Have you seen it? Is that a dumb question or what? I went to see Brokeback Mountain just the other day with a friend. I, like everybody else, enjoyed it! There are pieces of it that remind each of us of ourselves and things that we have each experienced, and it beautifully exposes feelings and issues that each of us has to deal with at one time or another. The movie is wonderful. I read the short story before I went to see it and I knew the movie would be exceptional because the story was!

Times have changed. One thing that I am sad to say is that HIV is an issue now. It wasn’t then. If that story was being written about two modern cowboys, Jack and Ennis wouldn’t have been able to just slam it like they did. That scene would have been about five seconds longer if it were written about today. Modern cowboys need to be prepared with lots of condoms. With a little practice, however, that scene could have been just as passionate, and safe too! Let’s face it, one of those pack mules would have needed to be loaded with my cute little condom and lube packs! Forget the baked beans!

You see, it always pays to be safe! Both Jack and Ennis had partners outside their relationship. Jack knew about the one that Ennis had but Ennis didn’t find out about all of Jack’s until very late in their romance. In fact, he didn’t find out about some until Jack died! They both had others they needed to be careful for, too. You never know! But you can always be safe! Bareback mounting just isn’t a good idea!

If a cowboy in your past wasn’t safe, I can help you with a quick confidential test. Come see me! I have tests. I have tips. I have condoms. I have lube!
