When you begin to gather information about the sex market in
Thailand, you can't avoid running across numerous warnings about ladyboys: how
there are so many of them and how they are so difficult to detect.
"Ladyboy" is a common term for transvestites and
transsexuals. Transvestites are men who wear women's clothes, and apparently
many of them pose as women in Thailand and woo tourists, so they would take
them back into their hotel room – only to discover that what they thought was a
girl has a penis. Transsexuals are persons who were born male but later chose
to undergo sex-change surgery. From what I've read, they have
surgically-constructed vaginas that can actually be fucked, although they don't
get wet, and there is supposedly a slight risk of rupturing the thing when the
penis is too big or the fuck too intensive.
On almost all photos, ladyboys look very obviously
non-women. However, I remember a photo of a naked girl whom I would have never
suspected, yet the person who had posted the photo claimed that the person on it was a
ladyboy.
When I went to Thailand for the first time, I was very
cautious about it. Before I took a girl back to my hotel, I stuck a hand into
her panties regardless of her protests to make sure she had a vagina and not a
penis. As to transsexuals, I found myself agreeing with one writer who said
that if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then
he'll just treat it as a duck. I decided that when a person looks like an
attractive woman, talks like an attractive woman and acts like an attractive
woman, I don't care if he or she is a sex changer or not. I will fuck him or
her and not worry about it. After all, it's the nice body that matters,
not its ability to produce children.
As to the supposed difficulty of detection, one mustn't
forget that transsexuals have only their genitals and breasts altered, not
their throats or arms. Regardless of the silicone breasts and such, there is a good chance that the
voice should give them away, and regardless of them having learned to walk like
women, their manly muscles still have a good chance to make them look
unattractive to us.
However, there is this weird thing – I have seen white women
back home and in other white countries whose faces look very much like Thai
ladyboys to me. Their percentage is especially large among beauty pageant
contestants. In the distant past when I still watched those, I often found
myself wondering how could any man find such women beautiful. Women I saw
looking out of my window were on average clearly prettier than those tall and big girls especially chosen as suitable candidates for the titles of
beauty queens. To make it absolutely clear – I am not talking about fat ugly dykes here. I am talking about women who are generally very stylish and attractive to many men, but tall and with crude mask-like faces. (To give you an idea what I mean – look at the porn models
Sandee Westgate and Priya Rai. They have obviously female genitals, and I have
no reason to suspect that they weren't born female, yet their faces look
repulsively unfeminine to me, as does the large size of their bodies.)
Anyway, on my second trip to Thailand, I had this curious
experience. I was walking along Sukhumvit Road, and there was another one of
those places where girls stand on the sidewalk and do all they can to awake
your interest. One of the girls gently grabbed my arm and addressed me, as
girls do. When I looked at her, I not only found I didn't particularly fancy
her – I also had a strange feeling that something was wrong. Anyway, I happened
to be on my way to somewhere else, so I walked on. A little later it occurred
to me that those girls were unusually tall for Thai women. Also they had faces
like those big blatantly unfeminine chicks back home. So they
might well have been ladyboys, I realised. The point I am trying to make is this – while I don't know what they had in their panties, I do know they didn't look like
anything I'd ever want to fuck.
I also had my suspicions about a quite normal-looking,
petite girl I took from a go-go bar in Angeles. When I was inserting my penis
into her vagina, she began to wail and protest like she was in pain or
something, and she adjusted her position and I tried it again, and again she
wouldn't let me, and so we continued until I lost my erection and she gave me a
blowhandjob. (I rewarded her with a correspondingly small tip.) Also she acted
in a strangely dominant and aggressive way with the other girl. So she might
have been a transsexual. Again, I have no way of knowing for sure.
Those two are the closest encounters I have personally had
with ladyboys. Need I tell you that I stopped worrying about the ladyboy danger
eventually? So I was mildly amused when a friend of mine told me this story. I knew his grown-up son
who had moved to Australia after school. He was still living there, and the two
of them decided to have a holiday together in Thailand. My friend told me how
he took a woman into his hotel room and he or she turned out to have a penis.
And he said there were several occasions when a woman caught his fancy and his
son was like: "Get real, dad, that's a man!"
The point is, some men (such as my friend's son and myself) seem to be able to easily tell ladyboys from actual women, and some men just can't.

That story, along with that beauty pageant weirdness I
mentioned, brought me to the realisation that many white men are apparently
attracted to tall big women with rough unfeminine faces. That is why such women
keep scoring high in beauty contests and that is why some men keep ending up with penissed girls in their hotel rooms.
Another thing about that buddy of mine: I have noticed how
he keeps getting mildly gay when drunk – not outright touching, but brushing
against me all the time, and generally getting uncomfortably into what I
perceive as my private space. Whenever I try to move away by 20-30 cm, he just
moves closer, apparently not aware of it himself. Apart from that private space
thing, he has never shown the slightest sign of homosexuality. The way he
talks, sober or drunk, he is a staunch hetero. Married and a
repeat adulterer, for that matter.
Could it be that the men who fall for ladyboys fail to
recognise them as such because, subconsciously, they don't want to?
Could it be that they sense the male pheromones naturally
secreted by the ladyboys' bodies, and that turns them on (as well as turns men
like me off)?
The suppressed homosexuality hypothesis does not explain the
popularity of tall stone-faced white women. It is therefore likely that the primary reason for the ladyboy-gullibility syndrome remains the affected men's yearning
for a big strong woman taking care of them (in other words, a substitute
mother), while subconscious homosexual tendencies enhance the effect in some cases.
