[QUOTE=Darkman808;5855239]At least, get annual PSA tests and monitor with your doctor.

I can't imagine my friends problems everyday due to plain stupidity and ignorance. He could have avoided all his present misery if he just went to the doctor when everyone tells you to go, when you get older. Prostrate cancer is real. But it ain't bad at all if you deal with it early on.[/QUOTE]Yes. Prostate cancer should be a concern for all of us. Not just the old guys. The PSA blood test is virtually painless and quick but is not super reliable. The prostate biopsy is literally a major pain the the ass that will affect your life negatively for a month even if nothing is found and all goes as planned. A digital prostate exam is minimally uncomfortable but also not 100% reliable.

While surgical treatment of prostate cancer (prostatectomy) is a fairly simple surgical procedure, it is still surgery and comes with a wide range of risks (and a few very unpleasant certainties). Your sex life will never be the same. Your penis may be shorter after the surgery. Erections will never be as easy to achieve or as durable. No more cum shots, cream pies, facials or pearl necklaces. Ever.

Don't get me wrong. The life changes after prostatectomy are far better than dying from cancer but they are very significant and shouldn't be overlooked!! It ain't easy getting old.

No reason for prostate issues.

[QUOTE=Darkman808;5855239] Prostrate cancer is real. But it ain't bad at all if you deal with it early on.[/QUOTE]The American Cancer Society reports that the five-year survival rate for "localized" prostate cancer is above ninety-nine percent, but if the prostate cancer becomes "distant" (has spread to body parts such as the lungs, liver, or bones), the five-year survival rate drops to thirty-one percent. So early discovery is important.

[QUOTE=Licentious;5856934]Yearly colonoscopy is best.

No reason for prostate issues.[/QUOTE]Sorry guy. You got your cancers confused. Colonoscopy is applicable for colon cancer and will only find very advanced prostate cancer that has spread to the colon. Way too late to be of much help.

PSA (prostate specific antigen) blood test looks at the level of a normally present auto-immune response hormone that is specific to the prostate. Elevated levels of of this antigen are a direct measure of problems if some sort with the prostate. The inaccuracy factor with test is because the antigen levels will also be elevated by other prostate issues (infection, trauma, etc). Elevated antigen levels will usually result in repeating the blood test a week to a month later. If antigen levels return to normal or near normal levels, no further action is usually called for.

In my case, it took 3 years of intermittently elevated PSA levels and 2 prostate biopsies for me to decide to undergo the surgery. It's been more than 2 years since the surgery and I've resigned myself to living with the results. It's far from perfect but I am, apparently, cancer free. The ongoing consequences of the surgery have changed my life but I can expect to have a life now.

Taking a PSA blood test requires 'planning'.

Prior to taking a test, you can Not have sex or jerk off.

You also can NOT ride a bike.

Don't ask me, I'm not a doctor. But it changes the chemistry in a way that alters your PSA reading accuracy. My urologist made a very big deal about this. Years ago there was a significant change in the 'trend' of my numbers. He drilled me with questions about my 'habits' the two weeks prior. So it was enough for him to notice.

If you're going to do it, do it right or it's useless info.

Do no riding bike, as in the village bicycle?

I tried natural products in the past from health food stores with little or no satisfactory results and went back to the generic V. Also, tried generic Cialis and some others with lesser results than the V for me. Everyone reacts differently, so if you go this route then you may want to see which one works best.

I'm 59 and just recently had my prostate surgically removed due to aggressive cancer diagnosis. I'm still in recovery, only having the surgery 3. 5 weeks ago. Unfortunately my cancer spread did not afford me nerve sparing surgery, so I will most likely never regain an erection on my own. I was sexually active before this all happened and now in my current state, I'm looking forward to the next step in life with a very different sexual experience. I'd like to hear from anyone about their sexual experiences after prostatectomy. How long did you wait till you resumed sex or masturbation? My massage therapist is eager to have me come in. She claims to have experience with other male clients with my condition. I could surely use a good massage and a HE, if she knows how to handle someone with severe erectile dysfunction after surgery.

There is one product out there I think may help you. It's called Trimix. It involves the use of an auto-injector pen that injects the product directly near the base of your dick. That sounds scary, but it's not painful at all. I've used it before and, believe me, it will get you hard as a rock whether you are horny or not. You have to be careful to monitor and adjust the dosage to avoid a hard-on lasting in excess of 4 hours because anything longer than that is in the danger zone. Some places here in Honolulu offer it. It's not cheap at approx $25 per dose, but it really works.

I know there are several providers that offer BB and several members here that partake. Just curious for those of you that partake what your track record has been like with STD's.

I felt very rude to the provider when I wouldn't kiss her mouth or lick her pussy because I don't know how to know those areas are safe either.

The mouth can have herpes, chlamydia and gonorrhea, plus all the familiar diseases that come out of the mouth like cold, flu, covid.

You don't have to lick pussies or kiss women in these places. It is not a monger obligation. Most providers generally don't start kissing their clients until they start becoming regulars anyway. (I had a few exceptions).

I saw a post awhile ago by another monger that turned me on to Mylabbox dot com. You order the box and then send it in and results are delivered though on-line website by logging in. You can order test boxes for just about any combination of STD. You pee in a tube, and then put drops of blood on a card, put the samples in bag provider and then inside the box, the box goes in a plastic white mailing bag and they provide a paid mailing sticker. Just drop the whole thing in the mail.

Convenient, and there is no explaining to do to anyone. They also provide free treatment for two common std's in the event you test positive for those. Others, I guess you're on your own but they can probably give you a list of doctors.

Has anyone here ever caught anything and what was your frequency of going and how many providers?

For the record I have never caught anything, and I've done everything with them except anal. I'm an anal virgin LOL. Oh and I'm not a huge fan of BBFS but I have done it w providers, mostly turn it down though. It got to a point I don't even know if stds exist. I got comprehensively tested and came back all negative. It boogles the mind. You would think these providers got maybe 5 to 10 clients a day every day. Those mongers are seeing other providers too that it would be guaranteed to catch something at some point. Well I did get a sore throat once but that was over in a day or 2. LOL.

Just imagine how many mongers on Oahu participate in this activity and visit other mongering destinations like the continental U.

Its high risk but its very addictive so we continue in the hobby knowing full well the risks involved. Seek a good medical practitioner to prescribe you the necessary medication to fight these communicable diseases and you can look forward to a long road of mongering fun.

So, it seems like it should be permissible to post if you got an STD and the places you visited and went bare. That way the providers could get tested but also anyone else that visited there could get tested.

I've only BBCIP with providers I've known for a LONG time. Still a ton of risk. #1 its there profession. #2 if I'm a regular, someone else is. But if she didn't openly offer it on my first 3 visits, I feel safer taking the risk. One provider only allowed me after visit 10+. She said she was ok with it, because she knew I only fucked my wife and her (at the time it was true).

If I'm out at a bar, club, vegas, random freebie -- usually I'm too drunk / high to have good judgement. But for me, it's still safer then a working girl who's KNOWN to BBCIP. I know a BBBJ can me something too, I guess I've just been lucky so far.

I don't seen guys willing to openly say they got it from this girl / that girl. People today won't even tell you they got Covid. Hell, imagine fake posts, haters of popular girls putting up fake / bad reviews already. Just my 2 cents, be safe boys!
