Counting differently

A friend of mine said another day that I should change my blog's profile picture to something more 'SEXY'. He was, of course, talking about my picture holding a condom so I was very happy to see recently a comment left about the picture!.

Let's get this straight: the blog never intended to be a 'sexy' tool.

Of course it end up being a bit hotter than your average recipe blog but it is more down to my work than to anything else. I don't sit down to write thinking: wow, I have to make people get a hard on today!.

I use condom at work and extend it to my private life too because we never know who are we fucking with. Working as an escort I already saw a couple of people get infected and one of them died last Easter. It kind of reinforces how things can change just in a second!

I remember once when the condom broke while having sex with a client. I was sick just with the thought of getting a disease, any of them, even didn't have to be HIV. Everything was fine to start with and then suddenly it split. I left the hotel straight to a clinic near Victoria. London has quite a few clinic for sexual diseases and some of them are specialize in attending gays, what I think is very helpful because there are a few people not really comfortable to walk in a straight place.

As any client would say, he was very sorry for the accident and said that I should not worry because he was straight and married. What a bushtit!!!!!. People still think like that and it worries me that his wife have sex with him without knowing how many other people he is fucking and how many of them had a condom broken or didn't have a condom at all!

Everything turned out ok. I have all exams I could possibly have and it became a habit to visit the clinic regularly to get the answer with a negative result. When you work selling sex, every check up can be a rollercoaster. Actually every day, especially when we visit a new client, travel to a different part of the town. I just relax when I get back home and I know I am safe. We never know who will be the dodge client of the day, who may shout at you or ask for thinks you normally wouldn't do or, even worst: who will hit you.

So I guess I count time differently and the picture of the condom will remain where it is right now!

I admire your convictions to practice safe sex at all times. You are a good role model for the gay world.
Unfortunately many people today seem to think that HIV is no big deal anymore and they can continue having unsafe sex as long as they take a few tablets.
It is sad to see so many young people throwing their lives away just for the sake of the additional intimacy that sex without rubbers gives you.
