The reporters at The Onion discuss the unrealistic views of sex that are promulgated by a sex-positive porn industry and how they affect kids’ views on sex…

Just saw a story on The Sword that there’s a club drug mix out there now called MTV that combines Meth, Tenofivir (and anti-retroviral) and Viagra that neg barebackers are taking when they spend the night partying and barebacking… Meth to get high, Viagra to stay hard, and Tenofivir as a form of “PrEP”.

In case you don’t know anything about PrEP it’s an offshoot of PEP. PEP is the course of HIV meds that you take after being exposed to HIV. Used sparingly PEP is a good thing (though it’s a bit of a joke if you’re a bottom who regularly takes anonymous loads). PrEP takes that a step further an instead of being post-exposure it’s pre-exposure… If you’re the type of person who takes a lot of risk, you theoretically take HIV meds just like poz guys do so you won’t get HIV.

Let me put this bluntly – while you can make whatever choice you want, personally I think PrEP is a crock of shit and I’d never take it – even if I was a bottom. While the ARVs are far better today than they were 10 years ago, they still can have some serious side effects. It’s possible that the PrEP you take today could have worse long-term impacts than becoming HIV positive.

IMHO, the fewer meds I take the better. In the past I always said if I became poz I wouldn’t take meds until I clearly needed them. Now I’m not sure what I’d do. I might take a mild ARV, but I’d first want to get a sense for what HIV was doing in my body. If I could stay off meds I would – for example if it was clear that the strain I had was particularly mild.

One of my big issues is that doctors are putting people on ARVs immediately after diagnosis. They say it’s because it’s best for the patient, but I really think it’s because the meds stop them the person from spreading HIV. It’s clearly best for the community, but I don’t quite believe them that it’s best for the individual patient. [And yes, this is where my selfish American side comes out. A European would likely have no problem taking meds because it’s in the best interest of the community.]

The other problem with PrEP is that you can build up a resistence to ARVs and when you do become poz your treatment options are less. That’s not a good thing at all.

In the case of guys who take MTV or other forms of unsupervised, recreational PrEP they’re in an even worse position – their intermittent use of ARVs will most definitely create drug resistance problems for them long-term. And the combination of PNP and barebacking means they’ll probably wind up poz at which point the drug resistance will be a problem.

Bottom line – if you PNP leave ARVs out of the mix. In the long run you’re better off not taking ARVs until you need them. If you really want to be on PrEP – see a doctor and do exactly what s/he tells you to do (and be honest with them about your recreational drug use)…

I want my MTV too – the old one that played music videos all day long…

Well, the Swiss courts have just ruled that people who have undetectable viral loads can’t be charged with HIV transmission because the transmission is likely just “hypothetical”. That’s a huge step forward, IMO. The current laws on HIV transmission were created in a time when HIV was incurable and a fairly quick death sentence. That’s just not the case anymore and gay men have known it in their guts for nearly a decade now. Last year Swiss government researchers confirmed what we strongly suspected – there’s essentially no risk in serodiscordant (poz/neg) heterosexual sex provided certain criteria are met, and that the same is probably true for gay sex. In other words the current drug cocktails change things substantially enough that we have to rethink our assumptions on what should be legally criminal transmission of HIV.

It’s a little sad how we’ve criminalized our brothers for having sex. I mean people are going to jail when no actual transmission occurred. And the burdon is put on the poz person to disclose rather than the neg person to ask which basically makes poz people sexual lepers, at least legally. Hopefully those attitudes will change as people re-evaluate what it means to be poz.

Like the case last year with the hot poz guy in North Carolina who was put under house arrest for barebacking (incidentally, he found the post and posted a comment just a week or so ago). Whether there was actual infection should have been considered, the sexual history of the negative person should have been considered, and his viral load should have been considered. But North Carolina is hardly a progressive state and I’m sure none of those were considered.

I doubt we’ll see these types of legal decisions in the US any time soon. But we can hope… At least the tide is changing somewhere…

Geneva’s deputy public prosecutor, Yves Bertossa, believes it is only a matter of time before other jurisdictions realise that prosecutions for HIV exposure should not take place when the accused is on successful antiretroviral therapy. He told Radio Lac: “There are some medical advances which can change the law. I think that in other [parts of Switzerland] or in other countries, the same conclusions should apply to their laws.”

Well, this isn’t one I was expecting… Apparently there have been rumors for a while that there was sodomy going on in some of the Al Qaeda cells. Those rumors were confirmed when they did the autopsy on one of three suicide bombers from Tademaït – one of the three guys had been raped right before he was sent off on his suicide mission. It wasn’t a loving fuck – the guy had a “large tear in [his] anus”. They’re doing analysis on the semen to figure out who the top was. Of course semen in an ass means they were fucking raw. Actually, I’m not sure why anyone would bother with protection if they’re about to blow themselves up.

While it’s surprising in one way, it’s not in another. There’s a history of “acceptable” homosexual sex in Arab culture (this was the subject of my honors thesis in college). For starters Arab men are more comfortable with each other’s bodies than western men. They walk down the streets hand-in-hand with friends and think nothing of it. But in traditional Arab culture there are documented cases of “allowed” homosexuality (I’m talking their pre-colonial period – so roughly 100+ years ago).

First were what we’d now call fems or transgendered. Early westerners who visited Arabia saw men dressed in feminine colors (not women’s clothes but men’s clothes with a feminine twist). These men were allowed to spend time in private with women who were not close relatives (which is otherwise not allowed). They weren’t having sex changes or anything, but there was the recognition that femmy guys weren’t a threat to the women and could have sex with the men without disrupting the balance of things, so to speak.

There was also occasional sex between apprentices and their “masters”. When young boys would train in a craft they would apprentice with a master craftsman. The process would take a few years and the boys (they were in their teens) were sometimes fucked by their masters. It was just part of the process – the boy was literally an indentured servant of the master and had to do whatever the master wanted – including sex. I’m not saying it was common, but it was frequent enough that historians made note of it. Of course, unlike the cross dressers, you were expected to stop it once you stopped working for the master. It really was sex based on power and control, though given how closely they worked together I’m sure there was sometimes an element of love in there too.

Getting back to Al Qaeda – apparently they’re using sexual violence as one of the tools to mentally train their suicide bomber recruits. I wonder exactly how that works. Maybe it’s about breaking them down and making them feel worthless. I just don’t know – it would be interesting to hear more. I’m also curious whether this will discredit Al Qaeda in the eyes of regular muslims…

Start by watching this and listen very closely around 0:09 in the video…

Who knew the Obamas were into fisting? You start wondering whether that’s anal or vaginal and who’s the fister and who’s the fistee? But frankly it’s just so out of character for them, but then again you never know what people do in the privacy of their bedroom…

Thing is, this is what the commentator really meant by fisting…

I think she needs someone to explain the term “fisting” to her…

Safe sex porn star Mason Wyler, like thousands of other bottoms, seems like he’s getting addicted to getting fucked bareback in his personal life. You might remember him from the news as the porn star who got raped last fall (part 1, part 2, part 3)…

Well, one bit of news is that Mason Wyler now has a site where you can watch him – MasonWyler.com. But the bigger news, IMHO, is how he’s turning from a safe sex bottom into a bareback cumhole… Here’s the chronology…

October 21, 2008 – He does a post on his blog that criticizes barebackers. It’s in the form of words to a song that’s sung to the tune of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. It ended with

Then all the gay boys hated him
as they shouted out with glee:
“Bobby with your unsafe sex,
you’ll die alone in misery!”

That’s just a nasty thing to say – that poz guys should expect to die alone in misery and that other (neg) guys should be gleeful about it. But even in that post he goes on to admit that he barebacks sometimes…

November 3, 2008 – It’s telling that all the pics in this post are bareback. Hmmm…

December 2, 2008 – A month and a half after posting that hateful message he says he admits to being addicted to Eastern European bareback porn where the guys “are openly in love with raw cum filled cock and hole”. He goes on to say “If only I were braver… or more stupid, I’d be in Prague right now getting my hole fucked deep by all these big-dicked Euro boys and letting them cream inside me. But unfortunately OR fortunately, I’m not that daring.”

In other words he’s fantasizing about being a cum dump, but he’s conflicted about it.

December 3, 2008 – He announces a contest where the winner gets to fuck Mason “however you please”, plus airfare, hotel, etc. plus $1,000. Some of the top contestants said things like “this dick is going to breed Mason Wyler’s hole”, and “I’m going to make Mason my cum dump”.

December 11, 2008 – He does a “DICKtionary” post on the term “cum dumpster” where he says glowing things about Dawson including…

Even though the chances of me having sex with Dawson are slim to none, he is by far my all time favorite Cum Dumpster. I would LOVE to eat his hole out after he’s had a long, fully-filling day at the office but that’s just because I’m always thirsty for cum and I know his ass would be overflowing with it!

Needless to say, that’s a big step from what he said in October…

January 17, 2009 – I’m VERY happy to report that two days ago Mason posted the following on his blog:

In my post titled, “A Guilty Pleasure“, I revealed my affinity for Eastern European Bareback Porn Flicks and the boys that star in them. I said that if I was only more daring or more stupid that I would be in Prague getting my ass plowed bareback by all the hot gay cock that the Czech Republic has to offer. Well today I want to confess that I might actually be that daring/stupid. That’s right, I can’t deny it any longer, I want to be an American barebacking bottom slut for Hot Eastern European Porn Models, taking load after load deep inside me until my ass looks like a torn-up cream filled twinkie.

So in less than 3 months he’s gone from criticizing barebackers to wanting to be a total cum dump. I think it’s ’cause he’s 110% bottom – just loves getting used and the logical extension of that is to let the top do whatever he wants to you. In other words, he’s the type who I think will inevitably become a cumhole bottom – it’s rooted deep within him.

Let’s hope he follows through on it and becomes a bareback gangbang porn star! Personally, I’d like to see him be a “take all loads” type bottom and think he’ll get there eventually, but given his taste in men I’m guessing he’ll just to do the pretty boy variety of bareback porn initially. Too bad – I’d like to see him jump directly into the more hardcore bb porn… But still, seeing an ass like his leaking cum after a gangbang would be a beautiful thing no matter where the cum came from…

In the meantime, if you want to see him in action (with condoms unfortunately), check out MasonWyler.com.
