What's a freak to do?
Dear Dr. Dick,
Halloween is my favorite holiday, but I always end up with too much candy in the bowl. Any advice for how to keep my tricking in-check?
Yours truly,
Joe McFreaky
Dear Mr. McFreaky,
You'd be surprised how many people write me at this time of year, concerned about too much tricking on Halloween. Below is a sure-fire list of ways to get your freak on while reducing fright on Halloween night.
� Keep costumes to yourself. To avoid coochie critters and other fright-night cooties, keep your pants on and don't share!
� Keep condoms and lube handy. Planning to get some booty? Go trick-or-treating at Seattle Counseling Service on Friday, October 26 from 3-5 p.m., for free condoms (many sensual varieties available) and lube.
� Use the condoms and lube. Use a new condom every time you have sex. Remember, condoms may wear out before you do. Check them often during sex, when you change position, or withdraw. Worried you'll forget to use one? You can put an insertive condom in up to eight hours before sex. It could make a great addition to your costume!
*ALWAYS use LOTS of condom-safe lube (water-based) with condoms.
� Stay hydrated! Shaking your ghoul thing will make you sweat buckets. Drink plenty of water before the fun begins. It's also important to drink lots of water if injecting is on your list of plans for Halloween night.
� Be smart about glitter. Apply it generously, but avoid your dick! Glitter has no place on your delicate flower (unless of course you dress up as a giant flower).
� Avoid biting. Wearing fangs? Avoid biting, and especially avoid drawing blood. You put yourself and your partner at risk for HIV and Hepatitis when playing Dracula.
� Don't mix crystal, boner-uppers, and poppers! Your heart will shift into overdrive, causing changes in your heart rate and blood pressure. Read further.
� Be a smart sexual being. Get tested often. How about Tuesday? Sign-up for Health Night at Seattle Counseling Service to get free, confidential testing for STIs, Hepatitis, and HIV. Health Night happens every Tuesday from 4-6 p.m. Call 206.323.1768 to sign up. Snacks provided.
Planning on bare backing?
� Don't douche or use an enema before going out. You could damage the delicate skin around the anus, making it easier to get or spread HIV.
� Pull out before cumming. You'll lower your chances of getting or spreading HIV and other STIs.
� Avoid booty-bumping. Booty-bumping can damage your bowels and anus. It can increase your chance of getting HIV, and can also make anal sex painful. Ouch!
� Use LOTS of lube. Lube will reduce friction and lower your chance of tearing the skin around the anus.
I hope this helps reduce the trickery. Happy fright night!
Dr. Dick
