do you have a condom vending machine in your home?

[Leto729]

I still have condoms in a box.

dodgy, though.  it's not just pregnancy you have to worry about...

 

Yes, but if you're a guy and of the mindset that life isn't worth living without sex, you will prioritize sex over your physical health.

I know I am clean and I wouldn't get with a girl who I didn't feel was clean as well. It's not like I live life on the edge or anything. I trust myself and my judgment in women.

Yes, because someone's STD status is a question of character.  You'd certainly know if a woman was 'the type to have an STD.'

  I'm sorry, Lucifer.  I think it's a poor decision to be as unsafe as trigger is saying he prefers to be, but I have also seen that guys care a LOT less about getting (or spreading) STDs than women do; it seems damn near impossible to make them care unless sex is contingent on safety.

I'm confused! I am not unsafe in my sexual practices. In all likelihood, if I was dating some girl I didn't know very well, I'd probably wait a long time, until I did or was committed anyway. But I've always ended up with virgins or girls I knew very well and intimately over a long time. Best friends with benefits kind of deals. Condoms are so impersonal. If I went around sleeping with strangers, then I would certainly wear one. I don't put myself at risk. You don't have to wear condoms to minimize the risk.

All right, all right, fair enough.  Although knowing someone a long time doesn't guarantee knowing their STD status.

I'm not disagreeing with that, as technically you are right. Without a test, you can never be 100% sure.

K.  I will then likewise condeed that if you have known someone well for a long time and know their sexual history, you at least have more information about their likely STD status and are therefore safer than riding a stranger bareback.

So gingerly, yet eloquently put!

[Lucifer]

i am actually terribly proud of myself that many years ago, just before a crucial moment, i announced to a reluctant condomite that he could either use the condom, or use the oblong thing in the wall over there (pointing at the door).

the one occasion where i didn't think of it a couple of hours later.   :lol:  it's all been downhill in the repartee stakes since then, sigh...

Sorry, but that's just plain stupid. Who you "didn't feel was clean as well"?

Are you on the Spectrum, Trigger? How far will you trust your instincts? And if you are not, the same question all over again.

I have AS! Seeing as how I have never pursued a woman, and always ignored the one sthat pursued me, I've never been in the position to question my instincts. If I was out there dating different women, and sleeping around, then I would definitely wear a condom. I am just saying that for me, and my lifestyle and experience, I don't need them and don't wear them. Every girl I have slept with, except one, I have known a long time, and well enough, to feel confident. Plus, I've been tested. So I know I am clean.
