From personal experience, I can tell you that doxycycline PEP really isn’t very effective against gonorrhea, so I wouldn’t go out of your way at to procure some just for that. Although it does seem very useful at preventing syphilis and chlamydia infections, gonnorhea is always the one that gets through. Three months seems like an adequate testing interval even for a cumdump, and unless you have symptoms of course, I really can’t see the point testing more frequently. Sure, it means occasionally you might be carrying around gonno in your arse for longer than you’d like, but you probably won’t even notice. Does that make you a high risk fuck? Yes, it does. Which is why I tend to limit my play to other players who know the risks involved in our particular lifestyle, and avoid guys on hook-up apps who might be married or only have sex once in a while- I really don’t want to pass something on to someone in that kind of situation. You should take comfort from the fact that you have had so few infections overs such a long period of time- it’s a rarer occurrence than many people think. Recently I went over 18 months without anything at all, and I must have been fucked by literally hundred of guys in that time, in saunas, bars and sex clubs all over the place. Generally I just accept that picking up an infection here or there just comes with the territory: it’s annoying, but it’s no longer a big deal.

Hmmm… sounds like I should learn to top 🤔

Apparently, they don’t advertise “private parties” on their website. I’m guessing the breed and seed event on the 20th is a private party too.

Pre-pandemic, Zoo seemed to be the bar for a while, much like Strong Construction is today. These blackout Thursdays are new: I’ll definitely try one out when I’m in GC in a couple of weeks time. Have you had a chance to try the Factory again recently, @Aixactif? I’ve heard some good things about it, but it doesn’t seem to be that popular for some reason. Noxon also appears to be enjoying the spotlight a bit at the moment- particularly on the fetish side of things… -
Can’t stress this enough- I can attest from first-hand experience how both an oral bottom AND a total top can get it from bj’s alone!
-
Ha- I think there are plenty of ‘total tops’ who might disagree with you on this one… that’s certainly been my experience, anyway. And as far as any future vaccine is concerned, one thing we’ve all learned in recent years (what with COVID, monkeypox, etc.) is that no vaccine provides 100 percent protection. Truth is, I’d be surprised if they come up with one that is more effective at preventing HIV infection than is currently the case with PrEP, so no need to wait till 2030…

From what I remember (I’m not a big sauna go-er), of all the saunas in London, Sweatbox does attract the youngest crowd. That’s not to say older guys aren’t welcome or wouldn’t fit in, but just be prepared for a certain degree of stand-offishness that often accompanies youth in such settings.
-
If you’ve only time for one, I would do Vault139, though as @NicX24 says, it depends on the day (Monday and Thursday naked nights are best). However, if you’ve got time and want to make a night of it, I would consider doing Vault AND Sweatbox- they’re walking distance from each other, but offer quite different experiences. Both offer ‘pass outs’ (albeit with restrictions), so depending on the timing, you can go from one to the other and back again if you feel like it.

No shower facilities, no douching facilities- it’s basically just a bar with cruising areas and a few gh cubicles

Syphilis is very easily treated in its early stages, and is no big deal- a dose of penicillin injected into each buttock will do the trick… it will hurt, but it’s bearable. Apart from residual pain/stiffness at the injection site for a day or two, side effects will depend on how you react to penicillin, but I think they’re generally quite rare. I’ve never had any. It is harder to treat in its later stages, so it depends how long you’ve had it- I’m not an expert, but I think anything less than 2 years is considered ‘early’. Even so, treatment remains the same (penicillin)- you would just need more of it. When I was diagnosed with it, they didn’t know how long I’d had it for, as it was the first time I’d ever been screened for it. So they gave me a second double dose of penicillin a week after the first, and then took blood samples every month for 3 months to make sure it had cleared… That was a bit of a pain, tbh, but not the end of the world.

My trip to Playa del Inglés (Maspalomas, Gran Canary)
Spunkinmyarse replied to bareback-flipflop's topic in Your Last Load...
I’ve always thought that Gran Canaria is to Europe what Ft. Lauderdale and Palm Springs are to North America. The climate is pleasant all year round, it’s totally set up for tourists (it is part of Spain, after all, and the Spanish are very good at the whole tourist thing), and you get to meet guys from literally every corner of Europe. It’s true that you don’t come across many Americans there, and that’s understandable as they have their own gay meccas, but if anyone from the US is planning a European sexcation, I would certainly recommend adding it to their itinerary! -
Ha- that’s not to say that my interaction with any of the staff that seem to work at these places was ever pleasant, though. By and large, I found the service I encountered across all sectors in Berlin was generally rude and arrogant- and that’s coming from someone who lives in London and can speak German!

I was in Berlin this past weekend and didn’t come across any overt ageism or discrimination based on body type. Total mix of guys at Fickstutenmarkt: I think things must have changed since your were there, @stef85hki, as there were plenty of mares in the 40+ age bracket. Of course, I couldn’t see what the stallions looked like, but I know that one BZ member was there as a top, so maybe he’ll leave a comment… Seemed to me that the guys in Berlin were pretty much the same as everywhere else- no better, no worse. Plenty of poser “I’m to beautiful to have sex with anyone” types, especially at Boiler sauna, but also at Lab.Oratory to a certain extent- but you get those in every big city. On the other hand, there were plenty of hot up-for-it guys, particularly at some of the less show-off type venues like Tom’s bar and the Bull.

Short answer: Vault139, SBN, Bunker… and Hampstead Heath Hardon and other occasional parties/club nights can also be good I see you’re new on this site: if you wade through the posts in this subforum you’ll find out pretty much everything you need to know about the London bb scene

Is it alright to ask for proof?
Spunkinmyarse replied to frank86's topic in Making The Decision To Bareback
Ah- so glad I’ve joined the club… I’ve been downvoted by @dmvnewbietoo! @dmvnewbie, would you mind explaining your reasoning behind all these downvotes? Many contributors in this thread have gone to the effort of setting out their opinions thoughtfully and at length, including myself. Your own contribution amounts to 6 words. It’s obviously a subject you feel very strongly about, but you need to justify all those downvotes with more than just that. We wait with bated breath, so that we too may be given the right to reply to your own arguments on the matter. -
Is it alright to ask for proof?
Spunkinmyarse replied to frank86's topic in Making The Decision To Bareback
As a seasoned bare backer, I get wary as soon as someone asks me anything about my sexual health. I do everything I can to mitigate the risks to my own well-being, and in general I only want to play with others who do the same. It took me a long time to come to terms with the risks of being a cumdump, and I’m not really comfortable having sex with guys who haven’t reached that place yet. Not because I view them as inferior in any way, but because at any given point in time, I absolutely cannot guarantee they won’t catch something from me. If they’re asking me the question “Clean?” or “Are you STD free?”, it simply shows that they don’t really have a proper understanding of how STD’s work, and that basically no-one who has bareback sex more than once every 6 months or so can possibly answer that question with 100 percent accuracy. The only truthful answer is “I don’t know”, which is not what they want to hear… and to them, it just sounds like you don’t bother to take proper care of yourself. I don’t want them to think that of me, but neither do I feel like I have a responsibility to educate them further in the matter- so generally I just cease to engage. Also, I just don’t want it on my back if they do catch something from me, because I was in that place once and for most people their first STD is traumatic. Whereas if I give something to another player, it’s just a question of “Hey-ho, occupational hazard, etc” and we both just get on with our lives. -
Yes, I would recommend Northwich sauna. I’ve only been a couple of times, and not to a Cumunion there, but it’s a good sauna. It’s vast, biggest sauna by far in the UK- so it has all kinds of facilities. But the downside of that is that even if there are a lot of guys in there, it can feel kind of empty as everyone is so spread out. Wandering the endless corridors sometimes feels a bit like being stuck in the Poseidon Adventure to me. As far as I understand, Cumunion is generally well-attended there, better than other UK saunas, at least (it’s generally not a big thing in the UK, since the London edition closed). Are you going for Manchester Pride? If so, it will certainly be busy. It is stuck in the middle of nowhere, though. Most guys drive, but you can take a train to Northwich station and a taxi (or longish walk) from there. If you’re considering hiring a car, Birmingham is quite close to Manchester (at least by Australian standards), and there is another good sauna there called the Greenhouse at Darlaston. Also, check out what parties are going on in Brum at the time: Boltz hosts great nights like XXL from time to time, and Birmingham Pride at the end of Eptwmber is also good.

I can tell you for sure there is nowhere in the UK with a set up like this. Sadly, Manchester has no real cruise bars at all. London has a couple, but not with this kind of thing. I’m currently in Berlin, and have spent the last two nights at the Lab.Oratory, which has 3 fuck boxes similar to this, though not set up in a row. However, they seem rather underused, and don’t appear to be a big ‘thing’ there- though that might be different during Folsom. I think Amsterdam is probably your best bet- high speed trains link Berlin and Amsterdam, so you might want to consider that instead of booking additional flights. You could even take the Eurostar from London direct to Amsterdam, and carry on to Berlin from there.

First time visit to Berlin next week, and planning to attend Fickstutenmarkt on the Saturday (as a mare). Anyone else on here going?

Sometimes in a good group fuck, it just isn’t feasible to keep count, even with the marker pen system you are suggesting, @apollobchbttm. There’s just too much going on: one top pulls out, and another goes straight in… then another, and then another… or is that the first guy coming back for a repeat visit, and did the second guy actually cum? I’ve got my head down, so I can’t actually see anything… I suppose I could turn round and ask, but I don’t want to pause the action, and oh- now I can’t, as there’s a cock in my mouth… I used to get frustrated by it, but I’ve learned how to just enjoy the ride, and not get too caught up on exactly how many cocks/loads I’ve scored by the end of the session.
-
In a sex club situation with multiple fucks in one session, it’s just about impossible to know for sure which tops have loaded you and which ones haven’t- I certainly don’t ask (often it’s just not an option), and I gave up trying to keep an accurate count long ago. These days I just guestimate on the conservative side, like @NWUSHorny. I’m always a bit suspicious of bottoms who boast exact load counts in such situations, eg: “I took 27 loads at xxxx fuck joint last night”. How the fuck do you know?! I think some bottoms just overestimate their hotness, and assume that where they are concerned, every fuck ends in a load. It’s much easier to keep a proper count in a controlled cumdump session at home or in a hotel, and those are the only numbers I take seriously when this topic crops up.
-
Where it gets difficult for me is when I’m away on a sexcation for any length of time, aiming for multiple fucks and multiple loads one day after another. It’s impossible to stop eating completely (and neither do I want to), and neither is it a good idea to take Imodium every day. Generally I’ll have a good breakfast, and then pretty much nothing till after I’m done bottoming for the day, at which point hunger (and sometimes alcohol) will drive me right into the nearest fast food joint. Fortunately I’m fairly regular in my bowel habits and eat healthily most of the time, but there is an element of just winging it and hoping for the best.

Not bring politics into the answer …. Your not allowed!
Spunkinmyarse replied to M4mnow2's topic in General Discussion
I can’t speak for the US, @NWUSHorny- but as far as the UK is concerned, I don’t think much has changed at all, except that we left the EU and the Queen died. We’re still just muddling through in our own somewhat messy manner… plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose -
Best current darkroom/gloryhole? London 5-12 Nov
Spunkinmyarse replied to NutBucketDC's topic in London Metro Area
True darkrooms don’t seem to exist in London anymore, and gloryholes have become something of a rarity too. Even where they do exist, guys don’t seem to use them: we don’t have the ABS culture over here, and gloryholes seem to have slipped from the public consciousness. Your best bets for sleazy fun are Vault139 (not too far from Covent Garden), and perhaps the Bunker Bar further east. Both do have gloryhole cubicles, but whether you’ll get much action in them is another matter. Check their websites first: they both have different themes/dress codes depending on the night. Naked nights are always the most fun, at the Vault at least. Sweatbox sauna is probably your best option if that’s your thing- that’s also quite close to Covent Garden. -
Berghain closing... what will happen to Laboratory?
Spunkinmyarse replied to AirmaxUK's topic in German-Speaking Europe
Ha- my sources only amount to staff who work there, and I wouldn’t take too much comfort from that. As @bbrawblnstates in his earlier reply, that doesn’t count for much. Staff are often kept in the dark about these matters till the last minute, or at the very least told to keep stumm about it!
