(TW: Sex - educational context) 

My dear lgbt+ kids, 

This was a requested topic: let’s talk about HIV risk and oral sex. 

First things first: It’s not considered completely risk-free, but the risk of getting HIV from receiving or giving oral sex is considered low. 

Now, in some more detail: 

Giving oral sex may be a bit riskier than receiving. This is because of the potential contact with your partners bodily fluids (vaginal fluids, menstrual blood or semen), and also because you may have small cuts or sores in your mouth without even being aware of them) but both giving and receiving oral sex is still lower risk than vaginal or anal sex. 

Mouth-to-penis sex is thought to be riskier than mouth-to-vagina sex. 

Mouth-to-anus sex is also considered low-risk. 

Something that is important to consider is that many people have oral sex AND vaginal/anal sex in the same session, which may make it harder in retrospect to say during which sexual activity exactly an infection occurred. 

While oral sex is a lower risk in general, your personal risk may be higher. For example if: 

you have sores or small cuts on/in your mouth or genitals 

you have bleeding gums

there’s menstrual blood present 

you have another STD 

As with any sexual activity, it goes here too: You can reduce the risk by practicing safer sex! For oral sex that means using a condom (penis) or dental dam (vagina or anus). You can also cut a condom length-wise and use it as a dental dam. Use a new one every time you have sex (and also if you switch from oral to vaginal or anal sex, or the other way around, during the same session).

A condom or dental dam will also lower the risk of other STDs (such as chlamydia or herpes) and infections (such as hepatitis, which you can get from mouth-to-anus sex). 

If you both have a negative HIV test, and you both do not have other STDs and neither of you has sex with other people, it’s generally considered safe to not use condoms or dental dams. But if you are not 100% sure, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and use one. 

The same goes for testing: if you recently had oral sex and you worry you were potentially exposed to HIV during it, you probably don’t need to freak out since it’s a lower risk - but for your own peace of mind, it’s still a good idea to talk to a doctor about getting tested. (If you don’t feel comfortable going to your regular doctor or you worry about costs, there may be testing sites near you that offer free and confidential tests. For example in community health centers, pharmacies or mobile clinics. Look it up online! You may also be able to buy a self-testing kit online.) Keep in mind that HIV isn’t an automatic death sentence anymore if it gets diagnosed and treated early on! 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Dad

Chaos Prime: Fucking Around

The chaos trio meets @gallifreyianrosearkytiorsusan's Emperor's Child and Slaaneshi disaster marine, Zaarius

CW: Smut, blood, mechadendrites and various other appendages... look it's chaos space marine porn, you have been warned.

Tags: @gallifreyianrosearkytiorsusan @egrets-not-regrets @sleepyfan-blog @kit-williams

“I did say I’d introduce you to some of the other regulars at the base here,” Hura explained to the three primaris newcomers following him around the chaos base.  “This is Zaarius, who despite his occasional dramatics is a very good chemist.”

“Well hello there handsome.”  Zaarius smirked at the younger marine, giving his usual somewhat flirtatious greeting.  Sure the last young primaris he’d used that on had nearly strangled him, but this one didn’t look quite as jumpy.  Then again it was hard to get jumpier than a young Black Templar.

The former ultramarine looked Zaarius up and down for a long moment.  “You look like you’d snap in half if you followed up on that thought.”  Zaarius grinned back at him “I assure you I’m stronger than I look, young one.”  Hura managed to glare at both of them.

“So you’re the one who makes those little candies.  Hoping to put that theory to the test?”

“I make delicious goods that others Desire and Crave. Care to have a bite?”  New customers were always good, even if he wasn’t supposed to be promoting addictions or whatever.

“Sure, but I think Hura might actually vomit if I gave you one here.” Oh.  

“If you are going to continue please do so somewhere in private.”  By this point Zaarius had learned that particular smooth tone meant Hura was getting slightly irritated.  Felix meanwhile had a very shark-like grin going.  “Oh, but I need to call my brothers in first!”

“Wait-wait-wait, how many brothers are we talking here?”

“There's two more to our little band here. You sure you don't break, my dear little firstborn?”

“Three?  Ok, just be gentle.”  The cheeky smile was back.

Hura put his hand to his face before looking at Zaarius.  “If they kill you, I want your organs for research purposes.”  He turned back to Felix “I do actually need this idiot alive and intact and able to do his chemist duties.  He does have use and value to me, despite his..tendencies.  That means all limbs and brain matter intact.  Also read these before you do anything too stupid.”  He handed Felix a couple of pamphlets.  The top one was entitled Safe Pleasure and Gifts from the Gods.  Underneath another bore the title Protecting your Partners from Slaaneshi Poisons and Nurglite STDs.  The last one was Safe, Sane, and Consensual - Boundary Negotiations for Unusual Physiology and Psychology.  “There’s also a stockpile of assorted condoms and other coverings for different appendages in the hall closet.”

Felix slipped the pamphlets into a combat pouch.  “We’ll look over them, I promise.”  Hura simply glared meaningfully at both of the marines.  Felix started to protest and changed course.  “I’ll look them over while I wait for my brothers.”

Hura glared at him one more time.  “Please do.  And please take any further slaaneshi nonsense somewhere private.”

Zaarius grinned up at the pair.  “Want to take it to one of the practice rooms, big boy?”  Hura gave an exasperated sigh and walked off.  A minute later Felix and Zaarius headed down to the practice rooms, his two brothers finding him and falling in behind him.

“You didn’t mention you had a techmarine,” Zaarius commented, seeing Mic’s mechadendrites come into view.

“That a problem?” Mic queried, one camera scanning up and down the firstborn’s body.

“Not at all, darling.  Specialists are so rare these days though, I didn’t know we had a new one in town!  And so well endowed.” Zaarius gestured at the variety of mixed flesh and machine mechadendrites sprouting from the techmarine’s back.

“Usually people ask about Batsy’s wings,” Mic grunted, looking up at his towering bat-winged companion.

“They are very nice wings.  And very large.”  Batsy’s wings twitched at the commentary as they entered the sparring chamber.  All three primaris looked like they were ready for a fight in full armor.  Zaaruis’s smaller size was enhanced by his chemist’s garb of a bright pink scrub top covered with images of small heart shaped candies, and matching purple scrub pants.

“Quick ground rules before we get started.  Hands only and be gentle on restraints, pain is ok but don’t take it too far, got it boys?”

The three nodded assent.  Mic added on “Mind the claws.  Poison.”  Felix added in response “And stay away from Batsy’s fangs, you’ll get sick.”  Zaarius nodded in his turn in response, then blew a kiss at Felix as the other two finished leafing through the provided pamphlets.  “Ready to go yet?”

“Nah, I think I’ll wait a little.” The ultramarine crossed his arms over his chest and gave a small signal to the other two, grinning at the firstborn.  Batsy reached in to grab under Zaarius’s arms, pulling him down and back against the bulk of the large primaris.  “Gotta enjoy the show after all,” Felix finished.

Mic reached a couple of mechadendrites in, deftly slicing through the seat of his pants.  One mechadendrite, thick with oil, began to tease him open as others finished tearing his pants apart and ran bites up and down his thighs.  A delicate little manipulator mechadendrite flicked pieces of fabric away and wrapped around his cock with a small whirr.

“You’re so pretty” Batsy whispered into his ear as he cut a line across Zaarius’s hand and pressed the wound to his mouth.  Small hot pink dams covered his fangs, keeping the poison away, as he licked the blood from the wound.  “You taste so sweet too, it’s like having cake for dinner.”

Zaarius leaned into the armored chest behind him.  The armor felt oddly soft, likely fusing and merging with the skin of the occupant within it, as was common in chaos marines.  Batsy’s gauntlets were off though, and one hand rubbed small circles on Zaarius’s shoulder through his shirt.  “Aww you're sweet.  And very good at shoulder rubs too.  Mmm”.  Felix was, so far, standing off to the side observing, arms folded across his chest.  Zaarius grinned over at him.  “Enjoying the show, big boy?”

Felix just looked at Zaarius, before slowly pulling a bag of chocolates out of one of his combat pouches.  Specifically a bag of Zaarius’s excessive delights.  “Hey, where did you get those?” Zaarius demanded.  Felix didn’t respond, just very slowly pulled his helmet off.  “You know those have slaaneshi poison in them right?  Highly addictive drugs?”  Felix grinned at him before opening the bag and popping one of the chocolates into his mouth.

Zaarius looked back at the ultramarine.  “Suit yours….oh” his statement was interrupted as the other two lifted his hips up and pushed him back onto Batsy’s lap.  The primaris marine had his codpiece off and his cock already pressing into Zaarius’s back.  “Ready, beautiful?”  Zaarius wiggled his hips back in response, still giving a cheeky grin at Felix.  “Of course, handsome,” he murmured back at Batsy behind him.

Batsy’s hands guided Zaarius’s hips slowly down onto his erection, nuzzling at his neck and running his tongue over the pulse points.  Another of Mic’s mechadenrites wrapped around Zaarius’s cock, squeezing it as he rocked back onto the cock pressing inside of him.  “Fuck.” He leaned back as his orgasm left white cum over the mechadendrites.  “That all you boys got?”

“Hmph, mouthy little bitch aren’t ya?” Felix growled at him from the sidelines, smooshing a second chocolate in one of his hands.

“You gonna do something about it, big boy?”  Mic’s mechadendrites pulled back as Batsy’s arms and wings wrapped around Zaarius, holding the firstborn marine to his chest while working his way deeper inside him.

Felix rolled his eyes and pulled the codpiece off his armor in response, wrapping a chocolate covered gauntlet in Zaarius’s hair with one hand and unzipping himself and pressing his half-hard cock into Zaarius’s mouth with the other.  Zaarius licked at it teasingly, arching his eyebrows and murmuring something that was probably rude but not intelligible enough to confirm.

“There, that’s a better use of that whore mouth of yours” Felix’s hand dropped down to rest under Zaarius’s chin, stroking a finger along his windpipe.  “I’m going to make sure by the end of this you can’t do anything but whimper onto someone’s dick.”  Zaarius made a somewhat obscene gesture in response.  Felix pushed himself in deeper in lieu of a reply, closing his eyes as Zaarius continued attending to the cock in his mouth as the bat-winged marine underneath him pressed deeper inside, hands crossing over Zaarius’s chest and lingering around his nipples, holding him still for each thrust inside his ass.  “Mmph, good” Batsy mouthed into Zaarius’s shoulder, pulling Zaarius closer into his chest as he climaxed inside the emperor’s child.  Zaarius’s own wings fluttered lightly at the sensation.

Felix cuffed one of his ears lightly.  “Focus, slut.  We’re not done with you yet.”  The ultramarine was close himself, the poison in the chocolates speeding his reactions.  He pulled away just as he finished his own orgasm, suddenly picking Zaarius up and carrying him over to one of the benches before laying the firstborn across his lap.  “In fact, we’re just getting started.  I’m going to make you beg, you little slaaneshi whore.”

“Aww, you’re such a tease” Zaarius wiggled himself into a more comfortable position, propping his head up in his hands on the bench.  Batsy came over and sat down by his head, a bright colored condom contrasting nicely with the yellow-gold of his armor.  Very carefully he reached out and ran one finger along Zaarius’s wing, drawing out a shiver from him as Felix pressed down on his hips.

  “Mouthy whore at that,” the pinning ultramarine faux-grumbled at his captive.  “Oh, but I’m your whore for tonight, boy,” Zaarius snarked back, reaching a hand out to tease at Felix.

“Hmph, ought to teach you some manners.”  A primaris-sized gauntlet smacked down onto Zaarius’s ass, driving the breath out of him for a moment.  “Should’ve brought a whip.”

“Maybe…next…time…darling”, Zaarius managed to choke out between hits.  Batsy knelt down beside the bench and started running his tongue up the edge of a wing, causing the diaphonous wing to vibrate in excitement.  Felix shifted his approach as well, cold metal gloves tracing lines along Zaarius’s ass and thighs and ever so briefly brushing over his dick.  One gauntleted finger worked its way slowly inside his ass as a large claw protruding from one of Batsy’s wings wrapped around Zaarius’s wrists.  Zaarius kicked a little at the sensations, pulling him back towards the edge without ever quite letting him reach it.  Mic ambled over and wrapped large hands around his ankles to still the motion, mechadendrites flicking up against Zarrius’s bruised thighs.

“Oooo.  Meanie.”  Zaarius whined at the trio.  “True sons of chaos, torturing your prisoners.  I shan’t beg for mercy though.”  He did his best to stick his nose in the air in a dignified manner, given the position.  A thin mechanical tendril flicked up against his cock.  “Mmmph.”  His voice started to be come breathless.  “Still no.”

Felix and Batsy pulled back from him, leaving just the sensation of being pinned down as a toothed mechadendrite nipped into the very top of his thigh.  That was going to leave a mark.  Zaarius whimpered a little at being pulled back from so close to his climax.  “Fine, fine.  Please?”  He made the saddest puppy dog eyes he could manage at the trio as Batsy leaned in and cut a long line across his shoulder, lapping up the oozing blood hungrily.

“Mic, shut him up,” Felix ordered.  The codpiece on Mic’s armor hinged open as he stepped back and pulled out a part-metal dick, somehow already covered in a specially reinforced condom.  “Here!” He pressed himself into Zaarius’s open mouth as Felix straddled the marine on the bench.  “Naughty little slut,” he mocked as he inserted himself into Zaarius’s ass.  Zaarius raised one hand with the middle finger extended in reply.  Such a charming gesture that he’d learned from the baseline humans around here.  He keened as Batsy returned the attention to his wings as well, bringing him up to a shuddering finish under the combined unwavering attention of all three primaris and leaving him moaning as they continued until their energy was expended as well.

As they finished, Batsy scooped Zaarius up in his wings, enclosing the smaller marine entirely in the warm skin.  “Aw, we’ve gotten your clothes all ripped up,” he crooned as he settled down against the wall with Zaarius in his lap.

“It’s fine, love,” Zaarius crooned back as Batsy started to comb out Zaarius’s long silver hair.  “Can someone get some shorts from my quarters?  The sparkly purple ones, I think.”  He leaned back against the wing behind him, tired and slightly woozy from blood loss.  Somewhere off to the side, Mic pressed a glass of orange juice into his hand.  “Drink,” the techmarine commanded as he picked clothing scraps and discarded protection up from around the area.

“Thank you dear,” Zaarius said as he slowly drank the juice down, endeavoring to keep his head still as Batsy began to braid his hair and tie it in place with ribbons.  “You’re quite creative, Batsy,” he said between sips.  “Aww, thanks,” the lamenter sounded almost shy in his response.

Felix returned with the requested pair of hot pants and a primaris-sized t-shirt, which draped over Zaarius’s body, leaving a trail of bite marks and bruises running up his legs and a healing cut and several more visible through the wide neck.  “Well then darlings, are you going to buy me dinner after all that?”  After a second of thought, Felix burst out laughing as Batsy scooped Zaarius up in his arms and carried him up the stairs.

Somewhere in the medical wing, Apothecary Hura felt an unexplained headache coming on.

any words of advice for an 18-yr-old lesbian entering her ho era?

many words of advice actually

regular std testing, some people forget that lesbians get stds too and regular testing keeps everyone safe.

make a little sex kit to keep in your bag when you go out. i saw someone make a post about keeping packets of or travel size water based lube, latex free condoms, nail clippers, collapsible mini scissors, and travel size body/hygiene wipes in theirs and i think that’s a good base. lube because sometimes you need it, latex free condoms because latex allergies can be deadly and condoms can be used in various ways including being turned into dental dams, nail clippers are obvious, little scissors for turning the condoms into dental dams, and hygiene wipes in case you find yourself in a situation having impromptu sex and you feel like maybe you need a little freshening up beforehand.

you will meet some people who are very weird about safe sex, people who don’t get tested regularly and/or refuse to use dental dams. when you meet these people, leave. do not have sex with anyone who thinks risking stds is okay.

you also might get an std even with all of the preparation in the world, and that’s nothing to feel shame about but you do need to tell your past sexual partners about it. if you don’t think you’d be comfortable telling someone you potentially got or gave chlamydia then you are not ready to have casual sex with multiple partners.

a lot of people treat sex very casually, like it’s a fun carefree thing with no emotional attachment - that is not the experience for a lot of people. even when having casual sex with multiple partners, it can be very emotional and there’s nothing wrong with that or feeling attached to any one individual. so just know going into it that if it doesn’t end up being the hoe phase you dreamed of, that’s perfectly okay.

that’s all that comes to mind after just waking up, be safe and healthy and take care of yourself!

More Ford Headcanons

Yeah I'm making a part two right now. Why not? These will be more adult-oriented.

Ford is not at all fond of high-pitched noises. Some he tolerates, especially if he has control over them. But most of the time, he'll react by covering his ears and grimacing.

There isn't a recreational drug out there that he has tried at least once. But his most favorites are alcohol, cannabis, hallucinogenics, and amphetamines. Oh wait, caffeine is considered a drug now? In the mainstream sense and not the medicine sense? Okay, well, that's also his favorite too.

He's only done caffeine the most since he came back into Gravity Falls through the portal. But ofc, with the help of Stan and Fiddleford, he's able to drink and ingest weed as much as he'd like! And yet. There is a limit on caffeine? The nerve!

He's only allowed the limits ever since Dipper and Mabel kindly asked him to follow the rules on his intake levels. Mabel used her darling eyes on him. Dipper used his darling eyes AND plenty of research to back up his claim. Curse his love for his grand-niblings.

Ford is, in a sense, trans-human. He's had many more modifications done to him beyond just the metal plate in his head. He heals faster, runs faster, jumps higher, and has more keen senses! Of course, a vigorous exercise routine helps too.

While Ford identifies as part of the asexual and aromantic spectrum, he's not immune to such feelings either, especially the asexual part. But he's unsure if it's the person's characteristics that are sexually appealing or if the sex alone is and they just happened to be good-looking. But romance is another story.

He has felt romantic feelings towards Bill and Jheselbraum. Fiddleford too, in retrospect. But if you ask him, a queer-platonic relationship sounds much more appealing and emotionally deeper. He has yet to deduce why.

He is polyamourous too! Somewhat. Well, it takes a lot of trust and he'd prefer to deeply know the other persons involved as well. But he isn't opposed to his partner sleeping with another being, so long as Ford is aware of their location, the exits, their current defenses, the stranger's weaknesses, their immunities and defenses and and and. Okay, he's not opposed to it due to jealousy and lack of trust. He's opposed to it because he cannot risk anything bad happen to his beloveds.

That being said... STD transmission is a thing. He might also be opposed to it due to health and hygiene purposes. Unless. He could craft a rapid-testing kit that his beloveds could take with them wherever they go if they feel the urge to sleep with another being.

If his partner(s) have a habit of sleeping with other folks though... it could cause some insecurities. Communication is an absolute must at this point. But depending on the relationship and other variables, you might not hear about said insecurities. So much for communication... (Stan is probably yelling at him for it)

Sometimes, he'll avoid communication to avoid arguments. Expect a lot of serious talks during the earlier parts of your relationship, especially if Ford feels it becoming more intimate and serious. He wants to avoid conflict as much as possible.

He loves absurd memes. The internet, while it did take a while to learn due to its rapid growth, is oddly fun and a host of many research articles! Thanks to Fiddleford, he's learned to bypass many security walls and such, so he's able to access all sorts of articles without having to subscribe or pay for them!

But also. Memes. He loves them. What, you don't think an old man from the 60s and 70s who has done many different drugs and has studied anomalies and has been to a shitty college and has traveled the multiverse would be weirded out by internet humor? My dear, he thrives in it! Hell, he's learned quickly how to make them and posts them regularly. He's pretty amused by how his followers believe that some of them are just absurd jokes and not events he's actually experienced. One day, he'll reveal the truth. But he has to figure out how.

Speaking of, he and Fiddleford has been working with the people of Gravity Falls on how to prevent another apocalypse and, with the consent of the anomalies, how to research the unique flora and fauna and strange happenings in this part of Oregon.

He, Stan, and Fiddleford now all live together in Fidds new estate! The extra rooms have been turned either into guest rooms, entertainment rooms, or academic archives. AND THERE IS STILL MORE ROOM?? Fiddleford, you've truly succeeded! Ford is not only extremely happy with his friend's fortune, but he's also grateful that he gets to share it with him.

Of course, Ford loves his alone time. All the more reason why he appreciates living in a mansion with his beloveds instead of a cramped cabin (seriously, that thing is massive! And yet, it's still too small for such a large and outgoing family). It is a bit too big, though. Hell, it's not a mansion. It's a palace! He's discussed with Fidds about it, leading to a map in every room and hall (with a little "You are here" dot in each one) and a PA system next to it. With some extra work, magic, and rummaging through the alien ship, there is now quick travel throughout the estate as well! Just... hold on to the railing while you're at it. And your stomach.

[f0point5]

The book I'm reading is called "Cross the line" by Simone Soltani. It's an easy read, certainly fun for passing the time, and I really like the characters!

(Mild spoiler) the media scandal he had happened bc he got fed up with his old social media manager, cancelled her flight and left her stranded in australia, and in retaliation she posted on ALL his platforms that he'll be the new face for an at-home STD test kit bc he has chlamydia, a strain that's resistant to antibiotics ://// honestly that shit's hysterical

Not a clue which psycho racist you're talking about but i am also dying to know the name

That idea is awesome and I love it!! It sounds like you have a lot of room for in-depth politics and economics and shit, and I'd be all over that😅 and the romance plot sounds cute af

That’s hilarious but he deserves that sorry you can’t leave people stranded like that.

I looked him up it’s Santino Ferucci

I love me some fantasy politics lol and I am a PRO at writing flawed main characters whose decisions everyone will absolutely hate so it would slap tbh but the thing about writing fantasy is I always undercook the fantastical elements and it gets so messy trying to come up with a unique enough supernatural system. (also the romance wasn’t going to be what you think it is 👀👀👀)

[csaventing]

it's been almost two years and i still haven't gotten tested for STDs and its kinda making me nervous.

i still don't remember it well and i didn't know it even happened until months after. I'm still under 18 and completely financially dependent on my parents (i haven't told them) and i'm kinda. at a loss for what to do? i can't do doctors to begin with (trauma) so i doubt i'd be able to even do in-clinic testing? so it's just at-home testing kits.

I'm so scared because i did have consensual acts with him before the event and he said he was clean. like, i know he did that but why would he lie to me? i've been putting off getting tested for so long, i don't want it to be true. holding onto the last scraps of him being an okay person in my mind. i don't want this i want to keep denying it.
