Like my gay doc at Stanford told me: the CDC focuses on "15-year-old farm girls from Kansas." Many straight docs (yes, even from Kaiser) don't understand the prevalence of HPV amongst gay men and therefore deny it is an issue or downplay it. When I went with my husband to see his Kaiser doc and pushed them to begin the HPV inoculation series, his doc agreed but it was apparent that it was an afterthought and mostly at my insistence. When he went to the inoculation clinic to actually get the shot, the nurse questioned it (once again the female only issue) and only administered the shot after contacting his doc directly and confirming the order. My overall recommendation: find a gay doc if at all possible!! 

Fortunately, my HIV doc (and PCP) does understand, and referred me to an HPV specialist out of Medical College of Wisconsin.  My HPV is type 16 and I am set up now for annual monitoring.  

But @backpackguy you raise an excellent point, it is up to US to train our doctors in gay health needs.  

I wasn't surprised with Wisconsin vote (being an poll worker here).  Even tesla-boy's show in Green Bay where the two one-million dollar payouts occurred, the crowd reaction with very much NOT friendly to him.  

Lot's of "trump" signs in our town came down Monday...  

Yes, they are wrong, and yet...  Here in Wisconsin my provider made it clear that while testing is borrowed from traditional pap smears and used on men; the testing is locally approved, not FDA recognized.  

@jd13 were my state included in rawTOP's code; I would get a VPN a couple months before you need it.  Waiting until the last minute, or after has never served me well.  Being on the bleeding edge of technology has its pitfalls as well.  But VPN is mature technology and you've options.  Better to be on it and never notice the change in July.  

And JD, I'm glad you're here too.  

@chunkychains what a well crafted story.  To me it is complete here.  I'm looking forward to enjoying more of your writing.  

Although do understand that the democrats in the Federal government have no power to do anything.  Fortunately in the US we also have State, County and municipal governments.

I can't recall which one just now - but one of the venereal diseases often causes skin problems, scarring, etc.  

Considering all the call girls, whores, prostitutes, loose tarts he's "been with" through the years, it's no surprise there's plenty to cover up on that corpulent bag of filth.  I'm surprised he has any money left, after paying for all the "working girls".  

Are we assuming it is a thin coating?  🙂 

WRT Ezra, yeah I am right there with you @hntnhole   And make him breakfast in the morning...  🙂

The reason to keep marriage equality is that it bestows on the partnership several rights that have nothing to do with children to the married partners.  Domestic Partnerships don't work because they don't come with the same rights.

Not every culture on earth allows same gender marriage...

I haven't fallen in love yet with BlueSky.  So far more only fans guys.  Don't seem to be many locals.  

I am proudly banned from X/Twitter.  Was becoming more a cesspool anyway.  

Tele seems to be too oft quoted as the data source of federal investigations.  Which suggests there are some there who is of interest to them.  

I am playing with recon this year, not sure where that will go.

Christ I've turned this into my bloody confession time here!! 🤣🤣🤣

Yes you have.  Now go get HIV my brother.  🙂

Is that seriously difficult to figure out what "owning other humans" means?   But even if that weren't the case, we still have this ancient human thing going on about "race", when humans are a mix anyway.  We seem to be relitigating the Civil War.  

I don't think we need to be invited.  The obvious website should get you there to set up your own account.

We have lots of problems to fix once Trump losses again the next cycle. 

Yes, I anticipate there will be a period of reconstruction.  Hopefully we can settle public expectations on the whole "owning other humans" thing that keeps coming to the surface.  Evidently that's for when money isn't enough?

Not all strep comes from sex though; probably not worth fretting but I feel for you that you got it this time.

Well sometimes I can take that unethicality to a different level. There's a guy I've been chatting to at my gym for several months now. He's in a monogamous gay relationship but we're obviously into each other and we've both acknowledged that. Several times he's 'caught' me in the changing rooms (he times it well), and I've made sure each time to continue our conversations while stripping off naked. Noticed on each occasion, he's sat down, with an obvious boner, while I'm shaking my ass at him if I have to turn around.

I really shouldn't be doing this tbh, but yeah on some level I kinda feel like... I'm working on this guy. I'll make it happen. And it's a bit of a thrill to be steadily corrupting and tempting him. I really fucking shouldn'r but... hey, I am who I am. I want him to fuck me 😉 

His timing it well can't be an accident...

Grindr has for me become spam central.  Easily half, maybe more messages are just spam from some GQ photo that undoubtedly isn't the guy sending the message.  

Indeed @jd13 from time to time we're going to get stuff.  Even if we aren't at the sauna we are occasionally going to get stuff.  Obviously you also have experience and know how to handle the stuff that shows up...

I'm in an open relationship, but I have absolutely no problem with getting fucked by guys in monogamous relationships, whether with a man or woman, on the downlow. I do it all the time. I admit I get a thrill out of it when a guy is cheating with me, even though another more sensible part of me thinks that I am participating in his unethical actions. But all too often I can't resist.

Indeed.  There certainly is a school of thought that if it weren't for guys like us, the married guys wouldn't have guys with whom they can cheat.  But I've always thought that was a lame claim.  If not us it'll be someone else.  

We aren't the one cheating.  And honestly it is up to the one cheating to decide if cheating works better than candor.  My mate knows I fuck around, and I know he does too.  And that's OK.  The whole "controlling another" thing really kinda sucks, whether it is us owning another human, or demanding that our mates only play with us.  (and fuck, really, how is that fun?).  

🙂  @jd13 oh fuck yes....

@Bokkierob I have never once regretted getting my PA piercing fifteen years ago.  Does it enhance the fuck?  Yes but not always, but after a few months of getting familiar with PA jewelry you'll be able to put it in, take it out however you wish.  The hole becomes permanent after a few uninterrupted months.  Most piercers will put something like a 12 or 10 g in to start and best you keep that one in place for every bit of three months.  

You'll heal up in a day or two.  Your own urine which might as well be sterile (to you) flushes it regularly.  The little sting from those early peeing for me felt fantastic.  Nothing severe, just a nice reminder slight sting.  That's over by day 2.  

I can never answer for someone else what they "should" do.  Make your own decision.  But my experience was fantastic.  Compared to any other piercing this was the easiest.  

I like the start and how I imagine the next chapter is going to unfold.  

Hotness and romance...  Lovely!

Um  sure, I get that.  Our democracy's mostly have a certain amount of delay built in to avoid hasty and often unwise decisions from occurring.  But they do.  While they haven't yet the USA path to destruction of our current method of funding healthcare is driven by a desire to eliminate the costs, not to solve the issue in a better way.  Revolutions don't all involve gunplay...
