Are gonorrhea and chlamydia ripping through the gay community right now?

How would you know if you had chlamydia? There are no symptoms.

What are you talking about, there's the penile discharge, the burning sensation when you pee, the testicular swelling...

^So speaketh the whore of experience.

R1 probably needs to get tested…

Syphilis is now at the highest levels since the 1940s.

Volcel is looking good right now.

people on Prep who think they are invincible

R7 yep the raw is law crowd is going to be sorry when they have permadrip

I did hear about wealthy American gays booking a course of antibiotics for when they return from a whoring holiday.

It’s hilarious how many queens who were screaming LISTEN TO THE SCIENCE about COVID masks and social distancing, just go blank when confronted with the bacterial implications of raw prep fucking. Scientists are ringing the alarms that eventually, sooner rather than later, the current antibiotics will not work on these bacteria.

R9 now there is DoxyPEP

DoxyPep is a thing now, which seems absolutely ridiculous.

jinx!

I know one slut who seems to constantly be on DoxyPEP, he’s probably making some antibiotic resistance strains for everyone else

VD is for raw prep fuckers

Fucking ElderGays

OP, people have always gotten STIs.

Oh, god, is this going to be another hysterical super-AIDS is coming thread?

Yep, like this idiot, San Francisco’s state senator Scott Wiener who shamed people for not wearing masks but wouldn’t stop the kink event because homophobia. He told them to put a bandaid over possible Monkeypox outbreaks.

10/10.... goes to Part VII, total meltdowns... hugely entertaining.

Your friends are sluts, and you’ll get a bad reputation associating with them.

R17 and there have always been fat people so I guess there's no obesity epidemic in the USA.

Glad we conquered that.

Yes and it’s going to get worse year after year after year. A bad combination of HIV poz men with a syphilis Dx and Gonorrhea , and possibly other infections , that in the future will not respond to treatment .

At this point when STDs are untreatable the condoms will come back on. So maybe when some STDs no longer respond to Rx safe sex will begin to reduce the Dx.

King of like what happened in mid 1980s and 1990s

Gen Z cumdumps on PrEP are generally petri dishes of STIs.

R24 I laughed when a poster in another thread called them Kombucha Bottoms

yeah sure, your "friend" got it LOL.

And the CDC advisory committee has just recommended another round of MPox vaccine for the high risk among us. If you are a gay man sexually active outside a 1 on 1 exclusive relationship it sounds like you are high risk.

The response to MonkeyPox was a wake up call that many people slept through. A lot of people blamed health services, the media and big pharma but refused to tell gay men to adjust their behaviour. That was a near miss but the next one might not be.

R28 lots of conservatives noticed the hypocrisy.

COVID - everyone in the world stay inside!

Monkeypox - please continue to hold your fisting orgies!

When you go out of your way in a rush of PC to insist that everyone is at risk it’s hard to get specific information to the truly high risk. MPox was always an issue of the high risk.

Lots of blame for this including the gutless federal govt, who knew better, and the gay community, who should have known better.

R30 the slut gay community is too far gone to ever pullback now. Being able to get married and live how you want is not enough, they need 100s of partners a month to be happy. They want to fist each other in the middle of the street with no recourse, and then after that they’ll move the goalpost even further in the name of inclusion and acceptance.

For decades we learned that the number of sex partners does not make you a bad person. It implied that sex with lots of partners is ok. The message blocked out the health risk if the sex is unprotected. I don't care if you fuck around a lot. I really don't. But don't people feel an obligation to themselves to stay healthy? And maybe there ARE moral considerations. I would feel really awful if I knew or just assumed that I gave a partner a bug that can haunt him for the rest of his life. It does not make me feel better to know that the partner consciously accepted the risk.

R32 you sound very empathetic, but look at these slutty Kweens romping around staring at themselves in their TikToks, do you think they care if they spread multiple STDs around? No, they only care if they get symptoms.

Obviously with Covid the message was that adjusting personal behaviour was for the greater good - gyms closing, cinemas closing, supermarkets limiting people inside, wearing masks, getting vaccines, staying at home.

Yet for gay men and monkey pox a message of reducing partners, using condoms, getting vaccinated and tested was not considered. And as for closing gay saunas or sex clubs, well that's just homophobic.

R34 we cannot live in reality anymore, because someone might get offended. If AIDS ripped through now, we’d be fucked.

R19 is a homophobic idiot.

R34, except, unlike Covid, monkeypox is not very deadly. Compare the number of people who died from monkeypox to the people who died from Covid

R30 is a Log Cabin Republican who just wants to lash out at Dems. Probably supports Mike "Arrest the Gays" Johnson

R34, except gay men were encouraged to get vaccinated against monkeypox and a huge number of us did. Try again

Could you provide a link to the CDC website where they're recommending another round of mpox vaccines R27. I can't seem to find that on their site. Thanks!

[quote][R34], except gay men were encouraged to get vaccinated against monkeypox and a huge number of us did. Try again

As I wrote, it wasn’t just testing and vaccines it was reducing partners and using condoms

R40 you're conveniently leaving out the biggest solution to STDs--reducing promiscuity and using protection.

But you know what? I think lecturing to a significant minority of men about their harmful sexual behaviors is a lost cause. They won't be deterred no matter the consequences.

So have your fun and don't come crying about persistent infection when you can't get rid of that nasty case of Chlamydia. Be a man and take the pain quietly.

R41

I should have explained that better

It’s a recommendation , just made by a CDC advisory committee , to the director cdc. Advisory committees don’t make policy they recommend policy. I would expect to see something from CDC in the near future.

What I saw was a new story within the past 3-5 days.

All men should be compelled to watch this highly informative film, lest they become diseased.

You're

WHORES, darlings!

R41

And it’s a continuation of the MPox vaccine recommendations for those at risk. It’s not as I understand a booster for those already with the jabs.

R43

You can still be a slut.

Condoms and gloves work. Even with a large number of sexual partners or even fisting, gloves and condoms work. The 1990s are proof that. So are the Amsterdam Red Light Districts.

Condoms and gloves work to greatly reduce STDs.

I never understood the "no condoms!!" crowd. Sure, it feels nicer without it, but not to the point that sex with a condom is something terrible.

R49 RAW IS LAW

R50 the Maiden Aunt Brigade has stated her boundaries!

All those feelings I’ve been having must be colitis.

[quote]How would you know if you had chlamydia? There are no symptoms.

51 responses later and I'm still laughing...

[quote]How would you know if you had chlamydia? There are no symptoms.

Leaky dick.

Omg you guys are WHORES!!!

Thank goodness I’m a fat whore, so I no longer have to worry about this.

R9 Better yet, send for a doctor from the hotel and get the shots while still on your vacation. Then the meds can start working while you're in flight home.

R33 Gonorrhea and Chlamydia aren’t death sentences.

It’s fine! 🤡 🔥

R58

Well a strong rational and argument for why gay men lead the way for the most STD infections. The lack of actual death for most STDs.

Such a proud badge.

And hardly anyone will care if gay men show up with a STD test and are found to have 3-4 different STDs. As many are.

Those not running around barebacking strangers won’t care because it does not impact them directly. The lesbians won’t care for the same reason. And the same for the straight community.

Just as long as the saturation of STDs within the gay male community does not start to infect straights, children , lesbians, etc no one is going to care.

But watch what happens if those groups do become fearful of gay men and their infectious diseases,.

We care because of increasing antibiotic resistant strains of infections and we remember what happened with HIV and AIDS.

R63

“ we should care because of increasing antibiotic..….”

The majority of gay men do not use condoms. I would assume you are in the minority that does.

The saying "fuck around and find out" seems appropriate for this thread.

R54 and burning rage on your hole. Painful balls.

R 63 current antibiotics work just fine for syph, ghon and clam. Promptly treated there’s no real issue with any of them.

And Hep C is easily treated now.

And yet the UK Health Security Agency is warning people about antibiotic resistant gonorrhoea.

R67

So your insight is that the medical community is wrong and this is a non issue for gay men and all the STDs are easily treated now. And resistance to Rx is just not a problem for any or the many STDs that gay men have so much more than others have.

Where did you get your professional training? Medical or as a stand up comic.

My insight is that men are successfully treated for any or all of these infections every day of the week, every month of the year.

R70

Say these words

“Antibiotic resistance is not a problem for gay men today and it won’t be a few years from now”

Then we will know that you disagree with the position of the US medical community. Don’t weasel out and say something else instead.

Why do you keep making up words I’ve not written? You can stop, now.

What is the percentage of DLers who have actually had a sexual encounter with ANYONE at some point in the last 10 years?

Asking for a friend...

R72

No I know you have not said those words. You are taking the softer approach and Infering. I am asking you to to come right out and say that antibiotic resistance for STDs is a non issue for gay men,

And if you can’t or won’t say that then stfu as far as how this is a non issue for gay men when you are one of the few loonies suggesting that is so.

I knew people lots of them in the health field in 1982 that sounded a lot like you do today. Most of them are long dead.

You are tiresome.🫵🏻

R75 is an idiot.

I’ll say this for all those dead folks you mentioned…they aren’t stuck listening to you rant on…and on, 40 years later.

R77 I was not R75

But I was sounding the alarm weeks before the first AIDS articles appeared in the press summer of 1981. I and the folks I worked with knew something bad was happening. I have been pretty consistent in my safe sex condoms gloves advice ever since.

You under 30 types are fucked. The future is not going to be kind to you.

R78 you can’t reason with stupid. They’ll learn the hard way, if they do at all.

Y’all are so pathetic with your assumptions about the age of this poster or that. You can’t even follow the thread to infer which posts match. Up to which poster.
