The Kindest Cut Of All 3

Just to show you fags how beautifully balanced and fearless this blog is, herewith is a link to a site that just hates the idea of male circumcision:

The Kindest Cut Of All 2

According to a news report published on 22 February 2007 on the My Way website, scientists have announced, following 2 trials in Kenya and Uganda, that there is no doubt that circumcision reduces men’s chances of catching HIV by 60%. Apparently, the trials were deemed so definitive that the tests were halted early.

Dr Kevin de Cock (go figure) of the World Health Organization AIDS section said, “circumcision is the most potent intervention in HIV prevention that has been described”.

Fascinated readers will recall that circumcision had long been suspected of reducing men’s susceptibility to HIV infection because the cells in the foreskin of the penis are especially vulnerable to the virus.

According to the news report, given the delays and difficulties in developing an AIDS vaccine, the failure of microbicide trials in Africa and India, the potential of circumcision as a new weapon against HIV has become even more significant.

But, the report cautions that solid evidence is not justification for mass circumcisions. Logistics, cultural and religious issues have to be considered. Some African countries, like Swaziland are implementing “Circumcision Saturdays” where local clinics, normally closed on weekends, would be staffed by doctors offering to cut 40 men a day.

It is important to point out that the news report states it is unknown whether mass circumcisions in say, Eastern Europe where there are concentrations of AIDS epidemics, would be effective, since AIDS there is contracted by fags and drug users.

The report was probably drawing a distinction between the 2 risk groups, but FuelMix wouldn’t be surprised if fags and drug users heavily overlapped.

A Tale of 2 Starbucks

FuelMix found himself deep in Fagland more than once on the same day. That was unusual since FuelMix doesn’t live or work downtown. But it was a working day that started early and went late. FuelMix was tired. His pedicured toosies hurt and his swanky cowboy boots were becoming a pain in the plantar.

Twice FuelMix had to catch his breath. FuelMix had been very ill, stressed out and under the weather. So, food was not on his mind. The only thing that would do it was a Tall Mocha.

FuelMix sloped into the first Starbucks, located on a street corner in Fagland. He grabbed his Mocha and looked around for an empty seat. The place was shabby and peppered with twinkish squealing Faglanders whose every sentence began with “Oh my God….” Amongst them sat middle aged dudes, looking rather unwashed, but wearing very gay and age in-appropriate clothing.

The place had the air of urgent desperation. It was animated but hollow, functioning but not alive. When FuelMix scanned the place for an empty seat at a fag’s table, the fag did his famous head rotation. FuelMix had seen it before in a certain sauna and his blood boiled.
Several times FuelMix thought it would be fun to throw the hot Mocha into the fag’s face, but decided it would be a waste of whipped cream.

FuelMix wedged himself into a small space at the window counter, between 2 attitudinal twinks with no money but abundant pretensions. The Mocha was fine and appreciated. The clientele was underwhelming.

Hours later, FuelMix needed a refill. There was another Starbucks in Fagland, a little further up from the first location, and located next to an organic grocery. FuelMix peered in through the plate glass window. There were people there and the place was nice and tidy.

FuelMix ordered his Mocha and looked around for a seat. The clientele were older fags in their 30s, better dressed, more subdued in their conversation and…personable. FuelMix was deep in thought and paced about with his drink. Three times fags offered seats at their table and cleared away their newspapers to make room.

FuelMix sat down gratefully and smiled. The fag across the table began a polite non-intrusive conversation. FuelMix was impressed and chatted. As the time came to leave, fag shook his hand and some of the other fags waved and said goodbye.

FuelMix shook his head in disbelief. 2 Starbucks deep in Fagland, serving exactly the same product, located spitting distance from each other, could not have been more different.

Fags, Meth, Sex & The Net 5

Presumably by now, fascinated readers have seen the previous postings in this series, which were also written today.

It’s hard to know where to begin without being accused of bashing fags. But straight up, it appears that an HIV fag on meth cannot blame his condition on his ill health. He can only acknowledge his choices, his habits and his love of hedonism.

It’s a fine line between hedonism and addiction. Just like there’s a fine line between genius and insanity.

One of the truths of fagdom, is the incessant call of sexual hedonism. It’s so fuckin’ easy to get man to man sex, even straight guys can’t believe it – and when they do, they’re jealous.

FuelMix said long ago in this blog, that it was emotional pain that drove fags into (the sometimes reckless) pursuit of hedonism. The recent comment that HIV fags resorted to meth to forget their HIV status, backs this view.

More importantly, FuelMix has long maintained that part of the new paradigm of being an urban fag, was the development of emotional intelligence – a trait that was missing in many of the Faglands he’d visited and a lot of the fags he’d run into.

The physical deterioration of the brain caused by meth use (and weed use for that matter) are becoming well documented. The catalogue of psychological dysfunction are precisely those traits that show up consistently in Fagland and in fag behaviour. Combine that with high concentrations of HIV fags in a small geographic area, and you have a cluster of men who are effectively sub-standard across the board, in all areas of their lives.

The reader is referred to the comment quoted at the end of Fags, Meth, Sex & The Net 1.

In the very first posting on this blog entitled, “Get The Right Answers, Ask The Right Questions”, April 27 2006, FuelMix asked inter alia

“Why the “lifestyle” produces so many chronic underachievers?”

Perhaps this series has given a partial answer.

Fags, Meth, Sex & The Net 4

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Fags, Meth, Sex & The Net 3

In a BBC report of 22 May 2006, meth usage globally, outnumbers heroin and cocaine.

There is increasing evidence that meth is used frequently by fags, seeking a euphoric high that is said to last all night, and then some. Hardly surprising if earlier postings in this blog about fags and their hook on hedonism, are accepted.

Obsessed as they are with their physical appearance, fags may not be thrilled to hear about “meth mouth”, a condition in which the gums and the teeth rot. This condition was first noticed in rural areas of North America, and is now showing up in urban areas of Fagland and clubbing heteros.

Other thrilling attributes of meth use are ravaged and diseased skin, paranoia, mood swings, depression, violent behaviour, kidney failure and internal bleeding. But hey, it triggers uninhibited sex……that’s the main reason fags take it.

Fags, Meth, Sex & The Net 2

In May 2006, the United Kingdom announced its intention to reclassify Meth as a Class A drug. This was in response to the large number of meth labs springing up all over the country – in the same way that they are mushrooming all over Europe and North America - particularly in the rural areas of North America.

Meth is sold as crystals, pills or powder. It can be smoked, swallowed or injected. Meth is cooked up using a handful of household chemicals. In addition to being massively addictive and triggering complete sexual inhibition and euphoria, it also causes a rush of physical energy, hallucinations, voices in the head, uncontrollable facial and body itching.

Users on meth are frequently wired for more than 24 hours and can go for days without sleep – only to crash hard afterwards often for several days.

As a meth user commented, “you borrow from tomorrow with amphetamines. It's definitely not a health tonic."

Fags, Meth, Sex & The Net 1

FuelMix was doing some research on Meth.(methamphetamine) a.k.a. “crystal”, "ice" "go-fast", "crazy medicine"

In August 2005, the BBC web site reported the results of a study on Meth done by the University of California, San Diego. Meth users were found to have physically altered their brain – for the worse. This was because they had larger areas of their brain involved in attention, motivation and the control of movement. Specifically, they had larger volumes of the basal ganglia and parietal cortex. They also fared worse in tests of brain function.

However, if the person was HIV+ the impairment was even worse – and the volume of certain brain areas shrank. The brain region affected by HIV govern higher thought, reasoning, memory and learning. In HIV cases, the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia and hippocampus shrank.

The basal ganglia controls movement. Meth users who were also HIV, exhibited tremors similar to those seen in Parkinsons Disease.

Each volunteer in the test had a brain scan and completed cognitive tests covering learning, recall, verbal fluency, information processing and motor functioning.

The head of the research team made the following comment:

"In HIV-infected people, the cognitive impairments are associated with decreased employment and vocational abilities, difficulties with medication management, impaired driving performance and problems with general activities of daily living, such as managing money,,,,,,[and] impaired decision making capability”

Fags And Weed

OK…this post is really gonna hit a nerve. It’s self-evident that, for whatever reason, fags and weed are often found together. Look at online profiles and you’ll see references to “Mary Jane”, “bud” “toke” and “420 friendly”, to name a few.

Fags doing weed, will, like str8s doing weed, describe themselves as “recreational drug users”. FuelMix has made a ton of enemies by maintaining that “recreational drug user” is only a convenient, politically correct cover-up for a person who is in fact, a part-time addict.

Toking fags will squeal that weed is a relaxant as well as a mood and sensory enhancer.

Weed affects brain chemistry and thereby, the physical condition of the brain. Having (unwillingly) spent part of his teenage years in a morgue – courtesy of a conspiracy between his parents and medical relatives – and being forced to look at post-mortems of weed-infected brains, nicotine coated lungs from cigarette smoking, constricted blood vessels and fucked up hearts, FuelMix has never done weed and truly wonders what the attraction is.

Recent studies from the United Kingdom, reported on the BBC website on 10 December 2006, suggest that young people, between the ages of 11 and 17 who are smoking weed are prone to blackouts and paranoia. This was in addition to mood swings, poor motivation and vomiting which was reported by the BBC on 22 October 2006.

Young people using weed heavily or regularly, are at least twice as likely to develop a psychotic mental disorder by young adulthood, compared to those who don’t do weed. Psychosis is a mental health issue which potentially includes conditions like schizophrenia.

Now that was interesting. In altering brain chemistry, weed was physically impairing the brain and causing behavioural symptoms which could become chronic.

FuelMix couldn’t help but grin. Several times in this blog there have been references to the emotionally crippled urban fag, overt paranoia shown by fags in their interaction with people, making them such accomplished liars; and why is it that the ghetto fag seems to be such a chronic underachiever in the real world.

Is FuelMix fag bashing? Some have already accused him of using this blog for no other purpose. All FuelMix is doing is sounding a warning : there is nothing empowering at all in the urban fag lifestyle. "Recreational drugs" are nothing more than avoidance and diversion - a cop out by which the fag can refuse to confront his habits and his lifestyle. Something has to change.

Exodus In The Making ?

For the last 10 years, FuelMix has been observing Fagland in World Class City and telling fags that their days there were numbered. The changing urban landscape and the demographics of Fagland would eventually result in Fagland being watered down to become more mainstream, or worse, fags and Fagland would eventually have to relocate away from the downtown core.

Needless to say, FuelMix received considerable abuse for having the temerity to make such comments and was repeatedly accused of being homophobic.

Last night, the local news on World Class City TV, reported on the apparent “plight” of residents in Fagland: creeping urban re-development, yuppification, and swankier high-rises were resulting in rent increases of 100% or more in the older buildings. Fags and others were squealing in pain.

To those unfamiliar with the demographics of World Class City’s Fagland, it consists of 4 distinct economic groups – none of which have any real purchasing power: fags, foreign language students, the elderly living on pensions and recent Eastern European immigrants, most of whom came in as refugees.

Many of the existing high-rises are 40 years old and owned by absentee landlords. The location may be fabulous, but the buildings aren’t, even though some have been tarted up. The landlords are no fools. They’ve been watching the buoyant real estate market downtown and are imposing massive rent increases or, selling out to developers.

Either way, it’s the fags and the rest of the demographics who will lose. Many fags are sharing with roommates, hold 2 jobs at clerical or retail level, blow their cash on drink and drugs and constantly shift accommodation within Fagland looking for a better deal.

They may finally have to shift out.

Man Sex Without Being Gay ?

There are some men out there who will apparently do anything to differentiate themselves from being labelled “gay” or “fags”. Most of the time it’s the generic “straight but bi-curious” moniker that is intended to make any fag in the vicinity realize that the dude in question, couldn’t possibly be a fag, since he’s just experimenting.

Yeah, right.

Then there are those who engage in label-separation to such a degree, that it just seems odd. Case in point: those that describe themselves as “g0ys”. Their defining characteristic? Absolutely no anal sex. It’s just laughable..you’re not gay because you don’t have anal sex? What would you call men who fuck women in the ass? Not straight?

Then there’s the Man2Man Alliance who describe themselves as “a coalition of gay, bi and straight-identified men who practise frot phallus-to-phallus sex who reject anal penetration, promiscuity and effeminacy among men who have sex with men……..”

OK..FuelMix rejects promiscuity too, especially when there’s supposed to be a committed relationship. But think about that mission statement: if you’re practising frot cock-to-cock sex with other men, what the hell gives you the right to say you’re not promiscuous?

And the rejection of effeminacy? OK, granted, there are fags out there that are just way too fem. But where do you draw the line? FuelMix suspects that this purported rejection of “effeminacy” is in fact an attempt to erase gay labels such as “Top” and “Bottom”.

Perhaps both groups should be praised for having the guts to put out some kind of manifesto. But god, they're so fuckin’ hilarious.

What's Killing Who

It’s been known for sometime that becoming HIV does not necessarily mean death by AIDS. The cocktail of drugs which suppress the virus, allow many to manage their health and live near normal lives.

A recent study published in Annals Of Internal Medicine focused on New Yorkers with HIV. It found:
20% died of cancer unrelated to the virus
24% died of cardiovascular disease
31% died of substance abuse

Now, FuelMix will admit he has not read the full report, but would certainly be curious to know what percentage of the 31% who were HIV and who died of substance abuse, were fags.

Elsewhere in this blog, FuelMix has written about the drug-fucked, chem friendly fag culture and can’t help but wonder whether, notwithstanding having manageable HIV, a fag has some sort of death wish.

What also interesting is what else was published in the same journal: 10% of the surveyed men in New York who claimed to be heterosexual, had sex with 1 or more men in the past year. Further, 70% of the men who had sex with other men were married. Many admitted they had neither used a condom, nor been tested for HIV.

In this blog, FuelMix has also given his view on the "down-low" culture. The stats confirm FuelMix's view that self-declared sexual orientation is a crock and that physicians need to aggressively question patients on specific sexual activities.

It's hard enough being a healthy fag tiptoeing through the tulip-strewn minefield of urban fags, many of whom are secret viral time bombs, without having fucked up married str8 dudes doing gay for play while the wife is cooking a casserole.

Ditch the wedding band, breeder. You're a fag.

Diversity And The Urban Exile

FuelMix was recently chatting to a fag who commented on the all the different people that had thronged into town for the recently completed Pride.

Fag was pleased at the diversity but said that all those people made him feel even more alone. FuelMix, always happy to jump on a paradox, asked why.

Fag replied that perhaps he had grown up in a different era, or perhaps he had different expectations. He had moved back to town after an absence of a few years and noticed 3 things about the people he used to mix with. Firstly, they had either stayed where they were in life. Secondly, their standard of living had dropped as a result of addictions, lousy money management or ill health; Thirdly, they were dead.

Fag admitted his expectations were to make the enduring friendships he had known and missed. He was not close to his biological family, and, as he was getting older, was looking for a “family”. He felt he had outgrown his friends here, sharing neither their values nor their lifestyle.

FuelMix asked if fag was scared of dying alone and unloved. Fag admitted that might be it and added that as much as he craved caring and affection, he was becoming socially withdrawn. He was feeling caught in his own trap – not helped by the fact that during Pride, there appeared to be so many choices, but so little to choose from.

FuelMix suggested that fag was being too analytical in the wrong context. First and foremost, Pride was a jubilant celebration of fagdom. Some love it, some hate it. As one massive party, approaching Pride with a critical eye, looking for nurturing love and friendship, might not be the best tactic. FuelMix suggested that fag use Pride as one big cocktail party where mingling was easy and casual sex even easier.

(FuelMix slyly suggested that casual sex in moderation, lifts depression and encourages clearer thinking).

FuelMix also said that fag should draw a disctinction between being alone and lonely. The former was a choice. The latter was a state of mind.

Fag retorted that FuelMix was too full of himself and went off to piss.

Revelation Unravel

Scanning the message boards of a fag site, FuelMix noticed a marked increase in the level of personal venom, rambling irrelevancies and hijacking of threads – particularly from postings emanating from World Class City. FuelMix did a quick tour of other international cities on the same site and was impressed to see that such rubbish was virtually non-existent.

Even the boards for the suburbs of said World Class City were venom free. It was like a breath of fresh air. Fags posted looking for a hookup or requesting information. They got a response or a helpful hint. Clean. Simple. No Mess. No Fuss.

FuelMix assumes that was the whole point of a Message Board.

So why the poison on World Class City’s boards? FuelMix suspects it's a combination of an utter lack of discipline, a desperate need for validation, emotional pain, disillusionment at the low online hookup rate and a general dissatisfaction with the website. The effect is to construct a context within which the world is viewed with vicious reaction.

Think about that: "viewed with vicious reaction". The postings on the message board of World Class City are not responses. They are reactions. Primal, basic reactions stemming from an internal framework devoid of emotional intelligence.

And then they wonder why they can’t hook up. If a fag goes psychotic in cyber, it’s probably the most authentic revelation of their profile. To hell with their body type or dick size.

Sneaky, Sneaky

An article in the Journal Of Virology, reported on the BBC website on 29 July 2006, refers to experiments carried out at UCLA showing that HIV survives anti-retroviral treatment by hiding in the gut lining.

Even when blood tests indicate that the treatment is working, HIV continues to replicate in the gut suppressing immune function. In effect, the gut is acting as a viral reservoir that keeps patients from being rid of the virus. The authors of the study recommend earlier aggressive drug treatment and gut biopsies as a way of monitoring gut inflammation.

Fair enough. FuelMix is no expert on HIV, but wonders whether earlier aggressive drug treatment might lead to earlier drug resistance or higher toxicity levels. Nevertheless, the research appears to be important in highlighting the evasive characteristics of HIV.

….which also got FuelMix thinking. Didn’t conventional wisdom say it was generally safe to swallow cum (provided there was no gum bleeding) because HIV would be killed by stomach acids? Now we’re being told that HIV hides in the gut? FuelMix is a little confused.

Is the method of infection, ingestion or penetration relevant in determining HIV’s ability to survive?

Universal Testing

According to an ABC News report on 12 July 2006, the Centre for Disease Control in God’s Own Country will shortly release guidelines for the testing of all people over the age of 13 for HIV. In fact, the capital of God’s Own Country has the highest rate of new AIDS cases and all health care providers, whether private, public or community, routinely screen patients for HIV.

The CDC estimates that at least 25% of those with HIV in God’s Own Country are unaware of their status.

In principle, FuelMix welcomes the idea of universal testing. It is important to stress that the new CDC guidelines will make it clear that such testing is to take place with the patient’s full knowledge and consent. There will also be protocols on how the results are to be communicated.

As FuelMix sees it, there are several advantages to universal testing:

*personal intelligent knowledge
*updateable
*early detection when the immune system is still relatively healthy means a better chance of remission, or control and therefore a better lifestyle
*more accurate budgeting for public health
*more accurate budgeting for the individual in his prescription costs
*better birth control to prevent inter-uterine transmission to the foetus
*implementation of cohesive overall policy without stigmatizing certain groups
*a new culture of individual responsibility

And the disadvantages of universal testing?

*unscrupulous use of test results by insurance companies
*employers insisting on test results for personnel files
*workplace discrimination of HIV / AIDS individuals and subtle ways of forcing them out
*blackmailing and leaking of results to the media

It wasn’t that long ago that people were universally screened for other infectious diseases. With adequate safeguards, why should HIV be any different? But it does beg the obvious question: why has it taken this long?

The Kindest Cut Of All?

According to a Reuters news report yesterday, researchers at the World Health Organization reported that circumcising men routinely across Africa, could prevent millions of deaths from AIDS.

The data showed that men who had been circumcised, had a significantly lower rate of infection from the AIDS virus. The report projected that if all African men were circumcised over the next 10 years, new infections would be reduced by 2 million and deaths reduced by 300,000.

It is thought that the cells and the warm wet environment in the foreskin, foster the susceptibility to HIV infection.

The quoted figures for African infection and death rates are staggering. The main method of infection is heterosexual. The report drew a comparison between West Africa, where circumcision is common and HIV infections low, and Southern Africa where the reverse is true.

In the Western world, circumcision is portrayed as a traumatic disfigurement of a male baby, with some parents flatly refusing to consider it. FuelMix is not suggesting that mere circumcision is sufficient to protect against HIV infection, but wonders whether parents should be re-thinking their attitudes.

By way of observation, FuelMix’s next door neighbours, a pair of middle aged white breeders with 2 barely legal aged boys, recently approached FuelMix, flushed with embarrassment: they wanted to know whether FuelMix was cut. When asked why, they confided that their 2 boys both of whom were uncut, were developing recurring foreskin infections requiring antibiotics.

FuelMix announced he was cut and suggested the breeders sit down with their boys and explain personal hygene. There was a good chance that they would become, or already were, sexually active. Failing that, get a doctor to tell them.

The breeders enquired whether it was too late to get them circumcised. FuelMix suggested they speak to their doctor and have a frank discussion with the 2 legal aged "men" about their future and their options.

Footnote: the boys are too ugly to be gay and declined to go under the knife.

Fibonnacci Revisited

Ever noticed how some fags are notoriously bad in their punctuality? Tell them to show up at 7:30pm on a Tuesday night, you’ll be lucky if they show up on a Tuesday in the same month. They’ll always have some excuse.

If fags seem to be bad with figures on a clock, they sure seem to be good with figures on a cock. Ever noticed the number of online ads where the fag sings his stats, or claims to be “hwp” but demands precise figures of “7.5” or “8” or “8.5”?

What makes these fags think that cock sizes increase in half inch increments? FuelMix has yet to see an ad for "7.21" or "8.3" or "8.15". Is there some secret sequence of erectile gain that FuelMix has missed?

You’d think the fag was negotiating the interest on his deposit account. Wait – on second thought, that’s exactly what he’s doing.

Not to sound tart, but while interest rates might rise, FuelMix cautions fags about getting their hopes “up”.
