here's a question for the experienced hobbyists - what are the chances of catching someting from kissing a provider?  how about french kissing?  any precautions you would recommend?

A cold perhaps...that is about the extent of it.

Remember the hobby has its more serious risks.

"Remember the hobby has its more serious risks."

I would be interested in hearing what those are? Thanks.

Check out my post abone this one titled: STD' and your SO!!!

If a provider has an STD in the throat or genitals which is common with ANYONE having multiple partners you can get an STD from kissing DFK and DATY. You'll get symtons in 3 to 7 days. If so get get a complete STD panel ASAP - INCLUDING an STD throat culture, get the meds if you test positve and avoid contact for at least a week. You can always tell your SO that you have a bad cold to avoid suspicion.

Oh my God is that ever the truth. I love women dearly, but some of the fucking mind games (particular to some Western cultures) have to end.

No, I'm not looking for the obedient slave. I just don't want every minor hiccup in life to become a Greek tragedy. I am human. I will occasionaly forget a date or arrive late or buy the wrong whatever. Deal with it.

I have been in the hobby a couple of months now and spent a boat-load of money. Don't know how long I can keep this us. Still better than the head games and bullshit from dating and trying to find someone for sex. Just my .02

You can get these online at CVS, or get a used one from E-Bay.  Personally though, I make my own.  First, take a piece of Saran-Wrap about 12 in. square.  Then, get two (large) rubber bands and four 13 inch sections of duct-tape.  Adhere the Saran Wrap to the rubber-bands at opposite ends (top and bottom).  Then, when you arrive at the provider's house, go ahead and put the kissing condom over your face and secure the sides with your extra two peices of duct tape.  This little marvel covers your entire face, and it completely waterproof.

Let me know if you want me to send you the schematics.

Xeno...

You have got to be kidding.

I have a better idea - why not saran-wrap your entire body (four layers) and duct-tape your mouth and tongue?
