I'm retiring after a 5-week binge of 6 visits.

I fulfilled some of my fantasies, but far from all.

In addition to money donations to various children's charities and community volunteer work, I like to donate blood periodically as it's truly a direct effect in saving someone's life that may need it. Karma? Surely, one of these days, myself or someone I love will need blood.

I just realized that I don't think I can donate again until at least 12 months later because of pooning. I've played it safe and covered each time for FS and BJ, except HJ.

It sucks that I realized this before I could see some of the girls I wanted to see. Maybe I should do like a top 3 before I stop. I mean, already screwed it up already, so I need to wait at least 12 months before I can get back to being a regular donor again. Hm, yea, maybe I'll do that instead otherwise if I stop abruptly like this, I'll end up coming back to it in the future.

Helping save someone else's life definitely takes higher priority than my tiny wee. It's not like I'm missing anything in my life. Beautiful wife that loves me, lovely children, etc etc. I was just curious how the pooning world works, and yes, I am horny all the time, but I think starting to get passed the phase with the kids where wife and I can do it regularly again.

All right, I'll see a few more before I call it quits. See how hard it was to resist tiny wee? I hear Josie Roxxxxxxxxxx is hot, so maybe she's next. Hm, or make it the last one? I don't know. The last one has to be a good one so to leave with a bang. OK got off topic there.

Any one else who were blood donors and can't anymore because of pooning? Ever consider not listening to the little brain to be able to donate again?

Once bitten, twice shy... I imagine it has something to do with the tainted blood scandal the Red Cross has been through in the past.

I've only donated to Canadian Blood Services, so I'm unsure of others, but there's a questionnaire you must answer every single time you donate. I believe because of scarce resources of testing blood, they prefer to pre-scan with a "human volunteer" to see whether a person is lying or if any of the questions don't meet the donation criteria, in which case, the blood either proceeds to testing and be used, or simply not used and untested when it hits the lab. Because during that one-on-one private interview, they give you one of two bar codes (to use blood or not use). No one at the clinic knows whether your blood should be used or not until the lab scans the bar code. This is my understanding of the process, not fact. They don't want folks to use their resources as a free test lab. Not only that, what if there are rare "errors" in the test, and the blood isn't clean due to the unsafe activities, the questionnaire is another layer of scanning to help decrease chances of contaminated blood hitting the system. I agree. It's like making it from 99.999% safe to 99.999999% safe, etc. (I don't know what the actual %s are)

Sorry, got a bit off tangent there. So, on the questionnaire during the one-on-one interview, the volunteeer asks you some questions aloud and if you answer yes to any of them, your blood is pretty much not eligible to even hit the test lab even if you believe you are clean. There are many questions most, if not all of us, are screwed on, but some of the questions I believe we're definitely screwed on such as:

#18 - At any time since 1977, have you taken money or drugs for sex?
#25 - At any time in the last 12 months, have you paid money or drugs for sex?
#26 - At any time in the last 12 months, have you had sex with anyone who has taken money or drugs for sex?
#30 - In the past 6 months, have you had sex with someone whose sexual background you don't know?

Hahahaha nevermind 6 months or 12 months, fuck, I bet most on here can't donate if they cut it down to even days... hahahaha

So, I wait 12 months, and either get tested myself during this time to get peace of mind, or wait 12 months to see if I get any STD symptoms (especially HIV/AIDS), and if not, then I'm good to go!

Yah, I feel really bad that I never thought of this before having started this "hobby". So, hahaha a few more visits won't hurt at this point. Then the 12 month countdown to doing some direct good again.

Maybe I'm completely clueless on this. But why such strict questions? Don't they test the blood before they give it to anyone? I realize you'd have to keep the blood for at least 6 months to be totally sure it doesn't have HIV, and test it then, so maybe blood doesn't keep that long, is my assumption? In which case there's no sure way to keep it safe and it would be pretty easy to get infected blood in there.

This might answer a couple of your questions:

"If a person receives a blood transfusion with HIV-infected blood, there is a 95 percent risk they will become infected with the virus. 4 However the chances of becoming infected with HIV through a blood transfusion varies between countries depending on the level of safety precautions in place, and there is a notable difference between high and low-income countries. In the UK, the risk is now 1 in 5 million. 5"

"...The availability of nucleic acid tests (NAT) , which reduces the window period and makes testing much more accurate, helped to support the argument for a change in the ban against MSM donating. These tests have been found to almost eliminate the possibility that HIV infected blood will pass through the testing stage, even in countries with high prevalence. 33"

"...In 2009 blood screened for HIV in Greater Accra, Ghana amounted to 33, 294 units of blood, of which 3. 68 percent was found to be HIV positive. 45 Ghana tests 100 percent of its blood donations, however this is done using only antibody tests. Therefore the window period remains a significant interval, which suggests some units may continue to pass through screening undetected.

"In October 2005, South Africa introduced NAT testing and as a result there were no cases of HIV transmission by blood transfusion reported to the haemovigilance programme, a transfusion surveillance system. 46 47

Oh, no, the donated blood is only good for several days up to a month. It's why they need a continuous stream of donations all the time. The blood can be used for different purposes and not simply straight transfusion (i.e. extract plasma from the blood that can be stored frozen longer). And donors can only donate every 56 day cycle. I really, really admire these good people that go every 56 days to help strangers that they don't know. Seriously, without many good people in this world, many of us selfish folks would literally die... That's life! It isn't fair.

Saw this in the news today:

"Federal report raises questions about Canadian blood transfusion system"

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/dail...adian-blood-transfusion-system-195132389.html

"The integrity of Canada's blood supply once again appears to be in question after a federal report uncovered thousands of "high-severity" errors in the transfusion system that potentially could cause serious harm to patients, the National Post reported.

The Post, which obtained the Public Health Agency of Canada pilot study of 11 hospitals under the Access To Information Act, said the report also warns of a "staggering" cost to the system because of wasted blood.

It said many of the mistakes involved mislabeled blood samples taken from patients for testing, which creates a risk they may get the wrong type of blood.

"Errors came with a considerable patient and financial burden," says the report, according to the Post.

More than 6,000 patients had to have samples re-taken and their transfusion delayed because of mix-ups, while nearly $800,000 worth of blood products were destroyed.

"Given that the participating hospitals transfused less than 10 per cent of blood products nationally, the total Canadian burden is considerable," the report says.

Agency officials played down any real danger, telling the Post that most of the mistakes were "near misses" that were spotted before any harm was done.

But the report raises the spectre of the tainted-blood scandal of the 1980s, when thousands of Canadians were infected with HIV and hepatitis C due mainly to poor donor-screening practices and other problems with the system then run by the Canadian Red Cross Society.

The disaster led to the creation of Canadian Blood Services, an independent agency now responsible for the blood supply.

Despite the adverse report, Canada's blood-transfusion system remains one of the safest area of medicine because of the reforms that grew out of the scandal, Dr. Jeannie Callum, director of transfusion medicine at Toronto's Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, told the Post.

Sunnybrook, for instance, has stepped up safety by bar-coding samples to match a patient's bar code to reduce chances of a mistake and training medical residents in a "transfusion camp."

It's especially important not to waste blood products, said Callum, who works in the Public Health Safety Agency's blood surveillance program. The agency's report analyzed results from the system's first three years of operation, 2005-2007.

It identified 31,989 errors, just under 3,000 of them rated at high severity that could potentially harm patients.

The report said 23 patients were actually harmed, suffering allergic reactions or fevers after receiving the wrong blood type or product, the Post said. There were no deaths, which Callum said are rare.

"Canada has one of the safest blood systems in the world," agency spokeswoman Sylwia Gomes told the Post via email, adding the surveillance program has been expanded to 15 hospitals.

"The large majority of reported errors in the blood handling and transfusion process were minor and presented no risk of an adverse event to the patients involved." "

I used to donate blood fairly regularly as well, my understanding for another reason why they have these questions is because they are trying to prevent people from using blood donating as a free testing service, in addition to the main concern of minimizing acquisition of tainted blood.
