South Africa’s barebackers

I am a gay man from South Africa. There are a few establishments here that promote unsafe sex, and these places are growing and making a lot of money that is not going to any good causes. I don’t believe that people would deliberately go out to these f__k clubs to infect as may people as they can. But at the same time, the guys that go there do know the risk and still engage in unsafe sex.

This is a great concern of mine and it seems to only be my concern. There are government officials that go to these places and that’s the reason I think that these places have not yet been closed down.

One of these is a nude bar with dark rooms and slings and glory holes and dark alleyways with bareback videos blaring in the background. At one time in an evening, you can expect about two hundred men all crammed into this place, having raw sex and ejaculating inside the individuals they penetrate.

I am not innocent as I have been there, but I have the guts to speak out and ask for help. These type of establishments should not be allowed and there should be more sex ed for all the different stages of one’s life.

Kind regards
Stanton Burls
