STIs run rampant. While sex-ed courses focus on STIs more than anything else, most don’t focus on the importance of condoms for your psyche. Many queer men have thought about HIV or other STI’s during sex, especially, when not wearing a condom. That sort of anxiety-ridden sex is not going to be fun. That’s the last thing you want to have on your mind during sex. You want to be able to enjoy it and not worry about STIs. That’s why safe sex is sexy. It allows you to relax and enjoy sex without thinking about HIV (or other STIs).
