Now, of course, this obviously screws with several of your lifestyles, although, i think it seems that a few of you are angry in general because you haven't been able to get laid by anyone you weren't paying.
And, like it or not, condoms do NOT prevent STDs. they are meant to keep people from getting pregnant. We have Clinton to thank for the rumor that condoms keep you safe from AIDS.
You want to save YOURSELF from getting AIDS? Don't have sex with slutty people.
That is all i have to say on the subject

This may be slightly off topic. I wonder how much disinformation there really is about AIDS? Are we really being told the truth?
For example, years ago I heard it was VERY difficult for men to catch AIDS from women, however it was very easy for women to catch AIDS from men (and of course easy for men to catch AIDS from other men.)
This was passed on to me by more than one MD, including a very close friend. You can't find this info anywhere on the web. Maybe they have discovered it isn't true. Maybe it has been conveniently omitted from public discussion because it is true, but doesn't really work the problem.
If that is true (and I can understand why misinformation would be widely spread based upon this, for the safety of women) we have basically been duped -- for our own safety -- people would claim.
If that is false, then I should probably totally retract this post, because even suggesting this idea would be dangerous. (I definitely wouldn't suggest it anywhere else except ATS, and then only with the qualifier that people should TAKE NO CHANCES!)
So, is the truth really known about AIDS? I am suspicious.
Edit: One reason I am suspicious is that the stigma associated with male homosexual behavior might cause the statistics to be skewed, i.e. men might claim they caught AIDS from their female partner rather than come out of the closet. That doesn't serve anyone, does it?
