buy a drug from a street beggar.

Does the FDA ever lie in the service of politics?
YES
Does the FDA ever lie in the service of Drug manufactures?
I will not say no.
Does the Chinese mafia or street touts give a rats ass about what they are selling?
NO FUCKING WAY.

So CALL ME A RUBE. When I can buy generics from a supply chain that does not need to break the law to sell me something, I'll be all over it.

Nice pictures of toilets. What is that second toilet in the right for ???

That's a bidet, guy.

Used for washing the genital and anal areas.

Thank you guys. I have never used one of those (live in the US). Just used plain shower.
