Why would I be? I get tested regularly (even now that I’m married, just in case), have the HPV vaccine, use protection, and have been on some sort of contraceptive for most of my adult life. I’ve never had an STD or an “oops” pregnancy, and know very few people who have.

Sex is fun, and pleasure is one of the best ways to deal with stress, imo. We shouldn’t feel guilty pursuing what we want, as long as everyone is a consenting adult and being safe and responsible.
