TBR

[The Minsky Moment]

Is TBR back up?

[Josquius]

Yeah, well, I feel sorry for him. And I thought I wouldn't be *that* guy when I watched Queer As Folk, as dumb and naive as it sounds (there is a character there in a long term relationship with a HIV positive partner).

How does that work?
Especially in the days before gay marriage (marriage kills sex apparently :p).

Is TBR back up?

I don't think so.

I think I lost my TBR access when the forums were reset.
Though TBH it's not really a big deal to me.

Mart, I thought you had a regular partner. Or two.

Don't do what you don't feel comfortable with. You'd basically have to maintain the same level of caution you would with a new partner forever and not only would it feed your hypochondria, you'd never be able to get properly intimate.

Norgy style?

Perhaps "Norwegian cancer" should enter the urban dictionary as slang for alcoholism.

I'd pick other pathologies.

Uncool.

?

Oh is an uncovered penis up your ass what you consider properly intimate?

I think she means his phobia will be an emotional barrier.

Maybe, although she said "get" not "feel" which suggested to me a physical act.

Hmmm, I ended up in a YouTube spiral a few nights ago watching some documentaries exploring to what extent "bugchasing" is a real phenomenon in the US and UK.  The sunnier and more relevant aspect was that there were a lot of interviews with negative/positive couples talking about HIV etc. and the issue of getting infected didn't come up once.  The real strain on the relationships was the confrontation with mortality, the worry about the positive partner getting really sick, etc.

I don't mean this to be mean-spirited or flip, but Marty, based on his Languish persona at least, doesn't seem like the type who'd be willing to care for a seriously ill partner.

Granted, based just on our Languish personas, that could be said of many of us.  But if you were to make a list of the posters who would be the most unwilling, he'd be high on the list.

*shrug* I guess you are wrong.

Well, good for you.

People who have met you outside of Languish have said that your RL personality isn't all that much like your Languish personality, which is why I qualified my remarks as being about your Languish personality.
