and presumably
forget about all of the warnings that TLC gave us in 1992.
With a new staph “superbug” on the rise in urban areas among sexually
active gay men, we find it hard to jump ship and grab onto Josh’s
muscle-neck as he swims ashore without a rubber floating device. Will
it be sink or swim for this star of such pro-condom favorites as Quarterback Sack, Manly Heat: Scorched, and this year’s multiple-GayVN Award nominee Link: The Evolution?
We know there’s no time like an election year to put issues out on the table, but we have a sinking feeling that our longterm affair with Mr. Weston is drawing to a dismal close.

As a reminder, this new bug can be transmitted even in the presence of a condom. It requires mere skin contact. In a way, I’m thankful for this new bug because perhaps it will give those in the condom mafia an opportunity to reflect on the inadequacy of their own values in fully protecting people’s health. In the midst of all the condom propaganda, never do I see any promotion of monogamous relationships as the ideal. The reason is obvious of course. Easy and frequent sex means money – not only for condom companies themselves, but the sex industry as well. Imagine if this was a dermal ~virus~ on the level of hiv. People would be really screwed. The bottom line is that we all make irresponsible choices that are potentially life-threatening.
