Sure its easy to get checked out..but it has to be done on a reguar basis and why take the chance? You said NOBODY HERE thinks that unprotected sex is safer than using a condom? Have you not read the entire thread? Or just my post? Yes there ARE some that do believe that..you yourself just asked why not have unprotected sex..was that a contradiction or just ignorance?
Yes, if someone knows they have an STD it would be incredibly stupid to have unprotected sex. It would be irresponsible on their behalf, and for all they know they could be exposing themselves to more diseases. I get that.

I was talking about committed, monogamous relationships, where both partners know they are clean. If neither partner is sleeping with other people, then STD's couldn't be introduced, and they wouldn't need to be checked regularly. Therefore, if those people want to have unprotected sex, I don't understand why they shouldn't. Please explain to me how you think there could be a risk involved there.

I said that nobody here thinks unprotected sex is safer than using a condom because I think you've misinterpreted their posts as you did mine. It's blatently obvious that unprotected sex is never safer than using a condom, but in the example I gave I think it would be just as safe because I don't think there would be a risk involved at all.

Finally, yes I have read the whole thread, with increasing levels of frustration. I really, truly, honestly don't understand why you can't concede that unprotected sex between monogamous, clean partners is not going to be a risk to them. From where would either one catch an STD?
