    Am I the only person who is more deathly afraid of a life long STD that could fucking kill me than an unplanned pregnancy?

    I dont care which one of us got the snip, unless I’m sure I’m the only dude you’re banging I’m bagging the fuck up until I see some test results which I’ll be happy to get and provide in kind.

      Get the 3 HPV vaccines, the 3 Hep A/B vaccines, and start truvada (or the dirt cheap generic brands).

      And learn about the signs of syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. And just get anti-biotics if you catch them.

      And learn to watch out for Herpes sores in a partner. (Not deadly but obviously you don’t want Herpes)

      There, you’ve mitigated like 99% of the threat. You could be an absolute horndog or slut and you’re more likely to die in a car accident than because of an STI in the US at least.

      I really can’t think of an STI that would kill you these days. Am I missing one?

      Yay condoms!

        In a first world country with access to excellent medical care, no underlying conditions in an otherwise healthy person you’re probably going to be fine.

        Thats not to say it might not be a significant contributor to what does get you.

          What might be a significant contributor to what gets you? Like what STI(s) are you thinking about?

            I mean anything from HPV to HIV can still kill you directly even with access to the best health care on the planet.

      Honestly why I downvoted OP. They shouldn’t be at the point of having this pissing-match without having used condoms together already, and cumming-inside the vagina isn’t exactly required for intimacy even then.

      OPs characters lack imagination, and are catering to an audience that shouldn’t be encouraged into maintaining such a narrow way of thought.

      I’d assume because many people in these discussions are married… in which case yeah getting an STD would be the booger on top of the shit sundae. But yeah the test results only have to be checked overall at the start of the long term relationship… at least assuming you can trust your partner… while pregnancy is something you’ve got to be alert to in the entirety of a relationship.

        If your married and kids are a forever no then dude should get the snip. Simple. I’m getting one soonish and if I ever find myself single again I’ll still be wearing rubbers unless Ive had the chat.
