Gay fisting
HIV-positive gay men and sexual transmission of HCV - fisting is key
Fisting was the sexual peril practice most strongly connected with the sexual transmission of hepatitis C virus amongst HIV-positive gay men in a study conducted in London and published in the August 1st edition of Sexually Transmitted Infections. Although unprotected anal sex has been related with the transmission of hepatitis C in previous studies, investigators from the Sex, Health and Anti-Retrovirals Project (SHARP) found that after controlling for numbers of sexual partners, fisting was the only factor significantly associated with contracting hepatitis C during four years of follow-up.
In recent years there has been a marked increase in the incidence of acute hepatitis C infection seen in HIV-positive gay men in the UK. Unprotected anal intercourse and fisting have been particularly linked with the sexual transmission of hepatitis C, but the exact factors affecting transmission are uncertain. Investigators therefore analysed data provided by HIV-positive gay men about their recent sexual, behav

SEXUAL HEALTH
Sexual practices between men are diverse. Some men like lots of sex, others don’t. Some men like certain types of sex, others don’t. Some men spend lots of time looking for and participating in sex, others don’t.
There are a variety of sexual practices that men can participate in.
Non-genital sexual contact involves holding, massage, and kissing. Licking and sucking may or may not involve the genitals. Mutual masturbation involves guys wanking each other. Most men enjoy oral sex. Some men also enjoy anal sexual contact including oral stimulation (rimming) or anal penetration with fingers, penis or sex toys. Anal sex can be messy and most guys prefer to douche before “bottoming” to sanitize out the rectum of faecal matter.
Other men relish more non-traditional sexual acts like water sports (sexual acts
The exciting anthology, “A Great Gay Book: Stories of Development, Belonging & Other Queer Possibilities,” publishing May 21, is edited by Ryan Fitzgibbon, founder of the now defunct “Hello Mr.” magazine. This page volume collects more than 50 interviews, poems, short stories, essays, graphic panels and more. The entries are compelling enough to enjoy back-to-back-to-back, but they are also worth savoring as Fitzgibbon has compiled selections “to encourage reflection.” The arrangement of the pieces often allows readers to examine an idea or topic such as connection, and how we interact with others, to religion’s impact on gender non-conforming lives, to ideas about gender.
The manual certainly lives up to its title. “A Great Homosexual Book” opens with an article that originally appeared in Fitzgibbon’s “Hello Mr.” magazine entitled, “On Writing a Superb , Gay Book.” Hanya Yanagihara, author of “A Little Life,” interviews Garth Greenwell, author of “What Belongs to You” about what it means to be a gay author and write a gay book. This is bookended by “Saying Hello to New Queer Voices,” in which C
A young man moves from middle England to London to explicit his queer identity, as before unexplored and left unexpressed. From his job behind the block of an underground gay sex club in Soho, he observes the unrelenting promiscuity of the circuit, and a dissolution of the conventions of propriety upheld by the world above. As told to Tom Sale by an honest, anonymous source.
&#;I approach from a town a two-hour drive to the north-east of the London metropolis. The two places are wildly different.
My hometown, in my view as a year-old gay man with a wealth of intimate experience with those of the same persuasion, is incredibly straight. It’s the same no matter where you go; bland sports bars are ubiquitous and uninventive clubs are complacent with their playlists of soulless chart-toppers. Men in firm jeans with sleeve tattoos and skin-fade haircuts brandish white-wine spritzers at the nearest women with filler in their lips and a nice top. I could go tonight and it’d be the exact same experience I had there when I started clubbing six or seven years ago. The queer community was non-e
