Hey, I got a question for those who have a FWB. Whether it be a friend from before, or someone that started up as a hookup, How long did you guys wait/how many meetups did you do before you decided to start going bare? How did you guys get to mutually agree to it?
Before I met my partner, I had been celibate for a year, with negative testing before that period. I just needed a spiritual break. Time to go inward, get physically and mentally healthy, and get my ass back into university.
So, I met a guy after that, things went swimmingly, and a year later we had a discussion on commitment. We then made a choice, based on trust, that we would forgo condoms.
At the end of the day, it is up to you. Yes, you can have a long chat with your bf/fwb/whatever, but do you
trust them? And by that I mean you have to make a personal choice about your health, based on what you were told.
So, if you are unsure, if there is a hair of doubt that your fwb is playing elsewhere, then keep using condoms.
