However, while it’s all well and good to have rules concerning the nature of discourse on a web forum, it’s going over the line to suggest someone else should follow a set of “rules†concerning their own personal behavior. You live your life and I’ll live mine, thank you.
And since society (at least here in the U.S.) has evolved in a way that our basic needs are not well accommodated, we should not in any way feel ashamed about going to a foreign country and engaging in sex-for-pay to see they are met. It’s all consensual, and as long as you treat the girls with courtesy and respect, where is the harm done? So, if I’ve now somehow diminished myself in the eyes of the gringa I discussed this with, that’s her problem to deal with, not mine.
On the contrary,
"rules" concerning our behavior is one great thing and purpose of this board, i.e.: some gringos have no clue about behaving like a gentleman in CR and make us all look bad. You have guys here with decades of experience freely offering their experience and advice, if you choose to let it go in one ear and out the other that's your choice, buena suerta.
Lee's "rules" were obviously common sense suggestions and IMO great ones to follow, your friends may not always be your friends and this type of info is the very first thing they will use to slander you.
And sure we don't feel ashamed about our escapades, especially if we follow the "rules" of a gentleman there is nothing to be ashamed of. But to expect the rest of the world, especially gringas to share in your carefree atittude about the hobby is absurd and out of touch with reality to say the least.
