Yes, but I was referring to an isolated event. Just because the sex is casual does not increase the risk over a monogamous couple.
And yes, all protection isn't 100% but I for one, get regular check ups and take care of myself far better than my friends who are in long term relationships - one of whom caught chlamidyia from her partner, didn't get checked up for a year and is now infertile.
Eugh. I just can't seem to win on this thread. I am perfectly safe, don't engage in activities with people in relationships, all of whom are consenting adults...
And yet I'm still treated like a STI-infected whore who gives away my body for free.
I think this, not casual sex as a whole, is the problem.
Society is bullshit. why should anyone even care what I do in my own bed, as long as I'm not hurting anyone?
I think the overly judgemental should be ashamed of themselves too, not just the whores of Babylon such as myself.
I don't care whether people on this thread are virgins or multiple lover porn stars, as long as they are keeping themselves and others safe.
Surely I should expect the same courtesy?
Do unto others, etc.
fresia. I wrote a whole long, thorough, reasoned arguement, but ALL lost it and now I have to go off my break.
The key points are thus
1) I was talking about an isolated event. You cannot predict that if a person engages in it once, they will so again, due to a tainting of their character or change in their view to sexual intercourse. Yes, I have engaged in casual sex, but I also prefer sex within a relationship.
2) Obviously all contraceptives aren't 100% safe, but its the same for monogamous couples. I for one get frequent check ups and take better care of myself than others - including my friend who contracted chlamidia from her partner and is now infertile due to not getting checked up.
3) I'm getting pretty sick of this thread to be fair, there seems no way to win. I for one, don't judge others for their sexual practices, be they gay, straight, sado/mas, virginal or into dressing up, as long as they keep themselves and others safe. Surely I should be extended the same courtesy? Do unto others etc.
Sometimes I think that they overtly critical should be just as ashamed of themselves as the whores of Babylon like me they try to convert - not a specific point to any one poster, but musing in general.
I for one have nothing to be ashamed about. I have a clean bill of health and an overall healthy life style.
**** ******* fresia ALonelyLife.
I've written two replies and they've both been lost.
Will reply later. At work.
