I love being monogamous...

[debgeisler]

...because my monogamy is with the man I love best. :-) (As I said to my friend cogitationitis at dinner last night, "It means never having to worry about calling someone by the wrong name in the morning.")

But it's nice to know that my understanding of what constitutes "safe sex" is at the 100% level...at least based on this test.

You are 100% likely to keep your genitals intact.

So this was as much about information as it was testing knowledge. I just felt the current upswing in STD transmission was a tad scary & wanted to remind people of all the stuff that's out there. Testing is cheap or even free in most cities. Get tested for EVERYTHING even if you think you are clean, you'd be surprised how many people have infections and don't even know it (like 80% of genital herpes carriers). Does that make them bad people? Of course not, if you haven't been tested it could even be you. If you find you do have something, it's not the end of the world, get treated and carrry on with your life, If you don't, realize it just takes one time, so be careful, and please, be honest with your partners. Lastly, remember you can pass several std's through oral sex, so don't think of that as completely "safe" against anything but pregnancy. For more information you can read up at the CDC http://www.cdc.gov/nchstp/dstd/disease_info.htm To find free testing in your area, Planned Parenthood is the most common provider but typically does not test for herpes or hepatitis: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/ Oh, and if you enjoyed the test and/or learned something of use, a positive rating will help more people find this page and hopefully be more aware, so please rate it well if you found it informative and useful. Lastly, due to the number of requests for an answer key, I will be posting the answers shortly. Check back soon. Have fun out there and play safe!

Heh...I sometimes call my husband by the names of platonic male friends. I suspect that, if I were sleeping with them, I'd have a reason to be more careful to avoid doing so. :)
