411 on "LatinFlava" on rm and m4rn, etc.

[+ Axiom2001]

For months I have been interested in getting together with "LatinFlava" who now has a very steamy vid at http://www.rentmen.com, but in one of his vids, I question whether or not he's involved in safer sexual practices as he gets fucks mighty heavily, and I cannot see a visible condom. The top looks to me as NOT to be "gloved" at all.

 

I sent an email to LF and asked if the guy who gave him that "deep" yet hot plugging wore a condom. He (LF/Eric) responded back affirmatively.

 

I just returned to the site and to LF's (Eric's) ad and second vid. Again, I saw what I viewed the first time around.

 

Do any of you guys know anything about LatinFlava? Have you had any experiences with him? This man who'd really like to meet him and "get with him" really desires TO KNOW, but I am hesitant if he bb's!

[Guest Michaelnc]

Well, I don't know anything about this guy. But here's what I do know: if you have safe sex with him, it doesn't matter whether he barebacks with other guys or not. The whole point of safe sex is that you have to assume anyone you have sex with might be HIV positive. As long as you don't do anything unsafe - and we all have to take responsibility for our own health when it comes to HIV - you should be fine. Right?

[JoshAB]

assume anyone you have sex with might be HIV positive

Yes. Assume they are Everything positive and decide what you can live with. At this point, I still ain't ready to suck a gloved cock. Bareback....nope thanks...no matter what the ad say.

I still don't understand why you are hesitant.

 

Let's pretend that yes, he barebacks in that video.

What makes him different from another man or escort whom you have casual safe sex with and who doesn't have a video barebacking?....

Thanks to the men who responded to my thread! I take your advice and words and appreciate what you presented.

 

Now, to those men who have actually seen this hot young man of whom I have a lot of interests-- write away, please!

 

(I love what LF has written to me in his 5 emails during the past year; now I desire to hear from some previous/present clients of his por favor!)

"What makes him different from another man or escort whom you have casual safe sex with and who doesn't have a video barebacking?" Hey, safe sex is only safer. You need to assume that all partners are potentially high risk, but with a partner known to bareback, there is no need to assume unsafe practices, you KNOW that man definitely has had unsafe sex and has put himself at increased risk. You pay your money, you take your choice. I would choose to stay away.

I still don't get it.

 

So, if you are with an occasional partner (escort or not) "not known to bareback" and/or who in videos practice only safe sex you feel a bit safer and less subject to a potentially high risk?

 

Ok....

Statistically you are safer. There a cadre of people who never engage in risky behavior and have a low risk. Then there people who sometime use safer practices and the third group is those that never use safer practices. Current knowledge suggests that the last group is group most at risk and therefore most at risk to transmit given that all other circumstances are equal. Someone who is seen using a condom is not in group three. Someone seen not using a condom is not group one. They both could be in group two. Since group one is safer than group three and they both could be in group two, the one not in group three is safer than the one not in group one on average. Granted since both could be in group two and various high and low subgroups in that group, in any individual case you may be at higher risk with the seemingly low risk partner but statistically, you are safer in the long run staying away from potential group 3 members.

All that aside, be as safe as you can every time you can is still the best way to avoid transmission.

Nothing to be argued about that.

 

But my point is that when you have sex with an occasional partner (escort or not) you have absolutely no clue of what group yr sexy buddy is part of.

 

So, whenever I have sex I try to put my occasional partner in the 3rd group.

THAT to me is safer.

[+ Axiom2001]

Okay, guys-- your points, although slightly diverse, are well-taken! I will consider what you presented as well as continue to practice "safer sex" whenever I am with an individual. Thanks for giving me "some food for thought!"

As clean and logical an exposition as one could ask for, but, for the sake of us kids in the back seats, next time include a Venn diagram.

I think this Venn does it Primative but best I could do. Well when it printed out it all went to hell so f*ck it.

Safe sex. Safer sex. It's all the same message. Rule of the road: Never believe the escort or client if they say they are neg. And two play like the other (escort or client) is positive. And if all this worries you too much don't hire, don't pick up street trade, don't pick up at the bars, don't pick up online. Stay home and masturbate.
