I’m so glad gay people live in another world, where casual sex can never be risky – the only risk is that well-meaning straights might annoy you in the morning when you whine about it.
Because we all know gays are always smart and always wear condoms and would never have a moment of stupidity and catch AIDS. Anymore.
:rolleyes:
Oh, wait. You’re trying to be serious, aren’t you, Ace0Spades? Go away.
FWIW…
It is not improper to alert someone who has mentioned having casual, promiscuous, or whatever sex to the dangers he or she might encounter, and to encourage safe sex. Esprix himself has posted links on the subject in the past.
It is a bit presumptuous to assume that a given poster is ignorant of safe sex practides. It is offensive to hijack a thread to argue sexual practices and dangers.
It is downright absurd to have four threads and counting hijacked for that purpose within six weeks, simply because a gay person happened to mention he was having sex with someone he had met.
I’m not totally sure that every gay person who reads these boards is 100% acquainted with all there is to know about STDs, and it might not be inappropriate, in a thread in which someone is speaking about coming out, to link him or her to a safe sex site that would discuss the dangers inherent in various diseases and his/her options for practicing safe sex.
The point to the hostility on all these threads has been that someone, whether out of bigotry, ignorance, or personal compassion, has found it necessary to preach at the gay men here on a subject that they are quite likely (being members of a subculture at extreme risk) to have educated themselves extensively about. That is what caused the first rant, the second rant, the third rant…
Does that make the situation any clearer to everybody?
No, no, no! If a person feels passionately about something, under no circumstances should they read closely what others say; they should just sort of skim, and fill in the blanks without clarifying first, preferably in a manner that justifies being angry. If they don’t do that, the Pit stops working, and even more importantly it’ll probably cause all sorts of problems in the real world, like people not being quite so much at each others’ throats all the time.
Buncha damn revolutionaries, trying to tear down the status quo.
sirjamesp, did you read the rest of this goddamned thread, or are you just exactly the moronic pea-brain I expect you are?
Fuck off. Royally, at that.
Esprix
Ditto for you, Ace, only perhaps not quite so royally.
Esprix
Still pissed about this, huh?

I understand. You did make yourself look like a complete idiot.
Erm, I think you’re a little confused. Are you sure you know what this thread is about?
Just to remind you, the thread that spawned this one veered off course 'cos of a safe sex warning. This thread, in case you got all flustered, was about gobear’s harsh words to musicguy (all sorted out now, of course). The thread swerved over to sex again, and thus the traditional safe-sex warning popped up.
We can assume one of two things here: either Wabbit read the other thread, and decided to kick up a shit-storm here; or he hadn’t read the other thread (shock!), came in here, saw talk of casual sex, and decided to mention something he feels strongly about.
Hmmm, which could it be? For advice, let’s look to the words of someone who actually comes out with some sensible stuff when he deigns to climb down off his high horse:
Wise words indeed. How about offering some of this benefit of the doubt to Wabbit, instead of jumping on him in the same way that PunditLisa was in a completely different thread?
Let me know when I should worry about what you think.
The Wrong Girl: Just a couple of points, if I may.
Would you mind awfully if I asked you to point out just where I looked like an idiot in that thread? Don’t forget to read the whole thing! There’s a good girl.
As some wider clarification - would the linked thread be a safe-sex warning aimed at straight guys by any chance? My word! To think such things exist!
With pleasure.
You looked like an idiot (and also a jerk) when you stated that you refused to wear a condom with your girlfriend. When people responded by asking you why not, you asserted that you used some form of birth control. So, if you were using birth control, why the hell did you feel the need to come in and get people all worked up about you claiming never to wear a condom (“Which, hell, is true after all,” I could see you snarkily saying behind your computer)?
The OP was clearly about the dangers that came with not using a condom (or any form of birth control), and it looked pretty damn pointless to me for you to come in smugly saying you didn’t use one, and then, when people started to jump on you, back off and squeak “But we do use birth control!”
It looked like a blatant troll to me, like the guy coming into the gynecology thread and stating that he’s never going to need to go see a gynecologist.
As to number 2, sure it is. I never said they don’t exist (and to my knowledge, no one else in this thread did either.)
Either way, james, Wabbit’s post was unwarranted and jerkish - much like you.
And, although I’m sure you don’t care ( :rolleyes: ) I will ask you, again, to fuck off.
Thanks ever so.
Esprix
No offense, sirjames, but it’s pretty obvious you do care what he thinks, else you wouldn’t have justified yourself to him.
I want to insert a word of caution here. Many dopers have expressed a desire for others to practice proper safety. I agree, and I believe that we should all endeavor to be as safe as possible. Therefore, next time, please go through the following checklist:
Cams? check. Curve hexes and curve nuts? check. Carabiners? check. Pistons? check. Bolt hangers? check. Harness? check. Ropes? check and check.
Allright. Now we’re ready to climb that mole hill.
Ooo. Kinky. 
Esprix
Esprix, buddy, just click on this link, or this one, then decide whether it is fair to batter Wabbit for offering unwarranted/unsolicited safe-sex advice in a sex thread.
Black pots who live in glass houses make good sauce for the gander. Or something.
james, I’m thinking you didn’t get a single word of this thread. Mayhap you ought to retry that remedial English course… again?
It’s not that safe sex advice is bad - it’s that when you have a thread that is complaining about the fact that it’s all one ever hears, coming into that very same thread and giving the same advice that everyone is taking a moment to bitch about is asinine.
Does that help, puddin’?
Esprix
Oh, and by the way, posting my own safe sex advice in a thread about someone who has never had sex before, and then in one that specifically is talking about safe sex hardly states your case - unless you’re trying to state mine for me, for which I thank you, you ignorant dickhead. Thanks so much! Big kisses! Mwah!
Esprix
Erm, no, mate - this thread was not about what you seem to think. Wabbit’s input was the first mention of safe-sex here. You seem to have some difficulty differentiating between this thread and a completely different one, you twerp.
As for your defence of your own safe-sex advice - well, how much clearer does it have to be? In the first example, you posted a well-meaning but unsolicited warning - just as Wabbit did in this thread. In the second, you placed more words of wisdom well into a sex thread - funnily enough, this was put in well after the disease side of things had been done to death.
So - we have one unsolicted interjection, and one unnecessary one. And yet no-one tore you to shreds, since it was obvious that you were being helpful. Apparantly, though, you do not seem to wish to extend the common courtesy to Wabbit that others have afforded you.
Re-read this thread. Then point out where Wabbit should have been warned not to be helpful.
If you find such a thing, then yes, it appears that I am a fucknugget.
When you do not, then I think you need to admit that you were too harsh on Wabbit.
Then we can all do a happy dance.
Perhaps you need to take up your control issues with a therapist, rather than inflicting them on the board, SirP.
Good lord, you are a choad, aren’t you? Try reading the thread I linked to in the first reply to the OP. Then try reading the rest of the thread when we talk about both gobear’s comments and - more importantly - why he made them. It’s called a hijack, you pedantic moron - by your logic, this thread should have ended back when go and musicguy accept each other’s apologies. So why are you still posting here? :rolleyes:
