Watersports, Pornography and Phone sex

Watersports, also known as golden showers involves pissing on one another or drinking someone else's piss. It also has the added advantage that you can usually piss more often than you can cum. Piss on unbroken skin does not pose a risk but pissing into the eyes, in the mouth or up the arse can pose risks of hepatitis and gonorrhoea if they are present. Drinking large quantities of beer or water will make piss more plentiful and will reduce the aroma. Piss can carry a strong smell and becomes ammonia-like if it's left to stand. High protein diets make it more acid, vegetables increase alkalinity, and eating asapargus makes piss particularly acrid and unpleasant. If you don't clean a designated area regularly and properly it will start to smell really unpleasant as it reacts with common household bacteria in carpets or porous floor coverings.

Points to remember

You may wish to cover the bed or designated area with a rubber or water proof sheet.

It is worth giving some thought where you do it and where you might be later (in a car or on a bus for example).

Before you start, cover open cuts and sores with a waterproof plaster.

Keeping your eyes closed and not taking it in the eyes or up the arse will significantly reduce risks from sexually transmitted infections.


Pornography

Porn gives us a safe, fun opportunity to get turned on and explore our sexual fantasies. There are many forms of porn: magazines, videos and written stories and, more recently, the internet and websites, including Euroboy Online. It has been video porn, particularly, which has introduced us to live-action sex from which we can learn and improve our own techniques. However, we should make allowances for grim story lines, a disproportionately large number of over-sized dicks and seamless action which is a far cry from the reality of what we actually do. Today, video cameras allow us to create our own porn videos and can transmit live action across the internet. If you own porn or are thinking about starting a collection, remember:

Magazines are for men over 18 years old.

It may be appropriate to put any away porn when family visits which can mean pictures, videos, magazines, photographs and books which are easy to forget.

If you have a camera connected to your computer (and left on) it can be activated without you knowing.

Taking porn through customs is not advisable. If you're caught, it's usually confiscated.

Be careful what you acquire - particularly off the internet. Some imagery, eg extreme SM scenes and child pornography can lead to prosecution and jail sentences.

Think carefully whether you want to be included in a porn video whether it's for cash or through a sexual encounter. If you're in doubt, don't do it - or discuss it first with a friend (who will most likely disapprove).

Telephone sex

Telephone sex usually means wanking off while talking or listening to someone on the phone. For a time at least it became very popular as the ultimate safe sex but today, while it still has a niche, needs and technology have moved on. The numbers in the gay papers will usually put you through to a chat line or recorded story. While they offer uninterrupted wank potential their cost can be prohibitive and will be recorded on your telephone bill.
