Mutual Medical Exam for STD

I´ve often wondered what it would like to meet someone from the past, say from 25, 30 years ago and se the opportunity of having a sexual relationship with them. Either a renewal or a new one, whichever.

But back in the old days, there wasn´t much to be wary about medically speaking. STD´s were usually cured by a course of antibiotics, and HIV was still unknown.

Now however things are different. There is always the danger of a partner having HIV. How does one ask such a question politely, and more top the point but even harder to do, how can one really trust an answer in the first place?

I´ve thought, sometimes as fantasy, sometimes seriously, that one method of ensuring mutal health would be for both partners to have a medical exam form STD´s done together. That way both can see what is done and preferably also both see the results afterwards.

That is of course a bit of a fantasy or else an unattainable ideal.

Or is it? I was wondering if anyone here has ever done something in this manner: undergo a medical exam with both partners to determine the prescence or not of STD´s?.

It sounds like a nice idea, but might very well be a bit unpractical in practice. But still, if anyone has any thoughts or experience in this matter, I´d be happy to hear about it. It is certain to be interesting.

If you never had sex together but were planning on being monogamous and a life together, this would be very possible.

Obviously on a one night stand, this is impossible.

If my current partner asked me to undergo an exam and testing, I would happily do so. I have always felt that way. Actually, he's seen me fill out so many medical forms and knows so much about my health situation, he could probably fill out a new patient questionnaire for me!

I have nothing to hide, it wouldn't bother me in the least. I agree 100% with what Susie said.

I have made a practice of getting std tested at the same time as any potential sexual partner now for a streak of consecutive woman friends since shortly after college. I started making it a conversation topic right around the same time I also swore off of so called "one night stands" forever as that version of sex or rather "relationship" provides me with so little pleasure that it quite simply not worth my time to engage in the activity. I know there are many many people out there who are different from me if not opposite and they truly enjoy what they call the 'thrill' of engaging a near if not complete stranger sexually. Sometimes I do wish I could enjoy one night stands quite frankly but i digress.

I have never, funnily enough, actually have been examined by the same nurse or doctor as my potential new partner. I just never thought of it as an option. I am now going to make it my mission to do so.

I explain my personal one night stand exorcism because my practice of requesting to be sti tested before sexual embarkment along with my potential sexual partner actually began as a way to avoid awkward or resentful feelings if a new woman friend wanted to sexually active in what i knew would be too soon for me, satisfaction and sexual enjoyment wise.

I simply do this by being just fairly honest and up front with them about it. I explain how it is important to me. If they still want more explanation sometimes I will say that while I do consider myself fairly average in the total number of sexual partners range, I also at the same time consider myself lucky as I have never been unfortunate enough to have to endure being infected by an sti and i havent come this far just to experience what thats like now. Sometimes instead of or in addition to that I will be just super blunt and say I have had to endure an issue which at first was what i thought was sexually transmitted but fortunately was not etc etc. I have no problem and in fact enjoy more when the woman becomes curious and wants to know more about me so i will talk about the time i got a uti or the time i got thrush. Honesty, within reason, is the best policy. I am truly happy I've been lucky before this whole testing thing started and I never had to experience a true blue bonified sti. Also, I get an additional doctor appointment too LOL

When I was in the Army, my civilian wife was being seen at the Army hospital for pregnancy. I was never allowed in the room during her pelvic exams, but they would bring me in after to hear what the Doc had to say about how things were going. One time, STD's came up. At the time I had a couple small genital warts (my wife never had any). The Doc says "whip it out and I'll take a look", and I just unbuttoned my BDU's and pulled my penis out. He neded up freezing them right then and there. Me standing there fully dressed but with my dick out, and my wife sitting there on the exam table watching. Pretty weird situation.
