But anyway, he had five like side 60 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 3: bottles of each of them. But anyway, the next day 61 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: I asked him about it, and he was like, oh, 62 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: I don't take prep.

Is coursy. 85 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 2: I love too that we just love were in the 86 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: space of mental health where we just are diagnosing, because 87 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 2: let's be very clear, my friends, no. 88 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 4: I'm not. 89 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: Na well for the audience. 90 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 2: Doxy cyclin I don't even know if that's not saying 91 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 2: is it even doctor? Doxy silent cyclin cycling circline doxy 92 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: broad spectrum tetral. Another guy there work symbiotic commonly prescribed 93 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: to treat various bacterial infections and certain parasitic infections. So 94 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: bacteria infections include anything from and here this is what's important. 95 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: Anything that causes respiratory infections, so like pneumonia and bronchitis, 96 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,799 Speaker 2: skin infections like acne or cellulitis UTIs, and then sexually 97 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: transmitted diseases like chlamydia and syphilis, also tick born illnesses 98 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 2: like lime disease. But it's also a common treatment for 99 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: acnea roisation. 100 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: I say all of that to say. 101 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: None of those things are probably it because prep was 102 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 2: right next to it, but that particular one could be 103 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 2: used for anything else. Now, the fact that he said 104 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 2: he has it and had to get the prep in 105 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 2: order to be diagnosed with this one, my concerns are 106 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: hold on. My concerns are if he knew or claims 107 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: that this antipibiotic. 108 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: Clears up or saves him from getting. 109 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 2: Something like a chlemittee or a syphilis within thirty six hours, 110 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: I would be absolutely concerned for my health because that means. 111 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 4: He's more probably. 112 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: Out here not using protection. I do like the. 113 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: Kind of preventive measure of getting this antibiotic. However, I 114 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: would be concerned with how he is having sex with 115 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: other people. Now, you didn't say that this was your partner. 116 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 2: You said that this is a guy that you've been 117 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: fucking with for six months. To me, and the fact 118 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: that you're also saying that he's hot and cold, he 119 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: probably hot and cold dealing with other people. 120 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 4: Oh, not that what you was saying. 121 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: He could be more hot with others, you know what 122 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: I mean. 123 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 2: The only way I think you should consider maintaining this 124 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 2: situationship if you like him, would be to. 125 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: Ask for test results, because I. 126 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: Would say, you're clearly in a position where you're fucking him, 127 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: but you're not together. You're not in a relationship with him, 128 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: so it's not exclusive. And if you see that this 129 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: is the medication in his cabinet, I don't think there's 130 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: any reason to shame him or call him a hoe 131 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 2: or but he could be engaging in more risky sex, 132 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: which makes me believe it should be easy. If it 133 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: was this easy for him to talk about why this 134 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 2: medication is in his medicine cabinet, this would actually be 135 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 2: probably a really good candidate for someone to be like, Hey, 136 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 2: that's dope. 137 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: I see like you got. 138 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: Preventive measures in your medicine cabinet. Do you mind if 139 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 2: we share results? And because he has the medication, I 140 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 2: would say on a monthly. 141 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 5: Basis, if you think after six I mean, I'm not 142 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 5: saying that he can't nor should she ask, right, I 143 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 5: mean his initial reaction from after six months to be 144 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 5: asked results it's to be I. 145 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: Mean, I'm not gonna lie the way he whether he 146 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: was lying or not, his reaction was, hey, I only 147 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 2: have the PREP, which PREP is still associated to gay men, 148 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 2: a gay man drug to keep them from getting HIV. 149 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: We've talked about PREP. 150 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: If you haven't yet, we have a whole episode two 151 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 2: speaking about it with Sex with Athlete over on Patreon. 152 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 2: But PREP by a man, I would automatically assume you're 153 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: also dealing with men, let's be very clear. And then 154 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 2: the other one for him to so nonchalantly say it's 155 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: something I could take if in case I'm exposed. 156 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 5: To maybe he's not comfortable enough. Sure, David, I'm gonna 157 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 5: say this real quick. It doesn't matter that they've been 158 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 5: fucking for six months. He still might not be comfortable. 159 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 5: She'll let her know that he is intimate and it 160 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 5: is what it is. We as men could be very 161 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 5: insecure by our own sexuality. 162 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 4: Absolutely right.

But I think 279 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: when it comes to sex and talking about our health 280 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: that becomes difficult because we weren't taught how to do that, 281 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: our dumb asses millennials, and I don't know what gen 282 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 2: Z sex education looks like now, but we literally were 283 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 2: just taught abstinate or else you're gonna get pregnant and die. 284 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 2: So I think that there wasn't enough conversation about how 285 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: to realistically, without shame and without judgment, have a very 286 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: real conversation about health.
