I'm curious - is no one concerned about the risks of STDs when engaging in BBBJ and DATY? Take herpes for example: 80% of people with the virus haven't been diagnosed and don't even know they have it, yet one in four adult women in the US are infected with the herpes virus while for men the rate is one in five. It has been estimated that about 20% of the population have genital herpes and 90% have oral herpes (cold sores). To put that in perspective, if even 20 people read this post, the odds are four of you have genital herpes (and three of you don't know it) while 18 of you have oral herpes (and 16 of you don't know it). It seems like a significant risk, especially since those infected with the virus can infect even if blisters are not visible.

I'm not preaching or judging - I'm just curious how people juggle the risk vs. reward of these two activities. Anyone care to chime in and have a polite conversation?

There is a lot of risk vs reward here. And - herpes is probably the least of concerns when it comes to STDs and other risks. There was a long post and thread a while back on the national discussion about this topic. I'm sure there have been several over the years.

I regularly get checked and before i decide to dine down there I discreatly do a look over first. I always use protection and i always do my research on the providers before I see them and read there reviews to make sure they are safe also pm some of the clients who have seen her and reviewed her and get info about the provider before seeing her and so far I have not ran across any bad experiences. Also stay the hell away from back page unless they are reviewed providers. If they have been providers for a few yrs and they arent on any review boards and they dont have p411 there IS a reason WHY? Be safe play smart and most of all have fun.
