Have read a lot on this site I understand the pros and cons of converting. But the bigger question is does a bottom has to convert? Does that endorses a role of being a bottom? Should I consider risk reduction  techniques like PREP?

First, my apologies for any misspellings: I'm on my phone, and I'm not as focused as I otherwise might be. 

Speaking solely for myself, I'd answer your questions as follows: he does not, it does not, and I would. 

As to your first question, I see conversation driven -- at least in part -- as a choice, and not as an imperative.

Some bottoms choose to use PrEP, some casually chase conversion, some serosort, some eschew both PrEP and PEP, some perform actions designed to increase the probability of infection ... ultimately, each person makes an individual determination as to how they plan on approaching the possibility of becoming HIV-positive.

That said, there will always be on-the-fly or immutable factors that can impact the chance of conversion; however, for the most part, I view it as choice rather than commandment. 

From a personal standpoint, and only from a personal standpoint, I don't feel that a desire to become positive is what differentiates a casual bottom from a true bottom/sub bottom: both live for the fuck, both love the cum, both feel empowered by the act of being submissive ... they're both bottoms, and the only difference between them is their HIV status.

I, personally, have chosen risk mitigation: I take PrEP, I try to take care of my health, I don't play when I have injured or compromised mucous membranes, and so forth. That is how I deal with it, but I'm not going to even pretend to say that my way is the only one true way.

I'm completely clear of them as of Thursday's testing, but I've contracted (and been treated for) Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia via Barebacking in the past.

Still HIV-free, as well.

I don't know who's more lucky: the tops that get to seed your hole, or you for getting your hole seeded.

There is hep b, hpv and herpes. I should know, I have all 3.

Re: Hep B -- at least according to the CDC -- unless it's chronic, or has progressed into liver damage, there is post-exposure prophylaxis that can address it, and a certain percentage of infections resolve on their own. (That said, if yours has hit the incurable stage, or if you developed liver damage, I sincerely hope you're getting the medical support you need to keep things going. That sucks.)

Re: HSV, I agree: Herpes is like your granny's old floral-patterned Samsonite® luggage: you'll never be able to get rid of it.

Re: HPV, d'oh. You're absolutely right: I completely left that one out. My apologies.

I was feeling toppy, so I went to the bookstore after work last week, fed the machine, dropped my pants to the floor, and started stroking my cock. I had two guys walk in the other booth and turn around and walk out, but soon enough I had a mid-thirties bear come in and drop to his knees.

He. Was. Good.

He kept edging me and getting me on the edge of cumming, then reached through the hole, grabbed my balls, and shoved his finger in my ass.

I saw stars and blew one of the largest loads I have in about a month.

I deep-throated my first cock in college. He was average size, but came buckets.

I'd seen him around campus and said hi a couple of times, but it wasn't until we were in the library at the same time that I really paid attention to how hot he was. Every time I looked up from my books (and term papers suuuuuuuuuucked), he was groping his crotch, and I started to get really turned on. He finally stood up, grabbed his dick through his jeans, then pointed upstairs to the cruisy toilets with the squeaky doors were, and -- like a good little cumslut -- I followed him.

He went into the first stall, and by the time I'd locked my stall door and turned around, he'd dropped his shorts and slid his legs under the partition. It took less than five minutes before he was blowing his load, but he made up for it by taking me to his dorm room and giving me two more in my mouth and one in my ass before we headed to dinner at the student union.

I'll mention this because it seems to get little attention -- there is a risk of kidney damage, including kidney failure, from tenofovir, one of the constituent drugs of Truvada. My other half went on Truvada in early August 2012; he went into the hospital in mid-September 2012 with kidney failure and was in the hospital for 3 weeks. I agree that Truvada is useful for lots of guys, but learn the signs of kidney failure.

Very true. Liver and kidney impairment -- and, in some cases, complete failure -- are risks, as is lactic acidosis and some issues related to bone strength and density. As well, if one is already dealing with a Hep B infection, it can worsen the symptoms.

If you -- and that's the generic use of the word you -- do decide to go on Truvada, make sure you know the risks, make sure you follow dosing recommendations, and make sure you know the warning signs. Also, even if you don't exhibit or experienceany of the signs, make sure you follow dosing instructions and quarterly provider follow-ups so that your doctor can keep an eye on things.

@ejaculaTe is right for calling those concerns out, and I'm sorry I didn't mention them earlier. Just because I didn't experience any side effects doesn't mean others won't.

There's a decent run-down of side effects on Gilead's own Truvada Safety page, as well as on both RXList and Drugs.com.

All that said, @ejaculaTe, I am very, VERY sorry to hear what happened to your other half. That's horrible, and I'm sure it was terrfying for the both of you.

I hope he made a full recovery, and that there haven't been any relapses since then.

yeah i get prep is the obvious way to reduce risk, but i see posts every once in a while that seem to indicate people's bodies are real messed up after prolonged use.  is that true?  I'm also worried about other stuff, mostly HepC.

Some people do have an adverse reaction to emtricitabine, tenofovir, or their love child Truvada, that's true. That's why it's important to check in with your health care provider on a quarterly basis to keep an eye on various blood, enzyme, and protein counts, and to be sure that you have not become HIV-reactive or HIV-positive.

The absolute most common effects are nausea, fatigue, and headaches, and they usually clear up in 1-4 weeks. Of course there are a boatload of other common, uncommon, rare, and "OMG" side effects, but that's true of all medications. That said, I can only speak for myself, but as far as I can remember, I didn't experience any discomfort when I started.

I've been on it for 4.5 years now, the only real side effect I've noticed in that time is that I've become more of a voracious cumdump than I ever was before.

In the end it's a mind game. Being on Prep is personal choice but then why bb when you can get other bugs that prep does not cover.

As far as I am aware -- thanks to advancements in treating HEP infections --the only common yet incurable STIs are HIV and HSV.

Admittedly, the first time I contracted syphilis, I was embarrassed as hell walking around looking like I'd fucked an octopus until the antibiotics took care of the infection, but at least we caught it in the primary stage, so that was good.

To me, asking why bareback if there's a risk of contracting an STI other than HIV is like asking why a diner should order lobster if there's a chance those poorly-prepared, nasty-ass vegetable sides might touch it: the risk/reward is worth it.

Lobster is delicious. So is barebacking.

And they both benefit from the liquid accompaniment.  ;-)

How?

If you have a poz fetish that's great.  I respect that in you.  Not everyone wants it.  Does that make them evil? I don't get it.

I'm with you.

Even if I don't hold the same opinion, then absent any unfavorable impact it may have on others -- ignoring scent allergies in a shared workspace, or not telling someone with a nut allergy that a specific treat contains nuts, for example -- I respect anyone's choice to do [x] with their own bodies. That said, the "PrEP is evil" and "PrEP is training wheels" mindset just boggles me.

PrEP is PrEP: it's for people who want to take loads, don't care about either the stated or actual status of their partners, and still want to do what they can to minimize their risk of contracting HIV.

To me, much like being a chaser is a choice, not wishing to chase is an equally valid choice.

Precum contains the virus and if you were getting fucked bare you got precum fucked in your ass.  So why waste a load since you have already had exposure, might as well take it all.

 

Exactly.

There will always be some risk, even when using condoms: to me, it's a risk-reward scenario.

I'm aware that I risk my health to STIs whenever I have sex; however, I try to mitigate those risks -- at least in part -- by staying away from individuals with oozing chancres, obvious genital warts, visible anal lesions, and so forth. Then, too, I take PrEP: it does nothing for the risk of contracting an STI, but it does give a measure of protection against HIV.

Others may seek those out, while I do not; and, as I note below, each individual makes that decision for themselves, and it's not my place to condone or condemn. I have enough difficulty controlling my own thoughts and actions that there's no way in Hell that I'd even pretend to influence someone else's decisions.

That said, I've come to terms with the probability that I will contract one or more STIs in my sexual life. I have, as I mentioned in another thread, been diagnosed with syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and crabs, and they've all been addressed. To be honest, a bout of pneumonia is -- at least for me -- more devastating than a run of antibiotics.

Do I like them? Heavens no. Am I willing to take them? Indubitably.

I'm not going to say one way or the other that you 'should' do it, or that you 'have to' try it, or that the clouds will weep bitter tears of regret every time you turn down a raw cock: I can only speak for myself when I say that I accept the risk in exchange for the reward of a raw cock and a hot load.

Whatever your choice is, it's the right one for you: it's ultimately your decision, and only you can know why you made it.

Mmmmmmmmmmm ... I love it when I've got guys who want to come back for -- and in -- my ass time and again.

I want to get back to having at least one regular FB/FWB: I'd like to know there's going to be a minimum of a couple of loads a week in my future.

That makes no sense to me whatsoever.

What's the point of getting fucked raw if you're not going to take the load?

That's like saying "sure, I'll have the lobster. Oh, and can I have a bucket to toss it into once I've licked it?"

While I've taken more than twice the number of loads in my life than I have given, I've dumped well over 500 raw loads into hungry holes over the last couple of decades.

I don't know about feeling younger, but I will say that I find a greater endorphin rush from being bred than I do from being fucked with a condom-wrapped cock or a dildo.

I've no idea if it's the semen itself, or if it's more of a placebo effect, but I usually walk around feeling -- for lack of a better term -- lighter in spirit.

Tonight I hit 100 loads given since 1 January, I think ... mmm ... five? Five or six in the ass, and probably around two dozen swallowed.

I had a thick-dicked top want to breed me. His ad said "bring over a couple of beers, and I'll drink them while I fuck you."

Based on the size of cock in the ad, I was willing to give hookup a chance and pick up a couple of beers, but when I asked him how many and what type, he said he wanted a case/suitcase of Busch.

Yeah ... needless to say, we didn't hook up.

I usually do somewhere between two and four cocks in: I can't help myself, and I love, love, love it. Sometimes it's just a slow, steady cum-leak from getting my prostate milked, and sometimes it's jets of jizz because he's hitting me just right.

I love feeling my ass clench down on their raw cocks, and then that combination of over-sensitivity and pain/pleasure until the lust takes over again.

I have to agree with those above who've suggested a trip to the doctor. Even if it winds up being something benign -- perhaps the meds triggered greater mucus production, for example -- or is completely unrelated to the chlamydia, it'd be good to know.

I've been spit-roasted, and I've had a dildo and a cock at the same time, but I'd LOVE to be DP'd by two raw cocks at some point.

Slowly climbing the ladder: 326 at this point, and hoping for at least another 30 or so if/when I have some fantasies fulfilled.

at cumunion you will always have the bottoms that can’t hang a rough fuck. they rudely walk away and leave the top hanging.

Good lord, that is rude. The only time I've asked for a break was when I was shifted halfway off the sling during a hard fuck and the chain started digging into my hip. The top was nice, and he shifted me back into the sling, but I still ended up with a bone bruise and a limp that lasted a couple of weeks.

Other than that, though, I can't think of a time I turned down a rough fuck. What's the point? If you want the seed, you take the cock.
