All diseases are potentially deadly, and all sex risks transmission of disease. If you need to feel completely safe, then you will never have sex.

So SEX it Up Then! Sure you could die but hey, 30 Seconds of Fun versus a extremely shortened life because of it.

If it only takes you 30 seconds, you're doing it wrong.

Actual Sex is Not Foreplay. Big Diff. The Chase is not the Same as Taking the SHOT!

Still though 30 seconds, that's pretty embarrassing, even impotent dudes can last longer than that I reckon.

Why would AI be unfriendly? From what I'm getting people fear "laughably incompetent AI" that passes off as dangerous due to misreading stuff we do.

Might as well add "alien weapon that misfired at our direction by accident" to the list.

Uh no. Both partners will go through all the tests before doing the deed. The problem is that doesn't work for the promiscuous type.

Perhaps it would judge the free existence of humanity to be against its own self-interest?

Many people who are promiscuous test before having sex with new partners, so . . .

If there are, I certainly haven't heard of it. Good for them though.

I'm not really a moral fan of sexual promiscuity, I'm a bit of a traditionalist in that way. I don't think that level of physical intimacy with someone you aren't emotionally intimate with is a good idea, I think it degrades the level of respect people have for each other, I don't think it's a good practice to make yourself little more than someone else's sexual object, and I think we're seeing the consequences of this casual attitude towards sex through the decline of marriage, the ever increasing single motherhood rate, and the uncertainty around what our sexual standards should be.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan either. It'd be a pretty awkward experience doing it with someone you don't know too well. That being said, you just gotta know how and when to switch your mindset. Personally, I'd enjoy being Prince Xizor—taking out my sexual urges on random chicks, then wiping their memories and sending them back on their way. Or if that sounds too Bill Cosby-like maybe just having concubines for "quick deeds" and one wife for emotionally intimate relations also works.

Every 6 months because even if you haven't cheated...

Are your stances based on the issue that you two cannot form a sexual relationship with the opposite sex or are your positions based on a mature, healthy, set of experiences that have led you to conclude that this is an effective way for relationships to optimally operate?

I mean I'm only gonna speak for myself... and not attempt to speak for or parrot the guy talking about mindwiping chicks for sex and having concubines while married and shit and shit...

But no my stance is not based on some pent-up sexual frustration or resentful attitude towards women, but rather upon my respect for emotional intimacy and the institution of marriage, the values I have given a lot of thought to, an observance in the societal ramifications for the shifting cultural attitude towards sex, as well as the notion that a phenomenon as powerful, deeply psychologically ingrained, complicated, and consequential as sex is not something optimally pursued between two strangers.

I don't think this is a particularly extreme position for a person to hold, and in fact I know plenty of happily married people who hold roughly the same stance as myself, and is in fact mainstream in the domain of Christian thought (which is the umbrella I would say my own philosophical worldview falls under).

And if I were truly sexually frustrated, would it not be more in keeping with that motivation for me to adopt and promote a moral framework that makes sexual satisfaction cheaper and more readily available as opposed to one that would hold me to more rigorous and selective standards from the person I'm seeking a sexual relationship with?

DMB seriously why do you make posts like this, honestly. It's just asking for a damn good trolling.
