Shut it down for a while.  Seems like the cases are slowly going up.  

On your dick.  

With a bit over 3500 cases currently reported compared with the 93,000+ 7 day average for COVID seems a bit too early to get worked up over something. Plus, money pox seems to be much less a health risk than COVID.

doesn't seem like it's a major "thing".  

you have some immunity.

No its more scare tactics. The media are not happy in the last 2 years unless we are all terrorised!!

Unlike Covid, the signs of monkeypox will be very obvious once contracted. I doubt anyone would try to hobby under those circumstances whereas you could never detect  someone who is asymptomatic with Covid trying to hobby.

It has been reported that a pregnant woman has come down with MonkeyPox. The incubation period is 5 to 21 days (up to 3 weeks) before the spots show up.  Hobbyist does not know they are infected see other providers and it becomes widespread.

Smallpox vaccine was widely distributed until 1972.   Providers might only start seeing hobbyists born before 1971.

And that was due to the guy having seen a provider?

Having read the reports and news articles it does seem like there are two things going on.  One, those in charge loved the power transferred to them during Covid so much that they are looking for the "next" crisis to manage.  And 2, the gay community wants more attention paid to this so health care resources will become more readily available to their members.  

We are now seeing fatalities outside of Africa.

Stressing about monkeypox can also be fatal.

Yes, I see it impacting the hobby. There are already providers on Twitter who are inspecting their clients bodies upon arrival.  I can see this leading to providers once again not willing to offer GFE type encounters ala COVID.

Who fucking believes this ridiculous government anymore.

This conforms with the information I have gleaned from various news sources.

If so, you probably have some level of immunity from Monkey Pox, however small. Trouble is, since no studies have been done on this, no one knows how much immunity remains, so you should probably get the Monkey Pox vaccine when it's available to you

start cross-contaminating innocent straight people via incidental contact. For now though, at least in the US, Monkeypox is only a problem for gays who engage in promiscuous sex.

Cuz even you can't possibly be that dumb.
You can't really believe gays will "start cross-contaminating innocent straight people via incidental contact." That's so far-fetched in terms of actual, real-life spread as to be ridiculous.
Please take your toxic, ignorant homophobia back to the P&R board.
You're an embarrassment.

gay partner's anus for monkeypox pustules before plunging in.  

should check always not just because monkeypox.  
Hopefully vaccines start to roll out for a wide more population because now it seems to be very restricted in some areas.

Hmmm. Not sure what you're thinking in terms of cross  contamination but there reviewers on TER who see both female and TS providers so you would think they carry a higher risk to spread this outside the gay community.

Do you think the few children that have contracted it got it?  Maybe your a fan of the old "toilet seat" rationale.

Great point.

I saw a report that a guy who did bbfs with a provider got monkeypoxx.  

Where is this report?

Monkey Pox will affect the HOBBY as much as the current & past virus have up to this point. So, what do you think?!!

The Post actually did some good journalism in laying out all the Monkeypox missteps by those in charge.  Turns out there is more to governing the USA than solar panels, EVs and windmills.

Absolutely.  There's countless number of ways the government will scam you

Monkey Pox DOES NOT affect those of us who have had small pox vaccine which is most people born before 1976 !!!

Hello folks,
