Well that is because they are guys. You see all the stuff that guys on here are saying they do with women and others are wondering if girls will do such and such with them. You don't have that problem with guy on guy because they both are already down to do all the shit anyway. I guess what I am trying to say is that the average guy (whether straight or gay) has less inhibitions than than the average woman.

This is exactly what I am trying to say. Imagine girls played the same way? We probably would not even have this board.

According to the WHO estimates, 49% of women and 39% of men in the Americas are infected with HSV-1 or HSV-2.

Do you believe that 51% of women and 61% men in the Americas have not had bareback sex?

Of course you would take responsibility, if it is really your child. Any man knows that is the proper thing to do.

I'm fine with letting a woman choose to take plan b or have an abortion, it's her body. A man should have a choice to support the kid / woman or not. Otherwise you have a ton of women claiming they are on birth control or stealing condoms / poking holes in them to land a monthly payday for 18 years.

I did a long term rent with a girl for a few weeks. She was fine with me blowing my load in her but I was always paranoid that she was trying to get me on the hook for a monthly paycheck. After the first week or so, I started using a condom and making sure all liquids went into the sink.

Has anyone had a situation where you offered a girl plan be and she refused and even though she's in Colombia and you are in the US or Canada, you still got to pay some kind of monthly fee? I guess I could avoid this situation by not using my real name and not telling them where I come from but it's a little hard to do with a long term rent. They can spot your name on documents if you "work from home" and spot your passport. Trying to figure out the risk of doing another long term sin condom rent.

Finally, I went out and got the Gardasil vaccine injections. You can still get HPV, but the vaccine is effective against a lot of strains of HPV.

Interesting. It seems that Colombia and Mexico have vaccine programs ie mainly to protect girls from cervical cancer but also reducing the chance of getting warts and passing them to men.

No such program in Venezuela.

When you look at HSV-1 and HSV-2, you are looking for antibodies. The number I read were 70% and 30% on HSV-1 and HSV-2 antibodies. This just means exposure and not actual infection. I tested + for HSV-1 antibodies and never have had a cold sore in my life. Quite frankly, I was stunned to be negative to HSV-2 given how long that I have been at this.

Again, condoms do not work against HSV-2 or HPV or more likely the term have not been proven to be statistically significant is more like the better way to say it.

Funny thing about herpes is nobody cared about it back in the 60's and 70's. In fact, when a drug company developed a drug for treatment of herpes, no one thought it would sell. The drug company went on a shaming campaign, and the drug sales went through the roof.

The funny thing is companies promoting baby wipes did the same thing, used shaming, claimed toilet paper was not enough and made big money as well.

Herpes is really like acne with a shaming component attached to it. A person could make a case that acne due to a staph infection is worse health wise than herpes but there is little to no shaming associated with it.

All that being said then Elvis, do you go bareback often then? It sounds like a lot of STIs / STDs can either be treated, prevented, vaccinated against, etc. What is the criteria you use when going bareback that makes you feel comfortable?

According to the WHO estimates, 49% of women and 39% of men in the Americas are infected with HSV-1 or HSV-2. However, not all infected are symptomatic. If you're mongering bareback the odds of you coming into contact with the virus approach 100%.

Now on the question of bareback sex I worry about herpes not AIDS.

Condoms do not work to prevent herpes. The medications, which you can buy OTC in Colombia, do lower transmission rates.

As for warts, there is no effective treatment but washing afterwards or putting on an antiseptic helps. HPV dies at over 115 degrees or so taking a hot shower or bath may help too. Finally, I went out and got the Gardasil vaccine injections. You can still get HPV, but the vaccine is effective against a lot of strains of HPV.

Outside of pregnancy prevention, condoms do not do much in the way of protection. That was more CDC bullshit.

Check your pico y cedula this week. Here is the new one for Medellin. So far, looks like the airports will open for everyone except tourists.

So guys that are in country need to know all the chica's cedula numbers so they know which ones to call over on which days. LOL But on a serious note this schedule does not address gringos or foreigners . So how are gringos supposed to take care of basics like grocery, pharmacy, bank errands etc? I know there is Rappi but not everything can be done that way. I personally would find a chica who could do some of this also but not all of it so what are the gringos there doing? I know of a couple of mongers there and I bet there are some digital nomads who are weathering out the pandemic there too. What happens if a tourist. Or gringo is caught out going to the pharmacy or bank?

[Buksida1]

Let's say I bare back and they get pregnant and have the baby. Can they come after me for child support?

Of course you would take responsibility, if it is really your child. Any man knows that is the proper thing to do.

Say what! Are you saying that almost everyone that has had bareback straight sex has herpes and/or warts?

In January, WHO estimated that 417 million people aged 15-49 years have HSV-2 infection, which causes genital herpes.

Your chances of HIV from barepack vaginal sex are extremely low, but you're virtually certain to get warts and / or herpes.

On to the gays. I have a lot of gay friends. I am not sure if any others on here do but what I can tell you is that those fellas are reckless! You would not believe the stories I hear about the risky behaviors they get into. Bath houses, orgies with strangers, sex clubs having unprotected sex, grinder meet ups on the regular. These guys have no problem meeting a guy at the gay club and getting it on an hour later in the bathroom.

Well that is because they are guys. You see all the stuff that guys on here are saying they do with women and others are wondering if girls will do such and such with them. You don't have that problem with guy on guy because they both are already down to do all the shit anyway. I guess what I am trying to say is that the average guy (whether straight or gay) has less inhibitions than than the average woman.

It is not that your being nonchalant. The CDC deliberately misled people to increase its funding. They paid to advertise heterosexual AIDS. They put a cute blonde on TV who said, "if I can get AIDS, anyone can. " It turns out she was shooting up IV drugs.

They put a preacher's son on who said the same thing. It turns out he was gay. Hell, you had the head of the CDC admitting that there was no downside to inflating the number of AIDS cases. In fact within the CDC itself there was a discussion on scaring the shit out of everyone or targeting gays and IV drug addicts who really needed the education. They went with the former, and it worked their funding went through the roof. Again, it amazes me that people will believe corporations will do anything for money, but government for some reason won't. I do not get that logic.

If someone has to do testing so they feel more comfortable going bare, have at it but just understand what it is. It is the CDC scaring the shit out of everybody, and it is an emotional decision. Logically speaking, you could test for hundreds of diseases with a much better transmission rate. Nobody knows anybody here who personally has gotten AIDS via heterosexual transmission. Hell, the brothels in Nevada have never had a documented case of transmission. So why is everyone so paranoid of AIDS? Because of the CDC's bullshit. I am not making fun of people here. I am just amazed that their bullshit campaign has had such legs.

Quite a while ago I read a book written by a doctor who wrote all about the AIDS situation. He was in Africa interviewing people who had lost loved ones to AIDS. Many many times he found that the people really died of other causes. When he asked why they said it was AIDS instead of the truth he was told that they were told by the do gooders who were in the country to make the false claims as it would get them funding for the area. This doctor after his efforts to uncover the truth ended up never getting any funding for the different research grants he used to get. His main idea was it was the powerful drug AST that was killing people who had in his opinion had this harmless virus. He stated if one person had the AIDS virus and another person did not. If both contacted say a unrelated infection then the person who tested for Aids was given the drug AST while the other person was given normal treatment. He even injected himself with the virus to prove his point.

Now on the question of bareback sex I worry about herpes not AIDS.
