Hug
From PaulDS
June 17, 2008
Hey there. I'm glad you're at least talking about this. I have watched so many friends devoured by meth and sex and I have a healthy fear of that combination. These days, a hard night of partying involves Viagra, Red Bull, and my husband. I've had my bouts of internet compulsivity and have tried to just set some sane guidelines. I don't stay online for more than one hour. If I haven't gotten what I need by then, it's time to let it go. I don't go online more than twice a day. Trying to observe those two guidelines has saved me a lot of grief. I got sober to live life and help others. Be well and we're here if things get out of control.

What you said is all too true regarding self esteem in the gay community. I also noticed while out in long beach with my partner yesterday there is so much attitude have never understood this as it only puts people off. Now at 45 I see things very differently. Even when I was young I never was full of my self or treated older men with disregard. Maybe this stems from there low self esteems? I do want to ask you a question, if you don't mind. What is the deal with meth? I watched the commercials on TV and I guess this is a big deal in the community. I don't go out much and I don't go to bars, so I would not know. Other than speeding you up what does it do?

Close Gay Men's Challenges
I am in a long term relationship and hiv neg. I am dealing with internet cruising addiction and occasional meth smoking (3 times a year at most). I have stopped drinking and don't use other drugs, but I want to stop cruising for sex online. I also want to know if my body can heal from the few times I have smoked meth. I've read what chronic use can do to your body, but not what infrequent use can do (or if damage can heal). I never want to use it again.

Open Sex / Pornography Addiction
I'm a gay man in a long-term relationship. For years I've cruised the Internet gay sex sites and "hooked up" with "sexy" men. I play "safer" as they say. I never fuck or get fucked. Mostly just masturbate, or makeout.
