Even worth worrying about STDs?

The only one I worry about is herpes. I did reject one girl in the heat of the moment when I saw (and later confirmed on google) some rather odd looking blisters on her.

I noped the fuck out of there instantly, amidst a lot of angry shouting.

Suffice to say, I have two plates at the moment and pretty much stick to them.

I would say if you're worried, go get tested first and foremost. Second, bring condoms. Third, make sure you know how to put a condom on! Most "accidents" are because people still don't know how to put a condom on! So much for sex ed. And fourth, if in doubt, don't.

Get to the stage where you have a couple of regulars. Even better if they don't play around too.

Even worth worrying about STDs?

Yes

i think that it is rational to be worried about STD's a little bit. During my college years, I knew (or heard about) plenty of girls that had STD's. Gonnorhea was the main one that I heard about. That being said, as long as you wrap your dick the first time you bang some strange, you're probably alright.

This is why you should know the people you have sex with. Plate spinning is superior to sex with strangers because you can have this conversation with them.

Bitches out there are rattier than you think. Always use protection (for self-defense as much as for health reasons), and exercise caution.

Your body is a temple unto yourself. Be faithful to your god and keep his joint clean.

Yes dude, You should worry. Bag it and be safe. If you see some sores or something that looks shady, bail out of there quickly.

Don't go bareback unless you are willing to deal with the consequences.

The issues one must consider:

Viral infections: Difficult to treat, often stay for a lifetime.

-Examples: Herpes, HIV

Bacterial infections: Antibiotic resistance on the rise. Normally, bacterial infections can be treated simply and effectively, but resistance is becoming the norm over time.

One of the problems with promiscuity, and a reason societies encouraged monogamy, is that STDs are a threat to public health.

Recommendation:

Screen your partners. If you suspect they have a high exposure to STDs, next them.
Always wrap it up.
Promote honest discussion about sex with your partners. Your personal safety counts so if your ego has to take a hit, take it like a champ. Sex is easy for women to come by so expect that they'll have high partner counts. Becoming more comfortable with this discussion will enable women to open up without fear of judgment, which covers your ass.

Don't fuck raw.

At the very least, you should be worried about a possible pregnancy.

Worst, she's got every STD imaginable. Why would you risk that?

Most are easy to get rid off, dont worry

The odds of you contracting something like AIDS is low. There was an article on this on the Rational Male site not too long ago.

Pretty much just have to watch out for herpes. The rest is all curable.

Use a condom.

There is A LOT of ignorance about STD's.... 1. Yes you can get STD's from oral, even from kissing (which blows me away how random people within seconds of meeting each other start tongue kissing at bars/clubs, etc...). I remember The Situation on Jersey Shore being like "nah you can't get STD's from a BJ. What a dumb fuck! 2. There are a shit ton of STD's that don't even show up for quite a while. Basically you are carrying that shit, no symptoms, passing it along, spreading it, and boom symptoms appear. 3. It scares the ever living shit out of me (someone who has been in a monogamous relationship for 15 years and sex with only 1 person in my life) how non-chalant people are with random sex with strangers... and to think, one day if my relationship dies, I will have to be out there in that mix of people carrying god knows what.

It would not surprise me, honestly, if 80% of those of this sub, seduction, pua, etc... are carrying some form of an STD, whether they are symptomatic or not.
