While this is incredibly stupid behavior (risking a deadly disease to enhance 'eroticism'), I would wager that the actual number of gays who intentionally court HIV is about the same as the number of straights who intentionally court hepatitis by engaging in 'scat' or 'watersports'. I.E. a very SMALL percentage. Still, I'm sure it won't stop 'people' tarring all homosexuals with the same brush.

...I would wager...

I disagree. A "normal" homosexual would find satisfaction with someone who was "clean". gaijin's point is that flirting with death is PART of the erotisicm of bug chasing.

I understand your point to be that hepatitis is a risk when engaging in watersports etc. There IS a risk. However, those engaging in these activities are seeking the thrill of that specific experience. That they could become infected probably never crosses their mind.
