Poz50something

Thanks Bootman. Kinda obvious, but someone needs to say it.

The part that perked me right up was Chester being a personal masseur. As a sleazebag, you can be sure Uncle dear gets to pummel the muscles of the clients, but it's mostly his big muscle that does the hard work. I can almost smell the massage/ suntan oil, and the slick oily fingers....the sleaze of it all. If only he had a long foreskin, but hot damn that illustration!! I wonder if we'll get tp the part of Chester's pozzing......I'm a RMT, so my licence is toast the moment I try to go beyond a sensual massage, and even then, some women who practice massage therapy in their house will not allow the client not to wear a long drape sheet. I always say it's the client's comfort level that's important. Touching my pits and bits isn't included in the massage, however.

ErosWired - I’m sure it sucks for the guy to be honest and then get told he isn’t allowed to fuck the cumdump bare. I get it. I’ve faced my share of consequences for being open about my HIV status. But being a cumdump doesn’t automatically mean I have to volunteer to be a petri dish any more than I can avoid. Being adults, behaving in a responsible manner....that's a given, isn't it - I have told several people about my HIV status, and even if U=U, lots of them literally close the shop, pull the shades down and slam the door shut, case closed. There are consequences to all our actions, and some are unpleasant. Okay, dear Lanshiqua, get up, dust yourself off and get on with your life. Always, it's Aaliyah who will inspire me in this go around.

From 2005 to 2007 is all it took....didn't become an AIDS patient, but came awfully close...last CD4 reading before I went on triple therapy was 212, viral load was 75000. 2 years....

I got Hepatitis B - not fun - felt like I was going through the spin cycle... now, I don't think it was penetrative sex. I might have even caught it by rimming someone. As soon as I found out the Québec government gave free Hep A shots for poz people, got both shots as soon as I qualified (permanent residence permit).

viking8x6 Maybe for people with this sort of blinders it would help to direct their attention to the actual evidence in the world around them? Men are willing to have sex with other men despite the risk of imprisonment or execution -- that sounds like a pretty powerful attraction to me. The fact that it is recognised by every society tells me it's not that men or women do not choose to be deviant, it is who they are, it's a valuable expression of what a person is.

Just came back from a month's stay away from Montreal, due to a family emergency. Definitely did not know about G. I. Joe....but nor am I surprised. I think this is the second time there's been a fire there. Oasis isn't all that great. Last time I was there was in 2003. It's more of an S&M sauna - stand and model more than anything else. There's also Bain Coloniale, but it's more for the marble hot tubs, and the "atmosphere" of Plateau men going for a weekly schvistz. There's supposedly a Sauna Verdun, but haven't been, and I don't think I will. [think before following links] https://www.cruisinggays.com/montreal/bathhouses/6150-sauna-verdun/ I like Centreville, and I have always had no problems getting bareback fucks there. Like I said, there are personal preferences, but Centreville is very laid back, and most guys are happy to bareback there. I wish 5018 was still operating, but it's been turned into condos. So there's that.....the Village is problematic, with lots of people camping out in the parks, but the woeful lack of services makes it really difficult for people to make ends meet.

yeah, in a nutshell, seeing as HIV2 has been with us since 1984, that's what becoming poz entails. There are those not on meds who are aware, maybe not, that a body quickly loses the capacity to fight everyday pathogens, and I found that before, when the practice was to wait until the cd4s were dangerously low to start medications, that I was mostly exhausted doing simple chores. That's what signing up for HIV is.

I don't blame you, as you have said, you are the poster child for compliance when it comes to taking meds. I do think, though, that doctors get 'paid' (encouraged, wined, dined, 69ed by pharmaceutical companies) to try out new drugs that suddenly become the darlings of antiretroviral advancement. I had this happen to me - in 2015, when I was encouraged to change from 3 pills to one - Triumeq. About a month into taking the meds, my heart began to beat really fast as I was falling asleep. Had to change my HIV meds when hubs died in late 2017. Certainly grief wasn't any help, but I would be up 20 hours, sometimes 24 hours, for three days, and then crash and fall asleep for six hours. I went on the website, found out heart palpitations and cardiac arrest was one of the side effects of Triumeq. Changed meds to Genvoya - okay kidney damage ain't a 'fun' side effect, but my readings have been okay. Learnt my lesson really well.

50 50 all the way bare if I can. Love the feel of a nice warm fuckhole. Love the feel of a raw cock.

When I lived in GA, I heard a friend describe this place as 'so sleazy, you could get chlamydia just by lying in the hotel sheets.'

I think there's the overwhelming urge to continue living, and living well, that pushes poz people to go on medication. We've lost enough friends to AIDS, which is a horrifying disease. Seeing a dear friend of mine becoming blind in the last week of his life broke what little faith I had in organised religion, while most of the preachers coming to see him urged him to repent his sinful ways...(This programme is brought to you by the letters F and U). We're talking mid '90s college town Georgia, mind you.

viking8x6 said: The tenofovir component of Descovy has a very long half-life in the body (150 to 180 hours), so even after three days missed you'd have had pretty significant levels active in your peripheral white blood cells (where it does its work). Three doses in, you'd have built that most of the way back up to the steady state level. But ideally, you should wait. You knew that. In the 2010s, I took part in a study as my doc is a world specialist in HIV and Hep C. I went off meds for 4 months, while the study team subcutaneously injected me with my own cd8 cells which were made super viral fighting through a secret process. I was one of the longest lasting test subjects. Some of them lasted a week or two before viral loads went dangerously high. I suspect there was a commercial component to the study. I stopped in 2010 because I and late hubby were going to visit my parents for their 50th anniversary, and didn't want the hassle of going through the med system of a country whose citizenship I had given up. I know it's dependent on each person, and Descovy is not used to treat HIV, but 4 months without meds and I was mostly tired, headachy, and grumpy. Not sure that helped, but that's my 2 cents.

FFWhole you def have a very fuckable manhole, a dad cunt that people should never leave empty. Yes, it's almost October and I I just discovered your reply which was written in Jan. Better now than never.

Since I started bonking at 12, there wasn't any issue with fucking and getting fucked, I would have told myself to trust my instincts more. The things I told myself, they were spot on. Also, despite the numerous erotic writings here, actual incest being problematic, I wish I had taken my Dad up on the offer of taking a bath with him, which I suspect was an offer for sex. But, maybe I was right on refusing, not once but two times more,... I was 18, and still didn't have a whole lot of savvy when it came to being worldwise, and generally confused about my role in the world. I also turned Dad down because it would have fucked up my relationship with my Mum, and I detested the fact that he hid this side of him from his family, playing homophobic macho man to the applause of his ever adoring friends and relatives.

needless to say, of course, that other STIs/STDs are around. I would urge anyone who is thinking of barebacking to do their research. Get the human papilloma, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, the monkeypox virus vaccines. Hep B is fucking debilitating, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

out of curiosity, which one was this? Could be Oasis or G.I. Joe, which are next to each other....

Joe11 said: Hey, where are you based? Answer is in the headline....Black pussy boy in London in lingerie to whore out outside. But London is a very big city, so Dexacole22 will have to specify where in London he resides.

excuse my neophyte ignorance about HPV, but I was under the impression that even without noticeable growths, the virus remaining in the body could enable anal cancer and other genital area cancers to occur. Please, please let me know if I am misinformed. The cost here of any HPV vaccine is $200 CAD plus taxes, and is not covered by RAMQ, the provincial medical insurance of Quebec. For now, I cannot afford that. One day, maybe.

Maybe it's not a kind thing to say, but I read in a class of mine at Concordia University here in Montreal, that the early trials in triple therapy involved extreme reactions to the meds, like diarrhoea and vomiting for hours, until the scientists got the dosage right. I hope people get on Prep as soon as they make the informed decision to bareback. I would hate that the people taking part in the medical trials, and suffering long term effects such as buffalo humps didn't do this for nothing, because the meds exist, PLEASE avail yourself of them.

Close2MyBro: Just ask for the "deep tissue massage" up front 🙂 Viking8X6: Ayuh. But some of us actually want deep tissue massage (the real thing), and have little interest in the happy ending. So there's that. 🤷‍♂️ As an rmt, those who want sex/handjobs aren't looking for regular therapists, so I have been told. It takes ages to build a clientele, bur shortcutting it by sex is not the way. As Viking said, deep tissue is actual style of massage therapy. It has benefits, and it's a regulated industry. Not worth it, losing a licence.

BlackDude said 'A lot of these other cultures are the antithesis of masculinity. Allowing yourself to be colonized, gentrified and genocided at the mere presence of whiteness is beta at best, and suicidal at worst. Many of these cultures didn't have a choice in the matter, not by any means. I think it's easy from today's perspective to look back at our ancestors and say 'oh boy, were they dumb/weak/beta' or what ever adjective you may want to attach to their situations, and laugh and shake your head. In the 19th Century, the height of colonialism, many Western colonial powers colluded with each other to sell outdated and useless munitions to local kingdoms and empires all over the world which were no match for the automatic machine gun. It was one way of dumping useless arms to trusting foreigners, who, until then were operating under the notion that the British hated the French, the French hated the Germans and everyone else feared the Russians. The Qing government only gave up Hong Kong to the British after the signing of the Treaty of Nanking, in 1841, as its navy had been blown to bits, all because the Brits wanted to continue importing opium to the kingdom, which had seen a striking rise in addiction and deaths. It wasn't the mere presence of whiteness that caused minorities to fall to our knees. Nope. It's the fact that war after war had been fought, and huge numbers of people were decimated. Do not for a second think that the Chinese, Indians or local Native Canadians have forgotten what had been done. In fact, the Chinese government called the Treaty of Nanking the start of a century of humiliation. The same thing in India, where several treasures were openly robbed by colonial powers, starting with the British East India Company, which was a private interest, and ended up eventually representing the Crown until its dissolution in 1799. Same with the VOC in Java and many of the island nations that eventually made up Indonesia. Nobody has forgotten. "There has been studies which have show how many Latin, Arab and Asian men identify as white. Not to mention the anecdotal stories of these other men in the gay community genuflecting at the mere sight of a white man." Receipts please? Which studies? In fact, we are told precisely the opposite. Growing up in our cultures, for about two centuries, we have had it rammed down our noses that we are anything but European. White skin, we've been told, is prized because we've been told that European culture is the epitome of civilisation, beauty and elegance. Somehow, foreign cultures aren't good enough because they're foreign. I don't know anyone who's a minority who sees himself as white. We are keenly aware how we are not white. "submission of one’s culture is no more masculine." We see the resurgence of Black power, Asian nationalism, Caribbean nations breaking ties with the UK to become republics, and self-determination since about the 1940s. Indian nationalists boycotted British made goods since the 1920s, and eventually, refused to cooperate with the colonial powers. It is no longer the case that people look at European-made goods and services as the height of sophistication, because it isn't. South American countries have seen the rise of Native politicians being voted into office. This is the submission of one's own culture?

this is tiresome....by answering evilcoyote's post as to restoring his foreskin with a mention of this study, you have given tacit agreement with the study's conclusion...that circumcision gives additional protection against HIV. If you didn't believe in the conclusion of the study, you wouldn't have mentioned it. Someone could have a study conducted and even provide data and statistics on why jumping off a bridge has immense benefits, and why everyone should do it. However, if no one takes the thesis statement and the conclusions of the 'study' seriously, it's not likely to be endorsed or quoted. What you've done BootmanLA is a typical straw man argument, coming after me about the word 'suggests' when you haven't been able to refute nary an iota of the points I raised....not about the high number of deaths of '70s precondom porn stars from AIDS when they were overwhelmingly circumcised, and not about the high number of transmission rates among msm, either.... "Challenge what I said" and I did...and you haven't yet refuted any of my points. But nice try....maybe you should look into your foreskin phobia, or why you're so concerned about someone potentially wanting to restore his foreskin...

OK first of all, you're saying that circumcision prevents HIV - so why then, in the years before tritherapy did so many of our friends and so many porn stars die of AIDS? It's anecdotal, but a large majority of the US porn actors of the '70s were circumcised, and many of them aren't alive because they died of AIDS. If circumcision prevents HIV, why the high rates of HIV/AIDS among msm? You indicated that "its limitations are substantial".....follow your own logic.

OK not about lipodystrophy, but I was taking Triumeq from 2014 till March 2018, and about a month after I started, I noticed my heart would start beating faster when I lay down to sleep. No biggie - didn't stop me from sleeping. A friend of mine took it as well, and talked having to go to the emergency because he thought he was going to die from a heart attack, I said I would pay attention to the symptoms if they arose. All of this came to a head about 3 months after hubs died. I would have non-stop palpitations and my heart would not stop racing, I would get about 2-3 hours of sleep and then my heart would cause me to wake up with a start. Again, heart pounding the whole day. Then 2-3 hours of sleep. Same cycle. After I went to my doc's and had a complete meltdown when one of his researchers asked if my husband would be interested in taking part in a study about serodiscordant couples, like we had in the past, I attributed this to the palpitations from Triumeq, and how I wasn't sleeping. He changed my meds to Genvoya, and I think I want to go back to it.
