Protecting yourself

I first do not want anyone to become offended by this question, I just wonder how many ppl actually take time to get to know ppl on a very personal level before giving yourself to them.

How many ppl actually ask questions about the other persons back ground? (MEANING)

What type of cureable or non-cureable disease have you encountered? or How many of you feel that those are questions that you do not have to answer unless self may choose to. or whether your simply comfortable with asking the questions at all? or do you not think to ask them not because you don't care but it's not something your used to asking?

    Eh I dont ever really ASK about someones background that way, if you end up getting close with them you kinda end up knowing it anyways. I think that getting to know someoen on a very personal level is important but the whole health issues thing comes later on, if need be that is.

    Some just dont have the patience to get to know people that well though but thats a whole other issue.

    i think we all should be asking those questions but im just a guilty as everyone else on not asking them. i think when we are young and in the heat of the moment or what ever those things dont cross our mind till afterwards. Now as an adult if i was to find myself back on the market i would be more careful and would take more time getting to know someonw before getting involved in the bedroom. but yeah i think most ppl know they should know more about each other but i think very few actually do before they sleep together.

    I flat out ask. And i ask for paperwork. Sounds horrible but people lie. I get tested at least once a year. If with someone new, every six months for a year. And I bring my own condoms to the party. I know how new they are and that they are polyurethane instead of latex so less likely for allergic reactions or breakage.

    These days just glad i am married and don't have to worry about it any more. Always discussed it but never asked for proof. Leap of faith I guess, probably a stupid one.
