So you're sayin' there's a chance that YOU have an STD?
Though it is more common in the younger age group, sometimes they go undetected because the symptons take a long time to show up, if ever. And when you say "YOU" im assuming you mean people in my age range.Thats why i always have an age requirement but regardless of that i just dont do anything bb. not worth it...

..... but "stats" aside, we are all adults honey. I wouldn't worry about what other's tell you you should do. Do what you are comfy with, no need to justify your stance.....

As for meeting "quality people" ..... umm, yeah I guess this is as good a "hobby" as any to look!!

Have fun and stay safe!!
