For me I would rather be safe once you have had some time with that person and know them then it has to be a mutual agreement otherwise who knows :tiphat::tiphat:
This is where most problems occur, getting to know someone is great but what if they are playing bare back with others, they come back to you and boom Std, people fall for this all the time. Never take the chance unless you have good reason to do so (y)

I did, its quite outdated and a lot of new information isnt covered and pretty much the same information that is on most clinics websites.
There is risk... and there is the perception of risk. The two are not the same.

I mean, the safest thing to do is never to leave your house and don't talk to strangers... but we're all adults here and the best thing you can do is Say KNOW.

Yes but what we are saying is why increase the risk massively by not using condoms when you can cut the risk to nearly zero by using them.

Its like sky diving without a parachute, you might survive but....

Again, that's not a brilliant comparison. Your chances of dying are so high it would be suicidal to try it on the off-chance of being in the 0.001% that survive such situations. Your odds of dying from unprotected sex are not 99.999%

I am genuinely not advocating unprotected or protected sex - just good stats :)

It's like when Prof. Nutt said that taking ecstacy on the weekend was about as dangerous as horse riding. The press and politicians went nuts (excuse the pun) and he lost his job.

But he's still right.

Well id atleast take my chances with protective gear and a horse over a dangerous drug because i can protect myself.. id take protection anyday and will advocate protected sex at all costs especially in swinging and with casual partners.

Unless it is Neil then it is a no to bareback, and it is not just for a womans benefit but also for a mans because we don't know each others sexual history when we meet others.

He's had the snip and I can't get pregnant now (another aspect I've not seen mentioned, thogh I've only read 5 pages of the 11 posted so far), and we've never involved anther guy so far... but even if we did, BB would be out off the question. There's the old saying of "sleep with them, sleep with everyone they've ever slept with", and as a casual lifestyle you are not exclusive to anyone except the partner you may be involved with already, but also its great to reassure the other party that you give a shit about more than just getting your rocks off. It's supposed to be casual and fun for all involved, and not leave a legacy/lesion etc. You wouldn't climb a wall without a harness, no matter how confident you are about your skills, unless you are mad... why risk having to get treatment for something that could be avoided with no embarrassment?

As a single woman I can only speak from, well, a single woman’s perspective. Oh and from the perpective of someone who hasn’t swung before but has had casual sex.

I have read through posts from couples, and couples who have been part of this scene for a good while, and can completely understand going BB, first, with each other and second, with other trusted people who you have built a relationship with.

For me, however, I will always seek to minimise the risk to my sexual health. A disregard for condoms and sexual health is a big turn off. I see it as (rightly or wrongly) a lack of thought for the safety and well-being of others. Plus, a recipe for unwanted pregnancy.
Forget the flowers and chocolates, I find it romantic when others are just as concerned about protecting themselves and others.

That being said, and now I probably sound like a complete hypocrite, I haven’t ever used protection for oral sex. I refuse to swallow, unless I know someone well but that’s not really going to stop anything is it? I suppose I’ve just been very lucky to date.

I’m laughing at myself now for being so obstinate about condoms for fucking but not oral. You’ve given me something to think about! :D

Great reply and good to know it's given you something to think about. Protection is something we all need to use and not just talk about. Some may argue that they find they desentitise the experience but then doesn't that help prolong the fun. Others may be allergic to certain brands but there is plenty of variety out there. There really isn't any excuse to gamble with your own or others health.

I think it’s a really positive thing to have these discussions.

It’s true about variety, there are even vegan condoms! (y)
