-=GASP=- Sexual Intercourse?!?!
My apologies beforehand for the long rant.
Health and Wellness calls for me to answer the question below about STI's.
"List three ways to bring up the subject of STIs with a new partner. How would you ask whether he or she has been exposed to any STIs or engaged in any resky behaviors?"
Ok...I'm sorry,
Wait, no I'm not.
I get the impression that they're asking me how would I 'casually' slip into the subject about this?
Right, because this subject is so taboo that one needs to pussyfoot around the matter to get any answers.
No, if you're in a serious relationship with me. I'll take this SERIOUS subject and handle it like one. We'll sit down to have a talk. And I'll clearly ask you about it. I would hope that you would be honest with me. But I'm not an idiot and know people may lie about that one night they didn't use a condom.
Come on Carol Weideman (my PEGN lecture instructor/author [i believe] of this version), we're adults here. It's not like sex is always an uncomfortable subject to talk about. In fact. I just saw Great Sexpectations in YOUR lecture today. Those are the stories I can clearly identify as "uncomfortable topic" to some people.
The only way I can EVER see this happening in where I don't bluntly ask this. Is that it just bascially and spontaneously occurs. We'd be haveing a conversation, and it'd lead to various topics. Ex's possibly, in which she would then go into that she had gotten something from him. Or simply state she didn't use a condom.
I didn't answer this question how they want. I answered it like this in a summarized form that was less rude. And ran out of space. If I lose points because of this I'm going to be upset. If you don't agree with this. Well tough. Welcome to how I would act in a serious relationship. It doesn't mean I'm wrong. That's your opinion and it shouldn't affect your grading either as your job as an instructor.
My apologies for the rant. You guys know this doesn't happen very often at all. But this question really just pushed that button for me.
