Kind of funny how "Neilist" over on AED is calling Quinn a faggot. Since he's married with children you wouldn't think that would hold much water....but wait, what's this?
Quote:The Raw Truth: Conversations With Young Adults Show That Knowledge of HIV Issues Is Missing in Actionhttp://www.aegis.com/news/misc/2002/JM020501.html
(As Published in the March/April 2002 Edition of HIV Plus Magazine)
...In a clear sign of trouble on the horizon, raw has become fashionable for many young gay men. Pointing to the computer, Chris, a self-described fitness enthusiast, explains that "raw means condomless sex. It's the rage!" As the instant messages continue to arrive, some contain invitations to group sex parties where condoms are optional and drugs are plentiful. "At these parties," Chris says, "nobody asks your status-nobody cares. We just play raw and have a good time. I'll probably go to one tonight."
Some of the messages contain terms in what has become part of the everyday vernacular for Chris. "See these letters BB and PNP?" Chris asks. BB means bareback, and PNP means party and play."
...It is thought the Internet has contributed to this movement toward unsafe sex. Quinn Tyler Jackson, Ph.D., an author and researcher who has followed societal changes relating to interpersonal technologies, says, "There is clearly a link between access to the Internet and the sexualization and personal boundary setting of youth, and this very likely carries from keyboard to daily life choices. If there were no link, why have I spent the past six years helping develop software that controls the use of computers by youth-even those standing in full view in public libraries?"
So why does a guy writing a story about queers and HIV contact Quinn for his expert view? Does Quinn have some kind of special insight into the sodomite community????
