The Epidemic of
Gay LonelinessBy Michael Hobbes

“I used to get so ecstatic when the meth was all gone.”
This is my partner Jeremy.
“When you possess it,” he says, “you have to keep using it. When it’s gone, it’s like, ‘Oh good, I can go back to my life now.’ I would remain up all weekend and go to these sex parties and then sense like shit until Wednesday. About two years ago I switched to cocaine because I could work the next day.”
Jeremy is telling me this from a hospital bed, six stories above Seattle. He won’t tell me the exact circumstances of the overdose, only that a stranger called an ambulance and he woke up here.
Jeremy is not the confidant I was expecting to have this conversation with. Until a few weeks ago, I had no idea he used anything heavier than martinis. He is trim, intelligent, gluten-free, the gentle of guy who wears a function shirt no matter what day of the week it is. The first time we met, three years ago, he asked me if I knew a good place to do CrossFit. Today, when I ask him how the hospital’s been so far, the first thing he says is that there’s no Wi-
Autofellatio finally explained
Black coffee. Sunbeam naps. YouTube videos of kittens. These are a few of my favorite things. Oh, and cocksucking. Getting mine sucked too, actually. And I think most guys would concur with me on that second part. Most, however, never find out if giving head is as delightful as receiving it. But that doesn’t cease guys from trying to get a cock in their mouth.
No, I’m not talking about “straight” guys like Larry Craig or Highlight Foley. I’m talking about their possess cock and something I bet nearly every guy has tried to undertake at least once — perform autofellatio. (Fellatio means cocksucking, “auto” means self. You get the idea. Check out the Wikipedia page for an… illustrative example and further reading about how the Egyptian gods blew themselves frequently.)
Whether or not they admit it, every guy has swung his legs over his head out of curiosity to see if he could have a taste, so to speak. Many probably tried this before they had ever even received top from someone else. And why wouldn’t they? We typically start masturbating years before we own any actual sexual interaction. But it̵

Oral sex and the risk of HIV transmission
Key points
- HIV cannot be sexually transmitted by an HIV-positive partner with a fully suppressed viral load.
- The risk of getting HIV through oral sex is low, but not non-existent, when a person with HIV does not have fully suppressed viral load.
- Most case reports worry receptive fellatio (‘doing it’) rather than insertive fellatio or cunnilingus.
The PARTNER 1 and PARTNER 2 studies showed that HIV is not transmitted through condomless vaginal or anal intercourse when a person with HIV is taking antiretroviral treatment and has a fully suppressed viral load (Rodger).
As the risk of transmission through oral sex is estimated to be much lower than for vaginal and anal intercourse in the absence of antiretroviral therapy, it is implausible that the risk of transmission through oral sex is not affected in the same way as other sexual transmission risks when successful treatment suppresses viral load.
When HIV is not fully supressed, the risk of HIV transmission through the mouth is certainly smaller than through vaginal or anal intercourse. If undamaged, the tissues of the mouth and throat are thought to be less susceptible to
