Back in the day I would plow through anything, even if it smelled like a can of tuna fish, I would just breath through my mouth. But I always bagged it up, was just embedded in our minds that if you didn't you would get aids.
These days STI's / STD's seem to run rampant and nobody gives a shit if they give you one. I am glad that I have slowed considerably in my advanced age. Performance reasons have certainly curtailed me making my rounds, but in a way I'm ok with it. All the bare backing, drug use,
@U_N_I_2nite said it well in his previous post, going into a cave of lost souls is a dangerous activity these days. IDC if they have a cure for aids, I still don't want it. I don't want Gonorrhea either. At my age its not a good look going to the dr because I have puss oozing out my cock and I'm pissing razor blades. I prefer the piece of mind knowing I am not putting myself at risk. But of course that circles back to the performance issues at my age, if I didn't have them I probably would be making my rounds but always bagged up for the spelunking experience!
Stay Safe Gents!
