How often do you get STD tested?

If that was a response to my message I said trust, not trust just before he unloads. That's a one night stand.
I get to know them well before they get into my bed. Not only what they like but what they are about, once I feel safe they are all about the same things I am then I feel safe with them. Let's just say it takes a while before a guy gets in my bed. I hold out till I feel right and oddly enough most of the guys I was with were all about making sure they felt right about it too.

 

I've only been with the one awesome girl and she's only been with the one awesome me so we are fine. We did have a thrush scare years ago that can still creep up into me. I think it was the flavoured lube we were using. She had no symptoms but I'm uncut and was getting cracking skin, red dots etc. we used a cream and it worked like a charm. Every now and again it'll come back but it's generally when my cum is sickly sweet and that's usually after a heavy night of rum and coke so I think the sugar plays its part in all that. I just gotta like wash and clean properly afterwards and make sure no leaking fluids are left.

I think that simply trusting a guy is a bit weak though. I know my mates, I don't know what they've got but I know they'll say anything if they're gonna get a chick in the sack which is scary because if they aren't interested in the protection god knows what the chick could be carrying.

 

See, the thing is I gave my honest opinion about myself and what level of safety method I use and that offended some, kinda like saying post Only if you test. OP asked how often and I said none, a fair answer. I gave my reason.
I know lots about viruses and that they can't be seen but being the type to have sex with only someone I have built a trusting relationship with I don't run for testing like someone who dates many and will have sex with many of them should.
No one said having sex with several partners is wrong, I said I don't. By the time that's happened it's past dating already. Dating in my MO is the getting to know each other where commitment to each other isn't there yet. I don't do sex till I can commit myself to being kind of exclusive to him and feel he is too.
Sex is very important to me but it's last on my list of Do's when getting to know a guy. He cares about me before he gets to care what my pussy feels like.

 

..2yrs ago..

 

People are a bit sensitive here, what are ya gonna do?

Well better a forum bump rather than a new post on the same topic.

 

Wish I had a reason to get tested!!

 

Killed this sucker dead,mane.

 

I killed it last night for 16hours..

 

Anyways....

hm yea when i was single and in open relationship- every six months to a year depending.

But neither of those things have been for many, many, many years now. So, since then... no reason to go when just w hubby- however, have been tested for pretty much everything under the sun anyways once when pregnant with first child and have recently been tested for everything again because I'm pregnant again. So anymore...being that I've just been w one person for quite a while... I'd have to say, I get tested when I get pregnant, haha.

 

Twice a year when monogamous, four times when promiscuous.

 

What the Irms and I are on about is not about you, but everyone else, especially younger girls reading this...that the message from you is basically once you feel you can trust a guy, he cant possibly have an STI. Once you have a deep caring sharing emotional connection bla bla blah, he can never just get bored and on a whim go get a sloppy blowjob from a cheap hooker and get an STI



Either this is how ALL guys are:

Or thats just the act they put on for you because they know its not going to happen until your convinced they are never going to cheat, because they know its really about jealousy and being a control freak and not about the deep emtional connection garbage

 

I understand what you are saying, I think Irm got a little pissed at my answer tho. Seemed like she took it personal and it wasn't meant as personal to anyone.
Yes if you are not sure you should get tested for sure. Especially young people and those involved in many relationships rather then one long one and any who partake in sex groups.
But that was my answer about me, not any others.
And no I don't think my men were acting as protective over themselves to cover anything they think I would worry about like messing around. I tend to test their honesty and even tho a few relationships had to end for various reason I have never had a break up over them messing around or telling me they found another. In fact usually it was due to a move one or the other had to do, a death and me leaving my X hubby (first husband) due to loss of interest we both experienced. We agreed to part as friends, it took him a while to find someone else and me, I sold my soul to a store for 4 and half years till a guy finally convinced me I needed someone (him) so I sold it and jumped on his ship. Was all good till I found out his other love was pot. At least it wasn't another woman, haha. I kicked him out of my house, sold it and moved not long after for work, again.

 

Ohhhhh.....watch when you say "esp. young people"... I've heard numerous articles in recent years about how the highest rising group of people who are finding out they have different STI's that didn't think they had.... are actually older- older meaning like elderly people. DEF on the rise with older people. (and honestly I think it's cause some older people think those things are all kids things... things only younger people need to worry bout).

 

Haha I'm kidding with this but...

Someone in the older crowd dipped into something young and dirty and started spreading it among his age group for that epidemiology to occur.


(Half-serious but also half-joking)

 

Yeah, that too
