I placed a link below that will give you info on STD's. The link will take you to the "Newbie Primer" which is in the Self-Help Center. Once you click the link scroll down to the STD's heading. I also suggest you check out other sites such as the CDC etc.

No don't ask the provider if she is disease free. That will end things immediately. Yes, it's rude, insulting, even though it is important. It's understood that you don't want to get anything from her and she doesn't want to get anything from you. There is risk. Can't do anything about that. You can minimize it by being educated and deciding what your risk level is.

Reputable providers that take the time to screen you, have a number of reviews (I say 10 or more.), and their reviewers have reviewed many ladies are who you should look for. They are much more likely to care about themselves and about you in regard to STD's. Get the VIP membership so you can see the providers profile and read all of her reviews. Newbies should always see well reviewed providers and TER is the place to start. Check out the ad board for your region. Check out your regional discussion board and read what the providers post.

Do a search on this board (newbie board) for STD's. It's discussed all the time. You will get a lot of info from that.

The truth is one can never be sure...  nor she of you...  so protect yourself as you feel necessary.

civie girls you might find in a bar. (2) You need to learn to use the search function on TER. If you search for this topic, you will find previous threads which go into lots of detail.

As in sexual and that is not ok ... Most providers whether stated on their website or not WILL NOT tolerate that kind of communication via email, phone, or in person.
