Why don't some people value their sexual health? I don't get it. I like when I meet a woman who is firm about using and asking her partner to share in birth control, expects both parties to be tested if they have been sexually active and just all around seems to care about her body and having the self respect and confidence to expect that from a partner. What is so hard about that for both men and women to do? It's no different than watching what you eat, not smoking, exercising and not drinking excessively.

Laziness, nievity, I dunno. People do SO many destructive things to themselves. Why would this be any different? Maybe especially sex, since if someone is on the spur of the moment and don't have the protections handy, they let their passion go anyway.

When you have HIV,herpes,HPV and hepatitis as possibilities, shouldn't that be enough incentive to be carefull? I guess not for some who want to roll the dice.

What gets me is when I meet a single woman (not or never married) with a young child and she says she has always practiced safe sex.. Then I ask where did the kid come from? That's when the argument starts.. Women should ask the same question to men with kids and unmarried..

I thought Dan Savage had an interesting take on his show Savage U.

He stated that "an unplanned pregnancy is the most consequential (life-changing) STD one can contract".

Sexual health is valued by people who actually value-sex. Not people who indiscriminately sleep around. I doubt it's an under-glass issue. The folks who aren't careful about their sexuality are often not thoughtful about other areas of their or others' lives.
Self-respect is harder and harder to see in people.

I see this a lot. Even worse when there are 2 kids from 2 different dads and they claim this.

I'm a woman BTW - but I see it in my town all the time. My younger brother has dated a few of them.

I wonder if there is a correlation between multiple baby daddys and STD? It is a major turn off to me. I would probably say I would never date a woman who fits that profile, but you know the saying "never say never". While most of the people I associate with are no where close to puritans none have the multiple baby daddy thing going on.
