4. Rainbow Youth & Family Planning Ass’n – www.curious.org.nz www.curious.org.nz Is anal sex important? Because such a big deal is made by heterosexuals about men having intercourse with women, a lot of people think that anal intercourse is the only way gay and bisexual men can have real sex with each other. This isn't true. Anal intercourse is just one way of having sex. There's nothing special about it apart from that it is the sexual activity that carries the most risk of HIV transmission. Your anus can be sexually stimulating just like your penis. This is because it has a lot of sensitive nerve-endings around the outside and also inside it, just like the nerves in the head of your penis. When these nerve endings are being touched or stroked it can be a real turn on. You may find you like anal sex the best of all or you might not like it much at all. It's up to you. However, the most important thing to remember is that you must use a condom and lube to protect yourself from HIV and reduce the likelihood of getting other STIs. There are some men who only enjoy being the "top" (doing the f**king), and some men who only enjoy being the bottom (getting f**ked). But most like it both ways. It's good taking turns at being top and bottom. The number one rule is to use a condom and plenty of water or silicone based lube for your's and your partner's well-being. Be happy with your ass You have probably been told as you have grown up that you’re a** is a dirty place and shouldn't be touched. This is silly. People should be happy with all parts of their bodies, and if they aren't, it might mean they aren't happy with themselves generally. It is true that you get rid of waste out of your anus, but that's not the only thing that it's good for. You p**s out your penis, but you can do more things with your c**k than that. Your anus is only dirty when it hasn't been cleaned - just like any other part of your body. Also, by using condoms and lube there is protection from all sorts of bacteria as well as HIV and STI's that may be residing deep inside.

5. Rainbow Youth & Family Planning Ass’n – www.curious.org.nz www.curious.org.nz There are lots of different ways for gay and bisexual men to make love together. Here are a few examples: kissing, cuddling, stroking and holding somebody else (no risk of getting an STI and no risk of HIV) jerking each other off, either together or in turns (low risk of getting an STI and no risk of HIV) sucking each other's penis, either at the same time or taking turns (definite risk of transmitting an STI but almost no risk of getting HIV). Blowjobs Mouths are soft and warm which makes having your penis sucked feel really good. If you are doing the sucking, hold the other person's penis with one hand and put it gently into your mouth. It feels nice and smooth. Run your tongue up and down his shaft towards the head, and try to keep your teeth out of the way... they're hard. Don't stress about swallowing semen, it just tastes salty. The thing to understand is that many STI's are passed on though oral sex, however HIV is NOT easily transmitted this way. The risk of getting an STI or HIV increases if you have cum in your mouth and have any cuts or sores in your mouth that it can get into.
