Radford University @ Radford, VA = highest STD rate in the nation. You should see the sluts over there. Jeezus, you're lucky to find one without STD.

Casual sex is kind of overrated anyways. You don't have to buy into it. A lot of those people you mentioned probably already have STDs and don't know it, or keep it to themselves. They sure as hell aren't gonna tell you if they got treated for genital warts or anything.

BTW, condoms won't really protect you from genital warts and HPV.

Something like 3/4 sexually active adults have HPV. It doesn't usually manifest itself. So I wouldn't worry too much about it, it's basically unavoidable. Genital warts is just the outward manifestation of HPV, as far as I know.

Condoms also doesn't stop herpes. I just try to check out the inside of their mouth and their package before I get too close. This one's pretty much unavoidable too, like you said in your post.

25% have it now (genital herpes) so it is not unbelievable. I lucked out in my early years I guess but I suggest the OP proceed with caution.

Yup, after the guy fvcks 20 easy girls, he decides he'll put in the effort to get the 'good girl.' Hell, maybe she's even a virgin. But when he finally finishes his mission, she has an STD.

JMU is almost the same IIRC. STDs are airborne at Radford. 🙂

You're at VT, right?

and 70-80% would have been exposed to HPV.

Fortuntely, it's ATOT, so you could sleep with anyone here quite safely 😉
 
One night stands last till morning but syphilis lasts a lifetime

so better safe than sorry. if you dont miss it then it is no big deal.
 
as other members had mentioned, condoms do not protect you fully from diseases. this is because your testes (your sacs, your balls), aren't covered and will be moisted during action. moisture means your pores are open and you can become infected through your testes. so if you really are goign to use a condom and want the maximum protection, use a condom that covers your testes also. do not have the female use any foam, gel, etc... if you are using a condom, because it could cause the condom to tear (just blow up a condom into a balloon and rub vaseline on it and it will pop).

One thing is if you don't ant to be with the "easy girls" but if it's just because of STD just use condoms.

Condoms aren't effective in preventing the spread of HPV, one of the most common STDs.
 
The failure rate of condoms is quite high for pregnancy & STD transmission, ideally, it's only 2-3%, but in real life it's as high as 25%, depending on how you group the users/failures.
