Are you a virgin?

Use condoms... two if you're feeling cautious.... :)

Do NOT use two condoms at the same time. Latex will stick to other latex, and could cause both condoms to tear. Use one condom per erection. I know you were joking, but people need to know these things. :)

Oh, and I hope those of you saying you're going to get hookers are joking. If you're not, enjoy your AIDS.

In places where prostitution is legal and regulated, prostitutes have the same rate of STDs as the general population or lower. Since they are required to use condoms 100% of the time and get tested often, they are among the lowest-risk groups.

Yeah, that's one of the funny ignorances about such things. That and the more sexually liberated a place is the lower sexual crimes tend to be... in similar areas anyway. Pretty much the whole thought that things like prostitution and porn turn people into crazed sex maiacs that will sexually assault anything that moves is wrong, and in many cases... the exact opposite.

By the same token though, you really shouldn't be pressured into having sex. Yeah, even as a guy. If you don't feel ready don't worry bout it, it's fun, but if you worry about it to much wanting to have sex to much your going to build the expierence up on a pedastal so high it ain't going to be as good as you expect. I've seen it happen to a couple friends of mind.

Prostitution and porn can lead to other issues that aren't as readily obvious though. It's more an issue of responsibility.

I'm not a virgin, so my piece of advice is that if you do choose to do it, do it with someone you at least honestly are interested in having a relationship with. Even if things go sour, the memory can at least be a bittersweet one. Even then, try to be absolutely certain before you commit to something like that, because even if it's just meant to be fun and games, it can still mess up your rationality if you aren't ready for it. My fiance nearly left me back when we were still in the early part of our relationship because I was still messed up from my previous relationship.
