  • Our contraceptive technology is good enough to make the risk of unwanted pregnancy virtually negligible. People just have to actually USE them. If you're currently taking antibiotics, add a backup (like condoms for example).

    As for STDs: They're called condoms. And the various rationales for not using them are just asinine.

    • Condoms don't prevent all STD's. You can contract STD's like herpes from kissing and oral sex

    • @Brainsbeforebeauty thanks

    • @Warmapplecrumble That's the whole problem with this casual sex. Even with condom, if you're kissing multiple people or performing oral sex with multiple people and so are they. That's some scary shit. I ain't kissing anyone I don't know where their mouth all been and I sure don't putting no fuck in my mouth that been in someone else's pussy a couple days before, period! And HPV is another STD people can have and not even realize they have, so someone could tell you they have no STD'S and not necessarily be lying ass much as not aware. We it it's better to save it for a monogamous long term relationship with a trustworthy partner

  • I'm straight and have engaged in casual sex more than committed relationships over the years bareback. Majority of the time I've known the woman's most recent STI check-up status before sleeping together and other times taken risks by simply building a level of trust with a woman without either or one of us being tested recently beforehand.

    I'm not overly concerned about pregnancy as half of the women were on birth control and the other half were not so relied on the pull-out method to avoid pregnancy.

  • My fear is pregnancy and STD ´s even if Iim attracted to the guy but we are not in a relationship and we know each other for sometime now. That is what is hapening to me right now and the guy Im attracted very much to got upset because I was stalling too lonmg to have sex with him. He is similar in my age

    • Not really.. condom is the solution for all

  • I don't really care about pregnancy. I wear condoms and I also bring Plan B just in case. I'm always prepared. However, I also don't engage in casual sex. When I talk to people, they say, "Since I wore a condom, I'm safe from STDs." That's false. Even with a condom, there's 3 STDs you can STILL get:

    -Herpes
    -Syphyillis
    -HPV

    Herpes is actually the easiest to get. Just a little skin to skin contact with someone who is infected, and you got it too! When you have sex, the shaft of your penis is covered, but your ball sack isn't... so when that's rubbing up against the vagina during sex, herpes can be passed. Many people don't seem to know that.

    That is how my best friend got herpes. He was with a girl who gave him a blow job (with no condom) and he had sex with her (with a condom). However, he got HSV2, which is herpes of the genitals, so he more than likely got it through sex and not the blow job.

    • Thank you

  • Duh! But I voted A, because pregnancy and STDs are just part of the reason.

    • 🤔🤔🤔

    • @Warmapplecrumble What?

    • Nothing

  • No, not really. I take measures to protect myself

  • The fear of STD's and pregnancy does somewhat scare me from having casual sex. Mostly pregnancy if the girl isn't on birth control and the condom breaks.

  • I feel confident enough to protect myself from stds. As for pregnancy if it happens it happens.

  • I always wear a condom, no glove, no love.

  • What is casual sex? I mean in the beginning wether is "casual" or "orchestrated" the person with the std has to let you know or you have to ask. Ironically it always feels casual at first in the sense it's new and awkward. It's not till round 3 or 4 any true erotica pleasure is achieved. So I think the question should be Do you have the will power to ask another person regardless, And would you believe them.

  • A lifetime of fearing sex is the worst STD of all

  • Its always a risk even with protection... So hard to choose in the heat of the moment, if you know what I mean...😍

  • It has before one night I could have but went home instead

  • Not really, I do what I want.

  • Yes. Unless I use protection I'm never gonna engage in casual sex until I'm ready enough.

  • I don't fear pregnancy but don't have sex in casual form.

  • Not really I can control my sex drive, but if we were in a relationship that's different

  • If stds or pregnancy were not an issue than yeah sure

  • I would use protection and take care of things like that...

  • Yeah 8
