I thought Magic Johnson contracted HIV from sleeping with 8,000 women (more or less).

or maybe it is... which of course leads us to that old issue of those who seem to be the most homophobic tend to be hiding something themselves.

deep said:but,
do we assume most Klansman might be secretly black?
deep said:
actually less
most likely sleeping with one person
but that does not fit your mold of sex outside of marriage = SIN

I was going to post this!! But I didn't want to silly up the thread too much, good for you!

We talked about this in my Sociology class last week. I don't believe he contracted it from all those women.
HIV is basically spread from bodily fluids, and during sex, women receive fluids from the man. So, in class we discussed how a large number of women are becoming HIV positive lately, and how the equation basically amounts to them contracting it from men who have had sex (i.e, received semen) with other men.

No I don't think so. All it takes is one person who is HIV+, and not necessarily because of how many partners one has had.

I do think that sex outside of marriage is sin, but I don't see why you brought that up.
All I was doing was clarifying the Magic Johnson thing, so SO-RRY.

Your post led me to believe there was a judgement in your remarks.
perhaps even consequences for his behavior
I just don't buy that
deep said:I respect your right to believe in sin and make judgement's for yourself and people who voluntarily choose to be part of your group.
As I would for anyone who chooses to be a part any other religious group.
No need to be sorry
I like you
and appreciate you for sharing your views.

Actually, I was making a point. I later worded it more succinctly:
When a person has sex with a ridiculous number of people, it will of course increase his chances of sleeping with someone who has HIV.
My point wasn't that sex outside of marraige is a sin; my point was that irresponsible behavior increases a person's chances.

I've always thought this was the case with Magic Johnson.
In any case, sad that this is even an issue in this century.

Wait, what? Your class taught you that men can only get HIV from men? Am I understanding that right?
Men who have unprotected sex can receive fluids from women as well, imagine the movement creating a sort of vacuum through the urethra. Now the amount of fluid received is much smaller, but it's still very possible for a man to contract HIV from a woman.
LarryMullen's_POPAngel said:
No, that's not the case at all. I should have been clearer.
We were talking about how the chances of men contracting it from women was a very small amount compared to the chances of them having contracting from other men.
I know it can be contracted either way. Believe me, if anyone thinks otherwise they need to go back to Sex Ed 101.

The host asked Hardaway how he would interact with a gay teammate.
"First of all, I wouldn't want him on my team. And second of all, if he was on my team, I would, you know, really distance myself from him because, uh, I don't think that is right. I don't think he should be in the locker room while we are in the locker room."
If he did find out that a teammate was gay, Hardaway said he would ask for the player to be removed from the team.
"Something has to give," Hardaway said. "If you have 12 other ballplayers in your locker room that's upset and can't concentrate and always worried about him in the locker room or on the court or whatever, it's going to be hard for your teammates to win and accept him as a teammate."
Hardaway later apologized for the remarks during a telephone interview with Fox affiliate WSVN in Miami.
"Yes, I regret it. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said I hate gay people or anything like that," he said. "That was my mistake."

I didn't know it worked that way. Of course, I didn't actually mean that I thought he got it from all of them. I was just saying that I thought he contracted HIV because of the many partners he had. But what I just learned from you never would have occurred to me. That's very interesting.
But someone says it's Wilt Chamberlain I was thinking of anyway, so who knows...

If this woman went out dressed like that
had a few drinks and when the bar closed
she walked three blocks to her car
and got raped
there would people that would say
"When a woman dresses like that, at that time on night, it will of course increase her chances of getting attacked."

A person with HIV only contracts HIV once
I think at least part of the reason is what anitram already pointed out,Irvine511 said:i suppose the bigger question is why women can be successful athletes and be out, but men can't.
Obviously there are women who believe lesbianism is wrong in an "abstract" moral sense, but for the most part, even women who feel that way wouldn't react to the presence of an out lesbian in their social sphere with that trigger emotional "Ewww gross, what if she hits on me and makes me feel lesbian, omg I don't want her seeing me naked at the gym" etc. Being socialized into "masculinity" on the one hand and "femininity" on the other are just very different in that way.anitram said:I think there should be a re-evaluation of why it is that straight men in general react in such ridiculous ways when dealing with homosexual men. Women are not like that at all - I've never heard a woman saying similar things about lesbian classmates, teammates, colleagues, etc.

I could care less if another dude checks out my ass...of course I'm not all that cute so I'd probably be thankful anybody scoped my booty. People need to get over it already.
