Hi, Quin!

First, let us compliment you on your posts and your wisdom. Your contributions to this forum are excellent and informative. You are absolutely right on this subject. But let us clarify...

We didn't say we don't use condoms. We said we would never trust condoms to keep us safe from STD's. Simply put, we would not have sex with someone who we think would constitute a "risk." To us, that would mean someone who has sex with strangers, has been active in the club scene, or someone, particularly a bi man, who has had experience with the homosexual community. That is not because we think gays are bad people; it's just unfortunate for them that an SAS steward brought AIDs to the USA and delivered it to the gay community.

We've had experiences with five couples in our 22 years together. All of them had been married and faithful for a minimum of ten years and a maximum of twenty-eight years. We knew all of them as friends long before we began having sex. Three became on-going relationships for several years and two did not. We always began the relationships using condoms but stopped later when all felt they were unneeded. We haven't played in over three years and won't unless and until we find another couple we consider safe. And yes, an STD test for all four would not be inappropriate.

We don't think we're scary. We think we are far safer than y'all who go to swing clubs and fuck strangers using condoms. To us, that is far scarier than anything we've ever done. Of course, you may be right and we may be wrong. That's why it is only right that each couple make their own decision on how to have "safe sex."

BTW, our flippant remark about Penn State Football meant, "You seem to be a nice guy. We can't be sexual friends. Maybe the love of football could be a common ground for friendship." Or let's just keep reading each others' posts.

Thanks for your fine contributions. We always enjoy your posts.
