Well if you're gonna offer msn you should leave the address

EDIT: Yeah speaking of studying I'm gonna have to go be in the books for a while in the coming weeks myself.

EDIT: I resent the fact that you call it a one-sided conversation when you haven't asked a question.

EDIT: Yeah, so if birth control works most of the time and in general, what are your rules?

If one is in a closed relationship and each member trusts each other to be exclusive partners, I don't see how one would be worried about infections (after initially knowing that the other is clean of course). In this case I would say that the chance of infection would be very low. Pregnancy on the other hand can always occur, even if measures are taken. Precautions can me taken that make these chances very low though of course.

In regards to pregnancy, condoms make me nervous because they break or can leak. Not to mention they don't feel that great.

When it comes to sti's I don't really think I would feel comfortable doing someone who has multiple partners at the same time since love juices still get all over even if you are wearing a condom.

You know what's scary, I heard that STI can live dormant in someone for like 6 months or some shit. So suppose you just entered a new closed relationship with someone and they had been ****ing someone prior. Now that you guys are together they ended it with that other person and don't have symptoms of an STI but then a few weeks or months later... wtf mang .

EDIT: But yeah like you said, the chance of infection is very low.

Bareback **** sex with a long term monogamous partner, yay or nay?

If I had to picture myself in a monogamous relationship (though I can't fathom ****ing one person for the rest of my life) I would say yay. Maybe I can pull this off with a long term primary partner in a polyamorous or swinging relationships but I still get a jealous and hurt twitch when I imagine certain scenarios.

Why does that surprise you? There are millions of people who have STI's and exhibit no symptoms of it. It's a known fact. You can't tell if someone has an STI by just looking at them (obviously). The only way to know is to get tested. I thought you knew that and, besides pregnancy, was the reason for your concern—you didn't know if your partner had contracted STI's.

I know Chlamydia doesn't show any symptoms at all for ~50%-75% of people infected with it, and almost everyone that is sexually active will get infected with HPV at some point but most never know because only like 2 of the hundreds of possible strains have a realistic chance of causing symptoms.
