Have you ever travelled hoping to have a sexual liason?

You sure got me there...!

Yeah, yeah... I do confess...

And it wasn't just a starry night...
There were gazillions of them...
Right up there...
So close n yet so far...
The stars, I meant...
And so was she actually...
So very close n yet so far...
And every few minutes...
A shooting star would zip past into oblivion...
I doubt there could have been a better romantic setting...
And it had just been a few hours since I'd met her...

Nostalgia...
Sigh...!

Cheers...!

Having an 'encounter' in Zambia? You would end up very, very sick indeed.

Did you find anyone really attractive there? (Just curious )

What a beautiful picture: a gazillion stars all working for you and then the moment slips away...

The story of all our lives...

had a torrid monsoon -to- christmas affair with a Scottish student of Tibetan medicine up in the himaslayas a long while back. That was the lone encounter in a lifetime of traveling in India.
since I spend my peak years in the great state of California, looking elsewhere was hardly necessary

I do love picking up (as it were) IndiaMike
when I get a break from crossing continents.
Well, a continent, Europe. This title does
indeed sum it up, and in more ways than one.

I've travelled everywhere hoping not to find
a relationship, one at a time being sufficient
for me. But - have I ever travelled hoping to
find a sexual liason? Fuck, yeah. I'm getting
ready for my retirement (retirement, right, my
diary has never been so full) which is going to
be one long round of travels and sexual liasons
(it says here). Sure (sick bags ready, youngsters?),
at my age any sexual liasons are more a happy
result of oral stimulation than of physical
attraction (on both sides). Nothing pleases
a woman, women, of a certain age more than being
talked into bed, in my experience. Younger women
(think relatively here, dear readers), less inclined
to, so to speak, swallow a line, are nevertheless
often enough (relatively!) susceptible, once they've
checked out the quality of the style, and (being
honest) the quantity of the bank account. I got back
from France last night, and there were a couple of
women in the frame on my week-long trip, but, no time,
no luck, alas. There was a rather sweet young thing
on the ferry yesterday, a Belgian girl, on her way to
join one or other merchant bank in the City. We drank
coffee and amused each other with rude descriptions of
our fellow passengers. When we parted she asked for my
number. She said her dad was coming over in a couple of
weeks, he'd love to meet me.

Only 2 liasions and of them 1 ending in marriage, that pretty sums up India! India is hardly any better than Middle East or other Islamic country when it comes to sex. Nick sure learned the game, otherwise, u r lucky even if u r able to speack with some girl.

But, for girls looking for man, it is a different story - u vl hv lotsa them available. Just one word of caution - try to avoid those eve teasing men on Road.

Whew! That's a relief, but how disappointing for you.

Maybe the South is easier, at least for speech, if not for more. I have made friends in almost every shop I visit regularly, some of the smiles I have exchanged in shops and on the street have been markedly flirtatious, and much more openly so than I would encounter regularly in London. But yes, it would be a big step from there to anything else, quite possibly including marriage, or alternatively a very unwelcome meeting with some uncles and brothers.

For those who like the idea, do please stop to consider wht your relationship with the inlaws may be. I would have had nothing against marrying into a poor family as such, but the reality might well have been supporting an ever widening circle. It only takes one lazy brother with a liking for alcohol to make a major impact on life with your pretty girl.

You are also likely to encounter strict adherence to traditions such as a girl being no-way available until after her elder sisters are married*.

Oh, and a widowed/divorced mother shouldn't marry again unless her daughters are wed; this is something that merits serious social disapproval!




*Not to mention the many, many families who would indeed be horrified by wrong caste, wrong religion, wrong race.

brand new here, though have enjoyed reading threads on this site for some time now.. this thread prompted me to join, and tell my little story..
I'm hardly a 'veteran' of India, if there's such a thing, but this year I returned, having not been for eighteen years.
Not expecting to have a 'liason', sexual or otherwise, I met someone special..He's from a Rajput family, near Jodhpur. we've become close, and it's been pretty amazing and enlightening, learning about the traditions of his family, the history, and at the same time, I'm getting my head around the potential mine field that lies ahead, in continuing with our relationship. I'm sure I don't have to spell out how his family felt when he returned to his village and told his father, who's a strict military man in the Indian army, that he's become involved with a 'foreigner' and now doesn't want to 'marry' into his tradition..I guess that leaves me open to criticism, it seems that the worst thing you can be is a 'white western woman' these days! I didn't even know what my own prejudices were until this all came about, so not exactly prepared to deal with those of everybody elses, mostly to do with age, and race..I think I've been reading too many forum threads on the net..
at the risk of sounding nauseatingly cheesy, I'll say that his faith, tempers my western cynism. I find it so refreshing that he doesn't even recognise what that is, though i've tried to explain it!
It all gets pretty heavy, pretty quick, when families, friends and other people start getting involved, and I'd say that's moreor less from the beginning in my case!
I've just had an invite to meet his parents, at their home, in Pali (Jodhpur area'ish). I am more than chuffed at this, and also on finding out after some discussion, his family have decided to give us both the 'benefit of the doubt', for now. I've really had to check myself, and my intentions, it's no bad thing for a woman who has thrown caution to the wind so much in the past..
So soon, I'll be heading back to India, to begin my camel trek across the desert to meet them..... (just kidding, I'm defo not the type to do something so remarkable!)
so, not making any points here, but really just saying hi to all, and also wld be good to hear other peoples' tales..
(by the way, its spose to be jewel-in-the dust..typing error!)
