Paolo Asks Greg About Realistic Options
Paolo: OK. It’s helpful to get a picture of everything that’s happening.
I know you’re interested in talking with a therapist. In the meantime, though, if you find yourself in a situation similar to the one that happened last month, what do you think you might do?
Greg: I guess I could try to use a condom.
Paolo: You mentioned that you use them when you bottom.
Greg: I didn’t tell you everything before. If I don’t use a condom as a top, guys just assume I’m into raw sex as a bottom, too. So, sometimes it goes both ways. I know, I know. I should just use condoms—or not have sex at all.
Paolo: Sometimes you don’t feel you can use a condom and, at the same time, you want to protect your health.
