This whole forum reminds me of a petrie dish. Please use protection and be safe.

I totally agree with this. I couldn't handle it either, though. If the openness was only one way, however...

Why do you come here then?

minneapolisgenius said:

I was gonna respond that I always wear protection whenever I come into a petrie dish,
but as I already posted in another thread,
I don't feel comfortable enough yet to start sharing such intimate information with y'all.

The risks of infection are higher with multiple sexual partners.
I'm not hearing anyone who believes in open relationships mention using condoms or any protection
I keep hoping.....anytime now.....be responsible..

I for one, and tired of having sex with the same person all the time.


And don't know how much more of it I can take.

I am very frustrated by it all!!!!

shouldn't have to be mentioned, because it's a given.

luv4all7 said:

Well, do it now before you're too crinkly and flaccid to attract anyone's attention with your physical appearence. Time's running out fast and there's not enough minutes to be posting hopes and fears to strangers on a Prince website. Get out there and shag every beast with pulse and energy. Or else, stop moaning.

I want to. I wanna go whore myself out at this rate.

But I'm married honey, and I won't cheat.

I'd rather just finger myself at this rate.

I'm really really irritated about this at this moment, or TRUST ME, I would not be tellin' you guys.

Number23 said:

that's right! moaning's not allowed round here!

CarrieMpls said:

Not even when she's fingering herself?

Well I got irrated at you calling me honey there. Suddenly you were Dolly Parton on stage putting down a heckler. Still, I get angry when my girlfreind tells me she loves me, so don't listen to a word I write. As Americans are want to say, I have issues. But listen anyway, and you'll have heard this before, from better than me I'm sure - marriage is a illusional nonsense and exists only to reinforce a spastic social hierarchy which cements a woman's status as property. You don't need to belong to anything, whether it be a man or a DVD club or peer clique. Go out and get shagged. You're going to die soon. Do it now before you're old and bitter and speaking in acid.

oh mylanta !

OMG.

I think for most people the concept of an open relationship is a myth....a fantasy best kept in the fantasy realm than actually explored...because invariably, jealousies and inhibitions will always come into play....one or both of you will have some kind of problem with the level of openness....or if one is a bit more successful at the openness than the other....or you simply can't truly deal with the image of your sig other "bumpin' uglies" with someone else, no matter how progressive you fancy yourself to be....

For me, you either have to be in a relationship that is so together that it isn't a problem....or so emotionally detached that you and your sig other are like ships passing in the night, nothing more than roommates with perks....I wouldn't go that route, as much as I like to think I could, because in equal parts I wouldn't want to deal with the drama from sig other....and deep down I know me, and I would stew and stew until I became the sig other slingin' drama...

Here's a given:

Direct from the www.cdc.gov/std web site:
Hepatitis B...1 out of 20 have been infected. HBV is spread by having sex with an infected partner or contact with infected blood. No RX available for acute infections. Antivirals can RX chronic Hep B. 15-25% of people with Hep B die prematurely from liver cancer or cirrhosis.

HPV---20 million in the US have genital HPV infections. There are 100 varieties of this virus. 5.5 million people acquire HPV per year. Can lead to cervical and penile cancers.

Well, fuck him.

I just hope that Luv4all7 has her finger tested before she does anything.

Number23 said:

Give me more ways to feel better about slutty sex Number23, HONEY. I'm almost buying it.

Number23 said:

should we be worried if the CDC (!!) can't spell cirrhosis?

xplnyrslf said:

You know, I agree that protecting yourself and playing safely is an important message. I guess I wonder what your intent is on bringing it up repeatedly here. If you want to talk about it, perhaps it warrants its own thread. When people constantly throw the disease factor around, I wonder if they want to scare people into behaving the same way they do. Or if it's just the 'ick' factor they want to bring up over and over and over.

If you're a sexually active adult, safety is your number one concern. I think that's a given, no matter how many people you're sleeping with. It only takes one.

If you're in a monogamous relationship, you're still at risk from anyone your partner has been with before you. With HPV and even herpes, people can have it for long periods of time without showing any symptoms and not even know they do. Not to mention you're at risk if your partner cheats. If you're able to be open and honest about what you want and need out of a relationship (that being an open one), you're more likely to be honest about safety as well. And more likely to be prepared.

Love it.

INSATIABLE said:

lemme guess...

Number23 said:

Because you know she does? Or because love is the reason we're all here? Or both? Or neither?

INSATIABLE said:

I had a wee navelgaze and figured it out pretty quickly a few months ago. I'm not happy with what I've achieved so far in life, I feel it's in inverse proportion of what I'm actually capible of and therefore I'm not my own biggest fan. I don't actually like being liked either, I don't seek love and safety. Although I feel like a superbeing, I also feel like something someone's stood on. You know me. I have issues, man.
