here's the thing...
there are literally hundreds of viruses out there... way more than medicine currently recognizes... the only viruses they are aware of are those that cause immediate and specific disease... but the most successful viruses are the ones that do not cause any overt symptoms or identifiable disease...
There are a host of afflictions, such as lupus, arthritis, even some cancers, that show some genetic correlations... but that do not always happen to those with the gene.
Scientists arer only just now beginning to investigate the possibility that many of these diseases that have always been thought of as being non-communicable... may in fact result from genetic susceptibility triggered by exposures to communicable viruses, microbes or parasites.
And the scariest scenario, is that they may be triggered, decades down the line, by exposures to pathogens that have no other symptoms... and so are undiscovered.
That being said... the more sexual partners a mate has had... the wider a pool of potential pathogens you are wading in.
An STD screen only reassures you about the things they can test for.
So... I would have to say that the heart wants what it wants... If I met someone who had slept around a lot... and she was just the perfect match for me... it might not bother me to take that risk.
But for a fling? a lousy one nighter? just to get laid?
Well then the risk looms a lot larger...
is a small risk to my long term health worth a couple rolls in the hay?
While I would not want a novice... simply because the curiosity of never having other men might get to her some day....
Neither would I be all that pleased about numbers in the double digits.
15 would be pretty iffy for me... 25 an absolute no go.
Women or men who are so steadfastly re-partnering that they achieve those kinds of numbers are scary simply for their demonstrated inability to hold fast to any one.
She should have just enough experience to be able to realize that I am the right guy for her.
