Two Girls For Every Boy

I don't want to call today a wasted day - but it's not. It's Saturday, August 20, 1991. I'm in Thailand with my mother, and we're here for two more days before we go to Japan where I am just starting my second year as a junior high school English teacher. My mom is visiting from Toronto, Canada.
So far, along with seeing some amazing sites, I have spent some quality time with a couple of Thai women. Quality time, if you consider having sex a way to spend quality time... with I do. The fact that each knows I am screwing the other doesn't bother them. Each is content knowing that they are spending 'quality' time with me, that doesn't get in the way with the other. Each knows I am only here for a short time, a good time, but not a long time. And that is okay.

It's a far cry from my life in Japan, which seems to be getting a lot more free with the sex, but a lot more complicated with life.

I wonder how I'm going to go back to my home town of Ohtaewara-shi, Tochigi-ken, Japan with my mother in tow. She'll be staying with me, as will my friend John (also visiting from Toronto). Then there's Karen (from North Bay, Canada), another assistant English teacher on the JET (Japan Exchange & Teaching) Programme (like myself), who is interested in having me as her boyfriend or confidante or something. W#ho knows. She only just arrived in Japan a week ago, and has already told her bosses that she and I were married but now divorced. My bosses will have a field day with that, as I'm sure the rumours are running rampant back in Ohtawara. Obviously, I was never married to Karen, nor had I even met her prior to a week ago.
My ex-girlfriend Ashley is now back in the U.S. for a short vacation to recover from our relationship. After breaking up because she said she needed more space... IE, that I was crowding her (even though she would come to my apartment five times a week as she wished), she and I got back together in a friends with benefits relationship... that's sex without the regard for dating... I think it al;so means I can boink whomever I want.... but when she meets Karen, will there be trouble?  
I have no idea why I get involved with wacky women. I know it's not just a North American thing, either. Just prior to Ashley and I getting back together, I was stalked by an absolutely drop-dead gorgeous Japanese university student named Junko. She nearly dropped out of university to spy on me, and to spend more time with me. She was only supposed to be in my town for a week, as part of an internship to learn about teaching methods. I guess I taught her some things she liked. I tried to pretend I was gay... or rather bi-sexual to get her to leave me alone. That didn't really work... so I finally confided to one of the Japanese teachers of English I work with who made a call and told me it would be taken care of. Later that night after Junko came to visit me, she was intercepted and taken back home to her mom where I assume she received some medical attention for her mental anguish. It's too bad she was a little too obsessed with me, because she was otherwise an ideal partner... one that I could spend the rest of my life with.
Aside from my office knowing about Junko, and an English teacher or two, none of my friends in JET know about the trials and tribulations I had with her. It's too bad... if we were ever able to leave the confines of my bedroom, I'm sure everyone would have been impressed with her as a whole.
So... when I get back to Japan in two days... I'll have my mom and John staying with me... Karen trying to stay with me... and perhaps Ashley back from the U.S.
My second year in Japan is going to be so screwed up, that it makes me consider staying here in Thailand.
I mean... I have Tookta and Boon-mee who are enjoying my company without any jealousy... can I expect things to go as smoothly back in Japan? And what if I meet someone back there that I really want? Like Shoko? She and I have been trying to get together as a couple for months now. She wants me for herself, and won't care for the friends with benefits arrangement I have with Ashley... and will either of them put up with Karen. Will my mom put with any of them? And wither John?

So... I have a lot on my mind today, as my mom and I spend the day walking about Bangkok taking in the shopping. It's hot out - 38Celsius... and if I wasn't dropping some calories from the spicy food or the copius amounts of sex, the heat is doing a number on me, too. Everything is hot in Thailand!

Maybe it's because I'm with my mother, but nearly every woman I pass on the street gives me the eye... not the stink eye, but rather they 'hey, let's do it here in the street eye'. I really must check out more of Asia to see whether it's Thailand or me.

I buy a few VCR tapes... man I hope they work back in my machine in Japan (hint... they don't!)

Back at the hotel, I shower, watch some television, and wait for Boon-mee to get off work as a security guard at the hotel entrance. I meet her at 6:15PM, we head out to her place where she already has dinner prepared. She had her mom come over and cook for us - and leave before we got there. Now that is time management. I'm into time management first, so I convince her we should have sex first before we eat (it only took a single kiss to convince her). We eat naked, and then do it again and again.

We shower together and do it again.

You know... I'm re-reading my diary as I type this, and even I can't believe I did this so many times. I can't believe I'm going out again at 1AM (two hours from now) to meet up with Tootka (after she gets of work at the hotel - she's a waitress) so we can do what I'm doing with Boon-me.

Boon-me knows I'm seeing Tookta soon, and gives me a couple of mangoes to eat. This stuff is like an aphrodisiac. I'm ready for action. Boon-me walks me back to the hotel, kisses me and says she will see me tomorrow... our evening together.

As I walk up to the restaurant, Tookta is coming out dressed to the 9s. She wanst to go dancing with me. Thank goodness I don't have to have sex with her yet... but half-way to the dance club, we stop off at her place and, well, you know what I did. I'm a bad boy.

In fact... we never make it to the dance club, as we decide that what we are doing is far more enjoyable... as she is quite impressed by my stamina... that I can go for a few hours with finishing. That's because I don't have any liquid left in my body!

We only go to bed at 4AM, and get up at 6AM after she says she felt something poking her in the back.It was actually my knee, but what the heck... I'm up.

We dress and leave her place at 7AM. We smell of sex... and I think  everyone we pass knows it, as they turn and smile at us in our disheveled dressy clothes. We stop for a bite to eat at a breakfast cart (it's spicy! - why is everything so effin' spicy?!), and then we kiss with our lips on fire. Just then, Boon-mee walks by and says hello to us.

They then talk to each other in Thai for a few fast seconds, smiling all the time, and occasionally look towards me before continuing. Aside from all of the amazing sex, I am so relaxed in Thailand. The women said they were cool with me seeing another, but to actually see them chatting nicely - it's awesome. I expected kickboxing or hair-pulling at least.

Instead, they both walked me back to the hotel, each gave me a pationate kiss and a bum grope and said they would see me tonight.

I go back into my hotel room and collapse in sheer delight and exhaustion and sleep for two hours before my mother wakes me up so we can get on with our tour.

Somewhere enjoying my wasted day,

PS: Tomorrow I'm visiting the Bridge Over The River Kwai! I'll split the day up over two blogs... because it's an awesome day, and an even better night. I know... even I'm getting excited and can't stop whistling the theme song from the movie.
