I am 22 years old and lost my virginity around 16. Since then I have about 40-50 partners in terms of “true” body count. While to straight people that’s a lot in terms of sex partners I think as gay men hookup culture comes more natural. I’ve also traveled to Europe a few times and had most of my rendez-vous over seas.

When it comes to anything that isn’t anal sex I lost count after 19.

During the last 6 years I’ve had many good and bad experiences with hookup culture. The two bad experiences (if you discount sloppy bottoms or small dicks which isn’t someone’s fault) is having a sexual assault happen (that’s I took to court and go justice) and a herpes scare that still makes me wonder if I have it still - which is not big deal to many.

I think my three principles for hooking up is

• wear protection
• don’t play in your playground (scene)
• don’t be a home wrecker

I have little to no regrets but wish I would have been more picky about the few guys who gave me head - or the FTM that didn’t clean out 🤢
