Hey y'all,
I've received quite a few comments and emails about my blog post from a couple of days ago about the "Two Minute Bottom" and I thank you all for your interest in that. There was one response though that I feel I must address. Here it is:
Adam,
I found your blog while trying to pick the LBGT section (of the 2008 Black Web Log Awards). I'm voting for yours b/c it's truly interesting and entertaining. However, one thing you said caught my eye in this post... the wet spot.
I hope you were talking tongue in cheek and not being literal. If otherwise, please practice safe sex consistently and use a condom. I lost my best friend many years ago and I'd hate for that to happen to you.
You don't need to post this, it's just a personal message for you.
Take care and hugs.

Hey Concerned New Reader,
First of all thanks for your vote for me for the Black Web Log Awards, that means SOOOO much to me. Even though you said I didn't need to post this I decided to anyway because you brought up such an important point.
As you all know I write quite a bit about my sex life. At times I've been known to have been quite descriptive, talking about when and where and how and what position and how it felt and what he did and what I did, etc. Thinking back on some of my posts I realized that in the retelling of all of my sex-capades I tend to gloss over one important detail. Most of the time I fail to mention my use of condoms and to the six of you who I haven't already fucked (LOL that's a joke, there's really about thirty of you who I haven't already fucked... yet! LOL) you'd think that I don't use condoms. Well, my friends that's far from the truth. I'm a big advocate for condom use. That's half the reason why I'm able to last so long to have all these bottoms cumming the way I do. Y'all ain't think I was doing that shit raw, did you? In fact it's scary to me if a bottom comes to me with the idea of raw sex, especially if I'm not in a relationship with or don't know the person like that.
This reminds me of a conversation I had with Will Kane, who is the author of a black gay erotica book, entitled Forbidden Fruit: Psalms Of A Black Master (if y'all think I'm descriptive, this blog is Highlights for Children compared to his books). Will talked about how sometimes he mentions condom use in his book and how sometimes he doesn't and how it could potentially take away from the passion of the story. And I guess he's right. His books are about exploring sexual fantasy and condoms unfortunately are very much a sobering reality. Now I'm thinking about why I never incorporated my condom use into the stories I tell which are indeed my reality.
I guess it's because for me it's a given. Putting on a condom to me is just as natural to sex as taking your clothes off or unbuttoning your fly. If I tell a story and I go from me and I guy kissing at the front door to me long stroking him in his bed you'll assume that somewhere along the way we got naked. I guess I kinda feel the same way about condoms. As hot as all my experiences have been they all contain that awkward 45 seconds where I must ask "So what you wanna do?" or "Do you wanna feel this?" or "Do you want me to put it in?" No matter how or how much I ask the question it never ceases to be uncomfortable. Once I get an affirmative response, if I get an affirmative response, we lube up, I strap on a condom and we go off into ecstasy.
So kids please don't think I don't use condoms because I do and you should too. EVERY TIME. Lord knows I'm not perfect and there have been mishaps, but most of that shit was in the past. It's crazy to believe that in 2008 there are homos out here consistently and purposely not wrapping it up, but unfortunately there are. There's not even a valid excuse not to use a condom, especially here in New York City, the city gives them away. Not only at health centers but at gay and straight bars and restaurants. And for you Magnum users there are even organizations giving those away now, that's how I get mine. ;) So wrap it up kids!
As far as "the wet spot" is concerned. The wet spot or a series of wet spots for me can be obtained in many ways, none having to do with unsafe sex. For example: If I'm fucking from behind and the dude cums onto my sheets while on his knees or laying on his stomach, there's a wet spot. If there's sweat generated during the sex, there's a wet spot. If I rip off the condom before I cum and shoot all over him and in the process hit my pillows, the headboard and the wall behind us, or if he's on his back and cums like that, there are wet spots everywhere. All of which are hot during sex but become super gross after you cum and are to be avoided at all costs.
Thank you so much again for your vote Concerned New Reader and your concern and I hope this calms your fears.
