The Avoided Coversations "STD's"
Good day people! I hope all is well. Today I want to touch on a sensitive topic that is rarely discussed among couples or even just casual sex partners. Firstly and the main question, do you feel comfortable asking your partner about their STD testing prior to having sex? If so what made it easier, if no why not? Also what are some ways to break the ice for these type's of conversations or inquires?

I've learned to get past uncomfortable. It's easy for me now because I didn't ask in the past and it has cost me my life. I didn't test positive for HIV but Herpes is just as incurable. So, for the rest of my life I have to have difficult conversations about my status with men that I find myself interested in. I have days where I'm convinced no matter how pretty I am and how great my personality is no one will want to marry me. 90% of people with Herpes don't know they have it...The last stat I heard said that close to 48% of black women are infected. Uncomfortable, embarassed, nervous is NOT an excuse for not asking. We love eachother and I trust him/her isn't an excuse either. I loved the man and trusted him with my life. Never trust anybody with your life. Get tested EVERY year! If you think your partner is cheating, go twice a year and always insist on protecting yourself!

Wow!! STD’s thank the Lord I have never had one. I always say if you want to know something asks. Why would you put yourself in a situation and not at least know 90% of what you are getting into. I say 90% because most people won’t tell you everything about their sex history. If you at least get something you will have more to go on. I never had any clever ways of asking a woman when the last time she tested If I asked and she got an attitude or was offended I knew how to handle her from that point. Ask the question, no one cares more about you than you.
