"Undesirable gay men may have riskier sex"

[GL]

i'm agreeing with you.

The meaning of this idiom is 'that's the problem'.

Oh! Lol I just didn't know what that meant.

Thanks.

I question the validity of the assumptions, being made in this rather superficial research.

You raise an interesting point. Validity is key in quantitative research, but in this case the researcher decided for a qualitative approach instead. Some limitations are probably related to the research design.

The author seems to be more interested on the "subjective" perception of desirability and the apparent consequences of being labeled as "low sexual status."

On the surface at least, it would seem that being prissy, siddity, and selective protects you from a lot of things. And "pretty" people can afford to be that way. But some of these "pretty" people are hot in the ass freaks indisguise! So, who knows what goes on behind closed doors?

it's been ages since i studied psychology research techniques, so i can't learnedly question/comment on the way the study was conducted. I can easily imagine that "research" could bear out the contradictory claims raised in this thread. I consider myself sort of funny-looking, with the big a few big dis-tractions, but i'm also highly sensitive about my rather ethereal sort of surreal beauty. My disarming personality disturbs many people. And I'm not getting laid... I feel so much better about myself, though, as a person, since I learned to just not worry about it and gleefully jerk off like a wild man. I DO think that MY higher sense of self-esteem keeps me out of risky sexual behaviour - but other sorts of behaviour (smoking) could be related to certain *ahem* unfulfilled desires.

I'd like to see some more information about this...

I don't consider myself to be amongst the most 'desirable' people out there; but I know I'm not exactly the worst either...

But, and I'm speaking for myself here, I've yet to forgo using a condom with someone I think is really attractive. I've turned down sex in those cases, actually. I mean we still fooled around, but, you know.
