What is gay sex?

Gay sex encompasses a diverse range of sexual activities between men. These can include:

• Anal sex: This involves penetration of the anus with a penis, fingers, or sex toy. It's crucial to use plenty of lubricant and communicate about comfort levels to avoid injury.

• Oral sex: This involves oral stimulation of the penis (fellatio) or anus (anilingus).

• Mutual masturbation: This involves two or more people masturbating each other.

• Kissing and cuddling: These are intimate acts that can be part of sex, but they are not sex themselves.

• Use of sex toys: Sex toys can be used in a variety of ways to enhance pleasure.

Safe sex practices are extremely important for gay men due to the higher risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like HIV and other infections. These practices include:

• Using condoms during anal sex.
• Using dental dams during oral sex.
• Getting tested for STIs regularly.
• Talking to your partner(s) about their STI status.
• Considering PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) to prevent HIV infection.

Communication and consent are essential aspects of healthy gay sex. It's crucial to discuss boundaries, desires, and comfort levels with your partner(s) before and during sexual activity. Every person should be able to freely say "no" or "stop" at any time.
