Trying to change from a selfish lifestyle, to a selfless way of life. What About Sex?
I am a straight male who has not tried and has no desire to shoot up or be curious sexually. I was a 40-year-old bachelor when I found out at a blood drive that was Poz. I yelled out and cried, devastated that I would never be who I use to be. How do I talk about it? I still do not to this day because of the labels and fear. I am undetectable, but this is the first time I have been public about me. I have been ashamed, and I am not the "turn the other cheek" kind of guy. If you start some s***, you better be ready to go the distance. I am a veteran, athlete, musician, husband, and entrepreneur that has not overcome a voracious appetite for xxx sex. What the hell do I do? I do not want boring sex but I must adhere to laws and ethics. Anyone else dealing with these issues? Thanks!!
