Hi bsygirl,
Thank you for your response. I am a single lady myself and I can offer you the way I deal with this very subject. I agree, completely, with Susan as there is no specific "timeline" when you should take a step farther in your relationship....this you will know when it is time.
As for the STD portion, I make it VERY clear right up front that this is a must to be with me. Hey, if he doesn't like it, then he does not respect you and move on. I have never heard anyone complain about this in my experience. In one circumstance, I was informed that he had herpes and then he gave me my choice to stay or to leave. My choice was to leave.
Yes, you are correct that some STDs can lay dormant for a while such as HPV, but without physical genital warts, there is no testing on men for this as of now. Even with testing, you should always use condoms as Susan mentioned. It only takes one time to live with something for the rest of your life.....make sense?
