I always thought sex pigs were guys who liked to have sex. Lots of it. Guys like me who really enjoyed their sex, and embraced it with gusto and passion. Turns out I was wrong! According to a recent article in XTRA! sex pigs are gay men who engage in risky behaviors like drug use, bare backing and even (gasp) fetishizing body fluids.
Lets get real.
Not using protection is a no brainer. Of course, that’s risky. In fact, it’s high risk for anyone when it comes to fucking. Drug use? Using drugs is not a risk factor for HIV. It’s activities that are risky, not the mere fact of taking drugs or alcohol. Lots of guys use responsibly. And then fetishizing body fluids. Are they kidding? So it turns me on to imagine receiving cum up my ass, but I don’t engage in that activity, because I know it’s risky. I fetishize it, but I don’t actually do it.
How is that a “risky behavior?” It isn’t.
It is a creative way of acknowledging and integrating that it’s hot to think about.I’m tired of all the pathologizing that goes on around our sex. I’m tired of the judgments.
Are you?
Maybe we just know how to enhance pleasure?
Do you consider yourself to be a sex pig?
What’s your take on sex pigs anyway?
Are we all irresponsible risk-taking fiends?
