 And just so you know, it is possible for an HIV+ person to have sex without infecting his/her partner, if it is done safely.

Yes, I agree ... that's the problem ... no contaception needed, no safe-sex needed ... right ? After all who's gonna get pregnant ?

I dunno what the statistics are ... but I've seen many and they all favor what I just said (gay = much higher chance of getting and having HIV/AIDS due to no safe sex practices).

I suppose you're right about the rest ... just cuz it disgusts me doesn't mean it should be banned ... does it ? Why is public nudity banned ?

Not sure if you're getting this - the prevention of pregnancy is only one of the many uses of the condom.  Prevention of STDs is another.  Now, for straight boys and girls, they mostly use condoms so the girl doesn't get pregnant (they probably should worry more about diseases, but they don't).  Gay guys, they use condoms so they don't get diseases.  But sometimes they don't, and that's the problem.

According to Dan Savage (newspaper advice columnist and fag), gay people have more sex with more partners than straight people on average, moving them into a higher risk category.  Therefore, they have to be a lot more conscious about the safety factor.  So you're right, but I wanted to make sure you understood why you were right.  Read the intro to his book ("Savage Love") to find out why gay people supposedly have more sex than straight people.

I'm sure it was originally a religious right thing, designed to protect young eyes from lascivious thoughts.  But by now it is ingrained into everyone's head that it just aint right.  I don't think there's anything wrong with nudity or the naked body, but I can't imagine going to McDonald's and having the cashier be naked.  Hell, that might even upset me.  But if everyone was doing it, it would seem more normal.

While I was in Seychelles, I saw a lot of naked European women (German and English, mostly) at the beach (I should mention that they were fully clothed when not at the beach).  It was interesting for about a minute that they were naked, but then it became boring rather quickly.  And then when I was in India, I saw disgustingly poor adults and children of all ages bathing naked in the street.  This kind of grinding poverty is not "interesting" even for a second - it's sickening.  So there's 2 cases of public nudity.  In both instances, the nude people didn't give a rat's ass, and it had nothing to do with sexuality, and everything to do with context.
