Are you old enough to remember the danger and excitement of gay sex?

I sometimes forget that sex between men, has for the most part always been apart of humanity. I remember during the initial AIDS crisis of the the 1980's a guy telling me all about his gay cruising stories and he was in his 60's back then. I remember when I was little and my mom told me never go in the gas/filling station men's bathroom alone. This guy told me most likely you might have caught 2 guys going at it.
If you can remember those bygone days, what was your most vivid memory?

I came out in 1973 in Boston, when I was 25. Disco bars were born 2-3 years before disco really surfaced to the whole culture. Cruising was everywhere. It was a glorious time. Excitement overwhelmed any felt danger.

Sex was so much more than today's Top/Bottom "scripts". For many of us, there were no scripts -- sex was all about discovery and chemistry and sensuality -- among men like me, who tended to settle into a monogamy orientation before HIV struck.

The very promiscuous and had meetups in libraries, department stores, beach dunes, and various bushes private areas of parks. I moved to NYC in 1982 and stayed safe (to this day, no HIV, no STDs, no STIs. Very sadly, I watched it all get out of control. By the end of the 1980s, I recall that 50% of the gay men in NYC died.

I see the same amount of pre-AIDS promiscuity these days -- and worry. PrEP is too new, possibly open to HIV mutations, and preliminary research is hinting at long-term kidney and liver damage. Plus, PrEP does not prevent the STDs and SDTs that are affecting more guys.

I hope that one day, a way is found to eradicate HIV virus, and gay men can totally experience the excitement of gay sex without any risk.

It is hard to believe that things have changed so much. For some of us older guys the whole gay world was limited to just what you and a couple of cousins or a buddy did during a sleep over.

Now Stonewall is heading for its 50-year anniversary. And to judge from all the porn on the web there is a lot more interest in m/m activity than anyone could have ever imagined.

The straight culture keeps talking about only 2 percent of people being gay. But if you forget the labeling, it looks like at least 30 percent (or more) of guys are up for some kind of dick play.
