Fisting men gay
Although the bathwater has long since turned tepid, neither person moves. Limbs float on highest of murky liquid, skin smelling of lavender and eucalyptus. The ebb and flow of liquid against the body subdues the soul, transporting thoughts to an oasis of infinite, rippling pools. A sudden movement awakes me, tearing me from distant sought tranquility. We look at each other across the water; resigned, withdrawn, distant. He hoists himself onto his knees; falling liquid smacking on liquid. He shuffles closer, liquid frothing as it crashes against his body. The eruption destroys the stillness, ushering in a new period of wakefulness and anxiety.
Beneath the surface, his hand explores, crawling into the unexplored darkness. As the hand seeps deeper, my breath quickens. The entry of a finger transports me to my last rectal exam; the intrusion of a third hits a nerve that causes my back to contort. As his body disappears beneath the surface, he whispers, the sound barely escaping narrowly parted lips.
“Relax”.
The breath tickles the lob of my ear.
“Just…Relax…”
I had known it was going to happen.
Earlier discussion had spurred angst, trepidation, reluctance.
Fear.
Sexual health for gay and multi-attracted men
Having unprotected penetrative sex is the most likely way to go by on a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Using a condom helps protect against HIV and lowers the exposure of getting many other STIs.
If you’re a man having sex with men (MSM), without condoms and with someone new, you should have an STI and HIV try 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 vital, as some STIs do not generate 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 diet and drink.
Symptoms of hepatitis A can come into view up to 8 weeks after sex and include tiredness and feeling sick (nausea).
Hepatitis A is not usually life-threatening and most people make a packed recovery within a couple of months.
MSM can avoid getting hepatitis A by:

A young man moves from middle England to London to accurate his queer identity, as before unexplored and left unexpressed. From his job behind the lock of an underground gay sex club in Soho, he observes the unrelenting promiscuity of the circuit, and a dissolution of the conventions of propriety upheld by the world above. As told to Tom Sale by an honest, anonymous source.
“I arrive from a town a two-hour drive to the north-east of the London metropolis. The two places are wildly different.
My hometown, in my view as a 24-year-old gay man with a wealth of intimate experience with those of the same persuasion, is incredibly straight. It’s the same no matter where you go; bland sports bars are ubiquitous and uninventive clubs are complacent with their playlists of soulless chart-toppers. Men in close jeans with sleeve tattoos and skin-fade haircuts brandish white-wine spritzers at the nearest women with filler in their lips and a nice top. I could go tonight and it’d be the exact same experience I had there when I started clubbing six or seven years ago. The queer community was non-existent in my homestead in middle England, so I escaped to the capital when I was 22. I wante
