[NSFW] Before engaging in sex should my partner be tested?

d) dont have sex with random strangers

My current g/f; I told that I was tested, and she said the same to me. I believe her.

b and c but also (d) use a condom. I don’t usually have sex with strangers (in fact, they’ve always so far been friends…) so it’s already someone I know and trust. But if they were a stranger I would not go so far as to require their STD tests. I feel confident enough in the efficacy of condoms and that most common STDs are no big deal.

That reminds me, I should get my paperwork. It’s in my record but I should keep a copy for myself.

My beau and I discussed our sexual histories and shared our HIV and STD status with one another. I did not require documentation because I do trust him completely. If I was inclined toward having sex with strangers (which I am not, but I am also not judging anyone who is), I might require documentation and I would certainly require a condom.

I would find it highly suspicious if a random stranger who I wanted to have sex with carried with them STD test documentation. But it is funny to read the comments that there are those who would ask for it

@softtop67 having come of age in the era of AIDS, if I was inclined to sleep with random strangers, I am pretty sure I would not have any problem having some sort of documentation to show I am clean. Keep in mind however I am north of 40 and it has been a long time since I have spent time on the dating scene so this could be a woefully out of date opinion. LOL!

@softtop67 It’s certainly not unreasonable to go out into the world prepared for the possibility of sex. The alternative—that having sex with a stranger is always spontaneous, unexpected, and not planned for in advance—is unreasonable. Carrying test results is really only a step further than carrying condoms the way I see it.

My fiance and I knew that each of us had been recently tested prior to our first having sex.

Most people would probably be offended if you even asked for proof.

@SuperMouse I am north of 40 myself and dont have random sex, but when I had those youthful indiscretions I was happy to have a condom and blood test results were not even a thought. Of course the consumption of alcohol made thinking secondary most of the time

@lapilofu If someone was so prepared for random sex that they carried a “recent” STD test with them at all times, this would raise more flags than it would settle in my head

I’ve never asked for STD paperwork but it’s something I’d consider asking for if we found someone Alex and I want to sleep with.

I am obsessed with my hygiene. I always want everything to be perfect and clean. So for me the answer would be test yourself, let the other person test himself too (if he cares and doesn’t only want to sleep with you and then brake up with you then he’ll go for the test)
DO NOT BANG ANY MOVING STRANGER!
I don’t think I’ll trust the boy if he told me that he has gotten tested:/
That’s just me:D

if i can’t trust what someone says, i’m not having sex with them. it’s never come up and it probably never will.

Yes, tested for sanity.

i thought it said tasted…...not tested, my bad.

Definitely test first. Algebra makes great foreplay.

You get married first. If both of you have been keeping your pants to yourselves, you have nothing to worry about.
Abstinence FTW!

I have always asked the other person if they had been tested. If they had and told me the results, I believed them. I’ve only slept with people that I trusted to be honest with me. Condoms were always required unless I wanted to get pregnant.
