I've known about that particular sexual practice since the 70's when a very talented comicbook artist, Vaughn Bode died in a similar manner. As much as Mabi rails against organized religion as doing so much evil in the world, I still think sex has done far worse. It causes damage on both an individual/personal level and on a global level with regard to affecting politics. (Where would Napoleon have been without Josephine?) AIDS/HIV is directly related and has caused massive devastation.
I can understand taking charge of your life and making a conscious decision to end it for compelling reasons. I can understand euthanasia when no medical treatment is possible. I may not agree with either of those kinds of decisions, but I can understand. To die because you are driven by sex to choose a risky way to satisfy one's self, is far worse to me. JMHO of course.
I still think there is more to the story and maybe a prostitute was involved and the Thai government is covering that up. It seems possible at least.
