I received an e mail from a person the other day asking:
Hey Asextoys, this entire polyamory factor tends to make me nervous simply because I’m paranoid about receiving an STD. Does not being poly improve your danger of STDs? I’d consider poly folks practice secure sex, but does not that get inside the way of intimacy?
1) There is certainly no such point as “safe sex”. Not even masturbation is protected sex, considering the fact that you could give yourself one thing if you don’t maintain your toys clean. So, when we take precautions, it is actually safer-sex, but its nevertheless not 100% secure.
two) Practicing safer-sex is extremely, crucial. But in poly-sexual scenarios it can be important. This is the 300# gorilla within the room that nobody desires to talk about for the reason that it may seem paranoid, untrusting, crude, or melodramatic. As a proponent of polyamory, I'm also an advocate of safer-sex practices, because the final issue I want to do is transmit anything to someone I really like.
three) Some individuals think that practicing safer-sex signifies utilizing a condom throughout intercourse. This is naive, virtually criminally so. In case you are working with condoms whenever you fuck but not if you suck him, or do not use gloves plus a barrier whenever you are providing her oral, then you definitely are not practicing safer sex, you happen to be playing at it. (Study more about the best way to have Safer Sex at About.com)
four) Polyamory is Polynomial. Inside the not too distant past, I had three partners. Three. Now lets do the math. If I have 3 partners, and each and every of them has one particular other partner, and every of their one-others has one-other, how several body-fluids are possibly being inter-exchanged? 10. That's loads of semen and vaginal secretions, saliva and mucous membranes, and if I hadn’t been scrupulous about screening my sex/play partners, then I put myself and everyone I was with, and everybody they were with, at danger.
five) Every person who is sexually active in non-exclusive relationships must have frequent screenings for STIs (sexually transmitted infections). You may trust your partner(s), but do you trust your partner’s partners? Is your inner circle sexually responsible enough for fluid-bonding (Don’t know what fluid bonding is, read this clear explanation at SmartSexTalk.com)? There are many stories of fluid-bonded couples that have had to go back to making use of barriers due to the fact one of them had poorly-protected sex or took on a secondary partner who couldn’t deliver proof of current screenings as well as the other partner(s) felt it was prudent to practice safer-sex throughout the 6 month testing interim.
6) The importance of confidentiality and/or anonymity for screening. Consider regardless of whether or not to use your insurer / key doctor for screenings. I know we're inside the middle of a health care crisis and reform, and Insurers are Big Brother in all this. The have the pot of gold, they desire to hold it to themselves, and they use your health-related records to discriminate against you. If they know that you're often tested for STIs, they may take into account that an indicator of “risky behavior” (in lieu of overall health maintenance) and drop you or raise your rates. There are actually firms around like getSTDtested.com, and various nearby clinics, that provide testing at various rates with no compromising your medical history. Many people are pursuing double stimulation. They wonder a double sided dildo to fill their ass and vagina at the same time.
Just a couple of anecdotes:
It's not uncommon for poly-couples to possess a contract for themselves and their secondary partners - contracts that happen to be reviewed and signed prior to intimacy, not immediately after. Such contracts normally demand that all partners be tested semi-annually, disclose any and all exposures, and to work with barriers in the course of sex for a minimum of six months before contemplating moving to a “fluid-bonded” status. I’ve been presented with and signed more than some of those more than the years and I’ve generally located them to be an affirmation of my judgment in my partners. Are you still feeling lonely because of lack of partner? Don’t worry, dildos can help you solve this problem and even you the stronger feeling than the real man.
STIs can show up in surprising locations:
I've some close friends inside a monogamous connection that were “serial-monogamy sluts” just before they got married. They didn’t understand they had genital herpes until he had a flare-up - in his eye. He is certainly one of these pussy-eaters who definitely likes to rub his face in it, soaking himself from his hairline to his chin. They are not certain who gave it to whom, and although they’ve tried to notify previous partners, for them, its also late. They’ve got it for life, and he gets to be concerned about going blind if he doesn’t maintain it below handle.
I've one more buddy who learned that a wart on her husband’s finger happen to be transmitted to her vaginal and anal openings. The therapy was embarrassing, exceptionally unpleasant, and so painful she screamed just about every time she went pee for a week.
