I just have a stupidly big lower half X_X (bum, thighs, and calves). It is probably due to all the leg sports I've done throughout life. Jeans shopping makes me cry every time.

Hew doesn't like thick thighs though?

Did some extensive research on HPV not too long ago.... (wall of text incoming...sorry)

HPV has over 100 strains. Most people get infected with it in their life, but also most cases (I just saw 70%, but I swear I've read 90% before) are resolved by the body within 1-2 years. The two results of HPV are warts and cancer. These are caused by different strains, so if you or your partner has genital warts, that does not mean you are at risk for cancer. However, you can be infected with multiple strains. HPV is spread by skin-to-skin contact. If you see visible signs of it (wart), then there's an obvious risk of infection, but it can be transmitted even when it's not visible. (I am unsure if the cancer strains ever make themselves visible besides when cancerous tissue is developing.) For men, HPV can infect the back of the throat (incl. base of tongue/tonsils), penis, and anus. Since it's based on skin-to-skin contact, condoms might not provide complete protection.

In the US, the vaccine is recommended for gay and bisexual men until the age of 26. Gardasil, one of the major vaccines in the US, vaccinates against 4 strains, two of which cause the majority of HPV cancer cases, and the other two of which cause the majority of warts cases. There is another vaccine that only vaccinates against the same two cancer strains. Other vaccines are in development to cover other forms of HPV. As far as I know, there is no issue with getting the vaccine, even if you're already infected (definitely ask your doctor); however, it will not cure the infection. According to my research, in the US, there isn't an official "male-approved" test (for women, it's a Pap smear), but I know someone who recently was able to get tested in their anus for four cancer strains before beginning a vaccination sequence.

tl;dr: I recently did an absurd amount of research on HPV and wanted to feel like it wasn't wasted, so I put it here. In truth, you should talk to your doctor about HPV. Vaccines are helpful if you're still eligible.



You changed your avatar! It looks brilliant.

Okay that sucks... Now this is the time where I begin to panic.

To be clear, most people get HPV in their lifetime and do not end up with warts or HPV-related cancer. Many people never notice as a lot of the strains are considered very mild.

Noooooo. I know it sounds terrifying but recognize that tons of people have sex all the time, and yet the world hasn't ended. Find out about the vaccine and see if you can get that because that will help reduce any risks, but don't panic. People have been having sex since humans first crawled out of the mud (

Spoiler

they probably were having sex in the mud, too

), and it's not like everyone you know has penis cancer.

To be honest, I panicked the other day over a much more serious STI-related thing (

Spoiler

HIV...still need to get tested because I'm paranoid

) and panicked when I first started learning about HPV, so I do understand. But just remember that the world has been spinning long before you knew about HPV. It's something to be aware of but not something to panic about.

Yes, this.

Definitely keep yourself up to date with your knowledge about things like HPV. But it shouldn't hinder your life. Protect yourself as much as you can during sex (wear a condom, etc), and get tested regularly (every 3 months when you're sexually active) and you'll be a-ok .

HPV very often doesn't do anything at all to the people infected. Only the serious strains do!

 

[KmA]

I'm really late, but yay I get so happy when I hear successful loss of virginity stories! I'm just happy when my friends get some in general.

Also, do you guys only get tested after anal sex or after any kind of sex in general? I haven't really had anal but I'm still really paranoid about STDs I should get tested soon.

Before I started having anal sex, I was only getting the urine tests and swabs done, which test for chlamydia and gonorrhea. It doesn't hurt to get tested for HIV anyway, though!

Bringing attention to this post as it seems to have been overlooked:

Hey guys, anyone here in South Yorkshire? I moved here a while ago for work and I find it hard to meet people...especially the gays. Grindr and other apps are there, but I dunno if most people in those look for friendships, y'know?
As for going out, there is only one gay club, and I have been to Manchester for a night out but I hated it :/

Any suggestions? :$

I feel like that's too much. Not knowing something for a very long time just kills me.

Also, second time and it hurt even more. I don't know how bottom and verse guys and girls do it... I did not enjoy it this time at all.

It was just me begging the guy to stop. He was a jerk about it too. I was mad.

I can't do this. It hurts too much. How some people enjoy anal sex is beyond me...

Sorry, just needed to rant.

I prefer to sit on it first, so I am in control of speed and intensiveness. once I'm relaxed enough, positions may be changed.

I hate the "wam bam, thank you sam"-types too.

Seath, if this guy isn't going to respect your wishes about your body, then he is not worth a second of your time. Sex is supposed to be pleasurable for everyone involved. Everything you've posted about this guy lately is raising huge red flags. If you told him to stop and he wouldn't, then that's sexual assault.

Please take care.

Born stubborn me

Of this tree

You gardener

Domestically
I can obey all of your rules
And still be, be

Let's unite tonight
We shouldn't fight
Embrace you tight
Let's unite tonight

I probably care less about it than most people. The thing I dread most is mediocrity. At least if I crash and burn i can pass it off as a protest against the education system (especially given my expected grades)

It's weird how intellectually I'm not that concerned but emotionally I'm pissing and shitting myself in equal measure.

Yeah, sounds like the classic results day mindset. You know in your brain all the reasons not to panic but you can't think yourself out of it.

You seem like a smart guy, so I'm sure whatever's happened you'll be able to move on successfully. Is enrolment in Sixth Form contingent on your grades, or guaranteed?

 

[Escape Goat]

Im excited Mass Effect 4 is going to focus on single player gameplay but disappointed Star Wars Battlefront is multi only. I could really go for an immersive story driven star wars game. Its a shame that 1313 got canned.

 

[Symphonia]

GCSEs, in the grand scheme of things, mean very little. I remember getting all hyped up and worked up over my results but, in the end, they mattered very little. I didn't get the grades I wanted (I got an A*, two Bs, a CC, three Cs and a D) but I still managed to progress on to sixth form and then uni, before eventually launching my own design studio. I will admit its nice to have decent GCSE grades to look at and be proud of, but it's not the end of the world if you don't hit your goal. Best of luck, though.

It's not the most prestigious of places, so I should get in just fine.

Besides, the enrolment thing they sent us said "if your grades are not what you expected, please come talk to us anyway. We pride ourselves on offering opportunities for all our students"

So yeah, they've got a course in bricklaying.

I'm aware of how little GCSEs matter, hence my apathy in the two years I've been doing them. But it'd still be awkward if i did badly. The only thing I'm relatively certain on is English, and that's only because the teacher fawned in front of the whole class over something i'd bumped off in thirty minutes.

I feel you there in the first one. Hell, even when I get a negative HIV result, for example, if I so much as look at another guy, I'm convinced it was a false negative or something and that I've totally got it now. Wish they made something you can attach to yourself that just tells you the moment you get sick lol. But that is what it is.

And with the hot guy, you absolutely should cut it off (the messing around part, but hell,

Spoiler

maybe his dick too

) if he's going to be like that. I've bottomed a couple dozen times at this point, and while it doesn't necessarily get easier insofar as there are still times when it feels pretty damn painful, if you say it hurts, they absolutely should stop right then and there. Doesn't matter how hot you think he is or how badly you might have wanted it before, you, and hell everyone else out there, is way too good to have to put up with that shit.

Eek! I couldn't make it through the Wonderland show.

I actually enjoyed the Anna & Elsa arc despite Frozen being trash, but imo the 2nd half of the show is stronger/darker than the first half. I'd say stick with it

I mean the show does tend to drag and move @ a snail's pace @ times so I agree. A 16 episode season would be better than the 22 plus they've got going.
