It seems like straight men threads asking for help, don't get much response.

Is it just me, or is this the case?

Hope I did not offend anybody with this post.

I wasn't aware of that.  I'd never intentionally dismiss their needs for support.

AIDS isn't for sissies.

I don't see that happenning either. If I have something to offer, I will offer that to to anyone, straight, gay, bisex, male, or female. It doesn't make a differance to me. Where I can offer some assistance I will. I don't always respond to all posts, and to all new comers to the site. Eventually I will post something to them.

To tell the truth I haven't really made any distinction between gay, straight, male, female, or geographical location for that matter. Although I have noticed that most people are Caucasian.

Many of the threads started by heterosexual guys are looking for local support groups. Unless I happen to live in the area they do, I honestly can't think of anything productive with which to reply.

I have certainly not seen anyone turned away from here, unless they were antagonistic or hopped up on goofballs.

"Many people, especially in the gay community, turn to oral sex as a safer alternative in the age of AIDS. And with HIV rates rising, people need to remember that oral sex is safer sex. It's a reasonable alternative."
