Good to see some familiar names still hanging around in here too. I'm going to take it easy and start with a simple mug of tea this morning!

Where to start...
I've still not caught up after being away for a while, so I may have to risk getting some splinters and fence-sit for a while. I promise I'll come down once I can make a more informed choice.
(Abi would probably be a hot contender for my list though... ;) )

Folks use sexual health clinics "just to make sure I'm OK" - which is wholly wrong. If you think you need to be checked, then there's every possibility that you're NOT "OK."
Even regular check-ups are NO substitute for safe practice in the first place. By the time you have the check up then it's either already happened or it hasn'.
Too often I find that the general attitude to risk-taking can be all arse about face when it comes to understanding just exactly what the risks are.

Before I got all gothy as a teenager I was a ...... wait for it ... Duran Duran and a Howard Jones fan !!!!!
LOL! Nope, you don't get away THAT easily...!! :twisted: :P
This definitely dates you though!
I used to take the piss out of the girlies with the Duran Duran pencil cases a stickers all over their exercise books when I was at school - which i guess dates me too...!

Targaid, you make some valid points but your conclusions are all wrong. There are NO grey areas - all of these are infection risks. Once you are infected, it's not a matter of "grey areas" it suddenly becomes VERY black and white!
No. There is ALWAYS a point to it. Group sex may indeed present issues over and above one-on-one action but the risks are also that much greater: it only takes one infected individual in the group and, potentially, ALL those involved (and their current partners (LTR or not!) or subsequent partners) are at risk. Frankly, that's just IRRESPONSIBLE.
Yes, I agree, there are plenty more vectors for STDs than just penetrative intercourse. All this means is that ALL of the routes you mention are potential sources of infection - but is that a reason to say "Ah, fuck it - if that's the case then it doesn't matter"...?!
This is not, by the way, an HIV diatribe - yes, it's not something you'd want to catch, but it's not the only nasty out there. Hepatitis B virus, for example, is can be equally lethal and is a much more resiliant organism. To simply say "ah, well, I can't use protection in all eventualities 'cos it's too much hassle, therefore I won't bother at all" is tantamount to playing Russian roulette.
Whilst I prefer to use a prophylactic outside my LTR I am not convinced that there is a point to it

Special note to anyone playing away (male or female) without protection, you are juggling not only with your life but your partners... if that does not make you cover up then you dont deserve a relationship... Sorry but that the real bug bear with me, juggle with your life, heck its yours... just dont risk anyone else in the process.
Nicely put, my man, nicely put.
Bustermarine, get your act together man. The bottom line about all this is that it only takes things to go wrong ONCE and your life is changed forever. Don't risk fucking it up - for you or anyone else!
And, yes, it really is that simple.
