It's MY body, and my body's NOBODYS bussiness but my own...

So I was reading my Entertainment Weekly as I usually do on Saturdays when I am not crazy busy, and in the News Monitor & Notes section I read this little note that peaked my interest, it read under “Apologies” : ...On June 12, Oscar winning Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, 35, released a statement to E! News after photos surfaced that appear to depict Black having unprotected sex:
I apologize and cannot emphasize enough the importance of responsible sexual practices.”

This took me aback for many reasons, first of all that anyone cared that he did this, or that he had to apologize for it. I personally do not practice safe sex with my partners, but I do this with first always making sure that I am doing it with someone who is already positive, I do not fuck around with negative guys. I will be the first to admit that when I was fucked up on meth, I would not give two shits about who I was fucking and how, I just wanted to get off...well not get off, since tweekers don't really ejaculate for DAYS, but that is besides the point. I think that it is the two (or more) consenting adults' choice to do with each other what they please, as long as all the cards are out on the table for them to make this informed decision. I have talked to my doctor about it, who is a well respected AIDS/HIV doctor and he said that only in your first year of infection is there a danger of getting this “super strain” of the HIV virus. Of course I run the danger of catching other STDs but that is a risk I am willing to take for now. Maybe someday I will change my mind, but I highly doubt it.

This is the gay community's dirty little secret, that HIV positive men fuck bareback with each other. We see it as one of the few perks that comes with the disease. Let me say this though, I do not, I repeat DO NOT recommend anyone negative out there to zero convert themselves like I did in order to fuck bareback, it is NOT worth it. Cause though barebacking is great, people don't mention when you convert and start taking meds, you get diarrhea at LEAST once a month, you loose energy, stamina, you have to get your blood work done every three months, and for an ex IV drug user that is NOT a pleasant thing! So I think it is bullshit that he had to apologize for doing something that a lot of the gay community is doing, and that as long as he was doing it with a consenting adult who was well informed of whatever situation they were in, that it is nobody's business what they do or not do in the bedroom.

On THAT cheery note, it being Saturday (OK so it's technically Sunday now) here is my video pick for the week is a clip from one of my favorite Tony performances of all time, the show itself was iffy, but this song and these girls fucking BRING IT! Here are the girls from the Broadway show The Life (about Times Square hookers in the 80s) singing “My Body”...WERK bitches!
