| 1. I married my first at 20. But by our mid-twenties, we were miserable together. Looking back, we were a terrible match. I've left my religion, the one that made me believe that sex outside of marriage is a sin second only to murder, and I hope my kids "sleep around" in college while they are figuring themselves out, and that they wait to get married. |
I disagree with your statements. I got vaccinated first in 2008. The vaccine is available for almost 20 years. I also was tested for HPV routinely in Europe in 1990s (for cancerous types). Men can ask for vaccine and pay out of pocket. There are men I would sleep with. Those who are not using condoms/anti vaxxes can pass by. |
How did all of you desperate incels find DCUM? It used to me so much more fun when only the smart people were here. |
You disagree with the scientific statistic of how effective condom use is for HPV? ok then. Also-did you only date very rich guys in college? That they were all willing to go pay out of pocket for an HPV test that actually doesn’t work and exist? If you use your friend google-you will see that there is no clinically approved HPV test for men. And the only way they are diagnosed is with symptoms. Are there “tests” for it sure-but they are not considered reliable. |
No, I disagreed with your statements that women only began being screened regularly 5 years ago because I clearly was able to ask for that testing annually in (a not very wealthy) European country in late 1990s. They screened me for cancerous HPV 16, 18 and 44 types, I believe. Vaccination is available from 2006. I used condoms with men I slept with and yes, I only slept with men of certain SES even back in college. And condoms do protect pretty well (70% is good enough if you are selective who you sleep with and inspect his equipment for warts). You just threw in a couple of new well known facts in your last message ( that men are not tested for HPV and only treated for symptoms- that is correct). |
After we split, I learned about like 5-6 other scenarios where she was unfaithful during our relationship. I really was pretty naive and trusting. And, I passed up some really hot girls along the way. I’m not complaining, my current wife is wonderful and I couldn’t have done better for myself. Its just that I missed a lot of great opportunities to be faithful to someone who was never faithful to me. |
| A lot. More than my husband did. But been faithful for over 30 years. |
You said you required an HPV test from men that you slept well and they paid out of pocket for it. But that test is not a thing-so you made that part up. |

Where did I say I required HpV test from men? I required vaccination |
So let me get this straight. You required men who you were going to sleep with to go pay out of pocket for a vaccine (which doesn’t tell you if they already have HPV) and you think that vaccine goes into effect immediately upon them receiving it? Got it. So glad it worked out for you. |
No, again, you added new information or facts that only come from you. I require vaccination, condoms use for a few months even when exclusive I don't mix fluids for a while. It is a pretty damn good protection that worked for me |
For someone who seems to think they know everything about this-you clearly have no idea how the hpv vaccine works. Because you are responding as if it is one shot. It is not. It’s 3 for adults and over the course of about 7 months. |
Leave me alone, I know how it works |

I'm also curious if the women who slept around a lot in college found all their partners attractive?
I look back at my college years and wish I had slept around more in theory (no judgement there) but I honestly didn't meet many guys in college that I found sexually attractive at all. Maybe a half dozen total? Then I was super into them and would have had sex twice a day, every day. But the vast majority of college guys were just not appealing at all. |
I wrote this way way up thread. I have regrets about not sleeping around more, that I wasted all my time with two long term bfs who were not good for me (but were very very cute). But when I think about my opportunities, the guys were gross. And I say that with thirty years of hindsight too. There was probably one or two guys I should have given it a go with whom I didn’t, but otherwise I think most of the hookups I could have done would have left me feeling worse. I did spend a summer in dc where I hooked up a decent amount, and that was loads of fun and made me feel great. The guys were just a little older. And that summer set me up to be in a healthy place to meet Dh (who I met right after that summer) and we’ve had a ridiculously healthy and positive relationship for 27 years now. I credit the summer of hooking up towards that! But yes, lots of ugly young guys. |
