Case Study 4

A young gay man, 17 years old and new to the scene, is frightened his sexual behaviour may be deemed as criminal. He does visit local ‘cottages’. More recently he has been having sex with a number of men in the ‘dark room’ of a nightclub. He asks you whether you think his behaviour is acceptable? Your opinion is sought as to whether the same things apply to his flat mate, who is a lesbian, as she is asking similar questions.
