Thread: I said "Вон отсюда, обратно в Россию!" for the first time in my life...

And the reason for it was porn. What a coincidence.

Either way, what does gay porn have to do with the Russian Orthodox Church and Putin?

Aha, I should perhaps explain what I meant by "the very concept of recommending $1000/month PrEP as a good strategy to prevent HIV among gay men..."

The acronym PrEP stands for "pre-exposure prophylaxis" -- it can include giving a person anti-malaria drugs before he or she visits a region where there is a high chance of being bitten by a malaria-carrying mosquito.

In the context of HIV/AIDS, the term PrEP is understood to mean that HIV-negative people with a high risk of HIV exposure should be given a special formulation of the same anti-retroviral drugs that are used to treat patients who are already HIV-positive -- these drugs can reduce the risk that the HIV- person will become HIV+ in the event that HIV gets into his or her blood.

PrEP is distinguished from PEP, "post-exposure prophylaxis" -- PEP antiretroviral regimens have been used with great success for years now, in cases where a surgeon, doctor, or nurse is accidentally contaminated by the blood from an HIV+ patient, and also to increase the chances that a pregnant HIV+ woman will not pass the virus to her unborn child.

Now, a growing number of gay activists here in the US are saying that PrEP antiretroviral drugs (which cost about $1400 per month under the brand name "Truvada", and which would probably cost at least $700-$800 per month even in "generic" forms) ought to be prescribed routinely for HIV- gay men who want the "freedom" to have anal sex without condoms, and that private insurers or "Obamacare" should be required to cover the drug, which means that other insurance customers or taxpayers would subsidize the high cost.

If a gay man taking "Truvada" as an anti-HIV PrEP drug has anal sex 10 times in a month, that works out to about $140 per f*ck. (This is in comparison to about $1.50 per f*ck if you look at the average cost of condoms and lubricant.)

And, naturally, very few people can afford to pay $140 per безгондоный f*ck, except perhaps for wealthy pornographers like Michael Lucas, so of course the price should be subsidized by everyone else, including gays who are always responsible and use condoms for anal sex, and gays like me who think that anal sex is "definitely not my cuppa tea", and the heterosexual majority who don't think that anal sex between men should be a crime, but otherwise find the practice extremely uninteresting.

But this is what some gay activists in the US have begun to quietly demand, and I fear that in a year or two, they will be screaming for it as though it were a God-given birthright to enjoy their $1400/month no-condom fucking at almost no cost to their own pockets, because millions of other people will instead pay a few dollars more for healthcare.

And this development, I think, will be watched by Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church with great interest, as proof that they were right to put certain legal restrictions on Russian LGBT people: дай палец – руку по локоть откусят!

And Michael Lucas -- a Russian-American who in the past condemned "bareback" gay pornography -- doesn't care. He's happy to become the worst possible example of a homosexual man (although a rich and handsome one).
