HIV+ Celibate Elf I was born in Maine and love it here. I am a gay man living with HIV who has chosen to be celibate for the past 20 years. Yet I am lonely for the physical touch of another like minded man. I still enjoy snuggling and physical tenderness. I love music, camping, hiking, fishing, Kayaking, Canoeing, and most out of doors things. I am a retired behavioral psychologist and have dreams for starting access to online colleges in developing countries around the world.

I love to read cultural and historical novels and non-fiction. I drink only very rarely and only in social situations, but have a life long addiction to cigarettes. I have a small dog and live with my brother, my two best friends and a grown boy I adopted from Africa. I have a daughter from a previous marriage who is married and lives far away with her husband and my first grand daughter. While I am Anglo-American, my family is very inter-racial and I don't abide any negative racial attitudes or comments.

I am seeking a man who will be my life mate and partner who has a similar interest in music and literature and likes to travel within the USA. s----lity is not important to me and I would hope it is not important to him. Tender physicality in the form of non-sexual caresses, hugging and massage is a plus. He should love music, film, dance and nature. He should be a strong advocate for social justice and educational opportunities for all.

most importantly he should not be afraid of enjoying the company and companionship of a person living with HIV for the past 27+ years.
