So? You don’t need to be kissing multiple people to get a disease through kissing. Some people don’t even know they have a disease and can spread it to you, even if you’re dating them and kissing them only. You can get herpes from sharing a lipstick or a drink. You can have herpes without knowing it, I can have it without knowing it. Most people have it.
I’m all here for promoting safe sex, but STDS are not the end of the world and are often curable if not at the very least treatable. Oral STDs can be prevented (or lower the risk of infection) with protection. Teaching abstinence isn’t teaching people how to protect themselves, because teenagers and adults are going to do it anyway.
No one said teach abstinence. No one said not to teach anyone about adult interaction and making informed decisions.
I just shared my experiences and you shared your opinion as well in a safe space to talk about intimacy in relationships. Gaining different perspectives is a part of life.
Definitely verbal you guys have to talk about the relationship and what each of you is expecting that way it’s mutual ground and you’re not surprised at the end communication is key to everything
Lol my French fam won’t let me into their house without me giving them all kisses on the cheek that’s like 10 ppl. Tbh germs that are spread thru kissing can just as easily b spread thru sharing lip gloss or smth so I probs got smth from my friends I’m not that sensitive w it tho, I’ve kissed sum ppl & I don’t think it matters that much…
When you’ve both had the discussion and verbally agree that you’re mutually exclusive. I’ve seen situations where one of the participants got the idea that they’re already exclusive, while the other participant saw it entirely different, so one of them got hurt.
Best to just talk it out to avoid unnecessary and avoidable pain, tbh.
