I realize there was a thread on this board that got off-track so I thought it would be better to start a fresh one. The subject concerns intercourse, not bj's. For the life of me, I simply cannot understand why anyone would want to dispense with a condom when it comes to intercourse these days. It simply makes no sense. And I'm not just talking with SP's. I mean with practically anyone. I don't even care if you've been seeing someone for a year and have both tested negative for HIV and other STD's. Can you really trust someone with your life? Do you even want to? I mean, you may say you'll be faithful and really mean it, but who says you or your better half won't go out one night, maybe have a little bit much to drink, meet someone fascinating and, against your better judgement, you make a big mistake? Then you come home and maybe give something to your partner? I agree chances of this may be small, but why risk it? I mean you've got a lot to lose with catching something deadly and very little, if anything, to gain. What, a little extra sensation? Personally, I've not had bare-back sex in over 10 years and I've had some wonderfully pleasurable sex with a condom that there doesn't seem to be really much difference in feeling with or without the condom. You might feel different about that point, but really, the bottom line is: For a measly little extra sensation, is it really worth the risk?.....
