Hello, Becreative! I hope that things are looking better for you in the UK!

Well, I read your post, and I was interested in what you had to say. On a personal note, the girl I am seeing now and I have decided that premartial sex is not in our best interests, even though we are both disease free. Abstinence, however hard it may be, is always the best way.

Whenever this subject comes up, I always think its worth mentioning to women that a lot of times, they guy can and will remove the contraception during activity. I would caution women to be wary of this.

What I really need to emphasize is that many Muslim nations pride themselves on low STD transmission rates, namely HIV. Remember how 20 years ago when everyone was so scared of that little bug? However, as I have said earlier on here, as more and more people take these flings and sex vacation into Egypt, North Africa and even the Middle East, the probability of running into someone with a disease will increase.
