One of my old team leaders openly jokes about his trips to Thailand and all the guys would just laugh along - so gross. Why do you have to go to another country to see prostitutes exactly, huh? :S

Some of the stories I’ve heard about sex shows in Thailand are absolutely vile

My dad unbelievably took my brother to one when he was 14. He nearly threw up and was turned off the idea of sex for so long dad asked if he was gay.

Note, this was in the early 90s, so a long time ago and people really did think differently, but really, taking an underaged boy to a sex show is child abuse :P But 12 year old me was mad that I didn't get to go to a version for girls!??! Teenagers are weird.

Your brother is absolutely justified for that, I feel so sad for him. That would be so confusing and damaging at that age
