hi slevin,

thanks for the reply.

we have been monogamous since we got together (yes, i completely trust her)
and that was over 7 years ago.

we have both had blood tests since then, but i do have to admit that we didnt get tested specifically for STD's.

thanks for bringing up a great point!
i hadnt really thought about this, but i just assumed (i know!LOL) that when you get a blood test requested by a doctor, they would let you know if you had HIV, or something else.

also, i will admit my nievete' in thinking that since neither of us has shown any symptoms of any kind, up or down, and that neither of us EVER gets cold sores, that we were safe. (i inspect that area VERY closely LOL!)

if anyone wants to enlighten me, please do so!
i will not be offended by your laughter at my ignorance.

to answer your other question; its the fact that you can get herpes by kissing.
i figure, if my wife does meet a girl that she wants to bring home, that they would probably kiss before things got too hot and heavy.

as for other dudes, i will admit to being too much of an alpha male. i dont need help from anyone, and since she doesnt want any other man, that seems to work out just fine.
(yes, i have asked her if she would want that, and yes i believe her when she says that she doesnt want any part of that. we have very good communication)


i welcome all insights!
i am beginning to realize just how much of a newbie i really am!
