Do you require it of your play partners?
No. But safer sex requirements are always discussed, and testing is often brought up at that time. But I've not "required" proof of testing, and I don't know I ever would, mostly because it's outdated from the get-go and not 100% accurate due to incubation periods. If I felt uncomfortable about STDs with that person(s), I'd simply pass.

If a play partner asked you to produce a test would you do so?
Hmmmm. Tough one, since it's not happened.

As odd as it may sound, based on recent conversations and events, it would not be offensive to me if I were asked by a regular playmate. It may depend on the context... perhaps there's a desire to go bareback, etc. I do test regularly through the local clinic and by default through platelet donations and as it is, I do disclose results to one person I see regularly (although I've not whipped out the paperwork).

I don't know if I'd be so willing with a stranger.

Go figure.
