yup... that isn't news to me and is very scary. You really have to do what you think is safe for you.
I remember supporting a member of my team who was in a female civil partnership and who found out her wife had been unfaithful by the fact that she now had herpes. It was a horrific time for her and although she no longer works for me I know that it has affected her whole life. The issues with tests are they only as good as the day they were taken. You still ultimately have to trust the person you are having sex with.
I do get tested every 3 months..... or more often if I have been 'exposed'.
That's a bit like saying walking on the pavement isn't 100% safe though as a vehicle 'could' mount it and squish you. I'm not condoning promiscuous unprotected sex but you can't go into every sexual encounter with the fear of god in you or it's gonna take away from all the fun. Be as safe as sensibly possible would be my thoughts.
And like Splendid, being involved in this scene I too get myself regularly tested.
I think herpes is the only incurable (although controlable and not life threatening) STD that can be caught from the sort of skin contact mentioned by your doctor friend. The good news is that you can only catch herpes from an infected person while they are having an attack, and if the affected area is on the labia or other exterior organs it should be visible to the naked eye. Herpes attacks mucus membrane areas, and so can affectt your lips, tongue, eyes, etc. I have yet to meet any swingers who want sex with the light off, so my advice is to take a look before you stick your penis or any part of your face in, also it is a good idea to look at the panties if you can for any traces of blood or discharge could make sex more of a risk.
Let's be careful out there! :0)
Its not rocket science...
If you intend to have multiple sexual partners make your self familiar with your local, in fact ANYG.U.M. (Genito-Urinary Medicine) Sexual Health clinic & get regular checkups! :thumbup:
Get something nasty then it's your responsibility to live with it sensibly & not expose others.
I like to think I play responsibly with others but I do have to accept the risks involved.
I know I am exposing myself to my partners sexual history, but it's a quantitative risk I choose to accept.
Any consequences will be unavoidable due to my choice.
Risks + Responsibility + Pleasure = Swinging! lol
What I find really strange is that in some porn films I have watched, the guy is wearing a condom.
Yet he then wanks off into her mouth and she then proceeds to swallow it. :shock:
Never understood that one at all.....do these people only think they can catch something through intercourse?
What does that make the geezer who is shagging that " slag "?
Curious to know that answer.
