So I stopped into an adult video joint and went into one of the booths. I noticed a big gob of fresh cum on the floor and couldn't help but scoop some up on my finger and pop it in my mouth. I've never done anything like this before and was surprised to find I absolutly love the taste. Now I often go to the adult booths looking for cum on the floor to clean up. I'm concerned about the health dangers of disease and such that may come from cum left behind by strangers. Can anyone give me any insight into what I should be concerned about and how to minimize the risks?

Thanks

Seriously, dude... is this a joke?

I'm feeling a tugging sensation on my leg...

But OK, if you're actually serious about this -- you might want to consider getting your semen from the actual SOURCE in the future. At the very least you can get a look at the guy and take note of the absence of syphilitic sores on his penis.

Look, some STDs are more easily transmitted by skin to skin contact, though semen alone can get you into trouble, too. Some STDs have no visible symptoms -- you can suck a dick or eat some cum and believe you have found a healthy partner only to be surprised in the near future. The fact of the matter is you are at risk from eating cum straight from the tap or from putting your mouth on a dick or slobbering up piles of stale sperm off the floor.

The reality is -- and I really hate to say this because it's only going to encourage you -- odds are good nothing horrible is going to happen to you.

But it might.

Frankly, I'd be repulsed by the filthy floor upon which the cum in question is congealing even more than I'd be worried about what's in the cum itself. Yet it's still likely that even the disgusting floor isn't going to hurt you in any serious way.

If you're horribly unlucky, you could get an STD that kills you from this new habit. Or you might just get a bad stomach bug from the fecal coliform bacteria that is undoubtedly all over the putrid floor. Or nothing at all...

We could all sit back and type in various bits of odds-making calculations, we could write a summary of every STD known to man, we could speculate about the half-life of HIV and how it may or may not become non-infectious within a certain period of time, we can debate the efficacy of laboratory tests versus real-world sexual situations -- all to no avail.

There is no correct response to your question. Yes, you are at risk from this behavior. No, you are not necessarily more or less at risk than if you "just" had sex with someone face to face.

Cold sperm on a dirty floor... uh... you might enjoy it a bit more when it's fresh, you know?

Take a look at some of patrons in a bookstore at any given time. Would you desire the sperm of ALL of them no matter what? Let's face it, man: some of these dudes are just not... very... clean. Maybe you are turned on by the idea of NOT knowing where it came from... in which case, ignorance is bliss, huh?

Here's a suggestion for you: go get yourself some culture medium in a little petri dish. Take a clean cotton swab and wipe a dry portion of a bookstore floor with it. Incubate. Examine the results.

(Shhh! We don't have to tell him the results will be very similar if he does the same thing with a culture taken from his own kitchen sink!)

I hope you have all your shots.

Is this a joke? That is the most disgusting thing I have heard in my life. You have no clue where this ‘came from’, but you eat it off the dirty floor? Personally, I’d picture the ugliest man alive spewing that load, and never think twice about eating it off the floor.

... but, thats me.

By the way, I'm a freak in the sheets. I love cum, but not from unknown people on floors with who knows what.

Shastyboi,

You're not the first to admit here that you eat cum left by others. I've seen posts by guys who admit to licking it off walls, seats, and other places while cruising. You're just the first I've seen that asked whether or not it was safe to do. I give you points for checking out the level of risk.

I'm gonna tell you that no, it is not safe to do. Not mainly because of the STD issue, but the location you choose to sample it from. And unlike others, I'm gonna tell you it will make you sick as a dog, or worse.

Around here, the ranchers come to town, stop off at the local "farm and home" store and then step over to the ABS just down the road. Some of them are hog farmers--some, cattle. You don't want to know where their boots have been. This is just one of hundreds of reasons the combination of floor and semen can be toxic.

Semen is also a perfect breeding ground for all sorts of nasty critters, due to its composition. Wet, full of nutrients, proteins, sugars, and friendly pH. It is agar on steroids.

Even sampling it straight from the tap is not 100% safe. But it is a quantum level of lesser risk than sampling it from the floor.

If you continue to do this, realize you are setting yourself up for a nasty trip driving the porcelain bus at the least. And at the most an emergency room trip with semi-private room and expensive attendants to boost.

I agree with the others.

Maybe you should change your posting name to NASTY BOI

I'm not going to debate this issue, so don't worry. I think all the opinions here have some degree of validity to them.

I did want to say a couple more things, though -- and then leave the topic alone:

It's interesting that someone actually DID mention something I touched upon regarding the delicate nature of the HIV virus when it is not in a host body. But the post in question is technically incorrect to state that "you will NOT get HIV." It is impossible to say this for certain. Yet this is also something I didn't want to get into -- it starts getting massively complex to painstakingly point out all the factors involved which contribute to how long HIV does or does not survive outside the body and when, exactly, its infectiousness is no longer a concern. So rather than bother with all of that, we can disprove this statement quickly and easily by saying that eating cum off the floor or from any surface where it has been deposited IS a risk for HIV transmission simply because we can NEVER know just how long it has been there. Video stores are active places. Men cum on the floors every couple minutes. Someone could shoot a load, leave a booth, and within ten seconds someone else could enter that booth and then subsequently eat that cum. Or it might be sitting there in liquid form for an hour. There is no way to know.

So please, let's not get into absolutes here when no absolutes exist.

Also, urine is STERILE when it comes from a healthy individual. There aren't any bacteria present in healthy urine which can cause illness. Drinking piss from the tap, assuming (and that's a very big word) that your partner is free of disease, is a very low-risk activity. Lapping up urine from a public toilet bowl, however, is not a good idea.

I'll agree with GuyTopeka in that this behavior is ultimately going to lead to a very unpleasant afternoon spent stranded within the confines of the nearest restroom, probably shitting and puking your brains (!?) out.

But I still think that mostly this disgusting habit is, unfortunately, fairly "safe" overall. The fact that semen makes a fabulous culture medium remains independent of WHAT is actually cultured ON IT.

The bacterial "menace" is all around us. Touch ANYTHING near you and you are touching bacteria. Most of it is nothing to fear -- we are well immune to everyday bacteria -- and much of it is actually beneficial to our survival as a species. However, there ARE lots of nasties out there which can make you sick, albeit it is unlikely that any bacterial illness is going to be long-lasting or cause permanent damage. You can effectively culture bacteria taken from ANY surface -- but it takes a while to start them growing at a seriously exponential rate. Semen dries in a very short time and loses most of its properties which make it a great culture medium quickly. We're not about to see mutant strains of bacteria being created in bookstores anytime soon. And a simple proliferation of bacteria which exist naturally in our environment is not going to be (most of the time) enough to make a difference as to whether or not you get sick or sicker or fall ill at all.

But YES, you CAN get sick from licking floors and walls, etc. You can also get sick from touching money and then touching your mouth. You can also get sick from touching the doors to restrooms and video booths and then touching your mouth (or face). We ALL do this sort of thing ALL the time and we don't even realize it (exceptions made for some of the OCD folks out there).

It's funny... about two weeks ago I was thinking about the TOKENS in video arcades. These little golden suckers have got to be EXTREMELY nasty in the germ department. Just think of the life they lead. They are in your pocket and in the pocket of THOUSANDS of other men. Just THINK of the interiors of the pockets of some of these dudes. I shudder to imagine WHAT might be in there! Then these guys are wandering around the video store, touching other men, touching other cocks, eating dick, eating ass, fucking, sucking... you name it. Tokens fall on the floor and some dudes pick them up. Many guys "finger-jingle" their tokens in their pockets as they walk around, letting other men know then are nearby, or just out of habit. The tokens get dumped into coin boxes and sit with hundreds of other tokens. They are cleaned out by... who? Which clerk? The clerk hands you tokens when you enter the store. What was he doing before he touched those? Did he just take a dump ten minutes ago, or maybe he had to clean the restroom? Who knows? Then the cycle starts all over again...

Tokens are filthy little fuckers, for sure.

I know I have touched tokens and then touched my dick or someone else's dick. Men have then sucked my dick. Men have licked my FINGERS. I have set tokens down on the seats. I've dropped some and picked them up from the floor.

Eh. I'm still alive. I haven't had a cold or flu in about ten years now, though I am quite sure I've had a few bouts of the trots possibly caused by some viral or bacterial unhappiness I encountered somewhere in my daily life -- well, that or maybe one too many Taco Bell "Big Beef Burrito Supremes."

A dude here once asked if he could get sick from just being INSIDE a video store. My response to him was something like: "No, don't be silly, AND yes, of course you can."

The same applies here, I'd say.

Medically, anything is POSSIBLE. But not everything is LIKELY.

I WANT very much to tell this dude that his habit is dangerous, foolish and just plain disgusting and that he should knock it off to protect his own health. But the reality is that I just don't feel that strongly about it. I think it's NASTY, sure. I think there is SOME small degree of risk involved... but I'm not certain it is any level of risk worth shouting about.

Touching the fucking tokens is bad enough -- there's no need to eat off the floor, too. But that being said... if we survive the filth that's on the tokens, odds are good we'd survive the filth on the floor.

But look at it this way -- eating cold, stale sperm off the floor is EXTREMELY LOW RISK for catching crabs!

Though you never know!

Scruffy,

After your post, I know for sure I will never put my ABS tokens in my mouth, if ever I was inclined to do so in the first place.

Think about how dirty money is the next time you are at a fast food restaurant after the cashier hands you back your change and then proceeds to handle all your food as she packages it for you to go.

Yeah, we could argue how well our skin actually protects us, how much minute amounts of metal salt formations on tokens really figure into the equation, etc. The bottom line is: one should not do things to invite bacterial infection. And handwashing is always a good habit, as those OCD folks will tell you.

Given this is your second post and the question seems really out there my first thought was this is a joke as well.

But, if you're serious, and want to minimize the risks....stop doing that dude! The cum is probably the least of your worries, it's the nasty shit on the floor that'll get you really sick. I'm surprised you haven't yet if you've been doing this for a while.

Anyway, if you like cum, suck it out of a dick, lick it off a chest, stomach or eat your own ;-) Enjoy.

Whenever I see outrageous statements or questions from people with low post counts, on any of the message boards that I frequent, I automatically assume that it's a joke. That being said, a few good topics were brought up in this thread. I've never thought about how filthy tokens are, but I often wonder if you could catch anything from letting your bare ass touch the seat in a theater or arcade.

Quote |

Jeremy974,

Yes, you can. It is possible, but not very likely. You are more likely to catch something from what you are doing while your bare ass is in contact with the seat than just the ass-to-seat contact. Also are you just sittting there or are you actively rubbing your skin over the surface of the seat?

Most pathogens need moisture, heat and food to live. And most don't survive long away from their host. That and your skin is your body's first defense to most contact-borne germs. These factors help keep the risk level low.

Crabs would be the most likely STD you could catch from a theatre seat, especially if it is cloth-covered. But crabs don't do well away from a human host. So the probability of it happening is remote. You'd have to take a carrier's place within a small time frame of him vacating the seat for transmission to occur. How long is the timeframe? Can't answer that quantitatively.

Following the above thread, if you sit in something warm and wet, your chances are greater than if you sit on something cold and dry. Again the risk is low, but real all the same.

If you are going to worry about your personal health as it relates to your visits to theatres, worry first about the cleanliness of your sexual partner. Worry about the consequences of your exposure to second-hand smoke second. And then worry about your exposure to disease-carrying pathogens and STD's lingering on the furniture, tokens, and bathroom fixures in the place.

(and fourth, worry about your state of mental health if you find yourself spending all your days and nights sitting naked in an ABS or theatre)

Quote |

Most ABS seats are covered in vinyl, for obvious reasons. This is a good thing. However, they are also padded on the inside and consequently have stuffing which can be exposed if the vinyl seat covering becomes ripped and torn.

Crabs will survive a WEE BIT longer in fabric, mostly because they might leave their host and lay eggs in the fabric which will then hatch in the near future.

It's STILL not highly likely that you'd get crabs in this fashion, but it IS possible.

So beware of ripped seats with stuffing hanging out.

Also, even though it is probably overkill, I wouldn't personally consider it odd to carry with you some of those antibacterial wipes or alcohol pads. Just tear open the package and swab down the seat. It dries quickly enough, a few seconds usually. Even though I don't feel there is any serious threat from ABS seats, the fact remains that they ARE quite filthy and loaded with bacteria. So if this is a concern to you, at least for your own peace of mind, you can be certain the seat is cleaned off, even if you can't disinfect every other surface and each token!

Of course you'd need a few of these little wipe packets on hand since we often tend to go from booth to booth... but they are small and easily carried in a pocket.

I personally do NOT pull my pants down -- at least not right away. Most guys tend to blow me standing up with my pants about thigh-high. But if I find a dude who wants to get into it for a long time, I will relax and take a seat and hope for the best.

So far, so good.

Wow SC, vinyl covered seating and padded no less! In an ABS? All the ABS's around here have a plastic patio chair, if they have one at all, that was bought at Wal-Mart for $3.99.

Quote |

I've come across the plastic patio chair a few times, too. I had nearly forgotten about an ABS in Charleston, SC. They had plastic chairs which served mostly to just get in the way -- the booth was too small to move them around much.

The VGR Systems booths seem to come standard with the padded vinyl seats -- but rest assured, they are nothing special!

There is an ABS in Tampa that has bar stools, of all things. MOST annoying. They are handy to use to lean back and let a guy suck you, but don't make for comfortable sex. Most dudes just stand up and move the stools.

Here in Niagara Falls there is a place with a grouping of four Buddy Booths together sharing adjacent windows. Each has a single, yellow, plastic KINDERGARTEN chair. They are so small that they are easily moved away, which is good. And actually, they are so low to the ground that a guy can sit on them to suck dick and not have to kneel on the floor while still getting a good angle, depending on his height. So this isn't so bad, but it just looks kind of creepy, having a kiddie chair in such an ADULT place.

Some of the older style VGR Systems booths (the ones that are fake wood paneling) have wooden benches with no vinyl or padding. This works fine.

The padded benches tend to make a puffing sound when you sit down as the air is released. Reminds me of when my Grandpa used to fling himself into his orthopedic lift chair! At least the wood benches are mostly silent, except for the creaking of the rusty screws.

One ABS in West Virginia had a gloryhole with hand-holds near the top of the wall. That was cool. There was also a tiny shelf upon which sat a box of Kleenex -- and a wastebasket in which to dispose of it. I thought this was a GREAT touch!

If I ever own my own ABS (and I wouldn't mind that at all), I'd affix a small corner shelf to each booth and place a clear vase on it with fresh flowers daily. Just to be funny...
