The sex bit
It’s important to be informed as much as possible about your sexual health and the potential risks involved in different sexual practices. Nothing is completely safe but there are many things you can do to reduce the chance of getting and passing on serious infections and becoming ill (and putting you out of business for a while).
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
If anything seems out of the ordinary with your skin or private parts you should go to see your doctor or visit a sexual health clinic as soon as possible. Even if you have no symptoms sexually active guys should go for a sexual health M.O.T at least every six months. Make sure you go for regular check ups and get to know where your local clinic is. You do not have to tell the doctor or nurse,
- Your Name
- Any personal details
- Who you have slept with
However it is useful for them to know so they can stop the infection being passed on to others, they are not there to judge you. Some infections like Hepatitis B can be prevented by being immunised against it. Others like syphilis and gonorrhoea need to be tested for and then treated. There are special sexual health clinics for male sex workers and gay & bisexual men. See listings for telephone numbers.
HIV/AIDS
HIV is still infecting a large number of people every year. If you think you have been at risk of catching HIV. it is wise to get tested regularly. Many people have become seriously ill from opportunistic infections and illnesses they have caught as a result of their immune system being destroyed by HIV. Often these illnesses are irreversible, if HIV is treated early enough it need not have a serious affect on your health. You may however have to think about the effects medication will have on your lifestyle if you decide on treatment. Talk to your doctor or someone at the Sexual Health Clinic. There are also many specialists in our area who can advise you on what to do if you are worried about HIV see the directory at the back.
Blowjobs
The risk of HIV is small, however many Sexually Transmitted Infections are very easy to catch and pass on when giving or receiving oral sex. Condoms are the best barrier here. Avoid getting cum in your mouth but if you do either spit it out or swallow it immediately.
Fucking
If a client doesn’t want to wear a condom you should inform him of the risks and that you are not willing to take them. Always try to be in control of what your punter is doing. If you are doing the fucking put the condom on yourself and inspect his arse for any cuts or sores. Try to avoid getting any body fluids at all on your hands or near your mouth. Always try to take a piss after fucking to maximise the chance of clearing out any infection that may have been passed on.
Barebacking (fucking without a condom)
Is a high-risk activity for HIV and STI’s. There are things you can do to reduce risks but none as reliable as using a condom. Always pull out before cumming. Use plenty of lube. Drink lots of water and go to the loo often to flush out infections in your urethra (the tubes inside your cock that carry spunk and piss). Constantly check for signs of discharge, warts, sores or other signs of infection. If you regularly have unprotected sex with different guys it is only a matter of time before you catch something.
Rimming/Arse play
Even on the cleanest arse there is a high risk of infections like Hepatitis A and B. This is something you should get vaccinated against every 5 years. Details in the listings section. You can use a dental dam or cut open a condom to act as a barrier between the tongue and the arse to prevent infection. If fingering or fist fucking use surgical gloves or condoms. If using toys never share them and use a different condom everytime you use them. Other problems with your bum could be the cause of poor diet. Spicy foods, junk foods, caffeine and alcohol can irritate the digestive system. Try to eat more fruit and veg, less fat and drink plenty of water. If you have problems going to the loo never strain, push too hard or use enemas, allow things to happen naturally.
Piss
Some guys get a real kick out of being pissed on. If they want to do it to you try to get them to do it in the shower as you can always wash straight afterwards. Be aware piss can carry a lot of infections from the bladder.
Overdoing it
Your cock, balls and arse will need a rest after a marathon session. If you have a foreskin always clean underneath it with water. Be careful with some soaps and shower gels as they can cause irritation. On the plus side some reports show that ejaculation from regular wanking reduces the risks of developing prostate cancer so go for it!
