so opening todays topic with a mostly rehtorical question, do people still ask their partners about std's? Or is it mostly just a roll of the dice? like i said mostly rehtorical my real quandry is about how? cause i can just picture it, First Date, just took her to a nice dinner were about to say goodnight she gives me a kiss, i break off cup her face in my hands and gently whisper.....do you have any std's specifically aids and gonorrhoea ya that could only go over well
I might muster a shy little, "Um, you've been tested, right?" mere moments before we do the dirty, assuming I'm not too overcome with lust to care at that point.
I always ask. I always use protection though because I never want children. But if we are together long enough and he expresses interest in forgoing condoms, then I will usually bring it up again and/or insist on getting tested together. I like sex WAY too much to risk anything marring my enjoyment of it.
yeah, i always ask about AIDS specifically. i usually just say "so, you're not trying to murder me with your vagina, are you?"
I'm so glad I am older. We have these things called adult conversations. When I start seeing and dating someone, it's just one of the get to know you questions. "When was your last std scan?" Romantic. Not really. Useful? Definitely. In my wilder days, I just used barrier methods.
