Please, I know some folks are into 'sounding' but no. Ouch. She'd have to pay *me* if she wanted to do more than that. :P

A nurse I know once told me that when she used to do STI screens that there are less painful ways to do certain tests, but that for some people they don't go as gently as they could to discourage risky behaviour. I always found that funny, if only because I'm sure it's more likely to discourage going to get tested.

I have no idea what sounding is and I'm a little worried to look it up.

And yeah, that method seems like it would really undermine their ultimate goals. Though, you have to wonder how impartial 80 year old grandmothers are.
 
And miss out on an old lady sticking a cotton bud up my arse? nothankyou.jpg :P

I'm going to guess that most European countries have these services for free - here in Ireland I can get a full STI/STD screen for free, as many free condoms and lube sachets as you can fill your pockets with, free vaccination program against Hepatitis A and B and free counselling. All paid for through the public health system under a program called 'The Gay Men's Health Project'.

So it always seems so crazy to me when I hear about American medical bills. Yeouch.

Well here in NYC there are free clinic to do the full panel of STD/STI. I'm sure other cities have it too. I have one literally 5 mins from my apartment and get all of my condoms/lube from there.

Also Scott you wouldn't need to do STD tests in the first place if you stopped barebacking.

Outside of seasonal

That is simply not true. Any sexually active person should get tested regularly. Oral sex presents risks of contamination (both performing and receiving) such as: chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, HPV, syphilis or even HIV (even though some have very low risk of contamination). You could also get oral herpes simply by kissing.

The only reasons for which someone doesn't need to get tested would be that (1) they're not sexually active or (2) they're in a monogamous relationship and went to get tested with their significant other.
 
Congrats :)
Was the counselor needed?

I had been seeing a counselor for anxiety issues that were manifesting. So it was an ideal support person to have and I felt I needed someone there. I am glad I did as not a lot of did any talking so needed someone to break that up.
 
Cotton bud up the ass for a STD test? Why?
Gonorrhea and chlamydia are common STIs that can infect any mucosal tissue, and isn't uncommon among MSM (men who have sex with me) who are the receptive partners.

You, I like you.

And any sexually active person that knows they're clean isn't going to get tested unless they do risky things or are in one-night stands regularly. Come on, son.

In any case Scott really should stop with the stupid shit. But really, I'm in the minority of outright hating whenever Scott posts because it's practically "what stupid shit has he done now?" to me.
(Did I just publically state my annoyance with Scott? Oops.)

I am not condoning what Scott does, far from it.

Anyway, you're just stating what I have been saying. The only way to know you are clean is if you have been tested at some point obviously and if since your last test you either did not have sex, or are having sex with the person you have been tested with.
You do not need to chain 1 night stands to get infected. Sucking a dick of a guy who claims to be clean is enough.
 
Well today my grandpa randomly asked my mom if I was gay. He said he suspected it ever since my two gay friends came with me car shopping a few weeks ago, although they are far from flamboyant. LOL
 
I'm guessing because we went from "Happy Birthday" to "I'm breaking up with my boyfriend"

Anyway. Why are you thinking about breaking up with him?
I dunno, I just think I'm too clingy with him.

I worry when I don't see him for a day (he lives 1500 miles away from me and I don't have a cell phone), whenever I need help I go to him, I spent most of my time talking to him, I sometimes worry he's ignoring me when we're talking in a chat PMing each other and he's not responding but he's still chatting in the main chat. (Although that's because the website likes to eat PMs.)
 
I think I'm gonna have to break up with my boyfriend. :\

Well, it doesn't seem like things are going that bad apart from the distance, maybe you should try to chat on another service or something and see if he still ignores you

Well that won't work since he went to bed a bit ago. :P

I'm just a tad bit annoyed because it showed on Facebook he was available and I thought his other friend had called him for me because I needed to talk to him. >_>

I don't think he could be ignoring me unless "Hey if you're there, I really need to talk to you for like 10 minutes." is annoying.

Its probably for the best. Sounds like you have a lot of issues with abandonment that you should try to deal with before you get involved in a relationship.

But at the same time, I really don't want to break up with him because being with him makes me happy and less inclined to suicidal feelings.

I mean, I have admitted to him I worry about things happening to him and I lose contact with him.

I'm probably worrying for nothing!
 
Have seen a professional about this?
I had seen one and she blamed my boyfriend on them. Which is, quite frankly, a load of garbage.

These attacks of depression and wanting to kill myself started in September of last year and I didn't even meet my boyfriend until this January. (And started dating him the same month)

She also said my gender identity disorder is a phase.

So, I stopped going.
 
If you find somebody annoying, don't respond, skip their posts, or ignore them. You don't need to keep making snarky comments, I think everybody gets it.

I aint even the only shady one on this page LMAO. Oh and the bit about the therapist saying she's going through a phase is bus.
I've never heard of a therapist say something like that to their clients.

Come on, what? lol. No. (my sarcasm detector's broken, if you were being sarcastic)

Exactly. "Risky things" means anything beyond kissing someone new or jerkin' em off. Any number of STIs can jump around with a blowjob.
 
So yesterday I went to the doctor because I have pink eye and I thought a urinary tract infection. They did an STD test, it cost $150 for that alone. $25 for the visit, $20 for the urinalysis, and $35 for the medication. I won't know my results of the STD test for a week, I pray I have nothing.

You had unprotected sex, come on buddy, you had to know this was coming.
 
Nothing. Just that the mood in here swings from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other quite quickly.
Drama seems to follow this thread

...couldn't you just change your behavior instead of dumping him? that seems like the rational thing to do. "lets punish him for something I'm doing wrong" - you 2012
