Getting tested for STDs

[veggirl]

Jesus. She actually tells you I have had unprotected sex since I last got tested, and then is upset you want her to get tested again? :eek: This girl is completely self-absorbed and ignorant to her sexual health. Good for you for insisting on this. How old is this chick? Dang. I agree with Ninja, she just sounds dumb.

1. It totally doesn't matter what her friend thinks, unless she plans on joining in.

 

2. You're not being at all unreasonable in trying to make sex safer.

 

3. If she feels like health concerns are moral judgments, that's her problem.

 

"No such thing as safe sex"? riiiiight...sounds like something people say to justify silly thinking that leads to the spread of STDs.

I think NightSky's point is the risk of sexual contact can be mitigated but not eliminated. Essentially, you can have safer sex, but not sex without any risk at all.

 

Other good points made by that poster include using discretion to avoid making someone uncomfortable and the overall value of respect in civil dialogue.
