I must admit I couldn’t watch the whole video due to bandwidth issues but it looked like it was pointing individuals in the right direction. For all the gross things that happen on the site, I applaud the site for at least taking the effort to provide information on HIV and STDs to such a large audience. Through my sifting through the weeds of Manhunt, which I just discovered through Wikipedia has over 4 million profiles, I discovered that they have a campaign called “Manhunt” cares. Although, I must admit, my picture on the site is an unsavory one from the days when I used to troll for sex.
While presumably, the majority of people log onto this site for sex, I was hoping to meet a friend to show me around the city when I arrive and make sure that I don’t get mugged. In an attempt to meet friends to show me around the city, I logged on Manhunt. I am going a day early so I will be there to meet him at the airport the next day. He is flying into San Pedro, the second largest city in Honduras after Tegucigalpa. My boyfriend is coming to visit at the end of this month. No frank discussion about sexuality of any sort. While there are many expats here in Roatan, there is no gay bar or social gathering place. I have finally encountered what is like to be gay in a place of no gays, what so many readers experience on a daily basis.
So here I am in Roatan, Honduras, an island off the coast of Honduras working at a medical clinic.
