Well, the pot is going to get stirred. I have fallen short of the good way, in it I have learned much. I practiced celibacy for 3 1/2 years after my divorce back in 93, I then met my second husband. I have to be honest with you after all that I see and hear of what is going on in the world, group sex and no protection, wow, its mind boggling. Women have 2.1 diseases, likewise men. I am so happy I didnt drop the ball there. I feel rather liberated and content in a monogamous relationship. Its so scary out there. I know that people tend to want to check out the merchandise before an actual purchase, but YIKES! too risky.. its like, hey can you go to the doctors first before we engage? I would be willing if your willing, seems that is the only route to go, I know you have to get to know a person, but, many diseases lay doormant...they dont even show up for years...or...its too late when they do and someone else gets harmed. I think practicing abstinence till you find that special someone is key...and I dont think waiting till marriage is a bad thing at all...ya I would be willing to do the doctor thing why not? just me.
