We are just having a conversation, I'm not Dr Fauci giving public service announcements on advocating for unsafe safe sex practices. You don't need to protect the public from evil information, I even prefaced it saying hey this is dumb.
Your statement about reporting is totally true generally. That said the notion that men that participate regularly in online anonymous forums reviewing the pussy quality of a woman they paid to have sex with would somehow have those same societal social pressures to not talk shit about a woman who gave them the clap I do not particularly buy.
The only reason I think you think i'm "downplaying" is because I think myself included most people have this notion that if you have irresponsible unprotected sex with one of these high volume providers you are basically all but guaranteed to catch something which I don't see much evidence to suggest is true. Like I said you're still playing with a loaded gun but I think most people have a misconception about transmission rates and the dangers of many types of std's especially in comparison to how much more or less dangerous it is than having sex with a stranger you met at a bar
You seem like you have a background in health, you know the average person doesnt know their risks about certain behaviors despite thinking it might seem common knowledge(ie “Doc, i only smoke a pack a day, how did I get cancer?, “I only have a couple of beers during the week, sometimes more on the weekends, sometimes when Im feeling down, but Im not an alcoholic”, “No way I have HIV, that girl wasnt a street walker, and I washed my dick after, oh and i might have unprotected sex with a guy I met on the internet, but im not gay”)
And again, the average guy sometimes doesnt know what an STD looks like or feels like(“ Doc, after i slept with this girl, Im peeing different, my pee looks yellow” -ok, I ran the tests, your good, your pee is usually yellow, you just thought you got something” )
It’s better to over-emphasize the risk, and “upplay” the benefits of safe sex,
will you get into a car crash just going down the street to the convenience store on a Sunday morning, the probability is low, and seatbelt is not needed
Would you wear a seatbelt when youre driving at night, and the roads are slick with ice, visibility is low and theres heavy traffic, and conditions are right for an accident, yeah wearing a seatbelt will help more than harm or be an irritation
Yeah, accidents happen especially when it comes to sex, if you happen to be guy number 50 for BBFS, just get tested afterwards and know your status
