Even then (for me anyways), words aren’t enough. For me to go that route both of us would have to go get tested.
STD’s are always the first thing I think of when it comes to ruberrin’ up. A baby would suck at this point in my life, but I’d be able to manage. But any kind of VD, that’s with you for life and that shit is more scary to me than a baby.
I’m not the most active guy ever (thank god) but I definitely am not as disciplined about this as I should be. If someone gets all offended when you bring protection up though, they are completely disrespecting your safety and your self respect. Those people are no good, especially if you are in a high risk group… don’t waste your time on them.
edit: And I have always been worried about STDs first, babies FAAAAR second.
Yeah from what I hear gay men from the ages of 20-35 are the most at risk for catching HIV/STD’s. And the guy that was trying to throw down is proof of that (he was 28), it’s a damn shame cause he was lookin fine too…well from the waist down lol. But yeah, I’ve already had a first hand experience as to what HIV/AIDS does to a person and to those close to them…I’m definitely not trying to go through that experience again.
Hey I’m not retarded and I hate it.
…still do it though.
Well, I wrote that incorrectly. That are retarded and WON’T is probably a better way to do it. I hate them as well.
I’m not on the prowl, but this would definitely be the case for me.
When I was “on the prowl” I always wore a condom and would sometimes offer the morning after pill if things ever seemed sketchy lol.
It’s just the smart way to do things and I never had a girl complain about it or get mad. Most were grateful that I respected them enough to not want to complicate their lives with an STD or baby.
@ Ghrrk my girl LOVED Heavy rain for that very reason.
This is veeery true. From years of Loveline, and the questions they ask you if you are donating blood etc, so it is really important to stay safe. I mean, EVERYONE should of course. But I totally understand, because the limiting factor for straight guys in how much they get laid is ALWAYS the women around them, unless your name is Wilt Chamberlain or something. This is because of the negative stigma is for girls sleeping around, guys sleeping around are considered cool (but IMO this is kind of slowly dying out… I think people my age don’t think as highly of players as my uncles did, and they are only late 30’s…AIDS ruined it IMO)…
Subtract the women from the equation, and I can’t even imagine how much sex has to be going on. 
edit: The other high risk group is I.V. drug users. I have a gay friend who is HIV positive who mixed wreckless sex with drug use. He doesn’t even know that I know, and when I heard about it all I did is cry because I can’t even tell him I know. :sad:
You actually should say that you know and speak up. It can’t change what happened but it could help him out and try to change his ways. But let me tell you that you’re in for a horrible ride.
I have thought about it. But the person who told me was supposed to never tell anyone. And also I don’t think his “ways” need to be changed, he’s in a committed (as far as I know) relationship…
But children are just a temporary thing? >_>
18 years, 16 in some states…?
I go out to gay clubs and feel dumb for tempting myself with all these beautiful lesbians. I love tomboys and butchy girls. It fuckin’ sucks.
But gay clubs have better music.
This is a really cool thread by the way, good shit Frank.
didn’t mean to imply that but kids are not a lifelong disease, ya know. people actually want kids. and if you don’t, then you should have rubbered up haha
Man raw pussay is the best. I remember hearing that men, while aroused, are quite illogical. So going raw has been a problem for me in the past.
However if your partner (for the night) is pissed off that you want to play it safe you should definitely stay away. As much as I hate condoms, I don’t think I would ever turn down a piece simply because I had to wear a rubber. That is silly.
Ain’t that the truth.
18 years min legally to…a lifelong incurable recurring outbreaking disease… yeah I’d say in comparison…kids are less…clingy…
Plus, you can get rid of kids at any time. Once they’re old enough, they can dig well enough. Saves you most of the work.
Too lazy to go back and read other posts in the thread to see if anyone said this already but I think the going raw phenomenon is mainly a straight guy thing because most ignorant straight guys think HIV/AIDS is an exclusively gay population disease and since they aren’t gay they think they don’t have to play it safe. Some food for thought, the population that is killed most often by AIDS is young adult black women. Straight men are not immune!
Africa. =/
