We have all thought about having the "talk". We get concerned and worry about what others will think of dirty old us.

We decide it's time to have sex so it's "the talk" time. We tell them. They worry a little and then accept us as we are. We are elated and it's off to bed we go. Sometimes we are so concerned about giving "it" to them and it ruins the experience.

We are so worried about "our" problems that we are totally forgetting that WE don't want to catch something else.

We (and possibly they) don't know what they have. The "talk" goes both ways. They might have something we don't want. We at least need the information to decide.

But they don't have any symptoms. That means zip, zero, nada. Many many people don't have any symptoms.

Don't think of the "talk" as the time to air your dirty laundry but rather as a time for both of you to see what the playing field looks like.

Remember the odds are pretty high that they might have something too. Demand the "talk" (testing) from them to protect yourself. More insight on http://herpesmates.com --the most trusted community to meet new friends, partners or potential spouses, or learn about STD medical information.
