As the media storm regarding former college wrestler Michael Johnson's sexual escapades (pictured above with his Instagram handle 'tigermandingo')with more than 32 men in a five months goes on, a gentleman who claimed to be gay wrote this interesting piece below. Naijaman decided to publish this to try and give the perspective of a gay man and may be help us understand what goes on in the gay community. So readers,what do you think,leave comments below. Thanks
From Johnmaynard:
As a gay man and Level 5 power bottom who is fresh out of his slutphase, I have sort of adopted this superficial "method" if you will that I feel minimizes my risk of getting HIV from a partner. It's entirely based on using good judgmental judgment. Based off of his social media accounts, would I sleep with Johnson? No. I wouldn't because his username is tigermandigo. That's already a bad sign to me and means he's sexually promiscuous and more at risk to bareback and bear STDs.

When I chat with guys on grindr and the conversation turns to hooking up, the first things I ask are: "Bb?" or "Bare?" If the guy gets excited about that then I probably won't hookup with him because he's more likely to have done it and thus more at risk for having an STD. Other times when we exchange pics and after he send me penis photos, I'll ask: "Any penetration pics or vids?" If he sends me pics/vids of him barebacking that's not a good sign and makes me more apprehensive about hooking up with him.
I also ask if the guy is into orgies or multiple partners. Not that I have anything against people who engage in stuff like that, but the likelihood that they are more sexually promiscuous and more at risk for having an STD is greater. So I tend to steer clear.
After a lot of chatting, I'll pose the question: "Are you poz or undetectable?" It's a weird question but it puts them on the spot because a lot of HIV positive guys think it's ok to withhold their status if they are undetectable. If they answer something along the lines of "Um, no, I'm negative, wtf" then that's a good sign.
