I think I preach about sexual responsibility every day of the week. But for some reason it was on my mind again. Getting tested is NOT ENOUGH. Knowing your status is NOT ENOUGH. Nothing is ENOUGH if you are not sexually mature and responsible. If you are sexually active then you have got to use protection. Nothing else is acceptable. And when I say protection I mean that you need to START with a condom. Birth control pills do not protect from disease. I knew a woman once who had casual sex and got pregnant. She had an abortion because she didn’t feel she was in a position to raise a child. Afterwards she started taking birth control pills. WHAT ABOUT DISEASES! While I don’t speak out against casual sex, I do strongly believe that you must be MATURE AND RESPONSIBLE. Getting caught is not the sign of a mature OR responsible person. By the way, I hate when people say shit like that. “I got caught.” No….you were irresponsible. PERIOD. Which makes me think that if you don’t think enough of yourself to protect yourself from disease then you’re obviously not qualifying for the responsible category and you may need to consider abstaining for a while.
 
Knowing your status in May does NO GOOD if you continue fucking randomly with no protection. If a hooker can use a condom then your grown ass should too.
 
I know a man who says he can’t FEEL it when wearing a condom. I can’t say I truly understand that; probably because I’m working with female equipment and don’t know what men feel during sex. BUT I’ve worked with HIV positive people and they FEEL some shit that I don’t EVER want to experience. Lesser of two evils you say?
 
Today in Yoga class I hurt my hip. I don’t know what happened but one minute I was in half crescent position stretching upwards and the next minute I was on the floor in pain. I’ve been laying on the couch with ice on it most of the day.
