  1. You're seriously going to tell me that per-incident risk is irrelevant to individuals? Seriously? So walking across the street in a rural town where you can't see a moving car is the same as running across the street on an icy New York street when there's a bus coming that doesn't have time to stop? You treat both situations the same exact way? There's no difference to you personally? Bullshit. Per incident risk is totally relevant to individuals - you live your life that way - calculating "how much risk am I really taking right now?" Everyone has their personal threshold of risk that they're OK with. You'll run across the street against the light when it's just you, but not when you're accompanying your sister's kid, etc. Sorry, but around here science is king. So getting back to the original point - my differing times were based on the average length of time that someone can claim to be neg. People build up a certain amount of cumulative risk. Bottoms accumulate risk faster than tops, so they can't claim to be neg as long as a top. Science. Facts. Let's stick to those please.
  2. To me a slave is someone who turns their live over to their master and lives to please their master. IMHO, restraints aren't needed - they're just for play/show. I have the ability to employ a slave (working on my sites) which is why intelligence is important to me. I want him to be able to extrapolate what I'd want in new situations based on what he knows about my preferences in other situations. In many ways that's no different than a corporate secretary who follows the guy she works for from job to job because she knows him and understands him. Where it turns to slave is that it's 24/7/365 - slaves turn over their entire lives not just their work lives.
  3. I'd really like a live-in slave. But the dynamics of it would be a little tricky since it would be a triad relationship. And healthcare would need to be figured out - though I guess the first year the guy could have COBRA or something. Any volunteers? I'd be looking for <35, lean(ish) body, total sub with some intelligence.
  4. You just answered your own question - because tops are at much lower risk. 7 times lower risk to be precise. Hence their claim at being neg is more likely to be true. Either way, I'm leaning towards showing a testing date for neg guys. And to the point of the person who said too much detail isn't sexy - I'll probably make it something you have to click or hover to see. So what's presented is simple, but the additional detail is there for those who care.
  5. I like bottoms with small dicks. A small dick means the guy knows his place as a bottom.
  6. I have as many hookups off A4A as I so off BBRT. Here in NYC it's A4A when you're uptown, and Manhunt when you're downtown.
  7. I was just talking to someone in the biz today who works for a studio that has Eastern European models applying and he said a lot of the Eastern European guys are actually poz - even the ones who are str8 / gay-for-pay. They get into gay porn, then start hustling to make a living, and wind up poz. And apparently testing on those Eastern European shoots is spotty at best - so it's a little unclear whether they're getting pozzed on set or from escorting, though the guy I was talking to assumed it's probably mostly from escorting since that's where the guys are having the most sex. So when you watch sites with Eastern European guys you may be watching guys get pozzed. And Billy is wrong when he says the guys on Lucas are all neg. Lucas has said they serosort. They actually outed some of their models with that announcement since some models are open about being poz but others aren't. So the ones that are paired up with openly poz models you can now assume are actually poz themselves…
  8. So what? Within a month or so of being on meds they mean the same thing. The scientists say that if your viral load is below 400 you won't transmit the virus. So on a practical level you don't have to be "undetectable" to not transmit - you just need a low viral load. If he does that he's doing substantial harm to himself. I'm more concerned with that than what he might do to others. It doesn't bother me because only fools think the HIV status stated in a public online profile is accurate. If the status of the guy is important to you, then you need to have a talk with the guys you have sex with. A lot of poz guys don't feel comfortable with their casual social acquaintances knowing they're poz, so they put 'neg' in their profile. That doesn't mean they won't tell you their poz if you ask them face to face before a hookup.
  9. So this site is to be faulted for getting people to tell the truth about their HIV status? But to answer your question - most poz guys are on meds. It's safer to have sex with a poz guy on meds than it is to have sex with a neg guy. HIV status is somewhat irrelevant these days. So no, it doesn't bother me. (What's relevant is viral load). I always find it a bit amusing to read a story here about how some guy pozzed some neg guy and then I go to his profile and it says he's on meds. He's living out a fantasy. In reality, he's shooting blanks and couldn't poz someone if he wanted to.
  10. I think even now marriage is an exception to the age of consent laws. I doubt that was the only (or even primary) reason why they were so low 135 years ago.
  11. Well, a lot of what you're talking about is fantasy talk. And you have to opt-in for it. So basically you opted into something and then were offended by it. Just opt-out.
  12. I just came across this quote on Wikipedia: Next time someone talks to you about "traditional values" add that one to your list - fucking a 10 year old (and in some areas a 7 year old) is apparently "traditional". Of course, so was owning slaves. But a little more seriously – can someone please explain to me how the kids today are less ready for sex than they were in 1880? I mean if anything they're more ready. They have sex ed now. They have the Internet where they can see pretty much anything. Kids today understand sex in a way their counterparts 134 years ago would never have imagined in their wildest dreams. The issue isn't that sex is riskier now. I mean Syphilis was a big problem back then. If it's an issue of better understanding the impact sex has on kids – haven't we overdone it a bit? I mean we live in a world where kids are pampered like crazy, and many types of risk are considered "unacceptable". The whole risk avoidance culture we live in is a rather big problem IMHO. It makes our society less creative (and interesting). And then layer on top of that how we see sex as dirty and evil and it just compounds the problem. I guess what I'm saying is that, if there isn't any coercion or force, what's the big deal? Why can't we just teach our kids to say "no thanks" or laugh off sexual advances like we teach them to do in other non-sexual circumstances where they're not interested? [bTW, I'm playing Devil's advocate a little bit with what I just said. I'm not saying we should go back to 10 as the threshold, but honestly the more I think about it the more I think the whole age of consent issue is rather fucked up. We need something more sensible.]
  13. The only significant risk is if you encountered a top who was not on meds and had a strain that was resistant to Truvada. That's relatively low risk. And of course there's the risk of other STDs.
  14. 2104 - That's what I call advanced planning!
  15. Well, this isn't a random sample of people on this site. The site would attract the extreme HIV fetishists who may be doing things (like seeking out new strains) which would make their results atypical. You know, that was my recollection too, but I thought to myself - "that can't be right - how would antibodies go away?", so I changed it thinking I had gotten it wrong. Glad to hear your explanation.
  16. No, you're completely wrong. (On average…) You have the highest viral load shortly after infection. Then it gradually drops and it stabilizes for a while. Then it goes up again and then falls again and it's typically at this point that your t-cells drop down below the 300 mark. It's not seen much anymore, but back in the days before ARVs guys were sometimes testing undetectable right before they died of AIDS. There was a group of guys who didn't believe HIV caused AIDS and that was one of the facts they liked to cite in support of their theory. But what they failed to realize was that you didn't "die of AIDS" you died because you had no immune system and that happened because of HIV. So it's just the opposite of what you say - high viral load just after infection, and low just before death.
  17. I went to pick up my Truvada/PrEP prescription on Saturday and the price had gone up about $12 (my plan pays 80% so that's about $60 retail). I made some remark about it usually being lower and the pharmacist said her other job is at a hospital ordering wholesale drugs and she recently noticed that the wholesale price of Truvada had gone up. When she asked about it she was told there was a shortage of the drug. It would seem that PrEP has been more popular than Gilead expected and they're not able to keep up with the demand. Or the cynical side of me wonders if they're trying to profit off a market where they're the only approved drug. Hopefully it's not that and it's just a production capacity problem and it'll get resolved soon.
  18. For those who don't know who he is, here's a couple pics… He's the top in each of the pics.
  19. I'm in NYC. Hit me up sometime.
  20. BearBandit's answer was thorough, but the simple answer is that when a poz guy takes a poz load most of the time his original strain of HIV and the meds he's taking will fight it off, but every now and then the new strain can win and the guy has to change meds. I vaguely remember hearing of one study that said that poz guys who took loads from other poz guys actually had lower viral loads. I think it was a study of poz couples. The theory was that constantly being challenged with helped the local strain and the body fight off new strains. Maybe someone else will recall that study more clearly than me.
  21. Personally I separate sex and friendships. I can't cum with guys I know. The less I know about someone, the better. So I like anonymous scenes like the ones JizzDump is bemoaning. But I also believe in friendships. I prefer a few good friends over lots of casual ones. I've been with my husband for 16+ years now. Our relationship is not about sex - we're more like constant companions and best friends. 4 years ago I met a guy who also works in porn and we've become really tight. I usually see him at least once a week and we chat on Skype almost every day. Then there are the dinner parties. We love to have friends over for dinner - though we've cut back lately 'cause money has been tight (but that's temporary). I guess I what I'm saying is relationships are important, but don't look to sexual encounters to build relationships. I've found two boyfriends (including my current husband) at bathhouses - so real relationships can come out of anonymous sex, but you shouldn't expect that to happen - just be open to it. I've always said I want BBBH.com to be "more social". Sex will be the focus, but it will (hopefully) present a somewhat broader and more well-rounded view of a person than just their sexual stats and preferences. But at the end of the day if you want friends you have to get out there and do the work. There are many ways to do it - you can host parties at your place, go drinking with folks, go out to dinner, etc. It's important to have a well-rounded life - and that means having real friends in addition to your fuck buddies.
  22. I take 2.5mg of Cialis every 2nd or 3rd day. It's enough to do the trick. I don't need much, but I do need it.
  23. Personally I'd love to see him be a top on a daddy/boy site when he gets out. Problem is none of those sites are bareback.
  24. I should mention that a couple years ago I had sex with a kid who claimed to be 18. I even quizzed him right before we fucked and he reiterated what he said on A4A - that he was 18. Then 6 months or a year later he told me he was actually 17 at the time. Luckily for me 17 is legal in NY and HIV wasn't an issue. But it happens so I give the benefit of the doubt to the adult who said he thought the kid was 18. Kids lie to get what they want.
  25. First I'll get it working for BBBH.com (I'm close on that), then I'll probably put a tracker code on here to better track BBBH members. Then late this year I'll work on doing something with real GeoLocation for BZ. I need to get BBBH.com up and running first though.
