SAFER SEX

SAFER SEX PRACTICES

Even though this blog is dedicated to the art and pleasure of male-to-male anal sex, I would be remiss if I didn’t discuss “SAFER SEX PRACTICES.”  Have you ever noticed the word “safer” is used rather than “safe,” why is that? Simply put, no sexual activity, which includes oral/genital, genital/genital, genital/anal, or oral/anal contact, is completely safe; all involve risks. We can mitigate these risks with common sense and protection.

As a man who thoroughly enjoys having sex, I don’t wish to discourage anyone from engaging in pleasure seeking. I merely want people to be as safe as possible.  I know you are sick of the preaching about SAFER SEX. 

Well, it really cannot be stressed enough. There are diseases out there that are not curable with a simple shot. A condom is an inconvenience, HIV/AIDS, herpes, warts, or HPV induced cancers are life altering. 

Think about that.

DISCLAIMER: I ONLY RECOMMEND PROTECTED INTERCOURSE WITH A CONDOM (MALE OR FEMALE). EVEN THOUGH I MAY POST PHOTOS OF MEN HAVING UNPROTECTED ANAL INTERCOURSE, I DO NOT AN ANY WAY ENDORSE OR SUGGEST THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL ENGAGE IN RISKY BEHAVIORS.

This hottie is enjoying protected sex,

doesn’t seem to hinder the fun.

What exactly is protected sex? The simple answer is using a protective barrier to minimize or prevent the transfer of bodily fluids from one partner to another.

A man dressed for success.

All you tops who try to get away with, “It doesn’t feel good.”  GET OVER IT!!!!. Today’s latex condoms are ultra-thin and very sensitive. When worn and lubed properly a good quality condom will not diminish your pleasure. If you, Mr. Top-Man know what to do, your partner will writhe in ecstasy as you ride his fuck-hole proudly clad IN latex (or polyurethane).

Here is a partial list of diseases that can be avoided with proper use of protective barriers.

* Syphilis
* Gonorrhea
* Genital Herpes
* Anal Warts
* HPV infection
* Chlamydia

* Certain anal cancers
   and the big one
* HIV/AIDS

 

Syphilis and gonorrhea are bacterial infections treated with antibiotics. While these infections do not receive the attention they once did, they are still around and present significant health risks. Just because they are treated with a pill and/or injection, you should do all possible avoid infection. Left untreated these diseases can cause severe illness including blindness, mental impairment, and death.

Incidentally, these are the only two STD’s listed above which are truly “curable”. The others on the list may be life-long infections or chronic diseases, which require continual treatment. Condoms aren’t looking so bad now, are they?

The following definitions are taken directly from the CDC’s website. I linked to their website, please do your homework and learn more about these diseases and how to avoid the.

Genital Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. (HSV=Herpes Simplex Virus) When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Typically, another outbreaks can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always is less severe and shorter than the first outbreak. Although the infection can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks tends to decrease over a period of years.

Anal Warts appear as tiny blemishes that can be as small as the head of a pin or grow into larger cauliflower-like protuberances. They can be yellow, pink, or light brown in color, and only rarely are painful or uncomfortable. In fact, infected individuals often are unaware that they exist. Most cases are caused by sexual transmission.

These can be treated through cryo-removal or through outpatient surgery. In many cases, if the warts are not too deep in the colon, this would cure the problem. Nevertheless, if you have or had anal warts, please be checked by a certified medical professional regularly.

HPV infection or Human Papillomavirus Virus is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). More than 40 HPV types can infect the genital areas of males and females. These HPV types can also infect the mouth and throat. Most people who become infected with HPV do not know they have it. HPV is not the same as herpes or HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). These are all viruses that can be passed on during sex, but they cause different symptoms and health problems.

Yes guys, HPV isn’t just for women any more. If you have had unprotected anal intercourse, EVER, ask your doctor for an anal PAP smear. HPV can cause several illnesses or conditions, including cancer, which can impair your life functions. Early and regular testing can prevent serious illness or injury.

Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis, which can damage a woman's reproductive organs. Even though symptoms of Chlamydia are usually mild or absent, serious complications that cause irreversible damage, including infertility, can occur "silently" before a woman ever recognizes a problem. Chlamydia also can cause discharge from the penis of an infected man.

What the CDC doesn’t tell you is that men, gay or straight can contract Chlamydia. Again, if in doubt, check it out.

HIV/AIDS. Need I say more?

No other disease has affected the gay community more profoundly than HIV/AIDS. Infection rates remain level. That is not good. We should all, gay,straight, and bi be working to bring infections rates down to zero. Common sense and a condom can go a long way to achieving this goal. We don’t have to give up cock! We only need to let go of our stupidity out-dated macho delusion. Suit up all you tops.

THE RULE IS: No jacket, no service.

NOW HERE IS A GUY WHO KNOWS HOW TO DRESS FOR THE OCCASION

So guys, we need to be honest with our physicians and ourselves. Inform him/her of our sexual practices. This is the only way your doctor will know which clinical laboratory tests to perform. I get a PAP smear once a year. It is not painful. It does give me a lot of peace mind each time the results come back negative. If you are an active and proud bottom, do yourself a favor; get tested for all STD’s. It is the right thing for a responsible bottom to do.

Now that I’ve preached to all you kind readers, let’s find out how we can still enjoy the carnal pleasures we all crave. I refuse to allow fear to abscond with my gratification. On the contrary, knowledge is power, and that is what a POWER BOTTOM really wants. 

The question, both bottoms and tops must ask is:

HOW CAN I HAVE MY COCK AND SIT ON IT TOO?

LETS TALK ABOUT CONDOMS, YEAH YEAH

Of all the topics I discuss with friends, nothing makes their eyes glaze over more than condoms. Everybody thinks he is an expert on condoms, but if that were true. Why is AIDS/HIV still around? So, let’s have little lesson in the types of condoms available.

Here is a cute animated video on the proper usage of a consom:

Latex Condoms:

Pros:

* Widely available
* relatively inexpensive
* Assorted sizes to accommodate all cock sizes. (No excuse big

   guy.)
* Ultra-thin, does not decrease the pleasure for either partner.
* 99% effective, when worn properly in preventing disease.
* Use only water or silicone based lubricants.

Cons:

* Can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
* May break.
*Oil-base lubricants will reduce strength and may cause complete

  failure of barrier.
* Can be awkward to put on in a passionate moment.
* May slip off if not worn correctly.

* Heat sensitive, watch expiration date carefully.

* Bad taste but    flavored varieties do exist.

 

Polyurethane Condoms:

We tried polyurethane a few times. They are all right, but they do break more easily when putting them on. I think they slip off a little more easily than their latex cousins do.

According to my top, they aren’t as sensitive as the latex variety. I think they create more friction. I prefer a smooth ride, but that is my preference.

Pros:
* Only slightly more expensive that latex.
* Widely Available.
* Can be used by latex-sensitive individuals.
* Ultra-thin.
* May be used with any type of lubricant.
* 99% effective, when worn properly in preventing disease.

Cons:

* Break more easily than latex condoms.
* Can be awkward to put on in a passionate moment.
* May slip off if not put on correctly.

* Even more heat sensitive than latex, watch expiration date

   carefully.

* Awful flavor, I am not aware of any flavored brands.

The Female condom:

Don’t let the name fool you.  Men can use these also.

I tried this once. It was definitely weird. Inserting it was not difficult but walking around with a ring between my legs was a bit uncomfortable. However, I was able to get my lover to fuck me while at a party. I was ready and we just used the hand lotion in the bathroom.

Pros:

* Widely available
* May be inserted in the rectum before sex begins.
* Made of polyurethane so any type of lubricant may be sued.
* 99% effective, when worn properly in preventing disease.

Cons:

* Unwieldy because of external ring.
* Can Break or slip out during sex.

* More expensive than the male variety.

* A slight possibility of it slipping deep inside the colon.
* Hinders certain oral sex practices.

Sheepskin Condoms:

DON'T USE THEM, EVER!!!

  NOW WHO WOULDN'T SIT ON THIS BEAUTY?

I like using condoms because my lover can shoot while inside me. I love feeling his cock start throbbing, and then pulsing while he shoots his load. Even though he is like the Energizer Bunny, wink, wink, a condom makes him last a little longer. I get the benefit of a longer ride. Who am I to complain?

You should never be embarrassed when purchasing condoms. Proudly walk up to the cashier and smack that box down on the counter and smile. If anyone gives you a snide look, just wink and smile. All this means is they aren;t getting any sex and you are.

JUST USE SOME SORT OF PROTECTIVE BARRIER 

AND GET FUCKED ALL YOU WANT.

DO IT AND STOP WHINING.

CONDOMS ARE SEXY 

JUST LOOK
