[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it weird that much of this thread is about whether one can expect sexual exclusivity without offering the possibility of marriage.  I am like OP, divorced, not interested in marriage or comingled finances or having companion meet kids, and not interested in relationship lasting for more than a few years as I have plans to move out of the country for career.

But, as someone who came of sexual age during the AIDS crisis, I have to ask - does no one practice safe sex anymore?  Part of safe sex is getting tested with new partner (or sharing recent results), using condoms and sleeping with one partner at a time (i.e. monogamy).  I don't understand why monogamous but not necessarily long term sex is so unthinkable.  It used to be considered the sexually responsible thing to do. [/quote]

Unless you or your partner are needle-drug users, male homosexuals, come from sub-Saharan Africa, or have some other specific reason to fear carrying the AIDS virus, then the "steps" you recite are more a function of political correctness than some sort of practical necessity.

I would be shocked if even 5% of heterosexual couples do the array of precautions you mention prior to initiating a penetrative sexual relationship with a new person.

And it's probably less than1%.

But hooray for political correctness amIrite?[/quote]
