Manhunt.net. M4M-World. BigMuscle.com. Adam4Adam. Craiglist. Men4SexNow.com. DudesNude. These names are just a few of the many online "dating" websites that specialize in the facilitation of the exchange of bodily fluids. Since the advent of these internet sites, there have been tons of stories that demonstrate both the positives and negatives of trolling for men online. Here is a sampling of some real life experiences: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. (Names and identities have been changed to protect the guilty.)

THE GOOD
"I was chatting with this out-of-towner who was staying at a Michigan Avenue hotel. While the nude pics he sent me were decent enough I didn't get a good sense of what his face looked like. Still I trekked to the hotel on a hunch it would be worthwhile, and boy was it! The guy was actually a really popular reality TV show contestant from a couple of years ago. I was star-struck. and star-fucked. Honestly the sex wasn't that good, but it was still a thrill of a lifetime."
Justin G., 34 (Rogers Park)

"An internet hook-up came over to my place one night and stopped by a convenience store first to pick up some beer. He also bought lottery tickets. Well, he ended up matching 5 of the 6 numbers, won $200,000, and then gave me $15,000 of it. He said the only reason he bought the tickest was because of our hook-up and thus I was entitled to some of it."
Derek D., 38 (South Loop)

THE BAD
"When my boyfriend was out of town I played around with this stud at his place. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me at the time he had a hidden web cam on the bookshelf streaming our sex session onto the internet. As luck would have it, my boyfriend's best friend happened to be tuned in at the time. When my boyfriend confronted me, I tried to deny it but he knew far too many details. He then told me about the webcam. I was cooked and our relationship, needless to say, was over."
Brad B., 29 (Lakeview)

"I hosted a guy and his friend one night at my place. Everything was going fine at first but then we all started doing some drugs and it turned ugly fast. They got aggressive and hit me, tied me up, and basically raped me repeatedly. Then they robbed me of $200 and left me with a bloody nose and bruised ribs. I was too embarrassed to call the police because of the drug use and also because I kinda enjoyed being raped. I know, twisted isn't it?"
Zachary, 36 (Uptown)

THE UGLY
"I was really horny and a tad bit drunk late one night last summer and went to the house of this guy who in his G pics was a cute blond twink. When I got there I knocked on the partially opened front door and he yelled for me to come in. I got a strange feeling and briefly thought I had stumbled into one of those Dateline "To Catch A Predator" set-ups. Well, I was kind of right about it being a set-up and a man came up behind me wearing only a towel. Instead of a cute twink, this guy was in his mid-40s, about 30 pounds overweight and just plain butt ugly: crooked teeth AND an overbite; a face with really bad acne scars; and he had a greasy mullet hairstyle. I was so pissed! I started to read him the riot act about false advertising and then he nonchalantly dropped his towel. I'm not proud to admit it, but my jaw dropped and then I just dropped to my knees. He had a legitimate 10 inch penis and it was so thick! Like I said I was really horny and quickly got over being duped. I couldn't walk right for a week, if you know what I mean. <grin>
