Every Westerner who comes to Japan hears about the famous Love Hotels. Metered by the hour, you drive into a hidden entrance, pay for your room via an intercom, and receive a key through a sliding tray. Total discretion allows no interaction with any other person, apart from the one you are with. Some Love Hotels have theme rooms; the bridge on the Starship Enterprise, a simulated moving train, or the jonjon of a Shogun's castle. These cost extra of course.

One night, I tried out a Love Hotel with a yellow cab girlfriend. Along with mirrors on the ceiling and a heart shaped bed, there was a radio that featured over a hundred musical selections from cable stations. Scanning through the stations, I came across odd sounds of background office chatter and train commotion, complete with trains pulling and letting commuters off. Confused, I asked my girlfriend who would possibly want to listen to these kinds of stations.

"Oh those", she replied, "they are for unfaithful husbands calling home to tell the wife he will not be home until late."

I spent a few days at a place in Belize called the Maruba Resort and Jungle Spa. It was in this lush rain forest setting. My room had a real leopard skin spread, and there were candles burning all over, and they would drop rose petals everywhere. It was sort of tropical and primitive. There was a guy worked there (whose name I cannot for the life of me remember). He would flirt with me, but I wasn't planning on doing anything with him. But then the last night, he was like "Do you want a massage?" It started out as a regular massage ... and he took it from there. I didn't even have to kiss him. It was a totally satisfying experience. It was so amazing. It was the kind of thing that you can get away with when you are traveling.

I was washing dishes and short-order cooking in a strip club in Israel. There was a waitress named Sarit - an Iraqi Jew who had emigrated to Israel - who was really cute. Shoe barely knew English, so we would speak a mixture of Hebrew and English. The first time we fooled around was on a picnic table in the middle of the beach. She was sort of sitting on top of me, and I could see the starts encircling her face, and her shirt was half open. We were right off the Mediterranean Sea. It was beautiful. It was just great. That moment would have been great anywhere, but it was much better because I was in Israel, I was with this girl, and we were fooling around 50 feet from the Mediterranean.

My friend and I were taking trains around Europe, and for a few days we met up with her parents. Every day we would ski with them, and by the end of the day we would have to race down the slope to make happy hour. It was a decadent resort town, with a really chi-chi disco night life. At night we'd go eat schnitzel with her parents, and then afterwards we would go out and drink and dance with all these gorgeous Euro-ski bums. I kept dancing with an American guy named Al, who was a ski guide. Our last night there, after the bar closed, we all went sledding on the hill behind the bar, and Al and I were making out in the snow, and then went back to his room and had a one night stand. My friend and I left the next day.
