Gay men can have a range of sexual lifestyles. Some are in committed relationships and avoid casual sex, while others have many sexual partners. Intimate partner violence is also common among homosexuals.
Men who have sex with men are at risk for HIV infection, including from anal sex without a condom. Understanding important health issues is key to promoting safer sex for gay, bisexual, and transgender people.
1. Bring your A-game to the table.
When you’re bottoming, it’s important to bring your best self to the table. You should be well lubricated, and you should avoid any deep arse play that could irritate the lining of your anus.
It’s also a good idea to practice your foreplay skills with a friend beforehand. That way, you’ll be more comfortable during sex and will be able to focus on penetration.
Another great position for gay men is the missionary position. This sex position allows for excellent thrusting anal sex and offers easy penetration. It’s also one of the most satisfying positions for the bottom.
Don’t be afraid to try new sexual positions – there are plenty of options out there! Just be sure to ask your partner for permission first, and remember to use condoms. Also, make sure to clean up after yourself – don’t leave a mess behind! Gay dark rooms often provide bins and paper rolls for this purpose. You can also use a towel wrapped around your crotch. That will ensure that you don’t leave any traces of cum behind for your partner to find later on.
2. Keep your mouth shut.
Men who have sex with men can be at risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including monkeypox. To help prevent the spread of this illness, it’s important for all men who have sex with men to be aware of how monkeypox spreads and what symptoms to look out for.
If a doctor is uncomfortable with the idea of gay men engaging in oral anal sex they should say so rather than giving incorrect or misguided advice. This is particularly true for doctors who may be influenced by religious or moral values that conflict with the anal sex practices of their patients.
Anal sex can be dangerous because HIV and other diseases are easily spread through the anal canal, especially when semen is used. It is therefore vital that gay men always use condoms during anal sex. It is also important that doctors do not presume that gay males engage in either “active” or “passive” anal sex. In actual fact, many gay men will play both roles during oral sex. In addition, gay male oral sex is not limited to just fellatio and irrumation but can include a variety of sexual acts such as mouth sucking and face fucking.
3. Keep your body clean.
It’s important to shower before bottoming or flipping, especially if you’re using a large dick or other arse play toys. This will help ensure that you don’t leave your partner with a poopy arse (which no one wants). You may also want to douche before bottoming if you’re going to be doing some deep arse play, as this can prevent a clogged prostate, a condition known as g-spots, which causes pain and itching during anal sex.
While some people may still shame bareback sex, or make jokes about meth or substance use in the gay community, this is toxic shaming and should stop. Shaming makes it harder to talk about sex safety and use barrier methods, which are essential for safer sex. Even if you’re on PrEP, diligent condom use reduces your risk of getting other sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis.
It’s also important to be aware of your own preconceived ideas about gay sex, and not impose your own moral standards on others. If you’re a doctor, you should be willing to learn more about LGBT sexual health and relationships so you can provide accurate advice.
4. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Many gay men have a difficult time seeking health care due to the discrimination that they often experience. However, it is important that they do so to stay healthy. They should try to find a clinician that they feel comfortable talking to about their sexual practices and that is not going to be judgmental.
Gay men also need to be aware of the risks of HIV infection. If they do not use condoms during anal sex, they may be infected with the virus and could pass it on to their partners. Moreover, they should talk to their doctors about the symptoms that they should look out for.
They should also know that homosexual men are more likely to suffer from mental illnesses like depression and bipolar disorder. They should also seek help if they have problems with their body image or eating disorders. They can get help from family members, friends, and local genitourinary medicine clinics that specialize in LGBTQ services. They should also look for a support group. These groups can help them cope with the stress of dealing with mental illness and finding treatment.
5. Be yourself.
Many gay men use condoms when they bottom, owing to the risk of HIV infection. But some use the male G-spot without condoms (the prostate is responsible for much of the pleasure of getting fucked) – and these guys need love, not shame. Likewise, many gay guys need their privacy when it comes to sex. They don’t want to be embarrassed by quips about bareback sex or drugs, especially since drug abuse is common among gay men.
It’s also important to remember that sexual orientation is not a choice. The idea that homosexuals can change their sexual orientation is a myth. If you’re unsure how to approach sex, talk to people you trust. This could include family, friends, or counselors. Then, it will be easier to figure out how to be yourself in the bedroom.
