We were in the lifestyle for five six years, and then left for fifteen while the kids were growing up. In our first run, there were constant STD's passed aroound. I think we had several courses of antibiotics, and Eileen had to have several genital warts removed.

The advent of AIDS made us much more careful.

I think the people in this section that say the Lifestyle types have fewer STD's than their Vanilla Friends are just mistaken or whistling past the graveyard.

We would only play with partners we really new well over a long period without protection. The downside risk is just to great.
