The post was a response to Tanbottom who has had a prostate biopsy and found that his enlarged prostate was non-cancerous. The study in question was published in a peer-reviewed journal and the abstract can be viewed on PubMed. I did not recommend the mushroom alone as a cancer treatment. It would be one element as part of a larger protocol. Yet, if it could have such a major beneficial effect on shrinking a tumor on the prostate, I wondered if it could shrink the prostate itself. I offered good news to Tanbottom and others like myself who are searching for non-surgical options for enlarged prostates that are not cancerous. If someone is not facing a life threatening illness, it is not necessary to pay for a doctor’s consultation to use botanicals to learn if they are of benefit. In my case, my enlarged prostate disappeared.

I take testosterone so my doctor tests my prostate every few months. Two years ago, my PSA creeped up to the low 3’s. I could not walk home from the gym, a 45-minute trip, without having to stop and pee. I am a self-trained herbalist and wondered if any botanicals shrank enlarged prostates. I searched libraries and examined hundreds of books until I found a one sentence reference to a study titled “Dramatic remission of hormone refractory prostate cancer achieved with extract of the mushroom, Phellinus linteus,” written by a doctor of Urology at Gunma University in Japan. The mushroom is commonly known as Meshima or black Hoof Mushroom. The doctor found that the mushroom powder took care of the cancer better than any pharmaceutical medication. The mushroom is non-toxic and extremely low risk to consume. I decided to order two pounds from mushroomharvest.com. these guys grow in clean conditions indoors, harvest, steam, dry, and then ground their own mushrooms into a powder that they sell directly. I took a teaspoon and a half each day until I consumed the first one-pound bag. Then I took a heaping teaspoon of nettle root powder a day until I consumed the one-pound bag. I then took a teaspoon and a half from the second one-pound bag until it was all consumed. At the end of this, my PSA level had dropped to 1.8. the break in the middle is to break any adaptive reaction the body has for the mushroom, preventing further prostate shrinkage. I started this in 2020. In the fall of 2023, my PSA had inched up to 2.3 and I started taking Phellinus linteus powder again. I put the powder into a glass of water or a jar, and stir and shake it. I then drink the whole thing quickly. This is a superstar medicine and I encourage men to give it a try before the prostate grows so large surgery is necessary.

I faced this issue a few months ago. I wanted a doctor who was not only gay friendly but supported PrEP and the health of gay men. I also wanted a doctor affiliated with a major teaching hospital and health system in my area rather than a solo practitioner. I performed a simple Google search for gay doctors with the name of the teaching hospital and health system. Up came a list of out and openly LGBT staff. Of this list, only three were in clinical practice in internal medicine or general practice doctors. I compared this list to a list of PrEP friendly doctors from a local HIV service agency. I found a couple that matched and chose one doctor that I will be seeing the first time on Thursday. He only accepts patients who have LGBT health needs. As I said I was a PrEP user, I was accepted. He graduated medical school with honors and patients consider him extremely thorough and dedicated. Finding a doctor who not only embraces PrEP but Doxycycline as a preventative HIV treatment requires a little research, even though I am in a big metro area.

Welcome to the club brother. I had gonorrhea last year. I had symptoms, but men often have no symptoms. I usually get a comprehensive STD screen every three months. If I have been part of a big play event, I go to a free STD testing center and get a comprehensive STD screen. I make Shure I go to one that has throat and anal swabs, because these can catch STD’s missed in a blood test. No judgements and no hassles. I am a sexually active gay male who enjoys recreational sex.

Shaved. I love rimming and generously licking my bottom’s hole so I want it smooth and hairless.

Studies show about one out of five men, or 20 percent, have side effects when they start taking Truvada as PrEP. The side effects go away in a few weeks. When I started taking it, I had headaches, fatigue, and nausea for three to five hours after swallowing the pill. I have ridden through this rough patch and take it daily with no issues. Some men break the pill into pieces and take just a piece until their body is sensitized and work themselves up to a full pill. Someone must take the entire pill to be protected. If your friend powers through, the discomfort will be well worth the benefit.

I completely shave my pole, crack and sack. I keep the bush above my dick untouched. I like being frictionless when being fucked or when sliding in dildos or plugs. Bottoms want to lick and suck shaved balls and I like frictionless masturbation. Also, when I am nude, other men get a full view of my genitals.

I am on PrEP and never use condoms. I like raw natural sex. If you go on PrEP, you will be protected, as studies show PrEP is more effective in preventing HIV than condoms. That being said, I have a full STD screening every three months for my PrEP checkup. If I have unusual symptoms, I go to the gay health center in Chicago where I am treated for my STD. Between the quarterly and systematic testing, I find and get treated for whatever I catch. It is part of the lifestyle of being a sexually active gay male. I accept this situation and do not get stressed over going in for STD diagnosis and treatment. No need to carry around shame. Just have a plan to address and identify hidden infections.

First, have a big, full and bushy beard that is soft and oiled. Nothing oozes manliness than sizeable mass and a full beard that extends down the neck. Flannel shirts look hot. Wear untucked shirts to accentuate your belly. I like big men in tactical pants. They have a lot of leg room and the expandable waistband enables men to drop them easily or allow my arm to go in behind, go between the cheeks, and slide my lubed finger up his ass without taking off his pants. Also, go commando so I have full access to the hole.

Cigarette smoking is a definite deal breaker. I feel physically ill not from just the smoke, but also the breath and the odor. I like cannabis smoke though. I love the smell and the odor a lot.

I never use condoms with anyone. I enjoy natural gay sex. Here in Chicago, nearly all the men are either HIV positive or on PrEP. They all fuck raw. If I did not have a no condom policy, I would rarely fuck.

I haven’t decided yet if the convenience of not needing to remember to take a pill every day is worth the hassle of going to a clinic every two months to drop my pants for an injection in my ass. Currently, I only need to see a doctor twice a year for PrEP. That’s for HIV and kidney testing. I go to a free STD clinic every three months for all STD tests.

Welcome to BZ. Fuck benches are fun! Unlike a bed, the bottom can spread his cheeks wide with his feet on the floor. Contact the Damien Center in Indianapolis. It serves poz men along with those who need PrEP and STD testing. You should be tested every three months. It will include blood tests, a urine test, and a cotton tipped wooden stick up your ass to check for diseases in your rectal tissues. Ask them about other health care providers knowing about your visits or PrEP prescription. Where I am, it is rare for men to be willing to use a condom. They are either on PrEP or HIV positive.

Barebacking: what's in it for the bottom?
bicep replied to bbicurious's topic in Making The Decision To Bareback
I am a powerlifter. I seek out tops taller with a lot more mass than me. When I am fucked raw and their seed is deposited inside me, I feel their masculine energy and strength being absorbed into my body. I carry this seed into my training and meets to lift more. -
A vaccine for HIV/AIDS, would you?
bicep replied to daemien's topic in HIV/AIDS & Sexual Health Issues
Injectable PrEP that lasts six months and implantable PrEP that lasts for a year are currently under study. I would definitely go to a clinic to drop my pants twice a year or pull off my shirt once a year for an implant in my upper arm. It would be far reliable than trying to remember to take a PrEP pill a day.
