Tailseeker, from your knowledge of STI transmission can you tell us how risky is bareback anal intercourse for the owner of the penis? (Especially heterosexual anal, if that makes a difference). I know that it is risky for the owner of the anus. And thank you for all your contributions to this site.
Depends heavily on the STD. And the partner. HIV is very low. Herpes and spyhilis depends on symptoms. Chlamydia and gonorrhea as much as vaginal. But hep B is more of a concern.
What a load of bollocks, you suck cock for a living, if you had valid qualifications you'd use them, an NVQ in cleaning a labratory doesn't really cut it 
Do you know how much scientists are paid? Even living London it's shite. Outside even worse. Partly my fault, I quit uni after a masters rather than getting a PhD, but also partly the environment in science. We have more PhD students than there are places for qualified scientists. Go into a uni lab, about 3/4 will be PhD students a minimum, cheap labour compared to what a scientist could charge (and they'll work 12 to 16 hour days that post docs refuse to). You can easily get grants for students, for staff costs, the uni mostly has to cover that, and they're stingy bastards. Would rather redecorate their office instead (seen it as a students and working). With a PhD I'd maybe be able to ask for 40k a year which still doesn't cover more than the basics, but lands me with way more debt (pay as a PhD student is only about 12 to 15k a year, to cover the rent/travel/books plus 3+k a year tuition).
I'm a department head and don't even crack £40k a year. But I mean, there's no way I can prove that I'm a scientist without outing my real name, so believe what you want. But this is the reality of working in science. 1 in 5 scientists do sex works. That was a result in a survey from Kings uni. It's a really badly funded area.
