I like taking polls and hearing diverse opinions. It helps to see alternatives and fresh perspectives. I grew up as a “flower child” of the 60’s. It was a time when sex was “making love”, a time before condoms and AIDS. Make love not war! LOL. So much has changed since then!

What does “safe sex” mean to you?

Is it monogamous or do you fool around? Is it BDSM? Are you the submissive? Is it PIV or FWB? Online or IRL? Is it a one night stand, a hook up, NSA or a torrid love affair, DADT? Are you emotionally invested or is it purely physical, using a condom to reduce the risk of STD. Male for male, male for female, female for female?

What does “safe sex” mean to you? May your wet dreams come true!
Thanks for this!

My idea of safe sex is to use condoms and another method to prevent pregnancy. However, I have been know to forgo the precautions at times, which I consider to be rather stupid on my part but have taken chances at times.

in a committed relationship, monagamous with someone you trust and makes you feel loved. When i was single it was about feeling in control of the situation and only allowing what i was comfortable with depending on the partner or situation. If anyone tried or pushed anything I clearly said no to or stated not interested...then nope, walking out the door and on the rare occasion some scumbag push to hard or tried to stop me from leaving, pepper spray, butterfly knife, or if in my car crowbar next to my seat.. ( I have never actually injured anyone, just showed seriousness that i was ready to defend myself if nessecary.) I did use the pepperspray once, but that was on some creep who waited for me til i got outta work and tried to corner me and get handsy when i was getting in my car. Called thevpolice after i floored it to the nearest open convience store and told them what happened where mane description and basic make model color of his vehicle. Then i never saw him again. Gave my statement and aske only to be contacted if absolutely nesescary for my safety. Done.

Safe sex for me means sex in a sober state and with contraceptives.

I don't mean to be judgemental but I do experience some people 35ish and younger auto using condoms and 60+ish not using condoms and I have to ask them to. Safe sex means yes condoms and being with 1 person, but I am high risk for STI and STD.
Thanks for this!
