Korean Quickie – “Venus” – Sex, Smiles, And Dating In Korea (Vol. 3)
I fell in love in Korea. It turned to shit, as love affairs tend to do. I wrote about the painful thing a few months ago specifically for a publication that later rejected it, so I thought this would be a good place for it. This is the last volume in Sex, Smiles, and Dating in Korea. I hope you like it better than some unnamed editor did. Please comment if you do.

“Venus”
We fucked the first night we met, and it was pretty good.
Neither of us were looking for anything serious. What it boiled down to was that everyone has needs, and it’s hard to get those needs met in a foreign country where men perm their hair and women want to get married before they’re twenty-two.

Korean Quickie – Sex, smiles, and dating in Korea (vol. 2)
So this is the second, shorter, and less sexual segment of the three volume series of shorts under the title Sex, Smiles and Dating in Korea. Though no sex actually happens it’s still a great/fun read. I hope you enjoy, and leave a comment if you do.

It was a totally new building with glass walls and a wonderful view of the woodsy campus behind the main school building. I sat inside this new cafeteria with six other teachers who, because of the new lunch schedule that accompanied the new building, weren’t used to eating with me – the foreigner. I ate kimchi and occasionally sniffed the queer smelling chemical scents given off by the building materials.

Korean Quickie – Sex, Smiles, and Dating in Korea (Vol. 1)
This is the first part in a series of shorts about, you guessed it, sex, smiles and dating in Korea. I only have one other story in mind, but I may add others. These stories are real, but I make no apologies for the lies that they contain. Writers are lies and can’t be trusted.

Me and a co-worker of mine started taking Muay Thai classes in April. His name is Mr. 김(Kim) and since I arrived last December he’s taken to the idea of being my older brother – my 형님. He wants to give me advice and expose me to Korean culture. It was Mr. 김(Kim) who told me about the Muay Thai gym.
I find the relationship to be a bit overwhelming sometimes, but he means well and I’m thankful for the attention and the free dinners he sometimes takes me out to.

This is a piece of prose poetry that I wrote after spending time with a woman I liked a lot. The night ended in me being frustrated with myself and the beginning of a writing spree that continues today. Thank you my muse. Muah! Right on the left check.

At thirteen years old I had my first date…
I can’t tell you the exact age when the mechanical genius of the penis and vagina clicked in my mind, but I would guess it to be around nine. By nine I had an eye for the penthouse my cousin kept under his mattress; I was fast forwarding R rated movies to the sex scenes; I leered at all women, homely and beautiful, and imagined them naked and lying on top of me. A Playboy got me a call to my parents in the fourth grade.
… At thirteen years old I was a virgin and not at all happy about it. My older brother knew some of the cool kids my age that lived in the neighborhood and found out what girl my age was fucking the cool kids, in and out of my neighborhood. He arranged for us to meet up, as we did, on a cloudy weekday…
I decided to start seeing women seriously when I was nineteen. I convinced myself that I liked a co-worker whom I had nothing in common with. As a consequence we went on a miserable date. The film we saw changed my life, but I couldn’t talk to her about it because I didn’t think she would understand.
Nudist dating: A facebook chat excerpt
This is what I thought was an interesting excerpt of a facebook chat I had with a friend. How would nudist living change dating?

She: Would u really walk around naked in the summer?
Me: lol. Hell no. I don’t like jail.
She: Oh… I forgot that was a crime…LOL
Me: it certainly is. Korean society is not advanced enough to appreciate the beauty of the human body in it’s natural state. lol. plus no one wants to see a naked ajoshi. Certainly not me.
She: It’s true… Korean people are weird about that stuff… but so is America as a whole.
Me: Yeah… I wonder though. How would dating practices change in a nudist society?
