I am a gay man and I don’t go around having sex with everyone, i am very selective and I like building relationships
As compared to whom? All those straight men and their renowned self-control?
As a gay man, I could absolutely be getting a blowjob in the next ~2 hours (conservatively) if I dropped my standards enough - almost anywhere. I don’t think that’s true for straight men; self control isn’t the limiting factor.
Saying gay men lack self control is a different claim entirely, not to mention offensive.
With gay men, since they are having sex within their own group, the amount of self-control for that group directly affects the rate for that group.
ETA: given some napkin estimates, it's actually more like a 10% chance, though it wouldn't be surprising if it jumped up to >50% in a month or so depending on spread.
Listen, as a gay man, I’m just going to go ahead and say we are not the greatest at self-control sometimes.
But, living in Chicago? The minute they made the vaccine available for monkeypox, there were lines out the door. Through the roof demand. (Through the roof of Steamworks, because in a move that makes total sense but is also totally hilarious, the first pop-up event was at a bathhouse.) We will get this vaccine in a heartbeat.
But we can’t. Because, in part…the FDA slow walked the inspection of the single plant that produces this vaccine. So it won’t be at full capacity for quite a while.
