I was at an aquarium with a wonderful display tank featuring a 50ft tall window to walk up to, and appropriately huge whale sharks of some sort swimming past. It's absolutely amazing to be right beside such huge creatures; I was not prepared for how it would feel to witness.
Can't you take medication soon after you've had sex with someone who has HIV to drastically reduce the chance of it getting infected proper?
[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;51218610]Can't you take medication soon after you've had sex with someone who has HIV to drastically reduce the chance of it getting infected proper?[/QUOTE]
my guess is that he heard about the other guy having HIV days after the fact
It's been 2 months ever since I had unprotected sex and I asked the guy a few times and he said he's negative, yes he could be lying or it happened with someone else. I'm flipping my shit because my crotch's lymph nodes are a bit hurt and that's a bad thing. I'm mostly certain it's an STD but it could also be cancer or a different kind of infection so I'm pretty much doomed anyway. I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow
[QUOTE=inebriaticxp;51218593]If it is the HIV you're worried about, remember that it won't find anything until a month or two after you've contracted it. Chill for a bit before you actually go get tested[/QUOTE]
You could say that about most STDs really.
All STI's and HIV are - in the presence of good healthcare - manageable. A lot of common STIs are curable too. Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis.
But I get the anxiety. I once thought I had contracted herpes and freaked out for a good week. When I finally saw the doctor and he said "this isn't herpes!" I acted like I won the lottery and very much embarrassed my friend who was there as a translator because I was in Spain lol.
Point is, even if you do have HIV, you will be able to manage it. You will be able to go to support groups. It won't be fun at first but eventually you will continue living.
I went and got an STI check the other day and after giving my sex history they were like "You are the perfect candidate to go on our free PrEP trial for four years!" And considering prep isn't subsidised here that's like $5000 worth of medication! Basically no way I can get HIV now! Mwahahaha.
But yeah PrEP and PEP are worth looking into. It's basically the same drug people with HIV get but a little weaker.
Oh right. Hi. I came back because I got Obduction and Facepunch was the only place I could rant about it. But then I realised even that doesn't sit with my low tolerance for spoilers.
Anyway. I got a promotion at work, started taking anti-depressants, my boyfriend left me, I quit alcohol and started seeing a personal trainer four times a week and this Sunday I will join a gay water polo team.
But mostly I want my boyfriend back :(
I am fine though because exercise and anti depressants work! For me anyway. Though they do make me tired.

[QUOTE={TFS} Rock Su;51205725]You're not alone in that.
I have a bad feeling that I'll end up in alcohol abuse after I get a job. Also I just hate hiding ya know.
It's awful.[/QUOTE]
That's what I did! Alcohol was my friend for almost a year. Then it made my boyfriend leave me, gave me actual depression - not just anxiety - and took all my money even though I was earning ten times as much in my new job.
So I started exercise which will get me a boyfriend (hopefully the sexy skydiving instructor and software developer), make me happier and save me mone- oh wait no it doesn't do that last one. But still!
[QUOTE=gerbe1;50821641]So I got a graduate job and it's great because I get lots of money but the problem is there appears to be no career progression and the result of this year is I will have no job at the end of it (it isn't guaranteed in the program) and no actual technical expertise.
At this stage I really wish I learned a martial art, started having sex at age 16 and got good by 18 and could be like one of my friends who gets free holidays to Fiji and stuff as long as he has sex with the guy paying for it.
Escorts are great and make tonnes of money! Sigh.
Hello yet again Gaypunch, it is me. I climbed a waterfall:

I have two friends who ride bikes all the time and they're probably the hottest. With their abs and things. One broke his femur though in an accident when his brakes gave out but I am sure that was a rare incident :ohno: I got to play boardgames with him at his parents place and he introduced his dad to me as "dad" and I said "hi dad!" and felt embarrassed for about er... six months now.[/QUOTE]
This was my last post. I probably was quite drunk when I made it. But same thread? Why has gaychat slowed down so much :'(
From when I started posting in February to now, it seems the gays here have gotten more out of life... thus becoming busy with IRL things. People who've posted about being lonely and/or unsatisfied with their direction in life starting posting more and more good things going for them.
Well, not all, but more than before.

It is why I stopped and why I am back!
Not as much blatant shitposting as there used to be because it's contsined in steam chat instead

I'm pretty guilty of turning this place into a personal whine box myself, and for that I apologize. I know no one wants to listen to that shit all the time, and I know there are other places and other times where that's more appropriate, but I've made it a habit to check this thread a lot, so some of my bullshit will slip through the cracks, unfortunately. I genuinely don't intend to upset anyone or ruin the mood :s

Sparking a conversation on the internet is not what I tend to do. I just chime in from time to time.
It's a whole other story irl but even then I'm still fairly reserved.
I want to whine about living in an RV and being homeless but once I started on something like that I don't stop and I don't want to bother you guys with my problems.
[editline]19th October 2016[/editline]
Really it all feels rather hopeless as try as we might we can't find anywhere even semi-permanent to park it. Every RV park is booked solid, every craigslist ad turns out to be a bust.

I thought these were just traits of being Finnish.
[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;51226756]I thought these were just traits of being Finnish.[/QUOTE]
I've got a fair bit of Latino blood in me to balance out the mostly shut-in Finnish lifestyle. I enjoy the company of people.
Sure, the Finn part of me does want to just have me stay by myself and my thoughts from time to time, but sometimes it's just better to go out a bit and join your family/friends and whatnot. Though now that the winter's coming, I'm more inclined to stay inside rather than being outside and freezing my balls off.

I just quit my job that I hate
having no income combined with having no budgeting skills at all means i'm already broke
I have my last check coming in on Friday but it's only partial hours
still, it just feels so fucking great to turn off my alarms and not going in there
and what made it worse was that they're all the worst kind of fagbashers
it was never really a big problem for me personally because i like to keep my social and work lives 100% separated. i never really got close to any of them, never felt a need to come out as bi at work
but they just hired a transgender girl in the office and while everyone in the shop is polite and professional while she's in earshot, once she goes away out again comes the transphobia bullshit
exhausting work, good money, great hours, horrible coworkers
glad to be gone
now to scour film sites for a low-to-nil-paying PA job and try to climb the filmmaking ladder

and try to find a sexy masseuse/masseur to fix my back and shoulder issues i got from a year and a half at that dead-end hellhole
I just managed to find a Finnish guy with a rlly cute butt.
And he's also in the city of the uni that has a co-op agreement with MY uni. :freakout:
What are the odds? :sex101:
all of these folks going out and getting some while im still trying to find out where i put my libido (did i have one? i forget. fuckin absentmindedness)

Take him for a beer and he's yours to keep. Or sauna.
Fuck it, take him to a sauna and have beer in there. Now that's a date.
Picked up my guitar for the first time in 3 months and immediately got a cut on my pinky.
Maybe this is a sign :v:

a sign that you must form a new band,

If I were to join a band, I think my preferred position would be rhythm guitarist or lead vocals. Those two things are what I'm best at

Bassist is just as important as the rest of the band, silly!
I finally got my boyfriend to call me. I don't like using the term ex because I am still in denial. I felt super happy listening to him talk again.
This is probably not good for me in the long run, but if anything comes close to sniffing amyl that isn't drugs and alcohol, it is a phone call from him.
