What is better than Sex?

[PanzerJaeger]

Yes, and the odds of catching herpes is about the same as getting cancer from my cell phone, I'd think....

Can you explain that a bit? IIRC, around 20% of the population in your average Western nation has genital herpes. It only gets worse as living standards go down...

I heard 'Deep Horizon' was actually Devastation Dave being catch in the act.

I go for what I know about my relatively sexually active friends and fellow students. Never heard of anyone catching anything more serious than Chlamydia. Don't get fixated on the numbers, ask around instead....

EDIT: oh, and just for the record, I've never had any STD's either....

With that careless attitude,sooner or later you might catch one.

What careless attitude? Condoms are 100% effective.

EDIT: but yeah, there's a chance of course, but not one I worry about, as the benefits outnumbers that one extremely limited drawback. Nor should anyone else, really. Just rubber up and off you go, and get yourself checked out after each new encounter....

First off, nothing is 100% effective except abstinence.
Secondly, unless you have very open friends if they did get anything unpleasant that required long term treatment are they going to announce it to everyone?

Unless you've had a GUM clinic appointment recently and haven't slept with anyone since your last one you could but be unaware of it.

Allright then, let's make that 99.99999...

My friends are rather open.... But anyway, word gets around. I probably don't know every instance, but I certainly know of quite a few people who have had clamydhia.

I check myself after every new encounter. I'm clean. Peeing in a cup takes 20 min max and it's free, there's absolutely no reason NOT to do it.

[Beskar]

Condoms usually don't stop you getting herpes either, since they are on the groin area, and the condom only covers Mr. Peepee.

Only way not to get Herpes is if the sores are regressed. To see this, hope they are clean shaven, so you can easily check.

never liked GUM clinic as an acronym, i always preferred Gastrourinary And Sexual Health clinic.

[rory_20_uk]

Genitourinary.

I like "the clap clinic" or "the pox doctor".

Yes, I get satisfaction about watching my patients squirm - what of it?
