What was the name of that movie where Leslie Nelson and Elvis's ex wife were wearing those "full body" condoms?? I can't get that image out of my head. Was it "The Naked Gun?"
Anyway, life is full of risk. Herpes virus can live for hours in a public restroom or up to ten days in damp towels. Everywhere else is somewhere in between. It is killed by a 10% bleach solution or a few available solutions or an adequate amount of time and dessication. 95% of the public has a form of genital warts including 60 to 80% of teenage virgin girls depending on which study you read. They can be passed from genitalia/mouth to hand to hand to genitalia/mouth. This form can only be found by physical exam/biopsy/smear and is responsible for most cervical cancers. Should I go on?
I ride a motorcyle. Sometimes I ride it too fast. Sometimes I ride it in traffic. Sometimes I ride it at night. Sometimes I wear full body armor, sometimes a leather jacket/jeans, sometimes just a T shirt/jeans. I very very rarely ride without leather gloves. I NEVER ride without a full face helmet and boots. Well, that one time in Florida doesn't count.
Everybody has to rationalize THEIR ACCEPTABLE RISK THAT DAY AND OR TRIP and go with it and enjoy the ride.
Dreamer, you just have to weigh your possible risk with your possible benefits and make your own decision. If kissing or having sex with someone is the same as placing your tongue or penis in a petri dish in the science lab, even if you try to swing you aren't going to have any fun. You have to work through that before thinking about swinging or eating in the cafeteria or leaving the house............. you get my drift.
As for starting sex without kissing?? It's possible. It's not as much fun, but it's possible. How many of you have had a girl just unzip your pants, pull it out and start a BJ? I bet you forgot all about kissing
