Has Monkeypox put a damper on your gay or bi activities

Vaccine first, before any more adventures here. Are you Cautious?

 

An excellent topic and merits discussion ,even though I cant contribute

 

I was wondering if it curtailed some men from exploring their bi curiosity. Would you feel more safe if both you and your potential partner were vaccinated, so you can get back to monkey business ?

 

It has curtailed bi exploration. I had some other reasons as well. But crap, just as I was still using ever more contagious versions of covid as reasons to not explore, or even attend a hotel party where I could just watch - now this comes along and spreads like wildfire in the M2M community! As if hiv wasn't bad enough to worry about with hsv being permanent STI's.
I wish they would ramp up vaccine production and distribution! But given my zero level of activity, can't really justify getting the shot when others are more in need of it right now.

By the time they get effective vaccines for all the STI's, I'll be too old to enjoy them! LOL!

I encourage every guy to get the hpv vaccine. Even if you are too old for insurance coverage, you must still be 45 before you finish the 6 month 3 shot course, your doc can write an rx for you to do out of pocket.
Especially as it also helps prevent & treat the most common type of skin cancer. ( Google it).

 

Absolutely agree with that. I have had 2 bouts with oral cancer in the last 12 years. First time was stage 4. All caused by HPV. If you're under 45 get vaccinated.

 

To clarify, you can still get the HPV vaccine if 46 or older. You will need a doctor's script if 46+, & you must pay out of pocket, as it won't be covered by insurance. About $220 per dose. If money is tight evidence is showing two or even one dose can be beneficial if you can't afford all 3. It will have 88x the antibody levels vs what you have from natural infection.
It can protect you from getting the 9 strains again, and allegedly reduce, if possibly cure, any lingering infections you body couldn't clear on its own ( of the 9 strains covered). That data is not official yet.

If you're getting the Monkeypox vaccine, ask about the HPV as well, as it is prevalent in the M2M community, too!

Stay healthy!

 

Certainly curtailed my m2m activity over the last year. Have had to content myself with visiting my usual chat and cam site for my fun. Looking forward to getting back down the sauna this year.
