The Media pushes the envelope until it becomes engrained in our american culture -- Movies/TV/Radio/Internet are all useful instruments for that to happen. So much so, that, people get duped enough to willfully suppress their moral conscience . Yes...of course the Media is mostly responsible for societal ills ...that , plus our own desire to act on our feelings and urges instead of relying on a foundation of right from wrong ethics and good values. Encouraged entitlement attitudes and uncontrolled Hedonism go a long way at being the catalyst for americas favorite pastime vices . Yes, these things have been going on thruout history, but today more than ever, we have nothing that is sacred and with dignity anymore. Surely you agree to that dont you ?

The fact remains when you sleep with someone, you ARE essentially sleeping with every other bed partner theyve had. And...its not necessary for you to resort to snide comments of defamation with me .

While it is true that you do sleep with every partner they have slept with the fact still remains in two parts. If they don't know they have an illness (no signs / symptoms) how can you knock that person? And the second part of that still remains, you can have unprotected sex ONE time and still catch something and never show the symptoms.
Which is why I said you should get to know someone well and understand how they are, how they conduct themselves in ALL matters, how their health is and how serious they take it, etc.
Someone who is more responsible will be on top of their game, will be in good health, will have used the proper precautions, etc THUS not taking unnecessary risks and landing themselves in STD-land.
So while you get peeved because I made a derogatory comment towards you, I'm still right in my beliefs as you are in yours and THAT is what a PUBLIC forum is for.
It would seem though that I'm not the ONLY person annoyed by your combative comments though. Bottom line, USE a freakin' condom, period.

Yes, and video games make people violent.   
I'll never understand why folks like you can't give people credit for having minds of their own. If they're out having casual sex or cheating on their spouse, it couldn't possibly have been their idea. No, they must've gotten that idea from watching TV.

We knock them because they're irresponsible. Anyone who is sexually active and is not in a monagamous relationship should get tested regularly. Even if they're using protection they should still get tested. Folks ought to know by now that many illneses are asymptomatic. People who think that something has to be oozing out of their private parts in order for them to have an STD are truly ignorant.

True indeed. However, there are still responsible people that have had a condom break, or any other host of odd circumstance where my point can be applied too. I had this happen to a female friend of mine. She never had sex without a condom and she was on BC. Many years later whilst going through one of her annual physicals she popped positive for an STD. The condom had broken and she had no clue. It was devastating to her (as you may imagine) and this was NOT an irresponsible person.
She's a very high powered attorney, lived on her own in her own home, had a host of vehicles, traveled extensively, etc.. not the profile of someone you described above.
Here again, this is not a situation you can assume that if someone didn't have symptoms but is walking around with an STD just must be this horribly irresponsible person.

I've NEVER had a man ask me about my sexual past. Who does that? Heck, I don't even know the number, or if it's considered "high".
If I drop a number, and a guy considers it high .... What does that prove or matter?
I've never had an STD, and have never been unfaithful. Those are the only things I can see as mattering to someone in the present.
I would have no problem discussing specifics with my SO if it was relevant to something - but if he felt he had a right to the information that would be a completely different matter. Probably that's WHY I would be forthcoming... because he could care less.
No one is entitled to know about my past in any way, shape or form. Doesn't matter what it pertains to.... sharing who you are is a gift.
