Whether fucking, dating, or getting more serious, talking or communicating
about sex, status, and other things are important. Talking can be tough
but there are all kinds of creative ways to do it. Do what feels right for
you. Here
are some tips:
Don’t wait to talk. When things get hot, it is hard to put on the
breaks. Try and talk before clothes come off and before getting high/drunk.
Talk about what you’re into. Do you want to suck/get sucked or fuck/get
fucked? Ask about or tell HIV/STD status—don’t assume. Based
on the info, do you
need or want to use condoms? Talking says you respect yourself and other
guys and you don’t want to hurt anyone. Most appreciate that.
For the longer term venture, each person should get tested for HIV and other
STDs before losing the rubber. If you have something, talk about it. How
can we play safely? Talk about whether hookups with others are ok. What
are the rules/expectations about sex with other folks? This may change your
agreements about sex.
