But about your claim that there is no cure for "most" diseases, take it from someone who gets paid to know about such things: You are wrong.

There is no cure for the 3 H's: HIV/AIDS, herpes, and the various strains of HPV.

For everything else, there are antibiotics. Read up.

Also, for those who say they've had multiple partners but never had an STD. I adore you, but more than half of sexually active adults get some form of HPV in their lifetimes. It's just that of the 40+ strains, most cause no symptoms and clear the body in a couple of years, leaving their carriers unaware of ever having been infected. The HPV strains to worry about are the ones that cause genital warts, as those are also the ones associated with cervical cancer.
Pretty balanced analogy. Kudos.

True that you can have problems stepping outside in the world...but choosing a very dangerously inherent lifestyle where if youre lucky you only come away with a temporary STD and at worse a permanent one or even loosing your life over...seems like something that would cause great concern instead of just continuing to charge ahead making the excuse that 'you could hit by a car crossing the road' . I dont think theres any underlying message that its immoral...I think everyone knows full well that it is but simply dont care (or about the consequences) . What if there were a better way to live your life...would you want to know about it ?

I applaud your chutzpah, if not your logic...

Honestly, the only "safe sex" is NO sex. Even if you think you're in a monogamous relationship, you have no idea what your partner is doing all day/night unless you're right next to them at all times.

I met a woman once when I was volunteering at an HIV/AIDS education seminar and she got infected because her "monogamous" fiancee decided to have a bachelor party before the wedding and had sex with some of the females at the party. He became infected with HIV and passed it along to the woman. She was a virgin on her wedding night.

I would always take precautions. You have no clue who your partner has been with or what your partner is doing when he/she is not with you.

There's no such thing as safe sex. Just safer sex.

People call protected sex "safe sex" when really it's just safer compared to unprotected sex.

The only 100% safe, foolproof method is abstinence.

Any time you have sex, you're taking a risk. Therefore, there is no such thing as safe sex.

There are no guarantees in life but there are antibiotics and there are abortions in most countries, you know, for those little "oopsie" babies.
You have kids. Apparently they were planned.

But even if you didn't want kids, it might of happened anyway.

I find it laughable when people with kids try to prove a point about sex to people that don't want kids.

What does wanting kids or having kids have anything to do with proving a point about children? Your logic eludes me.

And damn right my kids were planned. If I had an unwanted pregnancy I would have had an abortion.

Stay a virgin city-data91 and the world will thank you.
