Let me throw this out-even though we rationally know that being poz is no longer the death sentence it was back in the 80s, do people still think those who are poz are "dirty"? This leads me to my next question-do some people think that they deserve to be pozzed because they think they're "dirty"?
I went the other way. I'm bipolar and I've always used sex as a way to self-medicate. The more guys I had sex with, the better I felt about myself. I was willing to do pretty much anything when I was either depressed or manic. The sex brought me out of a depression and it would take the edge off a manic episode. I don't want to call myself a sex addict but I probably was.
