    Yeah, it's all hilarious until you find out your boyfriend has a profile on one of these things.

    Seriously, is there any gay out there who doesn't know of a relationship ruined by these sites? Back in the day people had to work a little harder to cheat on one another.

    Celebs I accidentally cruised:

    David Bromstad (of HGTV)

    Edmund White

    Now _there's_ a celebrity couple I could rally around.


    Both were actually quite nice (although I got pics of Bromstad)

    What ho, new gay! Are you meant to replace dear Richard? I do not envy you this task, but wish you luck if it is so.

    This is a pretty great run-down, though. You did forget gay.com, the most tedious place on earth.

    @eleusiswalks: Really? My inbox is clogged with OKC messages from semi-eligible young bachelors. I think the trick is that you have to fill out a few quizzes and stuff for the automated system to be able to match you. Who knew that 30 of my up-down opinions on inane questions like "Do you support the constitutional right to burn the flag" is all I needed to find the love of my life.

    Or a person can look at himself in the mirror, realize what he sees, and act in a way that befits a human being.

    Sex can be more than online shopping for a fix. Give yourself better reasons to get that close to another person; give another person better reasons to get that close to you.

So I have to thank you for the light tap of your épée, when you could have easily skewered me. (Me, evidently: 32 6' 175lb br/br white ISO light taps and/or skewering.)

    You failed to mention that Adam4Adam is for black and Latino guys and their admirers, primarily. Er, or so I read.

    Also, be careful, because every poz guy I know uses Adam4Adam and Manhunt for non-status-disclosed hookups. If guys on there don't disclose their HIV status (and even if they say it's negative), you should assume it's positive. Just be aware of that, and play safe.

    We recently ran a story about the spike in HIV transmission rates in guys under 27 who hook up with other guys in NYC, and the rates are shockingly high. It's almost the 70s all over again here. Among young Af-Am guys in New York, some experts claim it to be around 40%. I think misusing these kinds of sites has a lot to do with that.

    But anyhow, welcome, new Gawker Gay. Color me intrigued.

    True story: Adam4Adam sent a, uh, friend of mine an email demanding he send in a scanned picture from his drivers license because he looked so young.

    When I got the email I through my head back, laughed, and typed in, "oh you do go on, Adam4Adam Admin."

    As a straight man, I've long pitied the seemingly monastic lifestyle of gay men desperate to have sex, but completely without options. I thought the internet might finally solve their problems. I guess I was wrong. March on, you blue-balled soldiers.
