Safer Sex ... anonymous October 5 2010, 15:38:35 UTC

To be honest I've never really looked too closely into all the different ways that safe/er sex could be practiced ... My main thought has always been to avoid pregnancy counting on those measures (condoms) to prevent any other problems. This question, however, brings up some very interesting ideas. Ones that I will have to discuss with my primary as well as with any other partners that I may or may not have in the future. While I've known those who use the fingers crossed method of safe sex (Crosses fingers and hopes that this partner is safe) I know that even in a so called monogamous relationship there are still STI risks. (The one and only bout I've ever had with one was from my, now, ex wife)

If the point of a barrier method of prevention of fluid transfer is what is deemed to be THE way to prevent STIs why are barriers not used during ALL times that fluids might be exchanged (ie. kissing, and as mentioned above oral)

To me I guess, that prevention involves both myself and my partners being tested regularly and being open about who, and what has been done.

I would find it difficult to conduct a romance with a condom in my mouth for kissing. How about the rest of you readers?
