It's not really rational to abstain from sex, exploring your sexual desires is an important part of life. A life without sex would be soooo boring! Wear a condom, or get your partner to wear a condom, whoever is penetrating (obviously), it's rational to be scared, but don't be scared of something that can be easily prevented with a condom, and although HIV is statistically more common in gay males, it does not mean that all gay males have HIV (although always practice safe sex, it's better to be safe than sorry).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
