aside from the advice already given, i would suggest that everyone hobbying familiarize themselves with the symptoms of STD's. i.e what do they look like?
keep in mind, it is not foolproof plan, as sometimes people don't have symptoms,
this is why condoms are neccessary. (and those of you engaging in BBFS, who think sharing test results make you safe, HIV takes months to show up in a test. there is no safe BBFS, end of story)
once you have weighed the risks and educated yourself before your date, your first line of defense, next to condoms, is your ability to examine things
first rule of thumb: sex in the dark is not advised lol.
does the person look healthy?
gonorrhea has pussy discharge. and a smell is likely too.
warts are small, cauliflower like bumps. they can be singular or in a small cluster.
typically within the first few weeks, syphallis will create a small (or not so small) lesion.
as a professional, i have done my homework. which has meant looking at countless pictures of infections.
as a hobbiest, especially those that are seeing newbie and high volume escorts, i would advise the same.
