The Dangers Of Assumptions (2)

[PeterRS]

SInce @Enchanted_Elixir is determined to continue this argument and since so few readers based in Thailand had obviously read the original posts, let's recall precisely what was written - using what he calls the "shocking" Search Engine, which is anything but. The relevant thread is The Dangers of Columbia which was started on May 25 2025 by @neygar. The basis of the thread was Dangers and related specifically to sexual adventures.

Hallelujah!!  I thank you for saying this, as this is also my exact philosophy, and is the primary reason as to why I have not yet ventured to some of these South American countries. 

I truly do not enjoy any experience where the hairs on my neck or arms feel the need to stand up - it is just not worth it, if I cannot relax and enjoy the environment that I am in, - especially as an elderly retiree, with who knows how many years are remaining in my life - why accelerate the eventual end by venturing into a perhaps dangerous situation??  Life is already too short.

I responded on the same date -

Merely out of curiosity, is sex an essential part of your travelling? I spent a fabulous month travelling around four South American countries and sex was rarely on my mind. It was a fabulous trip and I saw so many natural wonders.The only time sex came into view was on arrival in Cuzco in Peru. With the short 45 minute flight taking you from sea level to almost 3,500 meters up, everyone told me to do virtually nothing for the first 5 hours while the body acclimatized. For a while I lay on the bed reading, then got bored and hit a couple of apps. Ended up chatting to a delighful student who worked in a bar in the centre of the city in the evenings. He was keen to meet, so the next evening I went for a drink. He was lovely, was obviously well known to the other bar staff and so he came back to my room for a short time. Lovely little interlude! 

In response to a question from @floridarob about my age when I travelled around South America, I replied on 5/27/25

 

60. I do go on other trips where sexual adventures are part of the agenda. For South America, the only reason was sightseeing. I had never been before, knew no-one and spoke hardly any Portuguese or Spanish. 9 cities/locations and 16 flights over a month (including 4 getting there and back) and each day was packed with activity. No time for anything else - except in Cuzco which was a complete although very pleasant surprise!

 

This was the response made by @bkkmfj2648 a day later on 5/28/2025 -

 

Dear @PeterRS, Your condescending question, framed as a mere curiosity, carries an unmistakable whiff of superiority, as if the pursuit of physical intimacy while traveling is somehow beneath the refined appreciation of culture you so clearly pride yourself on. It’s a tired trope, implying that those who acknowledge sex as part of their human experience are somehow less enlightened or incapable of savoring the world’s deeper offerings. This condescension, cloaked in intellectualism, betrays a rather narrow view—one that dismisses the complexity of human connection in favor of a self-congratulatory asceticism . . . 

It was your choice when you went on your South American tour to not have sex.  For myself, I don't like these types of limitations - as it is often sex with the locals of a country that you are visiting that allow you to have genuine connections and experiences with the local community.

I close by asking you to STOP making condescending remarks towards my person in this forum!!!

Readers can easily go to the thread in question to check the acuracy of what I have written. I then question readers -

1. How my question condescending?

2. Where is the "whiff of superiority", the more so as I stated I had had sex in Cuzco?

3. Given 2. above, where is the "beneath the refined appreciation of culture"?

4. As i stated, I did have sex in South America. @bkkmfj2648 was wrong in his statement.

4. Where is the "self-congratulatory asceticism"?

5. In my response to @floridarob in this thread as written above, I had very clearly made the point as many readers are aware that "I do go on other trips where sexual adventures are part of the agenda."

So what on earth prompted these "condescending remarks" about me from @bkkmfj2648 ? And what reason did @bkkmfj2648 have for posting what was a diatribe against me?
