It certainly would be. But the drugs have a similar efficacy, and are AVAILABLE NOW, which a vaccine is not. There's a big difference between 0.01% per event and "almost impossible". For example, your odds of dying in a natural disaster this year are well under 0.01% (unless you live in a small island off the coast of Florida). That may be negligible, but it's certainly not impossible. And the 0.01% is per event, so if you have a lot of sex, it does add up. You're being quite sensible in seeking out the best information you can find on the risks. You have an approach that works for you. Excellent! You do you. Don't argue with the other people here who have a different assessment of the risks and benefits here. They're making decisions for themselves. And don't forget that if you're constantly worrying about HIV or other STDs, it will probably detract from your enjoyment of sex. -
There already is one. They kill people.

Hot face pic! I'll look for you next time I'm in Boulder.

Not so much. Used to live there. You would do much better in a major metro.

Posting in the wrong place is going to happen now and then, and the warnings are intended to encourage paying enough attention that it doesn't happen all the time. Please don't take them as a reason not to post! The topics where you need to be concerned about it are pretty obvious - bug chasing, substance use, and straight/bi sex. ALSO, infractions (and the points associated with them) DO NOT change your ranking. They may give you a suspension of posting privileges, or even a suspension of access to the site (both temporary), but it's a completely separate system from the advancement to higher user rank. The result of a mistake is seldom seriously punitive. A three-day suspension of posting privileges is the standard for moderate infractions (usually posting bug chasing content outside the Backroom). The penalties only become really serious if the infractions are egregious or habitual. Don't let that be you.

Certainly many people are rude and do this sort of thing exactly. But also remember that online interactions, though they transmit quickly, are asynchronous. Depending a lot on what platform you are using, you will always have to contend to some degree with this scenario: People jump on to check messages, take a peek at the eye candy while they do it, and send out a few oinks... and then (having checked their messages) log out. If your message doesn't get to them in the five minute window they're on, they won't respond. But (also depending on the platform) you may continue to see them as "online" or "recently online" for quite some time (for Growlr it can be days).

A bit of clarification here: Breeding Zone is NOT a "hookup site". It is a discussion forum that happens to allow people to post hookup ads in particular subforums of the site. They are not its main purpose, and frankly it's not a very good site for posting them, because apart from a few major metro areas, there are very few BZ members in any given locale. Breeding Zone is NOT specifically oriented to HIV. It is a community that is welcoming to HIV-positive people. Discussion of bugchasing/gifting is only allowed in restricted members-only areas on the site. While Breeding Zone encourages frank discussion of STIs and related issues, it is NOT AT ALL supportive of STD fetish; in fact that is not allowed anywhere on the site.

Well, they are making great strides in robotics these days. <cue Duran Duran>

Advice for talking about possible STI exposure
viking8x6 replied to pulcish's topic in HIV/AIDS & Sexual Health Issues
I'm always up-front and matter-of-fact about this subject, when it happens (which of course it does). I seldom get bad reactions from my partners (in fact, I can't recall any). STIs are a fact of life, and if someone is fucking with me, he's grown up and I expect him to do his share of adulting. I do occasionally get denial if I state that he was likely the source, which I sometimes do if I'm fairly certain, not in a judgmental way, but to provide him with maximum information so that he can better understand his own risks and will know that at least one of his other partners probably needs a heads-up (or is an asshole, which is also useful to know). More often, I get shock and profession of ignorance, which I take as a teachable moment and happily explain (sometimes at length) the salient details of the STI in question. This recently happened to me with a cute li'l 18-year-old cub who gave me crabs - he had no idea he had them, and didn't know the details of treatment, so I brought him up to speed. He seemed appreciative. -
FUCK, that's HOT!!!

Back in university, a friend and I made a T-shirt for a woman friend of ours who frequently commented on the difficulties of getting laid. We made a hand stencil and painted it on ourselves with fabric paints: What part of YES don't you understand?

Is it possible to delete a follower?
viking8x6 replied to RawUK's topic in Tips, Tricks, Rules & Help
I think that is the way it's supposed to work (i.e. the block overrides the follow). I have never tested it. @rawTOP might know for sure. -

You can block them. See this discussion: -
Chat is currently working for me on Firefox 107. The problem is likely that something is blocking Javascript on your installation of Firefox. Some extensions can do this, especially ones intended to improve your privacy and safety. You may have to configure those to allow it to run on BZ.

My apologies for having done so. It can certainly be both. Indeed, I am frequently given to making nihilistic remarks myself. A hazard of the dumpster fire that American "civilization" has become of late. Precisely the point I was attempting to make. Your statements were made based on information unavailable to me, therefore I cannot understand their point or applicability to the topic we were discussing. If you had shared some of that information, I likely wouldn't have reacted the way I did. My apologies for having caused you stress. I did not intend any hostility to you. As you correctly pointed out, tone does not come across well in online discussions. I wish you well, too. And I hope you don't feel a need to make your break overly long. Anyone as articulate and mannerly as you are is an asset to this site.
-
Yes, I did. You asked a question suggesting that the topic of discussion didn't exist, then followed it up with a screed against the veracity of human discourse in general. OK, I get it - lying liars gonna lie, and basically everything you read or hear might be a lie. But what's the point? It's so general and nihilistic a view that it has no reasonable bearing on any discussion whatsoever. Really, I'm curmudgeonly enough without your help.

To get back to the subject of MPOX (hint, hint) I was told that I had to wait please to get the booster for Covid after taking my second monkey pox vaccine An elevated incidence of a rare and severe side effect (endocarditis) has been observed in people who get the Covid and MPOX vaccines near or at the same time, especially in men under 40. The advice is not to get them less than a month apart. IMHO one should decide based on one's likelihood of exposure in the relevant time frame.

We cannot read everything in a day, and often we have other things to do. Like work on our day jobs. And eat. And have sex. We are just volunteers. You can post the picture in a private album (in the galleries) and then put a link to it in the message. The Breeding Zone software should automatically insert the picture.

Status of Cumdump Network and related sites?
viking8x6 replied to anoncumdumpsub's topic in Tips, Tricks, Rules & Help
IMO it's not clear that it does make the most business sense. The sponsors are going to know already that you can deliver content - they do that themselves all the time. So the existing rawtop.tv site is adequate demonstration. I'd go with whatever functionality here can start to demonstrate your Unique Value Proposition. What have you got that no one else has (or has only in such a crappy or unleveraged form that it's irrelevant)? As a sponsor, I'd want to know that you have an audience, you have loyalty, and you have something special that's going to attract more people to the fold. Yes, of course! Count me in. Glad you have found some new traction. -
Bareback Bastards video links go here

Two observations: 1. "Want to slow things down" is not at all the same as "want things to stop". If he can be taken at his word, he needs time to process and I would guess he probably feels like he needs to be in control of his decision rather than acting in the heat of passion. That's totally appropriate, especially if he's been living in a bubble and HIV is a big scary thing of which he's largely ignorant. Remember, he probably hasn't been reading BZ every week for years (which gives you an understanding of a LOT of nuances about sex and bugs and drugs and risk and safety). 2. The situation involved a discussion of "pozzing videos". That's another kettle of fish to "I'm undetectable". If I were in his shoes, I'd be far more alarmed and anxious about the former than the latter.

What annoys you most about gay porn.
viking8x6 replied to Barebackpiggy's topic in Bareback Porn Discussion
Yeah, this definitely lacks verisimilitude. Because tops who do this are just asking to be bitten accidentally-on-purpose in a tender place. -
Gentlemen, that's more than enough of the borderline personal attacks. Discussing the science behind health issues is fine. Bashing each other while doing it is unnecessary and unwanted.
