This Is How You Can Ask Him If He's Had an STD Test
Dudes aren't always the cleanest. They adjust their stuff in pubic, they drink milk from the jug and they seem to be wherever, whenever. However, there's one nasty thing that puts all of those to shame.
Did you know that almost half of all men admit that they have never actually been tested for an STD?
Kindara, a fertility awareness app, was interested in what both men and women consider to be safe sex. They conducted a survey in which they asked 1,000 people to reveal some personal stuff. Of the men who were sexually active, a whopping 44 percent said that they haven't even been tested for sexually transmitted diseases before! And 30 percent of women admitted the same thing. Maybe a one night stand isn't so good after all.
Men were also found to have more sex than women. Nearly half of them said they had slept with more than eight people, and nine percent even admitted that they've had more than 41 partners. And, in addition, Kindara reveals that previous surveys have revealed that people under-report. Women of this survey said they had less than three sexual partners. They were also twice as likely to say they'd had sex with someone before being emotionally ready.
This information should simply have you understanding the importance of being as honest and open as possible with the person you're getting tangled up in the sheets with. Nicole Prouse, Ph.D., a human sexuality researcher says, "Data shows that when people say 'I'm clean' what they really mean is they haven't seen any active growths and when they say they've 'tested clean' they're usually only talking about HIV."
What this means is that sex questions need to be really clear. So just get it all out! Ask him when he was last tested and what he was tested for. You should always be prepared to give out your information on this subject as well.
Have you always been open with a given partner about this?
