I am saying, however, that I prefer it this way. I had an uncle who died from cancer, he smoked to the end. He was unabashed about it. He had no desire to quit. He loved not only smoking, he said he liked the smell of smoke when others smoked. Possibly I like punani the same way, and like him, I prefer to live without the risk worry.

Posts: 83[QUOTE=Westcoast1; 1352425]Not necessarily. It seems that way. Makes sense, mathematically. But, as we've discussed before (the converstation comes around) , there are a number of gents (some regular board members, others I've met who are not members) who have banged hundreds of sex pro's, never used a condom, get tested regularly, and have not gotten sick. Yet others have gotten sick their first time in AC / Tijuana / Pataya. That alone makes the above remark unsubstantiable. If even one guy bangs a hundred sex pros and doesn't get sick, then it cannot be said with any degree of certainty that sex workers are carrying an above-average rate of STD's. However, the mind can think its so, its very natural. I've had hundreds and hundreds of pinay bareback and have not gotten sick (and so have others) , which means there's a low probability of catching something? I'm not sure a call can be made one way or the other.
Westcoast your a smart guy and in most cases we rarely disagree but that's asinine remark. It's like telling someone to smoke cigarette's because my aunt Betty live to 90 years old without getting lung cancer. Which of course you admit is contradictory to your first statement we are in agreement there. 2ndly I gave no averages I have no clue whether or not AC has above average or below average ANYTHING for that matter. I would compare it to eating fast food regularly, it's quite possible depending on one's metabolism you won't get fat or be diagnosed with diabetes with this type of diet. But if after a year of or 10 of this diet you gain 50lbs and your struggling with health issues, no would be surprised at that outcome not even the participant. Now lets look at the other side, you eat this horrible diet for 10 years and the doctor gives you a clean bill of health hell he even says you have the heart of a 15 year old. Now which of these scenario's is more likely and which one is the exception to the rule? I don't doubt many barebackers are lucky guys but to pretend that this isn't risky behavior is silly and I have to call you on it. Lastly how many men would admit to anyone that they received an std? Hell most of you cover your faces or avoid showing your faces when your with these ladies. So I don't have much faith in the few men who are in your circle that miraculously avoid getting std's. Again I really can careless what other men do it's their business.

STD cases jack up by 7. 8 %
Freelance sex workers asked to come out.
By Ding Cervantes.
Nov 19, 2012.
ANGELES CITY- Cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in this city were noted to have increased by 7. 84 percent, all the victims being female freelance workers aged from 18 to 25.
The study, conducted by a group headed by Dr. Richard Velez, head of the department of medicine of the Sacred Heart Hospital here, also noted an average increase of four human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases in this city every year since 1985.
'The registry showed a total of 93 confirmed cases of HIV infection from 1985 to 2011. The disease incidence distribution was irregular but the average incidence is about 4 positive cases per year.
Unfortunately the records did not classify the demographic characteristics of the positive population, ' the study also said.
The study also noted 'at least eleven reported confirmed deaths from the reported (HIV) positive population', adding that 'the status of the majority of the cases was undetermined or lost to follow-ups. '

Posts: 704The obvious is not so obvious
Jbiz, your statement to the effect that it is obvious that if you bareback known sex professionals. Is actually not so obvious.
When you use the term "high probability", that is a statistical term, which needs to be technically understood, and which can be estimated given certain data.
It depends on your knowledge of the infection rates of the known sex professional pinays, the likelihood (a statistical term) of transmission from a diseased female to a healthy male, and the frequency of sexual contact between the subject male and his sexual partners.
Amongst the bargirls in AC, there are controls in place to reduce the first variable, that is, the infection rate of the bargirls. As for the other two, I do not know what are the probabilities, but I suspect that they are much lower than the "images" promoted by governments, which generally have vested interests in creating and maintaining the fear campaigns.
Maybe I should write to my Minister for Health and ask if there are actual probabilities which have been estimated.
For your consideration,
G

The exact opposite problem also exists: When guys (ie A Colonizer) see all the talk about antibiotics and disease, it tempts them to wear a condom.

I'm also one of the 'lucky' ones who has been with hundreds of pros, barebacked most of them and have not developed any dread or not so dread diseases. To each his own.
Great Cebu story, by the way. Life has magnificent surprises sometimes.

You can google the CDC treatment of STI's for the most current info but the bottom line is resistant strains are always developing. Prophylaxis should be short term to limit contributing to the problem of developing resistant strains. Treatment of established infection is really only guaranteed with good culture and sensitivity testing.
Only other caveat I would add is I do not know anything about the reliability of pharmaceuticals in AC or anywhere outside the USA. I'm comfortable with my scripts here at home though bogus pharmaceuticals have even been reported even here in the US.

Isn't it obvious that if you bareback known sex professional pinays on a regular bases that there's a high probability of catching an std? I agree that I don't think this needs to be discussed in this forum. Is this really some unknown? Come-on live with the decisions you make. If you want to be a barebacker get a wife or girlfriend and be monogamous. You know a lot of mongers like to deny to themselves that these pinays aren't prostitutes but they are, just because you get GFE doesn't mean they are your gf. And a rose by any other name is just that. So there you go, I use a rubber with ever one I sleep with but I'm in no position to dictate to any man what he does in his own bedroom. With that said lets move on Gentlemen.

The garden variety STI's (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis) are highly contagious and acutely destructive. If one rides "unknowns" bare back, he and anyone within a degree or two of immediate contact, is best served by the mongerer using prophylactic antibiosis IMHO.
It's a relevant topic and I think appropriate for this forum and AC especially.
