To Spacemunkee3: Thank you for your response; now I know the mindset of the (very) rude nurse that I had two weeks ago. Please allow me to dispel you of your very unprofessional, very insensitive, and very incorrect notions about me. First of all, I am HIV-. There is nothing wrong with being HIV+, but I am not. The fact that I choose to get tested every 3 months is because I am not an idiot. I choose to be proactive with my sexual health, and I do my best to keep myself and my partners safe. Number two, I have had one STD before, and it was chlamydia. That was over a year ago. I also do not have herpes. What I experienced were the chancers from the syphilis, physically manifesting itself during the treatment process. My physicians have been blatantly honest, and I am not stupid. I know the risks of what I have done in the past, and I am currently re-evaluating based on this set of circumstances. Let me make one thing clear to you, though: if I decide to engage in bareback sex again tomorrow, and were to get re-infected with the same three STIs tomorrow, your job is not to judge me (though you may, but be professional and internalize). Your job is not to shame me, your job is to administer treatment. You are right, you're not a doctor, and every doctor that I've had has never been as black and white as you appear to be. Perhaps you should reconsider your own practices, because with nurses like you and the one I had two weeks ago, I totally understand why some men wouldn't want to be routinely tested for STIs. Luckily, the person who administered my second of three shots last week was very nice, very talkative, and non-judgmental. If this seems a little overly sensitive, it's because I found your response extremely rude.

Hey guys: I want to share this here to tell my story and to get helpful feedback. After a round of routine STD testing (I go every three months), I found out that I had syphilis, chlamydia of the anus, and gonorrhea of the anus. And to be completely honest, I've felt completely unsexual since I got that call on Wed. night. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm going to explain my past, and then my present for clarification. I was diagnosed with chlamydia last year, which manifested itself via a painful anal fissure. I was put on 3-week, 2-a-day doxycycline regimen, and when the anal fissure disappeared I went back to bareback sex. I managed to stay STD- free, and everything was fine. This time, though, I feel very differently. I think I may be done with barebacking. Hearing that I simultaneously have three STDs at 26 made me feel disgusting. The eyes at the clinic for treatment seemed more judgmental; the nurse was terse when administering my treatment; I felt like every person I interacted with was disgusted by me, and I was disgusted by myself. Right after my treatments (2- pills for chlamydia, a shot in my right cheek to treat gonorrhea, and 1 (of 3) shots in my left cheek for syphilis), I went to get a bite. After eating, I got the most painful stomach pains of my entire life, and spent the rest of the evening shitting and vomiting, all while dealing with muscle aches, cold sweats, and headaches. I have to go to the clinic for the next two weeks to get follow-up syphilis treatments. I'm terrified the pain of last thursday night will re-occur the next two weeks as well. I still have an anal fissure (it reoccured due to one of the STDs I was diagnosed with), and the discharge from my anus has become increasingly more red and bloodlined, and my hole is constantly sore. I previously showed now outward signs of any of the diseases I was carrying, but now, I guess as part of the treatment process, the outward signs are appearing. My penis has visible bumps and sores on it, both the skin and the head. It's disgusting. I am tired and sore all the time, and I now realize that this is it for me. As much fun as barebacking is, this pain isn't worth it. It's not. I'm not passing judgment on anyone here, but I have reached and exceeded my threshold for pain, discomfort, embarrassment, and disgust with myself. I have loved the sex I've had, and I think how fortunate I am that I had three curable diseases. To anyone that disregards this, I understand. I'm not preaching, but I also figured this could open someone's eyes as to the real consequences of barebacking. We so often talk about HIV, but there are so many other diseases and virus. I love all of you, and I hope that this website, bareback porn, and the bareback brotherhood stays strong, however I can no longer be a part of it. Good luck boys, but I'm out! I look forward to reading responses of those who have experienced the symptoms/ treatments I've gone through, as well as the opinions that agree and disagree with me.

has anyone here ever had giardia? I think I may have it, and I'm looking for information on it? Namely, if it'll go away itself or if I'll need to see a doctor. Any advice would be great, thanks!

thanks guys! It's nice to hear that other people experienced this. It's a weird transition, but it's exciting to see what happens! Again, happy fucking, friends!!

Hey guys-- quick question, I need to see if anyone else has experienced this: I used to be a total slut, and I loved every minute of it. From the time I was 18-24, I used to love taking dick totally sober, from any hot guy, and loved loads/cum/ etc. From 24-25, I started parTying. It was never too much of a problem (didn't ruin my life, I still have a job and was in school), and I fucked a ton of hot guys and got even more loads. I recently met someone without the aid of a computer and hooked up with him sober, and for the past couple of months have only been into this one guy. We're not dating, it's casual, but my sex drive w/ other guys has gone down considerably (essentially no sex). It's like I'm scared to dive into the random raw fuck pool again. I know the fear has nothing to do with catching diseases, drug overdose, or anything like that....it just all stopped being for me. I'm not saying all of that to complain, or brag, I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Is is temporary? I loved my old life, but I'm totally content now; it just seems strange to go from one extreme to the other, and am looking for advice wherever I can get it. Thanks guys, and happy fucking!

I'm a bottom, but really trying to become more versatile since we all know there are too many bottoms and too few tops. Right now I'm 95% bottom 5% top..

I like knowing that, if need be, the top could (1) kick my ass if he wanted to; or (2) protect me if he needed to...

for anyone who cares: turns out I had chlamydia, which caused a fissure. The doctor put me on antibiotics for three weeks (2 pills twice a day). He did so much medicine because he wants to make sure the chlamydia is gone, but also that I don't have some STD that has been dormant for years but is making a comeback in the gay communities called VGL (I think). After less than a week of taking the medication the fistula went away! My hole is back to 100% and I can start bottoming soon (though to be honest, it was so painful that I'm still really anxious). I don't know what this strain of chlamydia was, but that anal fistula was no fucking joke. Hopefully this post will help someone else out...happy fucking!

I am a black bottom, and I fucking LOVE being called a nigger!

so it turns out I had chlamydia. Now the plan is: 3 week treatment of pills 2X/day for chlamydia, doctor's appt on Sat 6/25 for a second opinion, colonoscopy on 7/6, and hopefully a surgery to fix this fistula sooner rather than later. There goes my summer of sucking and fucking in NYC...

I went to the doctor today, and it turns out it's an anal fistula. This is such a fucking pain! I'm getting a colonoscopy done in two weeks to see what the deal is with it. Tested negative for syphilis, but waiting on my other tests to come back. It's odd because I've had chlamydia before, and never had anything like this happen before. Sorry for the update, but I figured someone else may need this information one day. My fistula formed after being fucked by four guys over about 16 hours (not the first time that's happened; I've been bottoming for ten years). I waited less than three weeks before seeing a doctor, but it's so annoying that I had to get it checked out. I don't think fistulas heal on their own, though. I will update this post as I learn more! Thanks, all.

thanks alot, wildsailor!

Hi All: So, I parTied with a group of 4 or 5 guys two weeks ago (all tops, I was the only bottom), and a couple of days later I realized I had an anal fissure. I'm now in week two of having this fissure, and it really fucking hurts. Does anyone know much about these things? I'm going to the clinic on Saturday (I live in NYC and work during the week when it's open). It's a pain in the ass (no pun intended) because I haven't had sex since late May and I'm going crazy. Any advice on how to deal with these? Is it possible to have sex? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
