Safe Sex Information and Advice

[SentryMarv1]

Read a report today as well as told by a friend who works for the city that HIV rates are on the rise in Philly.

The disregard for sexual health is very prevalent on this forum -- so I kindly implore yall to get tested often, familiarize yourself with the wide spectrum of STDs, and seriously look into getting PREP. It literally renders you unable to catch HIV.

Also understand, the risks are especially higher in the hobby. I know yall have a penchant for barebacking drug addicts (no judgement, but still). Keep in mind that where there's frequent unprotected sex and drug use, there will naturally be a higher chance at catching something nasty. And I already know some of yall likely engage with gay and transgender individuals as well. No judgement, fuck who want, but please for the love of mary -- protect yourselves. Also, some STDs are transferable via oral route, so don't think BBJ is immune to anything.

Stay safe folks.

I use stdcheck.com to order the tests. They send the order to my local LabCorp,. I am in and out in ten minutes.

The ten-panel test includes.

HIVType1, HIVType2, Herpes1, Herpes2, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis.

I add Trichomoniasis (Trich) once a year.

I skip the other optional tests as I have no symptoms and always wear a condom.

That's good to know, they've been around for a few years, and it it seems like lots of people here like them. Personally, I like to get the main tests done every 3 months or so, which helps with the ladies, too if you can show them a clean test result.

The very fact that mongers feel "safe" getting bbj is a testament to the rampant ignorance on sexual health that pervades this hobby.

Oral transmission of STDs is very common, and even moreso for this kind of hobby. You can catch chlamydia, mycoplasma, & gonorrhea orally. Herpes as well. Likewise, for those who DATY.

Something I learned, firsthand, is that kissing with someone infected with oral chlamydia / gonorrhea can result in catching these ailments. And when you catch them orally, they tend to be asymptomatic compared to when its caught in the genitals. Keep in mind folks, with the amount of complete ignorance amongst providers and mongers, you can imagine that catching an STD is far easier in the hobby than anywhere else.

I'm not here to judge anyone at the end of the day. But for those who do care about your sex health -- get tested, frequently! My docs / urgent care know me very well, I take frequent visits. Mind you, I don't do bare anymore. When I did, I took PREP, which is literally a lifesaver. People, whether you have health insurance or not, TAKE PREP. It literally makes you incapable of catching HIV!

And I've never used protection with one or two exceptions when the provider wouldn't do anal without a condom, and I've never caught an STD (from a provider).

Wow, I am sure a bunch of scientists would be curious to find out your in-built defense mechanism. If they could obtain your blood sample, they might want to run a whole genome sequence so as to identify those novel genetic variants that make you so immune to all these types of STDs.

Respect.

What's on the test list? HIV, obviously, but what else?

Are there still clinics where you can go in and get tested confidentiality? One way to manage that is to simply give them a fair name, which converts confidential to anonymous.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone gotten a std from protected sex with a provider?

So lets be honest here, at some point some of us were young, dumb, full of cum and would fuck any girl that looked halfway decent. Now no working girl who does this to survive at any point would willingly admit to having STDs or STIs, they just won't do it, most of them don't even get tested regularly. I've asked for results and some have willingly provided thankfully but other than that no. I have asked the Russian girl recently and she became extremely nervous and concerned, I think this tells us all we need to know. I've been hobbying for about the past 6 years and have done BBFS with some of these women.

Understand that it wouldn't always show up right away. I've been away from the game but I still get tested every couple months just to be sure. Anyone who is having BBFS with anybody should be getting tested every couple months. As another commenter mentioned, it just isn't worth the QoL changes.

Yeah you definitely are correct and make a whole lot of sense. It's more of the addiction to getting a bbj that blocks out these thoughts. The risk are very high for catching everything you said but the willingness and the nastiness over powers the mind in monger situations. The bbj gets you rock hard before the sex.

And before you put the bag on. The CBJ is good but a lot of times you don't get the same hardness and swelling. Also you get addicted to the suck, mouth, throat and swallow. Its definitely a euphoric rush and flush having your raw dick down these girls throat and you know they are going to take a part of you down in there stomach. It's an addictive dominance fetish. Especially when they give you a balls deep throating bbj and let you control there head and hair with both hands. I definitely agree with all logic that you have said, but The sleaze factor always takes a hold first before logical thinking in the hobby.

BBBJs still presents risk. I caught gonorrhea twice from BBBJs. However, the unfortunate part about CBJs is that some providers hate the taste of condoms. That portion of the service may end a lot quicker than you'd want.

If you live near the Philly area, Condom Kingdom on South Street have condoms that are better than what you'll find at Walmart / Target / etc.

I agree. If you're going to participate in this hobby, it's a no-brainer. I went online through MISTR; with my insurance it's free. Took maybe 15 minutes.

At my virtual doctor consult this morning, we agreed that my level of risk doesn't justify the possible side effects.

[WyldLobo]

PrEp and Doxy PEP should be your best friends. They don't protect against viral STI's (herpes, HPV) but are highly effective at preventing HIV (99%) chlamydia (88% chlamydia (87%) and moderately against gonorrhea (55% Both are easy to get through your primary or online.

I would look into that definitely.

I have done BBFS many times and got tested as well. Girls get tested by their site so they don't get a bad reputation and drive away people. It's up to both parties to really trust each other.
