dreamer, are you sure you're on the right website? Uh, yeah! Sex is messy! That's part of the fun of it. If you want to check stats, I'm sure there are links to them around here somewhere. But I've heard that the CDC has declared swingers to be a low risk group. Of course there's a risk, but you take risks every single day. A simple trip to the grocery store and wham! you've got little-kid-germs all over your hands from the shopping cart. Used an ATM lately? And don't even start me on public washrooms. The fact is, germs are everywhere. And as far as oral herpes goes, 50% of the population has the virus. One kid can pass it to another kid (yes, kids get them) by hugging or kissing each other. Or by sharing toys. Or sleeping on the same nap-time pillow. And unsuspecting parent kisses the kid hello at home time... Did you know that babies are born with sterile mouths? They inherit lactobacilli, streptococci mutans and spirochetes (cavity causing bacteria) from other humans. If it were possible to avoid contamination, people would never get cavities. However, the world is a messy place.
Inherently greasy and creepy?? I wonder if you're really here for friendly conversation or if you're trolling?
EDIT>> I'd also like to add that while we do take a risk by exposing ourselves to other people sexually, we DO, as a group, attempt to avoid taking stupid risks. Yes, we are aware of the risk of contagious disease, yes we use condoms, and yes, we're pretty picky about our partners. It doesn't eliminate risk, but it helps.
