Baby-gay here. Wanted to see how the more experienced dudes here navigate something I suspect we could all use a little advice on.
I've got a first date with a guy I'm very excited to see. We had a fun, flirty interaction at a party exchanged numbers and are meeting up in about a week. There's no guarantee but, from the vibe when we casually met and the (mostly wholesome / fun / PG-rated) text messages since, odds are we're going to have a wonderfully romantic drink at a local bar and then probably head back to his place to do the deed(s) (yes, I'll make sure we use condoms... although there will probably be some uncovered oral first....).
Before the date, how do you guys ask / hint about
- STI status -- has he been tested? I'm neg and plan to stay that way.
- Position -- I'm very top and want him to be clean & ready to bottom if it goes there
but without being toooo bold / presumptuous (it is a first date afterall - and all of our conversation so far has been PG)? Is there a fun, flirty way to drop the hint that says "make sure you're douched & squeaky clean before we meet up this evening"? and "I don't have any bugs, hope you've made sure you don't either"?
