Dunno about MMA, but Emille Griffith was a hell of a boxer in the 50's and

Once a guy ( Benny Parret ) was taunting him about it before they fought, Griffith killed him in the ring......Literally. One of the most brutal fights I've ever seen.

i guess straight up grapplers like wrestlers and jujitsu guys must be the gayest.

i know what you mean about boring ground stuff, i think there are a lot of fighters that should be in K1 or such to exhibit their striking so we dont have to watch them in the cage on their backs clinging to their opponent for dear life with no plan of attack other than to neutralize.

I got 2 Thai boxing fights under my belt.

Won by points (for being more aggressive than the other guy for sure) and another by KO.

I was invited to do MMA before it existed, I did fine but didn't like the floor game.

Am thinking about going to BJJ as some friends invited me and right now I just have no time to dedicate to that.

There have been a few gay boxers that did well including one that represented Canada in the Olympics, in Thailand they had a lady boy during the mid 90's that was amazing champion.

There are gay athletes in every single sport, playing at the highest level, but homophobia still rules and coming out can be the end of your career.

I could tell you about 2 or 3 guys that are sports idols but closeted due to the nature of their sport but outing people is not my thing.

Pretty retarded thinking to believe HIV/Aids is solely a gay problem.

[tiramisu]

Last time I checked the odds of getting HIV as a straight male were pretty much 0.

While staight women may get it from being sodomized by a bi/junky man with aids the odds of a man contracting HIV from a straight woman are much lower (less abrasion).
When you multiply the odds of a women getting it from a homosexual or a junkie times the odds of a straight man catching it from her it gets pretty slim.

After that it requires a fag/junky with aids to soak you down with bodily fluids when you are all cut up yourself.

All the time and I've even had sex with women before I got married.

Realistically aids IS a gay/junky issue in the first world. A friend of mine's wife cut herself while doing surgery on one and had to waited darn near a year to ensure that she wasn't infected but outside of being a healthcare worker or a MMA fighter it's just not a disease a straight male has much to be concerned about.

[dremen]

Do you believe that a straight fighter is less likely to be HIV positive?

YES.

The numbers show gay men tend to not wear condoms as often and str8 men. I've worked with a lot of gay men and woman and the guys even told me how disgusted they were with most gay men because of this.

Wonder how people in Africa get it.

[tiramisu]

From the same thread...
In parts of the third world, AIDS has, in fact, exploded among heterosexuals. But it has taken hold only in some regions, and among people whose immune systems are already crippled. For instance, the African epidemic is largely confined to the sub-Sahara, where malnutrition, poor health care, and such diseases as malaria and tuberculosis are rampant. In addition, because of their country's history of apartheid, many South Africans live and labor in squalid camps hundreds of miles from their homes. There, men with untreated STDs will often have sex with HIV infected prostitutes, contract the virus themselves, and bring it home to their wives, who, when they get pregnant, pass it along to their children. (Rural China, where similar conditions exist, is also suffering.) Oprah and Bono have lured TV crews to blighted African villages where the heterosexual epidemic is real. Viewers at home are left with the impression that AIDS - always the equal opportunity killer - could yet make its way into their own bed if they¹re not careful.

[BAM]

I think what it boils down to is that gay men **** a lot more men than heterosexual men do.

:)

[tiramisu]

More specifically Gay men **** a lot more men in the ass then heterosexual men do.
Odd but true.

[RagingRandy]

Do you believe that a straight fighter is less likely to be HIV positive?

Yes and so does the CDC. The stats show that over 50% of new AIDS cases are from homosexual men. Yet, homosexual men only represent about 5% or less of the population.

So yes, you are more likely to get AIDS from a homosexual male. Please educate yourself. http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/docs/FastFacts-MSM-FINAL508COMP.pdf

The level of intelligence in this board is falling down.

There are basically two reasons why PEOPLE get HIV, an accident or they thinkit will not happen to them.

I see here the dissemination of the second case. That isn't just stupid but dangerous as well as disseminates idiotic preconceived ideas used by morons to rationalize their own risky habits and therefore end up disseminating the virus for lack of awareness of contamination.

There is only one way to deal with this subject: assume that every person that you **** is positive unless proven contrary!

When I was single I always used a condom and got HIV tests every 6 months just in case. No matter what.

Assume that everyone is positive and that you may be as well and that is the only way to stop the dissemination of this plague. Rationalization of stupidity will bring humanity down.

The facts as presented by the CDC are pretty clear. The risk of HIV in straight men who are not splashed with body fluids of the infected on open cuts while they have a disease that lowers their own immunity is ridiculously low.

The myth is that there is significant risk of HIV to heterosexual males. This is simply not true. Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Herpes, certainly. Aids no. Check your facts.

I am just about as likely to die of AAS as AIDS as a heterosexual non needle sharing north american male.

There is some logic to your argument - a higher percentage of gay men have HIV than straight women, therefore if you are a gay man you are more likely to be exposed to HIV. Also, since gay men typically have more sex partners than straight men, the odds are confounded. So yes, gay men are more likely to be exposed to HIV. But, straight women are the fastest growing group of new HIV infections (rate of HIV infection in gay men is fairly consistent over time) - it's still a risk. Okay, maybe it's 1/100 instead of 1/10... are those odds you are willing to gamble with?

Also, you mentioned many other STDs. Are you aware that having other STDs dramatically increases you chances of contracting HIV through your penis? Especially syphilis and gonorrhea (and you can have both of these for a while without knowing it). In Toronto, almost 50% of new syphilis infections are HIV co-infections (and no syphilis is definitely not limited to homosexuals).

[tiramisu]

The odds of getting AIDS as a straight male are less than the odds of being hit by lightening.
It is pretty much a prerequisite not a co-requisite that the victim be immune impaired (often by an STD) in order for AIDS to infect the host.

Again check the facts instead of spewing rhetoric.

http://www.aliveandwell.org/html/risk_realities/whatever_happened.html

[nisser]

The odds are less if you're straight but if you think they're non-existant it's an incredibly dangerous thought.

The rate of syphillys is exploding in Calgary. Want to know in which group? Heteros. You wouldn't know that unless you visited the STD clinic and guess what, heteros generally don't.

All of those links you are posting are slightly confounded by the fact that straight people get tested significantly less than gay people. STD testing is so ingrained and encouraged among the gay community, that it's done by most people multiple times a year.

I can't remember when was the last time I saw a woman at the STD clinic and I've been going regularly for the last half a decade.

Why is it that some are so afraid of facts? It was never suggested that you should not wear a condom during sex. Why all the rhetoric when simple facts are presented?

Using the logic that some are supporting by saying that acceptance of the fact that Aids infections in homosexual men is greater than heterosexual men will lead to the lack of condom use would lead me to conclude that you are speaking out of your ass by saying that because I wear a condom I can put my dick wherever I like. This too is a ridiculous argument as condoms are far from being 100% effective. If you want to guarantee never to get an STD.......marry an STD free person and only have sex with them. That is as close to a 100% guarantee you have. The rest is just degrees of risk. Choose your own risk level and leave others to choose theirs.

Here is an interesting read. It questions the methodologies used in diagnosing AIDS in Africa.

TB itself is acknowledged to be the greatest killer in South Africa, particularly among younger adults. This is verified by the 2005 official South African statistics based on death certificate reports. They tell us that TB kills 4 times more people than AIDS, in South Africa and that ‘flu, pneumonia, heart diseases and diabetes all kill more than AIDS. (AIDS is today credited with 2.7% of deaths in South Africa,)

Finally and more optimistically, it should be noted that, that, despite the widespread malnutrition, poverty and disease, the African population is far from shrinking. The US Bureau of the Census, in its International Database 2001, reports that between 1980 and 2000, during reportedly the worse years of the African AIDS epidemic, the population of Sub-Saharan Africa went up from 378 million to 652 million.

Where are your stats to back up this statement?

Here is a couple. The heterosexual contact numbers reported by the CDC are for High-risk heterosexuals. By their definition this is .... "Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection."

The category I suspect most here would fall into is the Low-risk group. The problem is that the CDC does not report on this directly but includes it in the heading of "Other". The definition for Other is..... "Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified."

By definition low-risk heterosexual fall into the "not reported or not identified" category. This "Other group is only responsible for 1% of all new cases in the USA. According to this http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/resources/reports/2005report/table1.htm that is a grand total of 139 cases for 2005. Factor in that low-risk heterosexual males are only a fraction of that number, you will see how unlikely they are to get AIDS.
The male population in the USA is about 150 million.

I can not do the precise math because the numbers are not precise but it is safe to say the likelihood is nominal at best.


Several sites I found pegged the probability of being stuck by lightning in the USA to between 1 in 250,00 to 1 in 400,000.

Stats and studies are often misleading when applied without context.

For example: In Ontario in 2007 61 sexual assaults were reported to police per 100,000 in population.

Looking at that number and creating a percentage from it many would suggest there is not a problem of sexual assault in Ontario. Yet, on a nation wide scale (sorry - can't find Ontario specific numbers) it is reported that less than 8% of sexual assaults are reported. I'll go out on a limb and suggest that figure is probably similar for Ontario.

So, facts without supporting data and context is misleading.

[waderow]

stats are very misleading.

Using Nates figures, that gentle figure of 61 per 100000 actually means 250 sexual assaults every day in ON. Whether this is correct or not I dont know, but one def. sounds better than the other.....

If anyone things that he is safe, that person should know that the only safe sex is no sex at all. Even if you are in a committed monogamous relationship there are other ways to get illness into your system that doesn't involve cheating.

Stats without context are misleading. That is my contention.

Your comment about context led me to believe that the CDC stats were not straightforward and simply stated. If I was in error I apologize.

All I said was 87.5% of people are stupid.

"There are posters who are indifferent to statistics or facts. I believe the word that defines this is stupid, rather than ignorant."

sound familiar?

I would say those who believe, blindly, in statistics or facts to be neither stupid or ignorant but rather a complete dumbass.

I completely agree, 92.3% of posters prefer to believe in shit they just pull out of their butts. This is obviously true because I wrote it.
