Men who sleep with men (MSM), or Neo-heterosexual

September 20, 2006

According to Reuters.com, a survey of approximately 4,000 New York men found that of those who were self-described heterosexuals, about 10% had exclusively slept with men in the past year. Why is this important? According to Reuters:

In general, self-described heterosexuals, whether they had sex with men or not, had fewer sexual partners than men who said they were homosexual. However, self-described straight men who had sex with other men were less likely than gay men to have had an HIV test recently or to use condoms.

All the more reason to be more inquisitive about your partners sexual history. If you are, or plan on having sex with someone, its imperative that you know their sexual history. If that's still not enough for you, get tested together!
