Subject: How do I let them know?
Question: I was reading your response to a guy who
admired straight guys and got a bad response. I have a problem
relating to that. I go to the local X-rated video store,
which has both straight and gay sections, but more straight
stuff. I see lots of horny guys there all the time but how
to let them know I am up for "helping them out"
with their video. We all know why they are renting and what
they will be doing. I would sure like to help out. What
do I do to make my intentions known and not get a bad response.
I do not want to offend but so many need it so bad. They
do not even want to make eye contact. You must have some
little tips.
Dear Andy: I think you need to realize that not only is the straight guy renting a video planning to jack off, but also importantly, he is planning on doing it thinking about the women in the video.
So,
just because a guy is horny doesn’t mean he is up
for M2M sex.
That said, there are certainly potential sex partners in
the straight section of the video store. You just need to
pick them out. Generally ‘straight’ men who
are available will make eye contact. So you might linger
in the straight video section and see who you can make eye
contact with. Also a straight man looking for a ‘walk
on the wild side’ might move over to check out the
gay section.
Many adult video rental stores also have video booths in a separate section of the store. This is where you are much more likely to encounter available men, than in the front. If your store does not have video booths, find one that does. In these places a guy can slip into the back video area and accept a blowjob with the utmost discretion.
A friend, who makes a speciality of this, recently took me on a tour of the video stores of Portland. I’ve never seen a place with such an amazing number of places with management provided gloryhole video booths, fronted by video rental stores. Other cities should be as open as Portland.

Subject: Gloryholes
Question: I don't get gloryholes. How can you have
sex without knowing who is on the other side? I would always
imagine that it must be a troll on the other side. It just
seems so sleazy. Plus, I need to see the look in a guy’s
eye to get hot for him.
Dear No Holes: Cock is king at the gloryhole, instead of looks, personality, money, etc. If you don’t meet the beauty standards of the moment but you have a big beautiful cock you’ll be the star of the gloryhole over the most handsom guy with an unexceptional dick. And there are lots of us for whom dick is the number one consideration.
When you slide your cock through a gloryhole you are supposed to be imagining that the guy on the other side is your hot fantasy man, and when you are sucking a cock through a hole you should be imagining a butch stud on the other side. If the sleaze of gloryholes bothers you then they may not be for you. But for those who enjoy them the sleazy adventure is a component of the experience.

Subject: Dental work
Question: Everybody talks about waiting to suck cock
after dental work, but what kind of time? I have had three
teeth pulled about two weeks ago, and I’m just wondering
what the total time to heal is so I can get back to sucking
cock? Is a dental damn the way to go for now or should I
just hold off. Thanks.
Dear MM: After two weeks you should be fine to return to sucking cock. You just need the wound to be healed over with new skin so there is no direct access to the flesh below.
Unfortunately, all the things we do to protect ourselves from catching HIV through unprotected oral sex actually does little more than make us feel safer. Some men believe that by not brushing their teeth before going out they protect their gums and decrease their risk of catching HIV from oral sex. Unfortunately, HIV is so small that it can be seen only with an electron microscope. It only needs a minute hole to get into your body -- the kind we all have in our tonsils and from normal gum irritation. This is part of the evidence that suggests the risk of getting HIV via oral sex is low.

Subject: Herpes and gay saunas
Question: I have a question about herpes. I recently
went to a gay sauna where I got (and gave) a few handjobs.
No oral sex, no anal sex, and no saliva was involved. This
is generally considered to be a low risk activity, at least
as far as HIV is concerned. But I know that herpes can be
transmitted when no symptoms are present and I'm worried
about how risky these activities might have been. None of
these guys had sores that I could see. I washed with hot
soap and water in the shower several times while at the
sauna and certainly after my last encounter. How prevalent
is herpes among the cruising community? How likely is it
to be transmitted by hands when no symptoms are present?
I'm kind of freaking out here. Any info you could provide
would be very helpful.
Dear Worried: If you washed well with soap and water, and your partners displayed no symptoms, it is unlikely that you caught herpes from the practices you engaged in. But over 30 million Americans are infected. A condom may not prevent you from getting herpes and penetration isn't necessary. The virus can pass between partners during foreplay involving close skin-to-skin contact or during oral sex.
Considering all the potential things that you can catch, herpes is pretty low on the worry list. There are medications to keep it under control. Also, in most people, the longer you have it the less frequent the outbreaks become.
