I also haven't had sex with many different women. I think my lifetime total is less than 15. I don't really see sex as a competition and I don't see women as a conquest or a tally. For me, I need sex to mean something. I have sex with the women I care deeply for. To me, its the ultimate act of sharing and there is nothing more personal between to people. I also know that there are few that think like I do. I also know that even when there are those that share my beliefs, they may not have had those beliefs for very long. I understand that I am not going to find a 57 year old virgin and I don't expect to find a woman that hasn't had a few partners in her lifetime. But, at 57 I do expect her to be able to talk about and participate in interactions like an adult. You also need to remember that there are vindictive, twisted people out there that will knowingly give you an STD. While that one person you are having sex with may not be one of those, you never know if she experienced one of those before she met you and just ashamed to tell you. I totally agree...It's not a competition...far from. All in all, sex is not something that can be filled up as eating food. No matter how many you're having sex with, even after a pause of 10 years or having sex with throughout one's life will satisfy you without it being the right one or the perfect match. (If you understand what I mean.) For some people it is only a matter of being with as many as possible... The insecure ones. And for the secure ones, that rests in themselves, it's not that big of an urgent craving or topic in their life. |

A question for riverspirit: How do you insert pictures in your posts, please? (I know it's way off topic and it'll probably be moved.) Check the "Help" forum and read the section on BBCodes... it will tell you how and you can practice in that forum, as well as get help if needed.

Its an intimate act and im a rather passionate person in most everything i do, wheather its rock hunting, metal detecting, fishing, watch and being in nature, and yes, even love making... |

I was married for 25 years. For 24.5 of those years I didn't think about STDs because I didn't mess around on my X. During that half year while I was married but considering the divorce I started to panic because I had no idea who or how many people she had sex with to get her drugs? She was a compulsive liar too. I read the info on STDs and went and got tested.
Frankly, I was scared shidless about it. I imagined that I would never be able to love a woman ever again because I couldn't bring myself to make someone I love sick. Then I met a rebound woman that I thought I loved online and we moved in together. I got my test results out and saw they were negative so we started a sexual relationship together. A year and two months later, she turned out to be a compulsive liar as well. Likewise another woman I met online and had an intimate sexual relationship with that lasted 8 months turned out to be a compulsive liar as well. I met two other women online that used sex to try to win me. Both were shallow and fake. Three other women I met online were not intimate and they were short trial periods to see if they were true and honest before I committed myself to them. One which I only slightly kissed but nothing more (at her request). For the last two years, nothing, nada, zip. My last test set came back negative in January. If I never have sex again, I will continue to get tested for another 8 years, just to be sure. If I do have sex again, I will have to reset the clock. Young people don't think like this. Young people now, grew up in a world of instant gratification. Most can't think 10 years into the future. They want what they want right now. I'm not saying to not have sex, I'm saying if you do have sex, be responsible and considerate to your partners enough to at least get tested on a regular basis. And, If you do come out positive, be responsible enough to not infect other people with your disease. |

I'm not trying to scare anyone but if you're not the least bit concerned about it, you're a deluded disrespectful fool. WOW That chart is really something else! Terrible! It's not just young people having sex. Many older people do, when they can find someone who will. |

Without regard to the number of sexual
partners a person has been with. All it takes to become infected, is one. As a poster pointed out on page 1, many STDs have no symptoms. If a person is sexually active, it doesn't hurt to be tested. If a potential partner is too proud, or otherwise refuses to get tested. Run! Someone posted a graph, showing infection rates from 2005/2006?. That's scary enough. The rates from 2012 - 2017, are much scarier. |

Hep C is not a STD per se, it's transmitted by blood transfer, transmitted by open sores. EVERY STD will manifest itself in one way or another. You'll know you got something.

Syphilis can be asymptomatic for at least a year They're bacterial infections, how can they not know something going on down there? testing too soon will show false negatives The most common way to get false negative chlamydia and gonorrhea tests would be from testing too soon after you had sex or by urinating too soon if testing with the urine test. With gonorrhea, most results are accurate after 7 days. With chlamydia, most results are accurate after 2 weeks but it can take up to 6 weeks. |

With all the ickiness that can be transmitted through sexual contact... I require testing of all new partners. Do you, as policy, require new potential sex partners, to undergo full STD testing, along with followup testing for herpes and HIV? Not only my partners but also my neighbors. I don't want any of that crap hopping the fence into my yard. |

Count me as Naive' as I had sex with only two men in my life - both my husbands #1) and #2. However, as second marriage was deteriorating second husband said at the dinner table "Oh, maybe I should mention I had sex last week with a woman who has hepatitis C" My reply was "thank you for telling me" although my heart almost stopped. a month later I was tested and no Hep C... I never had sex with him again, he was packing his bags to leave. That was several years ago, and recently told Doctor the next time I get a blood test for anything, I want another hep C test. I trusted the man until it proved otherwise. so particularly for young active "kids" 14 to 65 - be careful and get tested.
