I was reading craiglist recently, under missed connections, and I came across this disturbing post:
“My friend was visiting from out of town this weekend and spent a significant amount of time in the Hole at Jackhammer Saturday night. He is a furry cub and had unprotected sex with 25-30 people. If you participated in this scene, please get tested in the coming weeks!”
How scary and also sad. A friend of mine, who also read the post, emphasized the sad part, thinking that perhaps this scene exemplifies what can happen when someone from out of town (assuming he's from a rural town with no opportunities for hooking up) comes to the big city; he must have felt like a kid in a candy shop trying to catch up for lost time.
I take this post as a frightening reminder: safe sex only, guys. You don't want to spend the rest of your life on expensive medication.
And be thankful for the person who made the craigslist post; perhaps he might be able to save some lives in the long run.
The life you save may be your own.
