How does a woman who was too embarrassed to discuss sex with her husband approach the subject of safe sex when she begins dating after divorce? Some women don’t, only to find that their new sex partner has infected them with a painful STD or life-threatening disease.
If you don’t know your potential sex partner well enough to talk about condoms and safe sex, and to ask if he has any diseases you should know about, you don’t know him well enough to have sex with him.
AIDS used to be a “gay disease.” It isn’t now, and women are one of the fastest growing segments of the population being infected. Why?
Adulterous husbands who don’t practice safe sex with their other partners.
Adulterous wives who don’t practice safe sex with their other men.
Women who have unprotected sex with casual and/or short term partners.
Women who have unprotected sex with partners who sexually indiscriminate.
Genital Herpes is another big deal. Genital herpes are very easy to transmit. Just one quick hop in bed with a guy with an active case of genital herpes will net a woman a lifelong venereal disease.
If having genital herpes isn’t bad enough, what woman wants to have to tell her future sex partners that she’s infected? And what man wants to chance sex with a woman who is infected but won’t admit it?
