I’ve going on a gay cruise soon and most of the people have unprotected fun onboard. I’m always safe but feel more and more pressure to do bare. How would you fight against this extreme pressure?

I went on my first one in February without the intention of hooking up with anyone. There’s something for everyone on the gay cruises. Plenty of shows and daytime activities - don’t get intimidated thinking it’s all circuit parties. The average age is certainly older and there are plenty of guys in their 60s or even older. If nothing else, you can just get drunk by the pool like I did. Don’t worry about what others think. You do you, brah.

Maybe it’s just my generation talking, but isn’t this still extremely dangerous? Even with PreP? I’d join the other fish who just got drunk by the pool and be my bitchy judgey self. Do NOT partake in anything you’re not comfortable with. It’s one thing to choose to partake in something knowing the risks and ending up getting burned, and another thing to get pressured into something you’re not comfortable with and getting burned.

I was mainly into bare last 3 years but now back to condoms. Too many other infections around in the gay hookup scene, not all easy to treat

If you really don’t like it and don’t like the pressure, advice above is good. But.... if the pressure is also in your own head, then maybe try it, assuming you’re single and on prep. Yeah it’s a fetish some take too far, but I enjoyed it. But expect to get some penicillin in the butt afterwards.

How do you know people do this? If so sure and it’s not your thing, best cancel plans or go on plain/ family/ Disney cruise.

Watch a doc on STIs before going onboard

What’s your opinion on what I wrote on my Grindr profile? “I am looking for a top who wants to have fun. If you’re not mobile, don’t hit me up. If you’re only here to collect pics, don’t hit me up. If you’re here to waste my time, then definitely don’t hit me up. Some of you talk big game over message but don’t live up to that expectation in person. I am tired of the flakes and the last minute excuses. I love di*k but some of you can be di*ks.”
