Some doctors aren't very polite but they do want to help. I remember when I was 22 and I told my doctor I had been with 200 guys and his jaw hit the floor. He was like "you are in danger" and I was like no I'm not cuz he was mad that I didn't use condoms cuz they hurt when I'm submissive. Anyway the tests, like 50 of them all came back negative. My GPM (gays per month) has dropped massively since getting old. I'm lucky if I can get 15 guys over when it'd used to be 50 or so. I suppose my sexual activity started when I was 20 and going to the bars. I would show up and get handed drinks and I would get really drunk. I used to take the neon open sign down and hold it while I layed on the pool table and had sexual relations with just anybody. It was a fun time. But really all the doctors want to do is make sure that you're tested so that you and nobody you get with is infected and the cycle can end. To this day even though I'm semi retired I am std free because I picked my men wisely. Well when I was conscious enough to pick my partner. The point is 5 is nothing to be ashamed of. I've been with more than that in one night. Hell at one time even. So don't feel bad. You're a cute little Mary and you don't need to have shame in your game.

I appreciate everyone's different, but I'm soon to be 22 and had only one partner. I don't necessarily see sex as a "taboo" per say, but I will only sleep with someone if I'm in a stable/happy relationship. I appreciate some people are more open minded about sex, but it's a pretty mature act that can have pretty bad consequences, i.e STD's, underage/unwanted pregnancy. I find it worrying that more young people are treating sex as "just a bit of fun" without truly appreciating the outcomes it can have. Isn't sex far more enjoyable with someone you genuinely like than just some stranger you picked up at a bar? Call me old fashioned but I don't understand the mentality that sex isn't a big deal, when it kind of is. Letting down your walls and being so intimate with someone is not a small matter, I hope more youngsters can be taught this!

Thank you for this.

Well the issue is that there more capillaries/thinner tissues in the rectum than there are in the vagina (and thus higher likelihood of contracting STDs through anal sex), so really anybody who partakes in anal sex is at a higher risk. Doctors warning the gays is incredibly valid because they understand the science, but the actual homophobes who claim that all gays have/will get HIV don't understand ****. If everybody uses quality condoms, then they'll be fine.

Condoms and prep tbqh...

Being scared of sex is not the answer. Being knowledgeable about it is....and it wont keep your partner monogamous if there is something missing in the relationship. No amount of morals can keep you from getting an STD but condoms and prep can.

And always always get tested. Better to know early so you can be treated before your penis falls off.

Well, gays are very well known for their hypersexualised lifestyle + the risk is higher for men = your doc did his job.

It is sad that some people in this society use it against all of us because I'm definitely not a part of this hypersexualised gay culture and I do care for relationships and monogamy. It's sad that the society doesn't see this part of the gay population and only concentrates on the gay community.

But said "hypersexualized lifestyle" is entirely a stereotype. Is it really valid to base your concerns on that? I understand doctors basing it on anal sex being higher-risk, but not this part. Like you said, it's sad society focuses on a part of the community that is stereotyped and fails to adequately represent the population - why should doctors take them into account?

It's because most STDs in men are spread through the semen, and semen can get everywhere in your body. Semen on your face, semen in your eye, semen in your butt, semen in your throat, semen in your nose,

With two men that's twice as much semen spreading and twice the danger.

Twice the danger? That's also more semen to cover different body parts such as ears, inside nostrils, on your back and sliding down your legs.

Semen can be a very dangerous substance if you think about it.

Anyways, nowadays you can't have your semen in peace without some doctor go all judgemental on you.

Sis, Prep is only for HIV. It doesn't stop you from getting any other STDs
