The TRUTH about being gay:Follow

...and more from black people than from white people. Nevermind that I'm not responsible for the behaviour of others, just of my own behaviour. I don't have unprotected sex, I don't shoot up, and I can count on one finger the number of sexual partners I've had THIS YEAR. So, I guess I'm a "natural ***" as opposed to all those disease-carrying "unnatural ****"?

Keep trying Varrus, you almost made sense for a moment.

Well, I always thought that with the pill and the contraceptive injections available, condoms were more for disease prevention than birth control these days anyway. I can't speak for anyone else, but I've never NOT used condoms during sex, at least not until both of us have been tested and a strong degree of trust has developed in our relationship. Meaning, only with one person have I ever had unprotected sex, and we were in a relationship for almost three years before we decided to dispense with condoms.

Dana, at one point, condom use was incredibly high. Unfortunately, the "safe sex" message became diluted (welcome to the world of "abstinence only" sex ed). There were fewer ads, budgets for various AIDS projects were cut, and the availability of condoms at clubs became far more rare. It appears that younger gay men are sensing an invulnerability and not heeding what was learned in the past. Additionally, with the medications available, people are living longer with the disease. Some feel a cure will be found at some point in the near future. Therefore, the pressure to engage in safe sex has lessened. Apparently some think that they'll never get the disease, or if they do, they'll live long enough to participate in a cure.

The closest major city to where I live suffers most from HIV transmission among women who are prostitutes and drug users. Therefore, the focus there is more aimed at drug abuse and the gay folks really aren't getting any message. The AIDSProject group in the city faced major budget cuts and so focused their attention on the group most affected.

Well, without getting too graphic, that area of the body is much tighter than a ****** so there's a lot more friction. When I was a youth counsellor for gay teens, one of the things we told them was that when you're having **** sex, it's best to wear two condoms so that if one breaks you still have that failsafe. We also had to teach the lesbians how to cut a condom properly for use as a dental dam. I tried to avoid that whole issue though, I never felt comfortable talking about sex with minors. Even when I did, I always had another counsellor around just so I couldn't be accused of saying or doing anything inappropriate.

damn, two condoms? trojan really should market to gay men then, double the profits!

he was part of the "I hate my name and want a more retarded one" bandwagon, along with gooooooose and twizzler

Kinsey said it was 10% (I don't think it's that high myself) and your own Baptist Press thingy grudgingly admitted that it was between 1% and 2%, and now you're saying it's less than 1%? You can't even stick to a simple number, yet you expect people to believe anything else you say?

Ok, I've given you your chance, but clearly you don't have enough working brain cells to rub together to form a cohesive argument. And the lawn guys are finally done mowing (bastards), so I'm done with this conversation, at least until I get home from work. Hopefully someone will have posed a more serious and logical argument by then. I do love a proper debate.

(Little late, but...)

Oh, the irony!

Pfft, I started that bandwagon. I can't help it if I'm a trend-setter.

I see you've not read ANY of the studies about the genetic connection and homosexuality.

And you can't prove that it's nature, so it's not a fact.
