such as your husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc.
If so then how do you assure them that you are STD free? If you see them infrequently, such as my main providers does, how do you know they are STD free? Trust? I suppose this has been posted before but I couldnt find it on a search.
Thanks to all of you guys. I enjoy this whole experience I wish i had it in my younger days......

No. Although I see my sweetie only very rarely, we both agree that as long as I continue to enjoy my occupation, it is wiser to continue to use protection for both of our safety.

I remember talking about him but we never discussed protection.

I don't think there is a blanket answer to this question from all providers.  I'm sure it varies on an individual basis.  My only comment is I would NEVER go bareback with a client, and if I had a significant other in my life, it would take a significant length of time before I would even discuss the matter, let alone agree to it regardless as to whether I was in this profession.  As for safety, well, that's why I would never go bareback with a client... and I am very leary of a client who asks for it or says that they do with another provider.  Just think, if she does it with you, how many others does she do it with.  I think a provider who does that has no self-respect and a bit of a death wish.  There is the AIM healthcare center for us providers to get tested as frequently as we want.   I vote for frequently, please!

With my wife? Yes, when I have sex with her which hasnt been in 3 mos. How about you?

Thanks for your reply. I agree that neither a client or provider should go bareback. I do have unprotected sex with my wife (when we have it) but I have protected sex with my providers. But I just wondered how providers handled the men or women in their personal life.
Thanks again

My wife (a provider) and I never use protection together... we also swing and always use protection... when she is working she uses protection for all contact.

Yes, in that case it would be safe for you. Just curious, when you swing do you use protection on all contact?
