By reaction, I mean to provoke discussion and challenge some common beliefs. You apparently have bought into the hype and will, no doubt, never change your mind.
............ Some men climb mountains, dive out of airplanes. Others, live tranquil, boring and predictable lives. They end up in nursing homes with dementia and slobber dripping out of their mouths. What's it for you?
OK so if I Understand you now you want to have a discussion????? And yet you do not answer a single one of the questions, I posed, but you claim that I have bought into "hype". Yet, make no mention of What "Hype" I have bought into????? The "Hype" of STD's or the "Hype" of possible pregnancy? Not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I think both of those are NOT "hype" and fairly common and real????
You then appear to defend your reckless actions of havong unprotected sex by likening it to "Climbing mountians" or "jumping out of airplanes". I believe my example of Russian Roulette is a bit more spot on??? What is more amazing you then seem to link the act of having unprotected sex, might actually keep you from getting dementia and/or slobbering in a nursing home????? I suppose the thought process is, if you survie that you must be invisable and bullet proof, but, I put words in your mouth, sorry.......
I think the opposite point could be better argued?
Russian roulette? Its a 1 in 6 probability of instant death.
STD's are no more prevalent today than they were 25 years ago (1980's), probably less so (since everyone wears a condom now). I don't know what you were doing back then, but I picked up many, many, girls in bars and never had a problem (never ever wore a condom). The HIV/AIDS myth put the kibosh on unprotected sex.
As far as getting a girl pregnant; no I do not worry if a girl whom I just met in a bar gets pregnant. She is taking a far greater risk than me and always has the option to refuse. If she is having unprotected sex, it is her responsibility to take birth control pills. Extortion? No friggin way I would fall for the bullshit.
I am just offering a different viewpoint on this subject. I do not have unprotected sex very often because the HIV/AIDS myth has destroyed that possibitlity for most of us. Do I take the chance every once in a while? yes!
I know this sounds like heresy since this myth is so thoroughly and completed pounded into our heads.
