OK. So I went home with this guy I met last night. We were both pretty wasted. Anyway, we were on his couch, and I tried to rouse him and get him into bed, but he was in some kind of coma.

So sometime in the morning, his ex-boyfriend (who evidently lived with this guy before) bursts in with a chyck in tow and starts taking inventory of what’s his and how much the guy owes him. During the whole thing, we’re lying naked on the couch, albeit covered up. I’m pretending to sleep, but I can hear everything. The ex left, and when my friend and I woke up, he didn’t say anything about it, nor did I mention it. How fucked up is that?

When you break up, either get the keys, or change the fucking locks.

I’ve had weirder experiences, but this one has entered the **scott evil Weird Sexual Experience Hall of Fame**.

Yes, I’ll probably see him again. Maybe on my own turf this time.

Yep, first thing I did when my wife moved out was change the locks. You should tell your friend what happened if you haven’t already. His ex could come back and clean him out if the break up was bad and if he is vindictive.

When I saw the thread title, I imagined a scene like this:

Okay, let me get this straight. You meet a guy _last night_, go home with him and have sex. In the morning, a strange dude walks in and starts demanding his shit back.

1. I hope you practice safe sex.

2. Perhaps the “ex” didn’t realize he was the “ex” until he walked in on you two.

3. I think it’s a tad ironic that you, who admitted to going home with and having sex with a guy you just met, can criticize your friend for not changing his locks after a break up. You aren’t exactly a model of caution, Scott.

All I know is that I have “gone home with and had sex with a guy I just met” many _many_ times since I first came out, with a sum total of one minor ill effect which I won’t go into. But a messy breakup is a messy breakup.

What’s sad is that I was going to write a spoof post about whether or not **scott\_evil** had thought about safe sex because of [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=112950), and I see that someone has beaten me to the punch, sans jocular intention.

And you feel you can point fingers?

Is this _any_ of your business?

Just because it isn’t something you would do does not give you carte blanche to cast aspersions.

AGAIN with the safe sex lecture from a clueless hetero! So **Scott Evil** went home with a trick last night? So what? What gay man hasn’t done that? Do you lecture hetero guys who have casual sex? If not, shut the fuck up.

What do one night stands have to do with changing the locks? Letting a just-met man feel your exciteable bits is not the same kind of thing as having an ex steal your property.

Plus I find it fantastically unlikely that someone who walked in on his SO asleep in the arms of another would immediately start on the “this CD is mine” inventory without at least a “what the fuck is going on?” That’s just ridiculous.

Yep, in the rare case when I would lecture anyone, only the “possible pregnancy” rider gets tacked onto the possible disease lecture content.

Gobear, in every thread I’ve ever read on this board about casual sex, someone has jumped in with a safe sex warning. Trust me, it’s equal opportunity lecturing.

Stop it with the hetero-bashing. 😛

Can I start lecturing soon?

yeesh.

Don’t assume that everybody is a (having trouble finding a swear word that would not make this post easy pickings. . . .) shithead to just gays;

I am a shithead towards _everybody_ I meet.

It’s practi **s** e if it’s a verb. And yes, I do. Sexually active with men :eek: for 13 years now and still HIV- and STD-free. Do you really fucking think I’d go home with someone I’d just met - or even someone I’d known for some time - and bareback him? I do a lot of stupid things, but that’s not one of them.

Ummm… no, honey.

There’s a bit of a difference that seems to escape your tiny little brain. And you aren’t exactly a model of Dear fucking Abby.

Jesus fucking Christ, I post in the Pit to vent, not to get some fucking safe-sex lecture and criticism of my perceived morals. This is what, the third time this has happened? Fucking breeders need to pratci **s** e safe sex too, not just us “disease-ridden” homos.

I wasn’t posting about what I did in the sack with the guy. I was posting about the strange event that occurred the next morning. It’s obvious you filled in the blanks, there, and imagined some kind of depraved, immoral romp that was guaranteed to make me contract HIV. Get a grip.

And when you post on a public message board, you are inviting comments. Some you may agree with, some you may disagree with.

> [@](#):

No one has referred to you as a “disease ridden” anything and as **gigi** stated, they would have said the same thing to anyone. The only thing that would have been different would have been a reminder about unplanned pregnancies.

Hell, I’ve been given the safe sex lecture here. Lighten up.

No shit.

Someone mentions you should be carefull when doing what you did and you feel the need to rip them a new one over it?

You’re the one that needs to fucking relax.

Was I fucking born yesterday? Do you think I’m fucking stupid? Jesus Christ, this plague has been a part of my life long before I was sexually active. So I post something about a weird occurence that may or may not have involved (cover your eyes) gay sex. Then I get all these HIV/AIDS warnings and scoldings from people who quite possibly go out and have “legitimate” str8 sex and never get lectured about it. **Did I once mention sex in my OP?** No. It may have been implied, but never mentioned. If you want the details, ask me.

And I won’t “fucking relax” until fuckwits stop hijacking my threads - or those of others - with grim HIV/AIDS warnings. Do you think we’re fucking stupid? Do you think we all have a deathwish? Do you think we don’t care and tra la la we just do whatever, not thinking of the possible consequences? If you do, you’re a fucking idiot.

However, most of the guys I know are _not_ fucking idiots. That’s why we’re still healthy and alive.

Obviously you don’t realize how deeply this plague has affected our community. If anyone’s in the dark, it’s people like you.
