Bug chasers / seekers

Panky · 03-10-2003, 01:00 PM

Bug chasing is a fetish. I came across this on a another board and had no idea what bug chasing was and why it is a fetish. So, I decided to research it.

Apparently bug chasing has to do with being HIV negative and seeking a sexual encounter with an HIV + person for the sole purpose of contracting HIV.

Why?

There is sites dedicated to linking chasers with HIV + people who will voluntarily infect another individual.

What's your opinion?

I heard about that a long time ago. My theories are:

1. The Seeker is suicidal, but too wimpy to just outright kill himself.
2. The HIV Seeker is a really twisted individual who intends to then go out and infect unknowing girls/guys for his own personal vengence/mental issues.
3. He wants to live off the government. (They pretty much support you when you have HIV and become ill)

but in any case....YES---IT IS REALLY FUCKED UP.

I think it's scary for society in general. Even though it's real and happening, I couldn't imagine somebody wanting to die a slow death.

The question that comes to mind right now is; would you attempt to make a buck from this?

My answer? Sure would. My opinion on this? It's fucked up - but heck, people will do what they want anyway, so if I can get in the middle and get them both to fork over cash for something they'd do -anyway- .. I'll take their money.

Not like they're going to live to bitch about it

Yes, I know this is terribly crude and blunt, but the way I see it, if someone wants to off him/herself in a real slow way, I ain't going to try and talk them out of it. As I said, they're going to do it one way or another, and I'd rather be there and take their money than stand by and look at it *shrug*

Maybe I'm just too damn practical

Well said!

The only other addition I would make is that they want the attention.

That's one of the most distrubing things I've ever heard, especially because it's not just one person, it's a "fetish".
