Gay Chat Rooms are Means for Casual Sex
Tuesday April 4, 2006
A study out of New Zealand found that over 43 percent of the 2300 lesbian, gay, and bisexual people surveyed used gay chat rooms to find casual sex partners. The Lavendar Island study, out of Massey University in New Zealand, also found that individuals with the greatest number of sexual partners were more likely to have found them on gay chat sites.Since casual sex can increase the chances of spreading HIV and other STD's, the study recommends gay chat rooms be required to post warning labels about the risks of casual hook ups.

Have any of you been to New Zealand? I have! That explains alot right there (just being sarcastic).
And, gee, given how open and loving and accpeting much of the world seems to be toward gay people, should it come as a big surprise that gay folks NEED chat rooms to find people, friends, or even just for sex?
Please, don’t bring the “sex” part into it only. One only has to go to Las Vegas and see trucks driving around with 20′x20′ billboards of strip joints and escort services to show that the Sex industry is alive and well all over the world.
Go to Google and type in SEX! Count how many heterosexual sites there are versus gay sites? You think gay’s have the market cornered on using the internet to find sex partners?
