Do you get regularly tested?

Do you think it should be seen as standard thing for swingers to do?

Do you think that there is enough information available on Swinging sites? Would you like to see a whole section on it, saying giving details on GUM clinics, opening hours etc?

I get regularly tested,I find all the clinic info etc very easily on the web so I don't feel a section on that on here would personally make a difference to me.

Other views may differ x

We are tested every 28 days with written results as we need this by law of the Adult Industry, even when swinging only you should get tested at least every 3 months.

In 16 years neither of us have caught anything as its strictly condoms unless like us have valid 28 day certs.

We all need to be responsible for our own health, this means getting tested regularly.

When I started swinging and got tested for the first time I had no idea where the gu clinic was. Google!

The idea of having a list of clinics is a good one in principle. In practice I don't think it would work, there are just too many of them to put a section on the site

No. the clue is in the title 'sexually transmitted' I'd have to get a meet that doesn't crash down in disaster in some way to warrant testing

Every 3 months for me and always will be as long as im having sex.

I think some people assume because they use condoms they dont need checking...id rather be safe than sorry

I get tested every 8 weeks.

I don't need information now as I know where to go but I didn't once and finding the right place, convenient times ect took a while. What harm would it do to have a page with clinics and times?

You wouldn't believe how stupid some are when it comes to sexual health, a section on STD,s would be a great idea.

Condoms are brilliant, if you just do plain sex. But if you do oral unprotected, use fingers, toys etc these all increase the risk... if you use you fingers, hands to pleasure a woman and then touch yourself after with out washing your hands you can easily spread infections that way.

Too many people think that if they use condoms they are at very low risk of catching anything..

That is true. How many swingers do not get tested? If you took 100 swingers and got them to ask honestly, want would the results be?

This is why we ask for 28 day written certs, you need to have photo ID e.g. passport and they write the number down. When picking up the certs a week later photo ID as got to be produced again so they know its for the same person.

Its only with these documents we do bareback but even then like anything there is always a risk but it does reduce risk of STD drastically.

Never mind just the 'usual' everyday swingers what about the guys and gals that just do one off pick ups (one night stands) thats worse I think as they are not as self aware as swingers

Not sure if people look at this on TV Embarrassing Bodies thay have a checker .. for STDs.. Just Answer a few quick questions and you'll get a personalised STI Risk Report. You'll also get clear information about the Sexually Transmitted Infections you're at risk of catching, how to avoid them and what to do if you've already got one. Its a really god TV show and worth a look .

I go every 12 weeks, for my own piece of mind.

No I don't think it should be on here. I think Admin/mods have enough to be doing without keeping tabs on clinic info, and changes of dates, contacts etc.

This site is for adults only, and the adults should take responsibility for their own actions and health

Swinging clubs yes, thats very different from the thousands upon thousands of clinics across England alone, never mind the other areas fabs covers.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the swinging clubs, just list and link the club website and allow feedback from fab-ites, are you suggesting swingers should 'rate' their clinics? And dont most of the clubs actually sponsor fabs?

If you are going to be tested, you will be, if you're not, then having a section on here won't suddenly make you change your mind.

And having had someone be absolutely horrified when he saw the bruise on my arm when I had been tested, there are a lot of people on here who aren't tested...ever...

I've had similar horrified responses to being tested, some people think you obviously play bareback and fuck everything that moves, sometimes you just can't win

Its not just swingers that have sex. It should be part of your routine when you become sexually active at whatever age.

I was really proud of my son when he said he had been, he's not a swinger or sleeps around just being sensible. And he went on his own. Laughed when he described it to me though

That's why these types of threads are pointless! All it'll attract is the holier than thous, those seeking a "you go!" from strangers after claiming they get tested after every meet: including a social coffee meet in Costa's!

The only way then to get people to understand how important it is, is by talking about it. Saying well the people that need to know should know, so not the way to be. Sticking your head in the sand and saying "It is their problem!" is not the way to be

and people are talking about it and do talk about it, admitted usually over in swingers chat.

This subject comes up in clubs too, I know more about some of the clinics in Birmingham than I do about those local to me.

I only use the 1, as I think it makes sense to have my records in one place.

Personally I love costa, never felt the need for a check up afterwards so am I missing something? or is it a location thing?

It's rather sweet you thinking talking about it will make a difference. Read the bareback, pregnant, flashing threads: all high risk activities in my humble opinion to see people don't give a monkies about themselves, let alone you or I!

People will do whatever they want, all we can do is take measures to protect ourselves the best we can: that we can control, actions of others we can't!

Connections swingers club in Blackpool hold a screening service free and I'm sure it's monthly.

Not many clubs do that now !

Very proactive
