Pledging Abstinence and STDs

[Stoo]

In the news these past few days, there has been an item discussing how teens who pledge to abstain from sex until marriage eventually failed at the pledge and had a much higher rate of stds and pregnancy. The theory is that, since they weren't planning on having sex, they either skipped sex ed or ignored the details.

This group... we Terbites... are pretty much the oosite of these kids... in that we have pledged to have as much sex with as many people as possible.

I am interested in knowing about std levels in this group. I think it would be interesting to compare the rate to the general population as well as this gang of junior puritans.

Remember, your answer is anonymous!

OK, who thinks it went away all by itself???

Never mind this forum, but how many of us (hobbyists and sps) tell the whole truth to blood services when we make a donation? And they ask the same questions in so many ways. Have you paid for sex? Have you been paid for sex? Have you had sex for drugs? Have you sold drugs fo sex? Have you slept with a monkey from Haiti? Who among us can honestly answer no to all of these? Hopefully most of us can say no to the drug questions and all of us can say no to the monkey.

Goldenboy, I guess this is what I was trying to get a handle on. I must confess, that the unofficial, unscientific results so far aren't too inspiring. It would be interesting to know if those who caught something, how they caught it.... and from what "type" of provider...

It's a touchy subject for sure, but I would hope folks might be honest here, amoungst 'like-minded' people. I would hope that any of us involved in this hobby are getting tested regularly.
