We lost "pozzing"

[muscmtl]

We lost pozzing. Now everyone's using pozzing cuz it's a bad bad word, even in political comments on X or in rap. There was a time that when you typed pozzing it'd only be gay guys pozzing, but it's over because the straights steal everything.

We need a new word,  how about hiving? or aidsing?

I still like the term I mean if I was getting fucked and somebody says do you want me to poz you it would make me h a r d as a rock

Same answer as Ottawa374poz ;)

I think I like 'hiving' because people won't know what it means for a long time. Then they'll probably steal that, too.

The problem with hiving, at least for me, Is that it sounds like it has to do with bee keeping …..

Queer was a bad word too, but we proudly appropriated that. I don’t want to give up using pozzing. I don’t know even knowing what hiving means in this context. And I definitely don’t like aidsing. I’m just flirting with the idea of chasing. But I’m not in the market for AIDS. I would absolutely take meds before it ever got to full-blown AIDS.

This is nothing new. The English language always appropriates words from other cultures, including our own. We didn't lose it, and getting a substitute to catch on takes massive work that I think, as poz pigs, draws attention THAT WE DO NOT WANT.

Are you off the GRID - negative

Are you on the GRID - positive

[think before following links] https://www.menhealthdomain.com/archives/19688

Before any official name was assigned, the medical community referred to the disease by different names based on the symptoms that were most apparent. These names included terms like:

GRID (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency): This term was used during the early days of the epidemic in the United States. GRID was coined in the early 1980s when the disease was primarily seen in gay men, and it was thought to be related to their sexual behavior. It was a reflection of the widespread societal stigma surrounding the LGBTQ+ community at that time. The use of “gay” in the term GRID reinforced harmful stereotypes and fueled discrimination against gay individuals, despite the fact that the disease was later shown to affect people of all sexual orientations.
