 Brave of you to bring that up. I’ve stopped pointing out the obvious - it is clear that most members don’t care.  From my perspective - if you want me to take out my wallet; be on notice it contains both cash and condoms…it’s a package deal.

unless you suck dick with a Condom on - you can get every single one of them through oral sex.

Yeah, that really sucks (sorry :-) )

So then why will the medical community refuse to vaccinate someone my age?   They presume that someone my age (low 60’s) has already contracted HPV.  But there are different genotypes and some are cancerous and some aren’t. Is there not any protection from vaccinating someone on the assumption that, while likely exposed to HPV, they hadn’t contracted a bad genotype?

It’s counterintuitive to me, but I’m not well informed on the science. 

First, it’s rectal or anal cancer, not colon. They are different (but adjacent) things. HPV can give you cancer of the butthole. This pretty much only occurs in individuals with a suppressed immune system, like people with organ transplants or HIV. Full cancer practically never develops if someone is otherwise healthy. 
 

I did browbeat my dr into giving me the HPV vaccinations. However, they told me the reason they don’t generally give it to people anywhere near our age is they figure it’s shutting the barn door after the cow got out (and died of old age). Nearly every adult has been exposed to HPV, and we olds are probably having less sex with fewer partners and are less likely to expose anyone else.

They clearly don’t know me or seen the beautiful men I’ve been entertaining the last year or so since exploring this side of my sexuality 🤣

Okay, so I had to navigate back to the first page to see what the actual topic was. The original question was, Do providers lose business if they insist on using condoms. As a consumer, allow me to answer on their behalf. Yes. If you only do one thing, you automatically lose the potential clients who don’t want that. Total tops or bottoms won’t get business from other total tops or bottoms. If you advertise Safe Only or Anything Goes, you won’t be hired by guys who want the opposite. 
 

You know what else I haven’t seen in this thread? One single person say “you do you.” We are very fortunate that at this point in time, we can choose whether we want to use a rubber without taking our lives into our hands. We each have our own risk profile. If you and I are not getting ready to fuck, it’s none of my business if you want to wear a hazmat suit or if your tramp stamp says “cum hole” plus an arrow. 
 

As gay men (or however you identify), we are each responsible for our own orgasm and our own safety. If you want your service provider to use a condom when he fucks you, 1) communicate that up front, and 2) bring condoms and lube to the meeting. Make it part of the play to put it on his dick yourself, and slide that dick up your butt. If you want it raw, tell him that before you meet and make sure any up charge for doing it or breeding you is factored into the quote.

This is patently false.

The majority of anal squamous cancers (the most common form of anal cancer which affects the cells that line the anus) are caused by an HPV infection.

For the sake of scientific integrity, I am working on sleeping with a larger sample size and report back here with the results.

I think around 500 would be statistically significant. Report back when you have reached that number. I look forward to hearing the results. Next Thursday.

Best thing people can do for these is be on Doxy Pep, which usually comes with a PrEP prescription now. It will lessen chances of getting Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Syphilis by 50-80%. In terms of antibiotic resistance to those. It is a concern in the medical community, but some antibiotics still work, but the needed dose is increasing. We are not in a situation currently where we have no defense/treatment.

With Doxy Pep, it still means less overall cases and new cases getting caught and treated sooner because access to Doxy Pep/PrEP requires testing every 3 months at least. Herpes can be managed with anti-viral treatments that lessen outbreaks and transmission. Warts are tied to HPV, which most people are vaccinated for (and if you aren't that's something that can be done at a pharmacy pretty easily.

We can "well what about _______" all day, but ultimately all we can do is mitigate risk best we can, and via modern medicine we can do a great deal. If your goal is to never catch anything ever, the only true solution is abstinence (lol).

I use that and get it free at my sexual health clinic. I use it if I’ve been at a sex party or club and had multiple partners there.

These are the statements that are not correct. No question about the relationship of HPV to anal cancer.
