Hi toxicgun,
I hope I can also learn a bit more of your experience with HIV and if it gave you difficulties to have sexual encounters.
When I got sexually active with men, it was still the period of promoting condoms to prevent AIDS, they did not even use the term HIV, so that was what I did, I was top and fucked always with condom. After about 8 years I became a bottom, and also then, it was always with condom.
After about 10 years being a bottom and having safe sex for 18 years, it got the feeling of condom fatigue, so I was having the most passionate sex and when the guy asked me if he could fuck me I said yes, but with condom, so he went for a condom, but when he opened it, put it on, all the horniness was gone, not only for me, also for the other guy.
It was not a one-time occurrence, time after time, when I was ready to get fucked and the condom appeared, the horniness was already gone before the condom was put on.
That was the moment I stopped enjoying sex, I avoided top guys because I did not want to be disappointed anymore in bed.
Untill 1 year later, I went to a bath house just for having oral sex, but I've met a gorgeous guy and ended up in a cabin. We were French kissing and then I felt how he was feeling between my legs, to find out if I was fuckable...I did realize he wanted to fuck me, and I also realised there were no condoms in the cabin...
I've opened the little brown bottle and sniffed a lot because I really wanted to experience this with him.
And so we did, it was my first bare sex with a stranger and I felt living again.
Sometimes I'm a bit jealous, not because men have HIV/are undetectable, but because they always enjoyed sex the intense and pure way. However, I guess this depends of the person individually and how they deal with it.
I'm on PrEP for about 5 years now, so even bare sex is for me equal to safe sex, and I never ask about the status of my sex partner.
Sorry for the long reply, but I hope it gives you also the insight that the feeling can change from fear to re-alive.
Regards
