Do you get checked for sexually transmitted infections?

How did you take your own blood?
Or was it a finger prick

Yeah I think its called a lancet. You just prick your little finger and then collect the blood in a small tube.

I'm just amazed at the idea of only ever having experienced sex with one person. I'd be extremely curious!

Not nearly as curious as you would if you only ever experienced sex with yourself.

Well, I have only experienced sex with seven people and I'm curious. My husband was a bit of a wild child and doesn't know his number exactly, and he's still curious. I don't think you ever stop being curious unless something traumatic has happened to you, or you're asexual.

What I do is donate blood several times a year, and as long as they don't have me on some kind of banned donor list, I presume I'm fine.

Back in the days of 'Jimmy and the adventures of his penis' I got myself checked regularly, mad not to even though I was careful you just never know. I haven't been checked in years though, no need. Anybody with more than one partner would be irresponsible not to

The grass over there is always greener until you get there and realise that it's still just grass, and rather than going around looking for new fancy grass varieties some of which is a all dried up and some others being a bit mouldy, maybe it's best to grow your own grass with a trusted partner and nurture it and care for it, and add in your own flavours and spices to it so that it's the best grass you're ever going to smoke.

No. There's some active volcanoes that haven't blasted off in 100 years.

Well, we are married and monogamous. We're also curious about what it would be like to fly to the Moon, but one of us is not going to run off and secretly become an astronaut, either.

I went for a check up a few years back in St James hospital. The waiting room was absolutely jammers. There was a little child running around everywhere just being a child I guess. Totally expected when a child is forced to sit in a waiting room like that for hours on end. Anyway the mother of said child started to get a bit irritated at the child running around and beckoned the child to her. She tried to get the child to sit on her lap. The child was having none of it. The poor little mite started kicking and screaming before shouting all over the packed waiting room "MY MAMMY HAS AN STI!!!"

True story!! Funniest thing Ive seen a child do ever!!

I need more poll options OP. Where's the "I never get laid so I don't bother." option?

Granted the 'risky behaviour' one comes close, but these days I avoid that when drunk. I've become a very boring man....

I've got the rot, but not the phallic pox so I'm grand. 😋

I take antibiotics a few times a year for other things which happen to also cover the STIs so I'm good. :pac:
