I was chatting with a doctor at a party, talking about SH. He has terrified me about std's and sti's.
I was under the impression that if you wear a condom, then it was all systems go, safe sex ahoy! But apparently, herpes transmits from the labia, so even witha condom, you can get infected! that and there is no cure for herpes and it goes and lives in the nerve cells.
That really freaked me out. A lifelong condition that you can get even if you have safe sex.
I *could* have dealt with that. meet up with someone you like, and stick to licking and kissing till the tests come back, but he shot me down again! A bunch of STDs *DO* transfer by oral to genital!
So basically his advice was get tested before every new partner you meet up with. And that is clearly a bit of a passion-killer. Unless you convince everyone to bring their test results to every meet, munch and social.
Anyway, in conclusion that scared the hell out of me. I still *want* sex in the same capacity that I used to but I know now that I am going to have to ask every potential partner to bring a brand new test sad
It just generally put me in a bad mood. lol.
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.

Agree with all of that :thumbup:
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)

You cant catch anything from a keyboard wink

OHHH how wrong this is. Keyboards are number 2 in the list of the most germ ridden household and office items.
I dont find the original topic that scary. Like people have said theres risk in life its that simple. There is also thrush as well I suppose. Thats incurable as far as I know it just lies dormant until you are vulnerable enough for it to take hold again.

what if they arent wearing any?
Check the kneecaps for stains! Lol
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:

sure red panther, clearly regular checkups are the way to go, but once you have caught something nasty, no number of checkups is going to cure you. sad
I guess you guys are less freaked out by this because you have been living the lifestyle and havent gotten sick. which is fair enough. Clearly you are doing something right smile
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?

going back to anoushes original post, it sounds like hes suggesting swinging is a high risk activity. when in fact you are more likely to catch something from some slag in a nightclub ona friday night than a greedy girl in a swingers club*

So you r a slag now if you go a nite club n shag a geezer on a friday nite boink
Go wipe your mouth brucie your dribbling your own cum biggrin
What does that make the geezer who is shagging that " slag "?
Curious to know that answer.
