Condoms?

silentdub · 04-11-2009, 10:04 PM

I was wondering how many of you use protection. I had someone close to me die of AIDS, he was straight, non drug user, so to say the least, it scares the crap out of me.

I use them whenever requested.

Isn't anyone scared about STDs?

There is maybe 100 or more threads asking the same questions as you have here.

You can get some good insight if you take a look at those threads from over the years.

When it comes to protection, that is going to be up to the people involved at the time.

Some here will tell you the truth, some won't. Some won't bother answering you at all since they don't plan on being with you or want to answer a question that has been answered 100's of times already.

You have to make your own choices in life that work for you. What any of the rest of us does makes no matter at all.

Good luck to you.

Sure. So, we take steps to mitigate the danger.

STDs are real. There's no questioning that. It's also true that STDs are just a small subset of the total set of diseases out there that humans can contract. You probably don't think twice about touching the handle of a grocery cart. Yet, that handle is one of the most unsanitary things we come in contact with.

STDs have a buggaboo about them that is almost as bad as mentioning the word "nuclear" or "radiation" in regards to anything. Every second of every day we're constantly exposed to radiation. But, say the word "radiation" and people get terrified. Similar with STDs. We're constantly exposed to all sorts of diseases on a regular basis. The reality is you only know a minuscule portion of the contact you have with disease.

Yes, playing with multiple partners increases your chances of contracting STDs. Yes, some STDs have very serious implications. My wife and I carefully weighed this when deciding to become swingers. We did research, finding that the prevalence of STDs among swingers was less than the general population. We take steps to mitigate risks, and play accordingly.
