Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places 

Dear Audrey,
My life has been different. I had had different relationships in different countries with different women. As the time goes by, pussy is not so spellbinding as it (or she?) used to be. Now, shopping for an ersatz I saw pictures of she-males in a weekly newspaper. The imagination of a new thrill seemed to be titillating, but I didn't like the word she-male. Besides, most of them looked like refurbished men, and the idea of penal penetration (PP) gave me goose bumps. I was about to delete this idea from my memory... when I met a lovely and absolutely charming Thai ladyboy. And, oops, I am crazy about her (or him?). I was surfing the web and found a myriad of positive, 5-star-comments about Thai ladyboys (the most beautiful, feminine, etc.). I don't know whether it is an inception, but I do know there's a difference between she-males and Thai ladyboys. I am still maintaining my don't touch policy, but I know I won't be able to control myself. I want to know if it would be possible to have a relationship with a Thai ladyboy in a fulfilling manner without PP. Do you know an expert in this field?

I can tell you this: I do know an expert in the field of wowsers, and that expert is me. Wowsers. Ok. Let's unpack this one, because despite a high number of creep red flags, I think you might actually have a question under there somewhere. I think we can all agree that "Shopping for an ersatz what?" is a question that we do not want the answer to.

So, first off, it's good that you don't like the word "she-male," because it's pretty much offensive. I think we went over this a few weeks ago. I suspect that you're looking for the word "transwoman." Reading the rest of your question, I felt certain that "Thai ladyboy" was not the preferred nomenclature either, but the internet tells me that some people do prefer kathoey (which is, I think, the Thai? For a third gender?) to transwoman. I completely respect a nonbinary conception of gender and also everyone's right to self-definition, but I can't say I'm feeling confident about saying "ladyboy." Wikipedia seems to think "kathoey" is also a slur. Thai folks? Wanna help out a clueless farang?

It is highly disturbing that you think about finding a sex partner like shopping for a fucking cell phone (Five star comments? What? Hold on, lemme check epinions before I get this boner). Ditto on "pussy" as synecdoche for "woman." You do know the people you have sex with are other people, right? I would say I get a 9 out 10 on the "she puts the lotion in the basket" scale from your general vibe.

In any case, to answer what your actual question seems to be: many people in many different kinds of relationships have fulfilling sex lives without penile penetration.

I can't tell if you're asking about a paid sexual encounter or an actual relationship. If it's the former, then why don't you schedule a session with a trans sex worker and see if you like it? Please do your best to be respectful. And if it's the latter, I have trouble imagining you having a fulfilling relationship with someone who you view with vague disgust/as a piece of meat with genitals, but that's just me.
