I apologize in advance if anything I say hurts your feelings but I feel like I must say them.
I've never done any kind of drugs and not much alcohol, so this is just my very "limited experience" opinion. He seems to remember a lot about the situation. This raises a red flag to me. Are these hazy memories or not?
wondering Wrote:This other man had a hidden agenda of wanting to sleep with him... he offered my bf drugs.... a drug he has never tried before. They used them together. They make you want to have sex. (this was the first time he tried these drugs and he had no idea that it made you want to have sex). He actually said he wanted to go find a girl they were partying with earlier but this other man, the gay one who offered him these drugs talked him out of it.
Some men cannot accept that they are curious about being with another man and/or acted on that curiosity. That's not to say that your bf was not taken advantage of but I tend to be a little skeptical. The first thing that popped into my mind is his scenario is the classic “gay panic” defense that spins the situation so that he is a victim who will receive your sympathy and establish innocence. I apologize if I'm way off base. Male rape, date rape drugs and predatory individuals are real. But, there's just something about this story ...I don't mean to be crude but did he top or bottom? That may make a difference in my response.
But, whatever happened, I don't think his experimentation is the important issue here.
Look, I have two younger sisters, who I love dearly. You seem like a nice lady, so I just have to tell you what I would tell them no matter how mad they/you might get at me. The big brother just comes out in me, ok?
Sometimes our hearts blind us and we're a little too quick with giving our trust. This man has a history of drug use. Did this ever involve
shared needles? Does he use condoms? Has he been tested for HIV
PRIOR to becoming intimate with you?
And, I'm not looking for you to answer these questions on this board, I just want you to think and take your heart out of it.
You can be as supportive and proud of him as you want—4 years sober/drug free—that's great. But, has he thought about YOUR health and safety? Have you? The reality is you are in a relationship with someone who has a high risk **DRUG USE** past, please don't play around with your life. You both need to be tested for HIV and hepatitis b and c. There are two people in the relationship and you are equally important. And, his word is not good enough, you need lab results.
Sexual experimentation is not a big deal, your life is.
