Having unprotected penetrative sex is the most likely way to pass on a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Using a condom helps defend against HIV and lowers the risk of getting many other STIs.

If you’re a man having sex with men (MSM), without condoms and with someone recent, you should have an STI and HIV assess every 3 months, otherwise, it should be at least once a year. This can be done at a sexual health clinic (SHC) or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic. This is important, as some STIs do not bring about any symptoms.

Hepatitis A

Hepatitis A is a liver infection that's spread by a virus in poo.

Hepatitis A is uncommon in the UK but you can acquire it through sex, including oral-anal sex ("rimming") and giving oral sex after anal sex. MSM with multiple partners are particularly at risk. You can also get it through contaminated food and drink.

Symptoms of hepatitis A can manifest up to 8 weeks after sex and involve tiredness and feeling sick (nausea).

Hepatitis A is not usually life-threatening and most people make a occupied recovery within a couple of months.

  The history of the gay male identity

  Sex Issue 2023

  The rise of the homosexual identity is tied to industrialization and increased capitalistic practices in the late 19th century.

  By Margaret Giordano -

  Concepts of sex and sexuality are not stable. They are constantly in flux and switching as our community does. This will be a very brief overview of how male homosexual identity has changed over time in America since some of the first colonial settlements.

  Puritan culture in the 1600s was known for its strict rules governing acceptable sex. In their eyes, the only acceptable circumstances for sex to occur were within marriage and for strictly procreative purposes. Anything else was deeply looked down upon. Gay acts were encompassed in the list of deeds that were prohibited, along with acts such as premarital sex, extramarital affairs and anal and oral sex among opposite-sex couplings. However, lgbtq+ acts were not equated with a homosexual identity. Indeed, the concept of homosexuality and a homosexual identity didn’t even exist yet. The punishment for homosexual acts was much the equal as they were for other prohibited sexual acts — repent, accept your punishment, be it

  Looking for the **secret** to be the best foremost you can be? Go up to the top of your game? Get your badge and become a qualified top gun. Superior. I think you find it.

  Here are some speedy tips and tricks from ACON’s Peer Education team that will get you topping those bottoms fancy a pro in no time.

  1. Foreplay before play

  When topping for the first time it can be intimidating so we suggest building a lot of trust with your significant other by exploring each other’s bodies through foreplay before starting insertive sex.

  2. Speak the talk

  Communication is incredibly important when you are topping, particularly if it’s for the first moment. Get comfortable checking in with your partner and asking them how they liked to be fucked. (do they need foreplay? Do they need to be fingered?) Equally, if you know there is something that your spouse does that makes you rock hard then request for it!

  While you are talking about what gets you and your partner’s engines going, why don’t you include what sort of HIV prevention methods you want to be using? Slip in that you are using PrEP or an undetectable viral load – or maybe that you are looking to use condoms. Whatever it is you determine to use, yo

  Would you describe yourself as douche-curious? Perhaps you’ve been douching for a while but are looking for pointers. However seasoned you are at putting things up your butt, there’s always something new to learn! So we’ve place together a beginner’s guide to anal douching with everything you need to know when you want to initiate squirting down below. 😉

  What is anal douching?

  Douching is the act of shooting a jet of warm water or a saline answer into the rectum to clean it out before sex. Douching uses several types of devices to achieve this, each referred to as a ‘douche’. We’ll cover these in more detail below.

  Some people may instead use what’s known as an enema for douching. These are medical devices designed to relieve constipation and are not recommended for douching, as they often show up with a medicated solution to soften stools or employ a far greater volume of liquid than is required when preparing for anal sex.

  Should you douche?

  That’s up to you! Whether you douche or not is entirely up to the individual.

  Many guys like to douche because it reassures them of no surprises when it comes to hooking up. But for those who keep a fibre-rich diet and refreshment plenty of
