It may well be a fabrication with the intended result you described. If so, my bad for passing it on, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were true. Based on research the Kinsey's conducted among the gay population in S.F. in the 70's (I think), I do believe there is a serious neurosis at work in a statistically significant portion of the gay male population there. The numbers relating to anonymous sexual encounters were staggering -- we're talking hundreds (sometimes thousands) of partners, and among even my most libidinous hetero male friends, I don't find a parallel. Some will say "well look at Wilt Chamberlain and his 'Numbers'". I submit that Wilt (if he was telling the truth) was a one in a million hetero, while the Kinseys reported a gay male community in S.F. that was full of "Wilts". I don't have the sense that sexual "safety" is any more popular in the gay community than in the hetero community, but when we're talking frequencies of the proportion the Kinsey's described, public health becomes a serious concern IMO.
