What are the chances of catching an STD during unprotected?

Yeah, that's not too bad is it? And that is from having sex with somebody who is infected with it in the first place.

I would love to engage in bareback with a stranger but anyone with OCD will know that it niggles away at the slightest doubt and can lead to depression from the thought that you might have something, which is why I am conflicted.

I used to think that you could only catch this stuff through blood, I didn't realise the fuckers could potentially swim up my cock (through her fluids) and that scared me.

So, you're reassured that they take their health seriously, but you still want them to blindly trust your word that you've never had unprotected sex, or engaged in any acts which could have made you a recipient of an STD or STI? Unless you live in a hermetically sealed bubble of a village where nobody has ever left and nobody ever visits, there is always the possibility of an infection or disease coming in. And once it's in, and given to the escort of your resident town, if she never leaves and continues to permit bareback, then the chances of catching and spreading something are increased exponentially.

As for how people ever have unprotected sex if everyone's so cautious. Believe it or not, a huge number of us meet our partners, date for a while, and then go get tested before we take that next step.

What are the odds of a man with a major STD coming to my particular neck of the woods, shagging a local escort, giving her the STD and then her passing it to me? I should imagine I have more chance of getting run over or involved in a car crash.

Also I am not really into the dating lark. Maybe if I got into it during my teens I would have gone for that, but I just like a good dirty shag with an unknown woman. The efficiency of the experience is unrivalled. I think if you are dating somebody and you get to the stage where you get tests done the excitement will have worn off.

But yeah, I am still somewhat confused although it is beginning to make a bit more sense, just the way people react to unprotected as if it is like plutonium is something strange which lead me to question my knowledge. So it appears my knowledge is sound and that people are just extra paranoid
