the episode of "er" where they had to tell a teenager she had gonorrhea in her throat kinda clinched the whole need for it for me

Crazy, ain´t it ? I guess the idea behind it is that people think that as long as you don´t have bleeding gums (parodontitis ?) and as long as the guy doesn´t come in your mouth, it´s all good.Some even don´t mind swallowing because they think even if there´s HIV, the virus can not go into your system through your mouth and gets killed by the acidity in your stomach.
People probably take porn too seriously. Little do they know that the more professional porn stars, like , for instance Belladonna, are very aware of STDs and take precautions. She retired (again, this time for good ?) after she discovered a mild case of herpes on her butt cheeks.

Ahhhhh, the good old 70s....I wish I could live like that. A friend of mine took part in all that Studio 54 craziness that was going on back then, in NYC. And she´s very healthy.Well, that was before AIDS.

Here's a question:

Is sex EVER safe?

Although I'm 20 years old, I'm kinda old fashioned and shocked how many people I know have had stds, std scares, and pregnancies

Hell, since my senior year and graduation in 2006, at least 15 of my former classmates have had kids!

Which kind of STDs ? Just curious.

In Los Angeles? HELL FUCKING YES. I mean, I haven't done anal yet, besides rimjobs but other than that I am WAAAAAY safe. It's too much shit flying around out here. I am very selective and very safe.

JustErin said:

Is it really & truly "just as bad" though? I guess it is in terms of disease, but at least the pregnancy factor is gone

You wanna be careful of that if you are rimming

crabs, gnorrea, chlamydia..... Thank God no one got HIV or Aids

bboy87 said:

I thought those were STI's? There's a bit of a difference. The infections are actually removable.

JustErin said:

thank you erin...this was my major point...if sex cannot truly be safe anymore, are any of us having safe sex

(thanks for the comments people)

Well....if you and your wife are each other's first & only partners...then YES.

I am 1000% without a doubt in the safe catagory!

Trust!

i do. even in the context of committed relationships. if i'm just having an affair with someone it's simply a matter of not wanting to sleep with anybody else they dating but within marriage or long term relationship it's more about to keep the little guys from running after my eggs and fertilizing them. women in my family are incredibluy fertile. all you have to do is sneeze on us when we#re ovulating and we can get knocked up

in so far as STDS are concerned, when i'm single and dating, i'm just too scared of catching something out there to be bothered with unprotected sex. i just wouldn't be able to cope. for example, as a borderline diabetic, in the past i have been prone to yeast infections if my blood sugar levels ever went through the roof. i think i've had 2 by the age of 28? the second time my blood sugars were up in outer space and i got a yeast infection i was so distressed i literally changed my eating and excercise patterns OVERNIGHT. i NEVER want to have my blood sugar that out of control again. now..., the idea that there are things out there in the general population you can get that that are WORSE than a yeast infection??? and you can get this stuff from somebody's crotch and sperm...??? OOOH hay-ell NO, Sally. i'll be using a hat, thank you.

to some i know it sounds like a pain, but i have horrible fantasies of what kinda pain a real, live std can bring. shoot, you saw how extreme i was and reversed my entire way of EATING after i had to take 3 days of Vagesil! if a condom can protect me from something worse than sugar yeast ,they're staying right by the bedside

I swear to gawd I have a childhood girlfriend that's had ALL of that. She just told me during a gabfest last month that she's also had herpes since 1998
.

I feel weird admitting it, but I always KNEW there was a reason why instinctively I've never introduced her to any of my male friends for dating,or even drank after her on a shared cup...she's sexually promiscuous to the point of having ruined her body and her health . She's a good and loyal friend, but she takes waay to many risks with her body. I don't...and I also don't think it would be ethical of me to put any of my guy friends in a position where they would be at risk either. If they want to take chances on their own time and group of dates,fine. But I wouldn't feel right setting someone up with a woman who, although insanely beautiful, very intelligent and incredibly funny, will in all liklihood BURN them
