Greg Feels Trapped
Paolo: I think I understand, but can you explain what you mean?
Greg: I can’t stay hard if I’m concentrating on proving something. I get nervous.
Paolo: I see now.
Greg: I get nervous and then I can’t stay hard. And I worry that a condom will make it worse, so I don’t use one.
Paolo: That’s why you didn’t use a condom with Joe.
Greg: Yeah.
Paolo: Earlier, you said you weren’t sure why there are times you don’t use condoms. Then you voiced a really compelling reason: You think guys see you as only a bottom. You don’t want to be labeled, so you end up topping without a condom to prove that you’re not just a bottom.
Greg: I hate that the most, feeling like I have to prove a point. It feels so stupid.
Paolo: This is really bothering you.
