I gave no prior warning to Mr.Luxembourg of what could be expected within the confines of Obsession,yet as we approached from a distance I could see the exagerated hairflicking of 2 ladyboys positioned in front of the bars velvet curtain entrance way...Would Mr.Gucci notice the difference?.....The paler skin,the husky voices,their larger shoulders and narrower hips.....And their overexcitable reaction at our imminent arrival over their threshold! Scuttling us through the curtain,a swarm of yacking,pawing and preening katoeys enveloped us, much like hyenas on a carcass..... If Mr.Low countries had any idea of the fact that these chicks had dicks, then he was not telling,he remained tight-lipped. In fact from his swagger he was positively in raptures.
We had been greeted like rock stars, or David Beckham stripping to bare all.....
As we took our seats, it seemed the whole bar was giving us their undivided attention...all the 'girls' on the centrally placed stage jiggling and waving, to the overloud sounds of unfamiliar Thai pop, taxing the woefully inadequate club sound system beyond its limits.
Of course a waitress approached for us to make an order,sweet jesus ...even she was a he....Mr.Burg dispensed with the usual Singha and directly ordered himself a large JD.He could hardly contain himself as I enquired if this place was more to his liking.....Yes.....so much more life,self awareness,so much more catwalk,so much more style magazine....so much more of everything....Why were not all the bars in Bangkok like this?.....
I didn't yet have the heart to tell him....that yes these 'girls' had soooo much more to offer than your typical Thai bar girl!
As our drinks arrived , so did more 'girls', those finishing their stint on stage jockeying for position, both in front of our seats,behind and at each of our sides....Tentative touches of our legs,faces and arms. And not so tentative prods at our genital regions.
It can be argued that the Ladyboy offers the best of both sexes, the slimmer,longer legs,the larger artificial breast and the absolutely direct male approach to sex contained in the frame of a 'female' body.The opposite could be debated,the worst of both sexes,vanity, aggression, a female with a penis..no use nor ornament!
Myself I have no particular axe to grind, nor penis in need of penetration here.
I see them as a spectacle,a curiosity,a tourist attraction peculiar to Thailand.Not a thing of a sexual attractiveness and certainly not an object of desire ,to be taken to the moth eaten gloom of my shabby room in soi 6!
No my interest lies in 2 directions,as a voyeur into an alien world and secondly, generally a much higher intellect,which is so much more refreshing than your average Isaan chick.Basically to be that fucked up,to change your body by all means possible, from your allocated birthday sex to that of another.....requires some imagination,guts and intelligence.....Overall they can be great fun to talk to in a bar situation....just don't take them home!!!!
Mr.Benelux it seemed had other ideas! |
